Shadow of Veilfire

In the kingdom of Aetherholt, a dark prophecy casts a long shadow over the birth of twin princes, Eris and Ealric. When an ancient curse threatens infant Eris, King Azrikal makes a desperate, secret pact with the enigmatic Veil, saving his son but binding himself to a chilling, consuming power known as Veilfire. Years later, as corrupted Riven Lords emerge and Prince Eris mysteriously vanishes, the true horror awakens: the Echo, a cosmic entity of unmaking, begins to consume Aetherholt. Eris reappears, no longer himself, but a terrifying conduit for the Echo, unleashing its destructive power from within the castle walls. As King Azrikal descends into a cold, relentless Warden, battling the Echo with his agonizing Veilfire, Queen Sylvaris races against time. Her desperate research uncovers not only Ealric's inherent, pure counter-aura, but also the forbidden Altar of Severance and its horrifying truth: a ritual to free Eris, but at "The Price"—a soul-rending cost that will forever fracture the twins. In a climactic, brutal confrontation, Azrikal makes the ultimate sacrifice, using his consumed essence to contain the Echo within the shattered Ley Lines of Aetherholt. The kingdom is saved, but at an unbearable cost: Azrikal is unmade, and Eris and Ealric are left as profoundly changed "shadow" and "light" fragments, their bond irrevocably fractured. Volume One plunges into a world where salvation demands unimaginable sacrifice, and peace is merely the quiet after the storm.

The Thin Lines Between Us: A Possessive Bully Romance

"Are you kidding me? I get jealous the second somebody else even looks in your direction! Do you think that's because I just want to fuck you?" He demanded. Then he paused, staring at me in that way of his that made me want to crawl out of my skin. "I can't do this anymore," he exclaimed, his mouth wide open, his eyes bigger than saucers. He looked like he wanted to scream. And he might as well have, for what he said next. "I'm in love with you, Rina. I have been for months. That's the reason I can't leave you alone, because I can't get you out of my head!" Tropes: Enemies to lover, bully romance, second chance romance. Written from dual points of view in two different time periods. Trigger warning for brief discussions of child abuse, self-harm, suicide, and dubious consent. 10 years ago, Rina was a foster child placed with a new family in Wellsprings, a wealthy suburb of Washington, D.C.. Prior to the start of her senior year, Rina stumbles upon the captain of the football team, Easton Clarke, shooting steroids before practice. Handsome but an asshole, Rina vows to avoid Easton at all costs. The only problem? He doesn't want to leave her alone. Easton Clarke knows the only way to win his father's approval is to perform on the field. If Rina rats him out for steroid use, his chances of playing college football--and of his father finally being proud of him--will be ruined. Intent on making sure Rina keeps her mouth shut, Easton vows to make her life at Wellsprings as isolated as possible. That is, until Easton realizes he can't get the mysterious new girl out of his head. As fall progresses into winter and secrets begin to come to light, Easton will do anything to keep the girl who could ruin his life to himself. When he goes too far, though, he risks losing everything.

Circumventing Fate

When Lei Xing booked a luxurious cruise as a graduation present to herself, she expected to have plenty of well-deserved rest and relaxation with an ocean view before jumpstarting her career. What she did not expect was to be the unlucky person who would fall overboard to a miserable watery death… or so she thought. To her astonishment, she opened her eyes to find herself in an ancient setting, a different body, and a new life as the eldest daughter of a high court official. {...Okay, at least I'm rich...I can still live happily and freely, it's still a golden opportunity at a second life. I can live it well~...maybe go travelling, start a business, or something…It definitely could be worse...} To Lei Xing’s horror, her new host was scheduled to enter the palace to compete in the concubine selection for the new Emperor. {...What?! I am definitely not interested! Of all places, it’s that viper pit! I’m not built for any Royal BS or harem fights. Please keep your scheming lives to yourselves and leave me the hell out of it, NOT INTERESTED!!!... Can I not go, please? T_T)...No? Nevermind then, failure is always an option... Failure is the only possible outcome. Bring it on! Hahahaha…} While Lei Xing was making plans on how to skip out of town, fate was also very busy working out its own plans for her, mapping out its own course for her life behind the scenes... Poking holes in her plans to her confusion and outrage. "...Little chicken, as long as I'm alive you won't die." "Nonsense, if anyone is going to cause my death, it would be you!!" *** "Do you really feel nothing after all this time?" He asked as he looked at her with searching eyes, trying to see into her soul... "...Who...would..." she mumbled under her breath... *** "When things go against nature, there will always be a price that must be paid..." |||~~~~~~~~~~~||| Author's Note~~ Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the read as you go along!

