The Dance of the Dragons knows no mercy. Jeyne Snow, a bastard of the North and reluctant healer, is accustomed to healing the wounded until they are dead. But the fires of Vhagar consume the healer's tent, and a landslide throws her into the darkness beneath the fallen slabs and a dragon-blooded prince appears at her side. In the North, monsters don't end with dragons: in old tales whispered by hearths, beyond the Wall dwells a cold older than kingdoms, older than dragons.

The magical world stands upon ancient artifacts — and an even older lie. Anna is part of this system, unaware of the price at which it was built. When promises of freedom and a new order arise in the Lower City, Anna finds herself at the heart of a conflict between the Council, the Houses, and a power long thought defeated. This is a story of choice, of power, and of the moment when embracing darkness becomes the only way to preserve the light.

Hi there, it's Lu here. And, yeah, this is a "useless" collection of moments from my characters' stories that I'll be writing down here. I'm not trying to become famous or popular. I create characters, a world, and stories purely for myself, and I post the drawings and manuscripts just for the sake of it (if someone happens to like them, or as a way to save them somewhere). There might be things other than stories, too, like explanations of my world and information about the characters.

The air was thick with the smell of sulfur and the stench of decay. The knight, his name lost to the ages, stumbled through the cavern, his armor battered and dented. He’d been fighting for hours, the echo of his blade’s clang against the dragon’s scales reverberating through the echoing space. Every strike, every parry, drained him further, his breath a ragged, rasping sound.
