Of Talons And Chaos

Four friends. One murder. 

A monster who haunts them from shadows.

 
COMING SOON – OCTOBER 2026

COVER TO BE REVEALED SOON!

A world where plagues don’t fade, monsters don’t hide, and the rulers pretend both are under control. Four misfits were forced to hunt. Not heroes. Just stubborn idiots hunting monsters to survive, one day at a time. 

Until the one person who held them together was murdered. Their world shattered at once.

Now the demon lurks in the shadows, writing them. Letters that arrive at every turn, knowing things no one would know. A proof that he’s always one step ahead.

Vengeful, they embark on a journey that none have dared to take and none have succeeded.

A short standalone read for fans of forbidden love, star-crossed lovers, fae and human romance, slow burn, and folklore-inspired romance.

On a night when the kingdom was sleeping, Tiliana, a hamadryad, the rarest among the divine sprites of nature, emerged from the oak and the lime trees. She was a curious soul, drawn to the ways of the human world.

Years later, a new human king found her.

By the day, Nikanor ruled his people. But with her, under the moonlight, he was just a man with things to teach, learn and a reason to stay.

When the fates had something else planned, would they find their way back to each other or would they remain bound by the duty and laws of nature?

Maya Sanego is an independent author currently based in Canada. She has been writing stories for most of her life, but it was only a few years ago that she decided to share her worlds with fellow fiction fanatics.

A millennial with a rusty spine, she spends her days either yapping into a headset and trying to make a living as a consultant, or hunched over her laptop and writing about new worlds, relatable characters, and slightly cursed destinies. If the lore in her stories sounds familiar, it’s because she draws inspiration from myths across the world and adds a splash of her own color!

When she is not writing, she reads, crochets, and tries her hand at sketching.