Zorok tierra del olvido sin ley

Tierra del Olvido sin Ley En un mundo arrasado por el abandono de Dios, las leyes de la humanidad han desaparecido y el caos gobierna. La tierra desolada y gobernada por facciones y fuerzas místicas, parece un lugar sin esperanza. Tras descubrir el abandono de Dios, la humanidad no tardó en derrumbarse bajo su propio peso. Ya no había mandamientos ni profetas, ni temor al juicio ni esperanza de redención. El cielo, antes faro de moral y consuelo, se tornó un abismo mudo. Y con el silencio divino llegó la anarquía. Sin ley ni piedad, el mundo se fragmentó en tierras desoladas donde el caos es la única ley y la esperanza, un mito olvidado. Las antiguas civilizaciones, alguna vez guiadas por principios sagrados, se disolvieron en un mar de guerras destructivas, hambre insaciable y oscuridad espiritual. El orden colapsó. La justicia fue reemplazada por fuerza bruta, y la verdad por superstición. En los rincones más oscuros, entidades colosales (encerradas durante eras por los pactos divinos) despertaron y caminaron nuevamente entre los hombres. Lo que queda ahora son facciones enfrentadas, cultos profanos, criaturas olvidadas y una tierra viva que castiga tanto al inocente como al culpable. Las antiguas biblias fueron quemadas, los templos profanados, y la fe reemplazada por el filo de la espada y la sed de poder. En medio de este paisaje roto y sin redención camina Zorok, un joven guerrero forjado en el fuego de la pérdida y la batalla. No conoce otra vida que la del combate. Cada día es una lucha por no morir; cada noche, una guerra interna contra los recuerdos, la culpa y el vacío. Sin una causa, sin fe, sin futuro, su existencia es una cadena de sangre, acero y silencio. Pero cuando el eco de una profecía olvidada comienza a despertar (una que habla de un guerrero que no será ni santo ni demonio, sino juicio encarnado) Zorok empieza a percibir que su vida, rota y desprovista de propósito, podría ser parte de algo mayor. Algo que trascienda la destrucción. Con enemigos colosales, aliados inciertos y dioses caídos que aún susurran desde las sombras, Zorok deberá decidir si será simplemente otro espectro en la historia... o la chispa final que encenderá la rebelión contra el olvido divino. Porque aunque los dioses se hayan ido… la última palabra aún no ha sido escrita.

THE FALL LINE

Derik Halvorsen was born brilliant—and broken. Raised in silence by a violent ex-military father in rural Montana, Derik never cried, never connected, never forgot. By sixteen, he could dismantle any system, crack any server, and understand evil better than any therapist who ever tried to study him. And then one night… he made his first move. When his father dies under mysterious—but eerily clean—circumstances, the police rule it an accident. Derik disappears. No leads. No trace. Just one new ghost in the system. But Derik didn’t run. He evolved. Armed with a list of names—abusers, traffickers, corrupt prosecutors—he begins executing brutal, calculated murders that look like suicides, accidents, or divine punishment. Every kill is a message. Every detail, a signature. He doesn’t murder for revenge. He murders for balance. As federal agents begin to catch on, whispers spread in the underworld—someone is out there correcting the justice system’s mistakes. A living algorithm. A myth. A nightmare. But Derik isn’t hiding anymore. He’s building something. And the deeper he goes, the more powerful enemies take notice—some who don’t want to stop him… and others who want to use him. Because sometimes, the only thing worse than a broken system is the man who learns how to perfectly destroy it. ⸻ Themes • Morality vs justice • Systemic failure • Psychological trauma • The mind of a killer • Cold logic vs emotional chaos
