Ravana "Raven" Moriarty came from a family steeped in crime. The Moriarty name was synonymous with evil, a legacy she never wanted. Desperate to escape that world, Raven moved to Los Angeles and reinvented herself as a detective and therapist with the LAPD. Her deep knowledge of criminal backgrounds gave her an edge, but her new life was upended when she was paired with the obsessive, charming, and dangerously handsome Lucifer Morningstar. Lucifer broke every rule to make Raven his partner, determined to uncover the truth behind the Moriarty name and prove himself worthy of Raven's trust. Raven, a logical and guarded woman, struggled to understand Lucifer's isolated and enigmatic ways, her only goal to destroy the family legacy that had haunted her. As Raven and Lucifer delved deeper into a reality Raven had thought impossible, the ghosts of her past threatened to cloud her future and undo the hard-won peace she had found. Would Lucifer's relentless pursuit make Raven see what she had been missing, or would the weight of the Moriarty name crush any chance at a fresh start?

Rosellene Valentine, the eldest daughter of Earl Valentine, was the epitome of beauty, a fragile and untouchable rose that bloomed in the frozen gardens of the Valentine estate. After reaching the depths of despair. She returned unexpectedly, stepping back in time by seven years. Before fate and time had ruined her. Then, She met him...The Duke of Eryndor, the kingdom's guardian and shield. She had become gracefully attuned to the admiring glances and silent reverence of those around her. So much that she could feel the weight of every lingering glance, the unspoken affection in his eyes, as his love for her bloomed, undeniable and apparent...once again. "Should your joy be the prize, I would gladly place myself at your service." His golden eyes seems to glow faintly in the dark as he whispered softly. (The Prince charming X The Damsel in Distress)

We were a peaceful people living in harmony with nature in the vast lands of Lyréanor, but this peace was short-lived when our people were defeated by the dark elves, an ancient people even older than this world. It is said that they arrived in Lyréanor by boat and since their arrival, chaos has been unleashed. Proud of their obscure power, derived from dark rituals, they have raised gigantic armies of monsters whose name is synonymous with terror: ‘Obscurus’. They went on the rampage, and everywhere they went the grass didn't grow back, life died and disintegrated. Seven, there were seven. The seven dark elves known as the Lords of the Apocalypse. A single gesture from them was enough to strike us all down, a single gesture from one of them was enough to decimate us in blood and terror. And as I, Foster, contemplate the macabre scene before me, the bloodied and deformed bodies of my fellow elfes beings, and as death grips my soul, a strange sign appeared before me. [Ding...

A legend fell, but he did not die. Once feared as an untouchable existence, Yanwei orchestrated his own destruction to deceive the heavens. Now, reborn as something neither human nor beast, he walks the path of Devourer—where strength is stolen, and evolution is carved from the corpses of his enemies. With a body that is not his own and a cultivation method feared by all, he lurks in the shadows of the Golden Age, preying on the so-called chosen ones of fate. But this is no tale of revenge. The game has only just begun.

Beyond gods. Beyond creation and destruction. Beyond even the Almighty Omniversal God—there exist two beings that should not be. The God of Nothingness—who holds the power to erase anything, even existence itself. The God of Permission—whose will alone allows reality to unfold. They are not rulers. Not entities. Not even forces of nature. They are concepts—absolute laws of reality given form. And yet, for the first time since the birth of all things, they have asked a question. Which of them is truly superior? A paradox binds them: If Nothingness erases Permission, then nothing new can ever be created. If Permission denies Nothingness his right, then nothing will ever end. The balance of existence itself teeters on the edge of collapse. And so, they turn to the one being capable of unraveling the impossible—Noah Vance. A mere human. No power. No divinity. Just an impossibly sharp mind that has questioned reality long before meeting them. Now, as the first and only mortal to ever learn of their existence, Noah must judge which of these two untouchable forces is superior. His decision could redefine the laws of existence—or erase everything, including himself. But what if the true paradox is not about which of them should win… but whether they should exist at all? And what if Noah is the only one who can prove it?

Shunned by her pack as the Traitor's daughter, Natalie Cross—a werewolf without a wolf—has endured more pain than most could imagine. Forced to bear the mark of a ruthless alpha, rejected by her destined mate, and ultimately banished, she finds herself alone and unwelcome among her kind. With the Alpha's scent branding her as untouchable, no other pack will take her in. Desperate and discarded, Natalie hides among humans, scraping by in a world that doesn’t know or care about her true identity. But everything changes when she crosses paths with an adorable wolf pup—and its enigmatic, wealthy owner. The man offers his help, something no one else has dared to do. Yet, kindness feels like a foreign concept to Natalie. Can she trust this stranger who harbours secrets as deep as her own? Or is his generosity just another trap, promising a fate darker than the one she’s already survived?

