Mage Guardian 1

2022

Rune Tellarus always wanted to become a Guardian, a powerful warrior bonded to a magic-wielding woman known as an Adeptal Mage. Except he failed the test as a youth and thought he would never get the chance to study at their Academy or learn magic. After a terrible tragedy in a nobleman's home, he finds himself suddenly bonded with the nobleman's daughter, Narcissa. This bonding is an irrevocable merging of two spirits that grants both Mage and Guardian magical gifts. Yet Rune hardly knows Narcissa. And the beautiful nobleman's daughter hides a secret, one that the kingdom's mages would do anything to uncover. Now, Rune and Narcissa find themselves on the run, in a city filled with Mages and Guardians who will do anything to capture them. If the pair is going to survive, they'll need to cultivate their bond and learn new magical abilities. But will it be enough for their bond to grow into something more? Rune might have to discover something about himself he never knew, a secret that could lead to establishing bonds with multiple Adeptal Mages... Mage Guardian contains unconventional relationships and multiple bondings between the main character and mages.

Mage Guardian 2

2022

After clearing his name, Rune Tellarus finds himself a guest in the palace. The plans to harm himself and his Adepts have not been foiled completely, and to do so will require getting close to the most powerful man in the kingdom: King Celtis. At the king’s request, Rune will soon begin his training as a Guardian Elite, and that means bonding to another Adept. And what better woman to bond with than the king’s own daughter, Princess Nolana? His mission is soon put at risk when the palace is visited by an ambassador of Djani. This man wishes to make the princess his bride, something that Rune cannot allow to happen, not if he wants to protect his Adepts. But the palace is filled with secrets, and not everyone is who they appear to be. Least of all Rune Tellarus, Guardian Prime.

2023

After discovering the statues of Tellus the Mad and his Adepts, Rune soon learns that these statues are not just simple stone monuments. Beyond the stone shells, the hearts within the statues still beat. With the war with the Djani on the horizon, their Goddess devising her own plans, Rune and his Adepts must find a way to stop Tellus. To do that, they'll have to delve deeper into the essence of magic and find a hidden source known as Resonances. Through this sacred and mystical form of magic, the bonds between Rune and his Adepts could grow ever stronger. Unlocking the Resonances will be no easy task. But to save the world and protect the women he loves, Rune has no other choice.
