About Kell Inkston

Kell Inkston is unironically an extrarealmic S.E.E.R. analyst tasked with viewing and recording causal events within the lower universes. He compiles these writings on the side for the entertainment of the public and to take credit for it himself - what a jerk. If you were to tag him with a single niche, it would be "multi-dimensional fantasy" though that itself isn't quite on the money.

His passions include coffee, birdwatching, gardening, videogames, and the beach.

He lives with his split psyche counterparts and two psychotic dogs in uptown Inklend on Ivy Lane - the side of the street that doesn't actually have Ivy on it.

Woodcastle: The Courts Divided Book One Apr 6, 2018

by Kell Inkston

( 23 )

$0.99

The Golden Throne has lain bare for thirty years.
Once again, evil forces turn their gaze toward the decent kingdoms of the world, and now there's no legendary king standing in their way.

Pulled from the front lines of a fool's war, Knight Mage Meeo Letlind isn't expecting a difficult mission, but she’s been wrong before.

Alongside a mythic swordsmaiden and a half-dragon who’s as strong as he is cold, her team visits the hidden kingdom of the fae to investigate a gruesome string of unexplained murders.

Initial evidence suggests that the human kingdoms are to blame, but are they really?

When the search takes Meeo to the furthest reaches of the kingdom’s underground, she discovers a threat so ancient, and so unspeakably horrible, that she immediately becomes the target of accusations and doubt the moment she reveals her discovery. No sooner has she taken up her trusty spell bow does she find the very people she strives to protect calling for her head on a platter.

Will she put this legend to rest, or will she and her team join the body count?

A sword and sorcery fantasy unlike any you've read, experience shock, whimsy and awe as a tightly wound enigma is deliciously-unraveled alongside a cast of knights, fairies, little cooks and a far-too-dashing overlord.

by Kell Inkston

$4.99

With one deranged government down, it's time to make good on the score and return to Effie's homewood, where a bitter civil war between fairyfolk is dividing kin and country.

Mort's never seen so many pretty lights in his life, but to Effie nothing's more disgusting that seeing her traitors again.

A cold reception flares hot immediately as Mort and Effie are once again put under fire for their grievous actions in the human lands, and they have high-magic executioners hunting for them around every bough and borrow.

Effie has to come to terms with her family's betrayal before the fires of revenge burn too hot; can she find it in her heart or will she destroy more than her adversaries?

Amidst this massive yet pint-sized drama, Mort continues to slip into the clutches of a certain god of limitless fury and pain. Does he call on the power of the swamp pantheon, or will he risk it with his humanity?

Mystic Vengeance is Book Two in Soot Knight. Stay smoky.

$2.99

A great secret is revealed, and old friendships become fierce rivalries.

Hot on the great necromancer's trail, Meeo and her unlikely crew of fugitives cross the dimensional divides to enter Oa's dead realm, filled with horror and challenge aplenty. The scenery is nice, and she'd like a cabin out here someday, but for now, they have to rush forward and finish their quest, lest her fellow Royal Knights catch up and put them in the ground.

Of course with Meeo, it's never quite that simple. It's not long down the road before her team uncovers an impossible truth about how she knows so much, to the point that it's a challenge for even the Great Overlord to hold back his suspicions.

Can Meeo direct her fellows to victory against the Lord of Necromancers, or will she and her friends meet an early grave?

The battles are fiercer, the challenges are greater, and the minions are goofier in the second book of The Courts Divided: Gravetower!

Nocturna League: Season One (Episodes 1-5) Apr 10, 2020

by Kell Inkston

( 11 )

$2.99

Colette has one chance to save everything she loves, and she’s made a deal with the devil to do it...

She has a year to train to be a fighter instead of a fisherwoman, and learn how to defeat the local overlord whose raiders destroyed her home. If she fails, the life of her best friend, Grancis—and her freedom—are forfeit to said overlord. And she has no plans to join his harem any time soon.

But signing onto the eldritch crew of the MS Nocturna to train proves more than the two friends bargained for. The Captain, its mysterious leader, knows far more than he lets on about their situation, and sailing with pirates of another dimension may be more terrifying than facing any of the monsters back home…

Episodes:

Book 1 – The Witching Book: Colette is disappointed with the Captain’s first assignment for her. Steal a book?

But it’s not just any book she has to procure. It houses the soul of a dangerous, millenia-old witch in it, and she has to fetch it from a swamp infested with reptilian monsters who aren’t too keen on letting her take it…

Book 2 – The Mist Hour: When a vagrant kidnaps her friend Grancis, Colette has to convince the Captain and his cook, the giant human-like lobster Boris, to help rescue her. The mission takes them to an island fraught with conflict, where two dueling houses of sorcery are fighting a deadly civil war.

Book 3 – The Sunken Breath: Colette’s strange dreams are anything but harmless. A parasite has infiltrated the Nocturna, and Colette must destroy an evil doppelganger before it takes her place and has the rest of the crew at its mercy.

Book 4 – The Record of Ambition: Colette’s quest for revenge began with a devastating raid on her home and a foolish assault on the overlord who instigated it. She makes a wager to win Grancis’s freedom: if she can best him in combat within year’s time, both she and Grancis will go free. If she fails, she has to marry him. That’s not going to happen if Colette has anything to say about it, even if he is stupid hot.

