Love Under Fire

Blackthorn Under Hellfire

In a world where demons rule and humanity lingers in the shadows, society is strictly divided. Demons are categorized into three castes: Big Horns, extremely rare and overwhelmingly powerful; Medium Horns, the ambitious middle class; and Small Horns, the common people or demons if you will. Meanwhile, humans live in segregated communities, their very existence dictated by an invisible force known as Life Essence—the intoxicating energy they emit, the substance demons crave. For the safety of both species, humans and demons lead entirely separate lives. Expect for Cassidy "Cass" Veyne, because bro wanted to be different. Born to a powerful Big Horn father and a human mother, Cass is not a demon. He has no horns, no demonic energy, and—most baffling of all—no Life Essence to feed on. Or at least that's what he has been told his whole life. He’s an anomaly in a world that lives on strict order. But his father, a high-ranking noble in demon society, refuses to let him live among humans. Instead, Cass is forced into Blackthorn Academy (fire name I know), an elite private school meant for the most powerful demons in the country or the ones with the most money. From the moment he steps inside, Cass doesn’t belong. No horns. No power. No fear radiating from him like the others. The students whisper behind his back. Teachers look at him like a puzzle. Some demons want to test him. Others want to break him. At the top of Blackthorn’s social hierarchy is Nathaniel "Nate" Azrael, the student body president, the most feared Big Horn in the school, and the heir to a long lineage of royalty. His dark curling horns, piercing silver eyes, and suffocating aura make even strong demons tremble. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, Nate thrives on domination and fear—it’s his nature. Cass is the only one who doesn’t flinch under his gaze. He isn’t afraid of him. And for the first time, Nate doesn’t know whether he wants to destroy Cass… or claim him. A forbidden love between two people who should never have met. A boy trapped between two worlds, struggling to prove he belongs. And a dangerous, undeniable pull between a fearless outcast and the demon who feeds on fear itself. This is Blackthorn under hellfire by yours truly.

Under The Shadow (ছায়ার নিচে)

In the eerie solitude of the mountains, five friends—Maya, Niban, Priya, Ehan, and Niti—decide to spend a vacation at an old and mysterious hotel, the "Silvara Resort," far from the bustle of the city. The hotel, known for its strange reputation, has been the subject of whispers among the locals. Some say no one who goes there ever returns, while others dismiss these as mere superstitions. As the friends arrive at the resort, they are greeted by an unsettling atmosphere—unexplained sounds, a cold chill in the air, and an eerie sense of being watched. The warning of an old woman about not going to the second floor is brushed off, but strange occurrences begin to unravel. From whispers in the dark to a cryptic note found in the dead of night, the tension builds as the friends realize that the hotel is hiding more than it seems. In this supernatural and psychological thriller, the lines between reality and nightmare blur. As the night deepens, the friends must face their fears and unravel the sinister secrets of the Silvara Resort—before it's too late. --- সারাংশ (বাংলায়): পাহাড়ের একাকী নির্জনতায় পাঁচ বন্ধু—মায়া, নিভান, প্রিয়া, ইহান এবং নীতি—শহরের কোলাহল থেকে মুক্তি পেতে একটি পুরনো রহস্যময় হোটেল, "সিলভারা রিসোর্ট"-এ ছুটি কাটানোর সিদ্ধান্ত নেয়। স্থানীয়দের মধ্যে গুঞ্জন রয়েছে যে, এখানে গিয়ে কেউ ফিরে আসে না। হোটেলে পৌঁছানোর পর তাদের সামনে হাজির হয় এক অস্বস্তিকর পরিবেশ—অজানা শব্দ, ঠাণ্ডা বাতাস, আর যেন কেউ তাদের দিকে নজর রাখছে এমন অনুভূতি। এক বৃদ্ধা মহিলা তাদের দ্বিতীয় তলায় না যাওয়ার সতর্কতা দিলেও, বন্ধুরা সেটা উপেক্ষা করে। তবে একের পর এক অদ্ভুত ঘটনা ঘটতে থাকে। এক রাত গভীরে তারা একটি রহস্যময় চিঠি খুঁজে পায়, যা তাদের আরো গভীরে টেনে নিয়ে যায় সিলভারা রিসোর্টের অন্ধকার গহ্বরে। এটি একটি অতিপ্রাকৃত এবং সাইকোলজিক্যাল থ্রিলার, যেখানে বাস্তবতা এবং আতঙ্কের সীমা মুছে যেতে থাকে। বন্ধুরা যদি সিলভারা রিসোর্টের গোপন রহস্য উন্মোচন করতে চায়, তবে তাদের মুখোমুখি হতে হবে এক ভীষণ রহস্যে।

Making fire

Life was tiring, I wanted so much to be free of everyone. I wanted to hold on to what little happiness I remembered walking through the woods. The feel of the crisp air when the sun broke into dawn, the way I felt the trees come alive as I wondered through them, how quiet everything was. But now I’m married. To the most unpredictable man I had ever encountered. But there is something about him. The way he moves, eyes sharp and narrowed watching my every step. I always felt as if he were hunting me, and maybe he was. I could never get away from those peering eyes long enough to enjoy a moment to myself. He was always there, around every plan of escape, every thought of silence, every time I even thought of a life away from him. No doubt due to the binding ceremony that was performed. The only request I had about the ceremony was that it needed to be performed by a priestess but my father wanted HIS personal witch to bind Tristan and I. Once my father ordered you to do something ‘not one person disagreed’. I did not mean to think so ill of her but I can not help this feeling that she may have added a little spell to the ceremony. If I could only speak to her, I have not seen her since I left my brute of a fathers home. I could always ask Sheri-Tristan’s second wife. Yes. I’m the third wife of this man I call husband. But Sheri was witch born before being turned by Tristan. She had the most beautiful violet hair and matching eyes. Where as I had bright auburn air with green eyes, the only thing I kept of my mother. Sheri could help me find out if I am under some spell so I can get Tristan out of my head long enough to leave his kingdom. She hated me so, I believe it is due to Tristan not informing both of his wives that a third was going to be arriving. And that was me. If I was going to ask her for help it had to be now, I have my awakening ceremony tonight. It will mark 3 months since our wedding and as accustomed with Tristan and his coven, 90 days was the mark a bride had to wait to be judged by the collective to be accepted. Tristan assures me that I will be accepted and he will turn me tonight in the hues of the blood moon that was to be eclipsed. I did not want to be turned. I was human. If I was turned I’d loose my humanity and become full vampire. The same thing happened to Ava-Tirstan’s fist wife. She could not handle the lust and killed a few members of court. Some human but some halflings like Sheri. I did not want to kill. I shuttered at the thought of taking the life essence of another living being. I did not want to live in this manner. I only pray that Sheri is in a favorable mood this afternoon. Here I stand, outside her door. I had been standing here for about 10 minutes. I needed every help I could to escape my marriage. Yet, knocking on her door was the most exhausting thing I have been doing since I arrived here 3 months ago. “Here goes nothing.” I said out loud as I finally knocked. “Entrer” She was quite demure when she’s not in a mood. I might have a chance of gaining her help after all. One look my way and her mood was already changing. “YOU!” —maybe not………….
