TSTMM updates will resume in a few weeks. Thanks for sticking with the storm.

Let’s make this series self-published — together. Before the Stormlord ruled the skies, he was just a man––flawed, mortal, aching with ambition. Velasyr Caelthorn was born to a crown he could never claim, chained by bloodlines and the weight of what he was not. He wanted power––not to destroy, but to protect. To become more than the spare prince. More than the boy who loved too deeply, too recklessly. He never meant to fall for her––a commoner with wildfire in her spirit and salt on her skin. She was everything the court despised. Everything he would give up a throne for. But love is not always enough. And power never comes without a price. In the storm's eye, where gods listen and promises burn, Velasyr will be remade––heart, soul, and storm. But even immortality cannot mend what breaks in the ascent. This is not the story of how he fell in love. It's the story of how he lost it-and what the storm took in return.

THE CROWN OF WATERS

Noel Vallis, a young boy born into the noble Vallis family, has always lived in the shadow of expectations. As the heir to a powerful estate, his life seems destined to follow a strict path, but Noel has always felt out of place. Raised in a world of discipline and secrets, he yearns for something more—something that doesn’t conform to the rigid rules of his family. When Noel discovers his mysterious connection to the ancient koi pond on his family’s estate, he unwittingly awakens a dormant power tied to his bloodline. Magic surges within him, but it’s a power that cannot be controlled. A dark crystal refuses to react, and Noel is left questioning his place in the Vallis legacy. His only confidant, Ethen—his childhood friend and the son of his nanny—reveals that Noel is not just any heir, but the true heir to an ancient, magical legacy tied to the very land itself. The Vallis family’s secrets have been hidden for centuries, lost during the Empire Unification War. No heir has appeared in over 300 years, and Duke Vallis, Noel’s father, remains unaware of the true history that binds their family to an ancient seal—the Throne of Waters. This seal lies within the koi pond, a place that has always comforted Noel, but now holds a deeper meaning. It is a key to immense, untapped power, and only Noel, as the true heir, can unlock it. With the help of Ethen, Noel begins a journey of self-discovery and magical awakening. But the power within him comes with a price. As he grows stronger, he must confront his fears, his painful past, and the dark secrets of the Vallis family. The road ahead is fraught with danger, and Noel must learn to master the magic that flows through his veins, all while protecting his family’s legacy from those who seek to control it for their own gain.