Book 5 – The Black Eye: The beautiful Mayor of Port Wreckwind invites the Captain to a grand social event. It’s obviously a trap, but the Captain wants to use this opportunity to wrest control of the port from the Mayor for good. Meanwhile, the power of an eldritch force called “The Black Eye” entices Colette with the promise of unrivaled power… if she’s willing to sacrifice something she cannot replace…

Behold, the greatest deal on the Eversea: This "season one set" contains episodes 1-5, numbering a massive 170,000+ words of thrilling, hilarious, mostly-just-horrifying eldritch mania and adventure.

For fans looking for a loving spin on the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft, Nocturna League is an adventure sure to remind that anyone can find a reason to laugh when they're having their internal organs feasted on by fish men.

$0.99

75% off for preorder until November 1st. Get in on this toasty offer while you can!

She’s a spark-casting fae. He’s a bomb-making reject. Now that’s an explosive match.

Twenty-five year old Mort is what we call a racial outcast. On the day of his birth, he was directed straight into the gutters of society by his parent's murderers. Now he'll do anything he can to get revenge, even as they send hunters to finish the job. At the very end of his rope, he’s got just one thing: an uncanny talent of crafting and deploying crude bombs.

Effie's lot is just as bad. Born as a lesser fairy under the weakest star, her people wrote her off as little more than spider food. Sold off to merchants by the people she trusted, she meets Mort in the darkest of places, and through their combined hardship, a bond is formed. Fairies hated her because her magic is exceptionally weak. All she can do is cast sparks.

...Wait a second.

Today, an unlikely relationship is formed. Tomorrow, this duo will show their hunters, the monsters, and even the dark gods, just how powerful a bomb without a fuse can be.

This is the first book in Soot Knight, a dark fantasy following the exploits of a duo that has chemistry so good it's deadly.

Solution: A Spacefaring Short Story May 8, 2015

by Kell Inkston

( 49 )

$0.00

Deep space, a soulless expanse of littered stars, ushers the cash-strapped mercenary Asegai to a chance, once-in-a-lifetime discovery; a derelict, drifting flagship, ripe for the taking. His AI finds, evaluates, and links with the craft, promising vast wealth upon the ship’s recovery. As always, Asegai is cautious but perhaps blinded by the immensity of his discovery.

He’ll soon find this to be a mistake.

Within the command center of the monstrous prize, the mercenary pilot encounters a ‘life-form’ like no other – Contrarian, an advanced artificial intelligence with professed sentience and counterintuitive processing, designed to be the perfect opponent against any “inferior” human pilot. Before long wits are tested and a battle rages, pitting the gifted warrior against an intelligence bent on the destruction of them all.

In a stunning upheaval of rational thinking and the concept of artificial intelligence, the door is opened to possibilities that will make you rethink advanced evolution, life, and the true meaning of death. You won’t know until the very end who...or what, triumphs.

( 14 )

$0.00

Ketairne, a lone planet uninhabited by all but the souls of the dead and the beasts that claimed them.

A veteran mercenary needed the cash, and he needed it bad. He recalls his life's most dangerous mission as he goes out to hunt a beast that can perfectly mimic anything and anyone without pause or flaw. With the help of an officer from the prestigious Librarium, a state-of-the-art combat droid, and a famed subspace mercenary, the mission appears at first too easy to worry for- but none of them are prepared for the encounter with the one true danger of this planet - a creature that defies even the android's wildest scientific reckonings.

As night falls and the planet is shrouded in darkness, alliances will be tested, blood will be shed, and the mercenary will have to make the hardest decision of his life... that, or he’ll meet his end at the tip of an arrow.

Enjoy this twist in the science fiction and thriller genres. It is my utmost hope that it's appealing to your tastes!

The Scar (Courts Divided Side Story): A Dark Fantasy of Dragon Knights, Estranged Riflemen, and Heroes who Leave Too Soon Nov 20, 2020

by Kell Inkston

$3.99

The end of a centuries-old conflict brings with it more than peace.

After the events of Woodcastle, Knight Law returns to the front lines of the war: as miserable and gruesome as ever.

This time, he's put in charge of a small team with the sole intention of drawing artillery fire. It's an idiotically dangerous task to fight as bait, but considering how people don't like half-dragons much: it's not an unexpected assignment.

His team mates appear to be the typical Western magic-wielding stock: never touched a rifle in their lives and each with wild dreams of burning easterners.
That is, except for one.

His name's Vulrick, and aside from being the most experienced soldier on the team aside from Law, he's been party to the war for the longest by far.

A victim of war-crimes stemming from before the conflict was even recognized by the nations, Vulrick brings more to the team than even he would expect:

The past.

A thrilling military-fantasy adventure where everyone's on the line, and the ghosts of the past hold the present by the neck.

Bloodkeep: The Courts Divided Book Three Jan 20, 2021

by Kell Inkston

$4.99

In the moonlit realms of the ancient vampire house, a lone knightess embarks on a quest of revenge.

Not is as it seems as Knight Order sets off to find her old friend. She knows there's more to all of this situation than she had originally thought, but has she come all this way to save Meeo, or to slay her? What good would it do for a person who's mind is already made up?

On the other side of the massive crimson manor, Overlord Chaos and his newest recruit push through the night-stalking hordes on a slightly different quest with a shared destination. They're coming for the Queen of Vampires herself, who just so happens to be the new boss of Order's best, rather traitorous friend.

The intrigue and mystery continues to ramp up and all new secrets are revealed. Little known to either the servants of the Night God of The Knights, but Order has a little secret up her sleeve that will shake both societies to their core if word got out.

It's no long a question of "if". Now it's just a matter of "when".

This is book 3 in The Courts Divided, a meta-fantasy adventure that has more than cool spells and hot vampires.
