Author has written 3 stories for Of Orcs and Men/Styx: Master of Shadows, Shovel Knight, and Thief: The Dark Project.

Hey!

I usually don't write that much, but I'm currently publishing a story about the Thief game from 2014. I also have written some Goblin story (about my favorite Goblin of all times, Styx) I've been working on with some other fans over at DeviantArt. I really, really have a thing for green guys with pointy ears and I think they don't get enough love, so I tried my best to change that. It's a pretty dirty, mature story, but what did you expect from a Goblin assassin? Also, I love Garrett.

About me...

I love gaming, books, art and stories. I tend to get heavily obsessed with antagonists and unconventional characters. I have a thing for Dragons, Orcs, Goblins and all those other underrated creatures. I found some poeple over at DA that share these kinks with me and our Styx-story became some sort of collaboration project, with me doing the writing. There's art out there you should have a look at if you enjoyed our stuff.

English is not my first tongue, but I try my best and apologize in advance for stupid typos.

Dance of Blood and Wine by MessierDomain reviews
When the young Corvo Attano won the Blade Verbena at 16, he never would have anticipated the path it would take him down. The years to follow would end up proving most eventful. Neither would Jessamine realize how much one man could impact the life of an all powerful Empress. (A mostly lore friendly take on Corvo and Jessamine's close relationship, and how it came to be)
