Burning Flames

Of Flames and Gold

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!

Burning Beneath His Touch

MATURE CONTENT WARNING!!: These people be getting freaky in the sheets! "You think I haven’t noticed your eyes on me?" Kai En's voice was dangerously low, his lips curled into a cruel smile. "The way they linger— you can’t decide whether to kill me or kiss me. Am I right, little alpha?" ... For as long as Jun could remember, vengeance had been his only purpose. The last survivor of a disgraced family, he vowed to tear down the empire that destroyed his life, starting with its most prized jewel—Prince Feng Kai En.  Now, under the guise of Xiao Liu, a lowly servant in the prince’s retinue, he plans his revenge. But nothing could have prepared him for what awaited within the palace walls. Neither Xiao Liu’s sharp blades nor detailed plans were good enough to fall the man behind the title. Every failed assassination attempt and heated exchange left him more entangled with the man he was meant to destroy. Kai En—ruthless, untouchable, and powerful. An alpha in the eyes of all. Xiao Liu uncovered the prince’s greatest secret—beneath the façade lay something far more dangerous and vulnerable. Something Xiao Liu intended to exploit. Duty had always been Kai En’s burden. Yet Xiao Liu’s presence stirred emotions long buried—desires with no place in his world. Every attempt on his life only deepened the prince’s fascination, pulling him into the chaos Xiao Liu brought. As war looms and enemies close in, their dangerous dance intensifies. Desire grows where hate once ruled, pulling them into a storm of violence, lust, and something deeper. “You’ll never belong to anyone else,” Xiao Liu snarled, his lips finding Kai En’s neck again, biting down hard. “Not her. Not anyone. You belong to me.” Xiao Liu knows Kai En is the key to his revenge, but the more their lives tangle, the harder it becomes to tell if it’s vengeance he craves… or the prince himself. And Kai En must face the ultimate test that could break his kingdom and heart. Can Xiao Liu destroy the man he’s come to obsess over, or will he fall first?

Flesh than Flame

In a world ravaged by a catastrophic virus that has rendered animal meat toxic to consume, humanity teeters on the brink of survival. The infection drives the government to legalize cannibalism as the only viable source of sustenance, and the rich, safely protected behind their wealth, cling to a fleeting hope of veganism as a luxury. Meanwhile, the lower class is forced to scavenge for scraps, to hunt the fallen, and to survive at any cost. At the heart of this suffocating dystopia stands Jenny, a silent, broken girl born at the bottom of a crumbling society. When she was six, she witnessed the horrific death of her mother, torn apart by the very people who once called her friend. Abandoned in a world where the rich hide behind their walls and the poor are left to fight for survival, Jenny finds herself trapped in a nightmare with no way out.

But the true horror of this world is that hope is fleeting and always betrayed. As the cycle of cannibalism, murder, and societal decay intensifies, Jenny’s soul is slowly crushed by the unbearable weight of a corrupt system that sees her as nothing more than fodder. Amid the horror of a world where human meat is bred in facilities and the deadly “17 Days of Scorch” a process turns victims into explosive, fiery corpses, Jenny must navigate a path where every step is soaked in blood. But no matter how much she struggles, no matter how much she fights to find a way out, she learns the most horrific truth of all: change is impossible in a world where survival is more important than humanity, and the flame of life can only burn so long before it consumes everything in its wake. A harrowing tale of pain, loss, and the darkest depths of human desperation. A chilling exploration of a world where evil wears the face of necessity, and survival is a never-ending cycle of terror.

The Path of Corpse Burning

Only corpses that have undergone strange transformations or display ominous signs are subjected to burning. The practitioners of this dark art, known as corpse burners, face extreme danger in their trade. Especially at midnight, when one corpse burner works alone in a locked room, if the body turns into a vengeful spirit, the burner is certain to die. Qin He, a corpse burner working at the canal docks of the chaotic Da Li Dynasty, makes a living from this perilous occupation. For him, facing not just the dead, but the unknown threats they might carry, has become routine. His life had been uneventful—until the mysterious “corpse-burning reward” system emerged, turning his world upside down.

He becomes bolder, with no fear of the malevolent corpses that might rise again. Slowly, he begins to entwine his fate with ever-greater risks. In each life-or-death situation, he not only battles the dead but struggles with his own inner turmoil. In this turbulent era, Qin He’s destiny is inevitably tied to darkness, death, and the transformed bodies he burns. As he delves deeper into the art of corpse-burning, where will it lead him? Everything hangs in the balance, waiting for him to make his next move.
