Laverne Holt

Gift: Book One The Prelude

Two thousand one hundred and twenty years after the Divine War—Armageddon—angels and demons have clashed, the Devil lies imprisoned, and humanity finally learned to live in harmony. Yet the ancient prophecies warned: after a millennium, darkness would return. Now, as demonic forces rise again, the Supreme Being bestows upon chosen humans “Gifts”—mystical powers fueled by spiritual energy—to tip the balance between light and shadow. Nal Handock is a sixteen-year-old high schooler from Orlas’ snowy highlands who never expected to become one of those chosen. A haunting vision of his missing father drives him into the heart of a clandestine organization responsible for regulating Gifts and hunting those who misuse them. Joined by Lysha Holt—his enigmatic classmate whose own Gift pulses with hidden strength—and the mysterious newcomer Kayishi Brooks, Nal embarks on a harrowing quest: protect the world’s seven Lumlands from Gifts twisted by demonic corruption. From the winter in Hellen to the bustling capital of Lob-Chen in Orlas, they will confront angels and demons, sorcerers and djinns, and face trials that test the very core of their souls. But not all Gifts are alike. Beneath the Celestes’ watchful gaze, six legendary Celestial Gifts—Persuasion, Copy, Harmony, Will, Resurrection, and Pandora—hold the key to restoring balance. Beyond these lie the Neo-Gifts, unpredictable powers that evade priestly control, and elemental crystals forged to shield humans without Gifts. When loyalties blur and ancient forces stir, Nal must decide whether to uphold the fragile peace or risk plunging the world back into chaos. Gift: Volume 1—The Prelude is a fast-paced, strategic fantasy adventure where laughter, danger, and unbreakable bonds collide—and where one spark of faith can ignite the greatest power.

Pampered by my Billionaire CEO Husband

Aurelia Holt had quietly sacrificed her career to be a stay-at-home wife for her husband, Blake Carson, so that he could work full time while also pursuing his dream of becoming a successful producer in the future. But on the night of their second wedding anniversary, she watched her husband come home with another woman in his arms. It was Stella, his first love whom he was never really over. “She is already upset, you don’t have to make her feel worse. Is it wrong to show care and concern for my friend?” He argued as he clenched his jaws and kept his gaze steady on my face. “She isn’t just your friend, she was your ex, your first love. And isn’t it so convenient that everytime she needs you or something happens whenever I just want to spend some time with you?” He had always chosen Stella over her, putting her needs and feelings above hers. And that night, she finally had enough. “All you ever care about is Stella!” I continued to yell so loudly that I could practically hear my voice ringing in my ears. “You always do this! You always choose her over me, you always put her feelings above mine.” I watched as a smirk tugged at Stella’s lips as she watched me argue with my husband over her. Blake walked to her side, wrapping his arm around her as she curled her fingers around his arm with a pitiful look. “Stop yelling, you are scaring Stella. Why can’t you be more understanding and stop being so self-centered? Not everything is about you!” The last thing she remembered was her running out into the pouring rain and the next thing she knew, she was asking a stranger to marry her. That stranger was Xavier Wilder, the billionaire CEO of one of the most successful companies in the country. But there was more to him that Aurelia didn’t know just yet, something he was hiding from her. Together, she vowed to make her ex-husband’s life a living hell. There were only two things he cared about the most―his reputation and his ego. And she planned to destroy it all, bit by bit.
