Governor

MONSTER HOUSE: MY MONSTROUSITY FAMILY

NOTE: IF YOU'RE SENSETIVE TO GORE STORIES PLEASE, DON'T READ: In the beast-world of Burmurlerk, Queen Yrmeta, a powerful, dragon-like monarch blessed with primal elemental magic, once ruled in peace. But her reign shattered when members of her own court, nobles, governors, even distant kin, accused her of consorting with the forbidden forces of the Ancienty Seven of Deadly Beings, ancient entities tied to corruption and apocalyptic power. Betrayed from within, war erupted. Yrmeta’s realm burned. Many of her bloodline, cousins, nieces, nephews, siblings, and older children, were killed. With her kingdom crumbling, she fled through a rift to Earth with only her husband Lord Velkan, her sister Aunt Tyrraline, and four of her surviving children (ages 25, 23, 21, and 19). On Earth, Yrmeta entered a conscious stasis, a living crystal cocoon, to heal. During her slumber, she magically bore eleven more children, all gifted, monstrous, or strange. Among them is the youngest: Elian, now 14 years old, seemingly human, but only Tyrraline and Velkan know the truth of his origins. The family, now living undercover in the human world, poses as eccentric and homeschooled while navigating schools, jobs, and the modern world. Aunt Tyrraline acts as the sharp-tongued matriarch, enforcing secrecy and stability within the chaos of their monstrous household. Yrmeta, even in slumber, can communicate telepathically, but only with Elian. Despite appearing fully human, Elian is loved deeply by his siblings. He alone can hear their mother’s voice in dreams, where cryptic warnings and impossible memories hint at a deeper destiny, one possibly tied to The Seventh, an unnamed and sealed entity from the Ancienty. While the family tries to live peacefully, strange phenomena escalate. Elian’s dreams grow darker. A new substitute teacher, Mr. Cane, appears with unnatural timing and eerie knowledge. His gaze pierces Elian’s disguise. And then, nightmares begin manifesting physically. Behind the veil of human life, Yrmeta’s enemies, and the true power of the Ancienty Seven, begin to stir again. And Elian, whether he likes it or not, may be the key that unlocks both the past’s truth and the future’s destruction.

The unbroken legion (A testament for the twelfth of June)

In a world scarred by war and oppressive regimes, the once-proud Twelfth Legion lies shattered. Disarmed and humiliated under the tyrannical General Besa, General Mervin Kapapi ("The Iron Resolve") and his remaining soldiers plot to reclaim their honor and weapons, offering their services to a treacherous Governor in a desperate gambit. Meanwhile, the Legion's spirit endures through its scattered remnants. Survivors Kael and Lira, escaping a massacre by the fanatical Void Sect, are entrusted by enigmatic forest tribes with a dangerous weapon: a mysterious obsidian seed pulsating with latent power. Simultaneously, Captain Elias Varek is blackmailed by the Governor into a mission to the cursed Deadzone, where he uncovers a horrifying plot: the Governor is excavating the Twelfth Legion's own fallen soldiers to weaponize them into an undead army. Branded traitors and relentlessly pursued, Elias and allies like the fierce Kaela navigate treacherous landscapes—from the Citadel's hidden passages to war-torn battlefields. They face betrayals like the turncoat warlord Veymar, deadly assassins like the aether-wielding Chameleon (whose actions hint at a conspiracy linked to the Legion's fall on the Twelfth of June), and terrifying forces like the Unseen Hand cabal of void mages. Each encounter reveals fragments of a larger, darker threat, symbolized by the cryptic message "Eclipsed." As the exiled remnants of the Twelfth, now led by figures like Kael Veyne, battle usurpers and unearth ancient secrets within a buried Aetherian ship, Elias and his comrades fight desperate last stands against overwhelming enemies like the warlord Garrik. Their survival hinges on resilience, unexpected alliances (including the formidable Witch of the Wilds), and timely reinforcements, most crucially the Seventh Legion. The Unbroken Legion is a gritty epic of resilience against annihilation. It follows soldiers stripped of everything but their resolve as they fight to reclaim their honor, expose necromantic plots, confront ancient powers, and uncover the truth behind the betrayal that shattered them, proving that even a broken legion can be reforged in the fires of defiance.

The Just Caliph (Hazrat Umar Bin Abdul Aziz)