In a world where everyone is a slave, someone is born who cannot be controlled. At the same time, an unstoppable villain rises on a quest for revenge. But the truth is darker than he ever imagined, and now he must face an unbeatable enemy — including himself. *** Bruno was a young man born on Earth, the son of an influential modern Emperor. Despite having everything money could buy and receiving the best and most rigorous training to succeed his father, he chose the opposite path, defying his family’s ruthless rule. The price of his innocence? A merciless death and the complete erasure of his existence by the deity controlling his fate. On Earth, the law of the powerful was absolute; a slave could never rebel. But then, he wakes up again. He’s reborn in a world of cultivation, where freedom was promised to those strong enough to claim it. Now, he could soar like a free bird and carve his own destiny... or so he thought. The harsh reality of this new world soon showed him how insignificant he still was. He realized he had only changed masters. The freedom he sought was an illusion. The heavenly laws treated everyone as servants, and their rules were unbreakable. Bruno learned this bitter truth after losing everything that made him happy due to an unjust rule. But who was he to question? Hopeless, Bruno died... and was reborn as Alm, an unstoppable villain. With a soul poisoned by pain and vengeance, he sowed chaos across the universe. Planets were destroyed, countless lives taken, and his name became synonymous with terror. A hero rose to oppose him, wielding a sacred sword of hope. People from all corners of the universe united against Alm, raising their voices and weapons to stop the villain who defied the heavens. But Alm was no longer just fighting for revenge. He was challenging the heavenly laws that sought to control him, fighting fate and all living beings. And against all odds... the sacred sword shattered. The alliance of the entire universe was defeated. The villain won! Now, Alm found himself alone in the empty void of a dead universe, facing his own inner demons. Who could be more ruthless to him than himself? “What have I done?” At that moment, the doors of truth opened to him. Everyone was a puppet of a supreme figure, an entity that manipulated minds and even the heavenly laws. “I will find you, no matter where you are!” Thus, the last emissary of the true Heaven’s Will awakened. Alm, who once only relied on his sheer will and rage, now had a system to guide him. But his opponent was an immortal existence, above even the heavens. The villain who destroyed an entire universe now faced a new beginning. He discovered that the universe he devastated was just a tiny grain of sand in an infinite cosmos, where countless other universes existed. And so begins the legendary tale of the villain’s rise... and the Sacred Round God? A strange Duality of Shadows existed within one person. But this time, he wouldn’t be alone. *** To clear up any potential confusion or frustration, here are some key points about the story. I’ll avoid major spoilers, but a few things will be revealed. You might find this concerning at first, but just check the book cover—it shows the main character and his only partner. She first appears at 10 years old, but rest assured, there’s no inappropriate content or early romance. At around 13, SHE starts developing feelings for the protagonist, but he doesn’t respond until she’s an adult. With her determined personality, she tries to seduce him at 17/18, but it doesn’t work. Their relationship only happens much later. The book has nods to other works, with my own spin on them, and focuses on avoiding elements I find problematic in other stories. Lastly, the beautiful book cover was commissioned and created by HDIArt.

Eclipsed by fate Who remembers the ruin of a god? Who dares to chase what was never meant to be found? Noor—an enigma draped in silk, a storm without thunder, a shadow that bends the world yet leaves no trace of its touch. She is whispered of in corridors where power is traded like currency, yet no man holds her name, no past binds her, no hand dares to reach. She walks unclaimed, unseen, forgotten by design. But some things refuse to be buried. Some ghosts never rest. Sanlang, a man cast in golden light, sculpted into perfection, a deity in the eyes of the world—and yet hollow. Beneath the applause, beneath the worship, something stirs. It begins as whispers in the dark, fragments of a life he does not remember, a truth that gnaws at the edges of his mind. A gavel’s fall. A price too steep. Shackles too fine for a king. And in the abyss of his lost memories, she stands. Watching. Waiting. Who is she? A dream? A curse? Or the key to a something that should have remained untouched? He chases her like a man chasing the sun, believing himself the hunter. He is wrong. She does not run. She does not fear. She does not need to hide, for she knows—should he tread too far, should he step beyond the veil—he will find not salvation, not love, but the remnants of a god unmade. He who was never meant to remember. But now that he does, the only question that remains is this: Will Noor let him live with the truth? Or will she erase him as she did herself?

Synopsis --- Beyond the hurricane, in a land untouched by mortal eyes, the Wheel of Destiny spun, weaving the fate of gods themselves. At its center stood Death, once one of the most formidable deities of the Immortal Realm—now watching his power wane as his house crumbled. His son, Chaos—young in years but a force of destruction so feared that the King of the Gods, Maximum, named him the God of War—had been stolen away. Taken by his own sister, Peace, and hidden in a place where no god had ever set foot. With Chaos gone, war ceased, and the House of Death teetered on the brink of ruin. Yet Death could do nothing, for Maximum had granted Peace divine protection—no god could lay a hand on her. Desperate to reclaim his lost power, Death dared to break the greatest law of the gods: bestowing the legacy of a god upon a mortal. With the last of his strength, he chose a single human and gifted him his power, whispering a single command: Kill Peace. Free Chaos. Let war reign once more. But mortals are unpredictable. With a soul comes desire, and with desire, greed. And it is this mortal’s greed that will turn Death into the most feared god of all.

