The Shattering, Chapter 68

The Honored One, Chapter 71

A Guardsman's Game, Chapter 86

The Breaker of the Oceans, Chapter 20

Rhaenyra Targaryen stood at the edge of the training yard, palms resting lightly on the low wooden rail that marked its boundary. The early sun fell across the Red Keep’s walls, turning stone to gold, and the air smelled of morning dew on grass. She listened to the shuffle of boots, the clank o...

A Cold God, Chapter 19

What had I made?

The world slowed as I pulled my thoughts inward, stretching the moment until every breath, every flicker of movement, hung in stillness. Time moved like oil through water. I stared down at the child in my arms, skin and hair white as ash-fall, eyes burning with a light no m...

The Hammer of War, Chapter 34

Serafall Leviathan stepped from the twilight and into the hall of the ruined suite. A pair of devils in dark uniforms flanked her, their postures stiff with caution. She did not speak to them. She merely raised a slim finger, motioning them to stay. They obeyed. An unseen pressure gripped the air...

A Senju in the Stars, Chapter 10

When Batu and his brothers were given the order, none spoke against it aloud. A hundred White Scars, born from the gene-seed of the Khan, tempered in ash and ice and fire. Sent not to wage war, but to ferry the weak through hell. To a place called Red Hope. A hive city lost before the first shell...

The Cursed King, Chapter 59

Lorgar stood on the bridge, hands resting on the railing. The warp drive flickered in red runic warnings, engine shrieks echoing through the corridors. Crew-serfs moved in hushed urgency, checking gauges that glowed in the dim half-light. A faint tang of ozone drifted, joine...

The Bone King, Chapter 62

Daemon Blackfyre stood in the grand hall, mud and sweat clinging to his battered form. He felt the cold air drift past the walls of black stone, each slab etched with scenes of horror. The vastness of the chamber pressed in, and at its center hovered Jason Lee upon his floating throne of fused bo...

The Honored One, Chapter 70

A Guardsman's Game, Chapter 85

A Cold God, Chapter 18

“Heart of Darkness, your presence is killing this world.”

That single warning would not leave me. The words of that small forest child repeated in the silence of my mind for days. I withdrew most of my consciousness from the avatar, letting the tall Icewalker drift into a still...

The Hammer of War, Chapter 33

(Trigger Warning for this chapter. It gets dark.)

My eyes widened.

This was bait.

It had to be.

Otherwise, what’s the point of having bodyguards if they were far weaker than the one they were meant to be protecting? There wasn’t any. Because they weren’t bodyguar...

The Breaker of the Oceans, Chapter 19

Valon paused at the rail of the Stormrider, arms folded, lips set in a tight line. He had known his daughter would one day bring him something unthinkable, and yet the sight still stirred him. Though, to be entirely honest, that she walked in and out of Valyria unharmed was already quite...

A Senju in the Stars, Chapter 9

A low, guttural roar filled the chamber as Batu emerged in a flash of smoke and dust. The giant's armored bulk staggered forward, legs scraping against twisted metal and shattered stone. His shoulder crashed into the nearest wall, sending rusted steel plating clattering onto the broken floor. The...

The Cursed King, Chapter 58

They stood beneath a blazing sun on a world without clouds. Heat shimmered in waves across the broken ground, and the distant dunes glowed with a pale radiance. A line of Word Bearers stood arrayed in crimson and black, each helm turned to the figure at their fore. At the center of their ranks, L...

The Bone King, Chapter 61

Daemon Blackfyre stood among a ragged line of captured lords, their clothing torn and caked with mud. The morning, if it could be called morning beneath the gloom, brought only a dull light. Undead warriors surrounded them, skeletal figures bearing spears, gauntlets rattling against the shafts. T...

The Shattering, Chapter 66

“Threaten my children again and I will bathe the stars in your blood.” 

A war raged within him for a moment. The side of him that knew only war and death and service to the Viltrumite Empire wished to tear this mongrel alien apart to make an example of him. Another part, the strong...

The Honored One, Chapter 69

He stared upward at the monstrous shape descending through torn clouds. Its shadow swallowed the daylight, darkness bleeding over the city below. A vessel immense and silent, crafted in that very familiar blocky and over designed imperial aesthetic, with all the eagles and lightning bolts and the...

A Guardsman's Game, Chapter 84

I walked alone through the desert, boots pressing into shifting sand that stretched in every direction. The compass in my pocket gave a faint hum as I checked it from time to time, the needle pointing northeast. The last settlement I'd left behind was only a memory now, though I carried its voice...
