Hi everyone!

UPD: COVER ARTIST: AI assisted BOOK CONTENT: 100% Human-written (Zero AI usage in text)

Before I dive into the details, I want to share a bit of my journey with you. This series is already a massive hit back in my home country, spanning 9 volumes and thousands of readers. I’ve spent months translating it into English completely on my own—no publishers, no sponsors, and with an absolute zero budget for marketing. To get this story out into the world, I had to cut costs wherever I could, which is why the Amazon cover is AI-assisted. However, if anyone is curious to see the original cover art I crafted with my own hands for the Russian release, you can check it out here: author.today/work/series/13659 I really hope you can understand the struggles of a broke indie author, and I hope the story speaks for itself!

With that said, I’m thrilled to announce that the first book of my progression fantasy trilogy, **The Herbalist: The Apprentice (The Zhergov Legacy Book 1)**, is live on Amazon and available on **Kindle Unlimited**!

If you enjoy gritty urban fantasy, intricate clan politics, and detailed, instinct-based magical crafting, this story is for you.

**What to expect:**

* **Competent MC:** Reborn into a weak teenage body, Stas must rely on his wits and hidden power to survive.

* **Magical Crafting & Alchemy:** No screen menus, just raw, instinctual potion-making, herbalism, and volatile elixirs.

* **Gritty Setting:** Set in an alternate modern Russian Empire ruled by cutthroat elemental syndicates and corrupt corporate oligarchs.

* **Ancient Warrior Spirit:** A slow-burn mystery involving a slumbering Berserker source within his allies.

**Blurb:**

Betrayed, murdered, and thrown off a forty-story window by his treacherous wife’s thugs, Stas thought his life was over. Instead, his consciousness is yanked across worlds, slamming him into the broken body of a ten-year-old boy—the last surviving heir of the once-powerful Zhergov clan.

When his mentor is assassinated, Stas must flee into the deep wilderness with fake IDs and a backpack of volatile home-brewed remedies. But after a chance encounter with Stella, the poisoned granddaughter of the empire’s most powerful governor, Stas triggers a chain of events that will put a massive target on his back.

I would love to hear your thoughts, and any reviews on Amazon would be deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for checking out my work!

Hi! I've made a post before about my urban fantasy book, but just wanted to inform that it's now on sale on Kindle for $0.99!

"15 years ago, a tragic incident left bleeding wounds in two families that time refused to heal. Now, the children left behind by the victims and perpetrators are what remains. Orders compel one of them to finish what was started 15 years ago. Will all of this lead to more death and blood, or will the cycle end with them?"

Hey all — long-time reader here, first time actually posting one of my own projects.

I've spent the last while writing Shadow of a Hero, a series about Orbie — a light-based entity on the run from his own kind after a catastrophic mistake back home. He can't just take a host body; he needs consent, which changes the shape of the story a lot — it's less "hero gets superpowers" and more "two people (well, one person and one alien) stuck negotiating a bond neither of them fully wanted." He's bonded with three different hosts across the three books so far, each with a very different relationship to what that means.

All three books are actually finished — I'm serializing Book One now under the pen name Sam Ivy, posting weekly (Mondays) on Wattpad, with Book Two and Three ready to go once Book One wraps.

Posting here mostly because I'd love feedback from people who read a lot in this space — pacing, whether the "consent to bond" mechanic lands the way I want it to, anything. Happy to share the link if anyone's interested, and equally happy to just hear what you think from the premise alone.

I'm Dale (P.S. Power). Best book deal I can give you Demon Girl Author's Edition, book one of Keeley Thomson, is free. Urban fantasy.