Umar bin Abdul Aziz, born into the wealth and privilege of the Umayyad dynasty, seemed destined for a life of comfort and power. Yet, his heart was drawn toward faith, justice, and the principles of Islam. Raised in Medina under the influence of great scholars, his early years instilled in him a love for knowledge, simplicity, and fairness—values that would later define his rule. As a young man, he was appointed governor of Medina, where he displayed a keen sense of justice, curbing corruption and promoting the welfare of the people. However, his commitment to righteousness earned him powerful enemies within his own family. His life took an unexpected turn when Caliph Suleiman bin Abdul Malik, on his deathbed, named Umar as his successor. Shocked and reluctant, Umar accepted the responsibility, but only with the firm intention of returning the empire to the principles of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. From the moment he took office, he abandoned the luxuries of the Umayyad court, choosing instead to live humbly, renouncing wealth, and ruling with unmatched integrity. His first acts as Caliph were sweeping reforms that reshaped the empire. He dismissed corrupt governors, redistributed wealth to the poor, and established strict accountability for all officials, including members of his own family. His justice was impartial, his leadership unyielding, and his faith unshakable. Unlike his predecessors, he refused to expand the empire through conquest, believing instead in strengthening the moral and economic foundations of the state. He emphasized education, welfare, and the fair treatment of non-Muslims, earning the respect of both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. But his radical transformation of the empire did not go unchallenged. The Umayyad elite, enraged by the loss of their privileges, conspired against him. They saw his governance as a threat to their wealth and influence, and many sought to remove him by any means necessary. Despite opposition, Umar remained steadfast, choosing the harder path of righteousness over personal safety. His reforms continued, and the empire flourished under his rule. Poverty declined, justice prevailed, and the people—long oppressed—finally saw a ruler who truly embodied Islamic values. However, the relentless opposition of his enemies soon took a darker turn. Rumors of poisoning swirled around the court, and his health began to deteriorate rapidly. Aware of the plot against him, Umar met his fate with calm resignation, placing his trust in Allah. In his final moments, he gathered his family and advisors, urging them to uphold justice and continue the path of righteousness. With his last breath, he left behind a legacy that would forever be remembered. Umar bin Abdul Aziz's death marked the beginning of the decline of his reforms. The Umayyad dynasty soon reverted to its old ways, undoing much of his work. However, his brief but impactful reign left an indelible mark on Islamic history. He became known as the "Fifth Rightly Guided Caliph," a leader whose justice and piety rivaled those of the greatest rulers in history. His letters, policies, and legacy continued to inspire generations, serving as a model for just governance and Islamic leadership. This novel is more than just a biography—it is a deeply human story of a man who rose above the trappings of power, choosing faith over fortune, justice over oppression, and sacrifice over comfort. His journey from a privileged prince to a humble yet powerful caliph is a testament to the transformative power of faith and integrity. In an age where power often corrupts, Umar bin Abdul Aziz stands as a beacon of what true leadership should be. Through political intrigue, personal sacrifice, and the timeless struggle between corruption and justice, "Umar bin Abdul Aziz – The Just Caliph" brings to life the story of one of the greatest rulers in Islamic history.

Something about HER

"Jill!" Sheri whispered. Jill continues to give Sheri grief. Though, in all honesty Jill didn't care, nor did she have room to judge. Jill has done what Sheri is about to do once or twice. Maybe even three times by the time she's done with Anthony. Who knows what his status is? Don't care... But Jill could shamelessly say this, she's never blatantly seen a man's wife and still brazenly flirt with their husband. Sheri was on a whole new level of savagery, and Jill wasn't letting her best friend off the hook so easily. Jill thought to herself, the next time Sheri tries to act all innocent and poise to judge me, imma rub the dirt all up in her face. She continues to push Sheri’s buttons till she gets up to leave and go to the bathroom. Jill was getting ready to tell her to use the gel when unexpectedly, Sheri collides into the Governor. They were a whole tangled mess, Jill practically had to pull them apart before his wife came. The Governor was grateful for her intervention because even he realized he wasn't focused. Upon meeting the governor's wife, Jill was 100% sure, she did not like her. This self-important, condescending chick, made Jill simply want to backhand her. Her whole attitude was trash. She looked down at Sheri and Jill the whole time with fake greetings of kindness. But Jill matched her energy. Like b*tch, your not about to run over me. But Sheri... Practically became her yes girl. And Jill had to fall in line because it wasn't her fight. *** After the awful encounter with Monica, the Governor's wife, Jill got to work on making sure Sheri had a more prominent presence. The girls went to the bathroom, and Jill opened every stall to make sure no one was around. "What was that?!" Jill yelled. "I know right?! Absolute b*tch!" Sheri added. Jill wanted to smack Sheri. "No! You!" Sheri was confused. "You're not focused! When she came up to us all stank, you had no fight in you. You acted like a docile little girl. She said jump and you went 'how high?' Even I had to fall in line." Jill was so infuriated. "Oh...". Sheri said in recollection. "Listen that right there was a freebie. Monica is not about to think that's how things are gonna be moving forward." Jill declares. Sheri was silent but signaled she understood Jill continued as she paced the spacious restroom. "She's the one that had things she wanted to discuss with you, not the other way around. You should of let Monica know what day YOU were available instead of going along with what she choose!" "I know I just got nervous..." Sheri put her hand to her forehead. "Well that needs to be out of your system now that we have a vague idea of what she's about. When we go to the Governor's house, don't act all impressed, as if you've never been in a place like that before, and whatever she asks of you, tell her you need time to deliberate. She's not getting her answer right away." Jill looked at Sheri sternly. "You're right! I'm sorry!... I guess I felt bad about my behavior with her husband that I kind of submitted to her." Sheri admitted. "So are you gonna feel bad about the Governor's behavior too?!" Jill snapped "Takes two to tangle, And y'all was entangled!" "Jill... I don't know if I can be the type of woman that can mess with a married man..." Sheri lowered her head. Well what is she trynna say about me! Jill thought. *** Hey everyone, thank you for your interest in my book, this is my first time writing a story. Hope you enjoyed this excerpt.