Then there’s James Bellini. His nickname? The Angel of Death. The man everyone fears. The man they all whisper about in dark corners. They say he’s merciless, that he has killed more people than anyone in the Circle. No one dares cross him. But there’s a secret, one that no one knows. James Bellini has never killed anyone. Not once. The rumors started because of a misunderstanding, a mistake so deep that even he couldn’t fix it. Now, the entire underworld fears him. Even the other bosses treat him like an equal, like he’s one of them. But the truth? The truth is something only God himself could untangle. And James? He’s just a man caught in the middle of it all.

Liliana Hill spent years perfecting the art of obedience—Graceful and Sheltered. She lived in a cage built by tradition and control. Deception came as naturally to her as breathing—until she met him. Nolan Alchys thrives in control—ruthless in the shadows, untouchable in the light. He never plays games he can't win. She tempts him and defies him, yet keeps him wanting more. "Careful," she warned, voice barely above a whisper. "I ruin people." He chuckled, leaning in. "Darling, I don't break that easily."

And for Liliana, the cost might be everything.

"To the world, they are gods—untouchable, ruthless, and devastatingly powerful. To him, they are chaos, danger, and heartbreak waiting to happen." Alexander, Alec, and Ace DeLorenzo are the True Blood Alpha triplets—legendary leaders of the Silver Fang Pack and CEOs of the world’s most powerful tech empire. Feared in the supernatural world and worshipped in the corporate one, they rule with iron fists, unshakable loyalty to each other, and no interest in finding mates. Until one fateful night changes everything. In the middle of a rogue ambush, they discover Roo Amato—a fragile, terrified omega on the brink of death. His scent ignites a bond so fierce it consumes their every thought, awakening primal instincts they never thought possible.

The corporate world becomes a battlefield as enemies lurk in the shadows, eager to exploit their newfound weakness. At the same time, their pack teeters on the edge of rebellion, unwilling to accept an omega as the Alphas’ mate.

With a web of secrets, shocking twists, and steamy, heart-pounding moments, Roo must navigate the overwhelming love of three possessive Alphas while unraveling the mysteries of his own past. Will he rise to meet the challenge, or will he crumble under the weight of their world? One mate. Three Alphas. A bond no one saw coming.

To break free, he must rewrite his destiny, protect those he once used, and challenge the unseen forces manipulating reality. Will he finally escape, or is this just another illusion? ___________________ Why used the word Shadow Sovereign? "Because this set of words aligns perfectly with the atmosphere and structure of my novel." When combined, "Shadow" and "Sovereign" create an image of a ruler who is all-powerful and untouchable but operates with subtlety and mystery. This makes them seem like a force of nature that is both invisible and overwhelmingly strong, commanding from the shadows, unseen but undeniable. A Ruler of Secrets: someone who controls the hidden, whether it’s secrets, destiny, or unknown realms. __________________ 10 chapter / per week chapter length = 1500 words + __________________ This isn’t just a story—it’s an experience.

As the saying goes, "Hard times create strong men." It’s a phrase the Valorian nobles love to throw around, a shiny little motto they use to justify their oppression of the lower classes. Up there, near the sky, where the air is cleaner and the sun actually reaches, they live in their glittering towers, untouched by the rot that festers below. Down here, in the depths, it’s a different story. Rats gnaw on the corpses of those killed for a few dollars or maybe it was just a bar fight that went wrong, ending with one of the responsables with a bullet to the head. Who knows? Who cares? That’s just life at the lower levels. Brutal, ugly, and short. I’m one of the lucky ones, if you can call it that. Thanks to my aunt’s tireless efforts, I managed to claw my way into the Valorian Military Academy. Don’t let the fancy name fool you... it’s just a glorified cannon fodder factory. But hey, at least I get paid while I’m here, and that’s more than most lowlifes like me can say. Still, the question gnaws at me... Will I even live long enough to pay my aunt back for everything she’s done for me? Cadets like me are sent on patrols to "maintain order" in the lower districts, which is just a polite way of saying we’re thrown into the meat grinder. The mafias down here don’t care about uniforms or badges. They’ll kill you just for looking at them wrong. And today? Today’s my first time leading a small squad of cadets on patrol. We’ve been assigned to one of the "safest" areas in the lower districts... as if such a place even exists. The air is thick with the stench of decay, and the streets are lined with hollow-eyed faces that have seen too much and given up on hope. But that’s not even the worst part. No, the worst part is her.... This cheeto-headed girl!!

Readers who love dark fantasy, supernatural Westerns, or mythic horror will absolutely be hooked from the Story. Sneak Peak "He should have died a hundred times. But luck always rescued him. Now, that luck is fading, and the cost could be his soul." In Hollow's Bend, a town shrouded in fog, Elias Thorne is a man who ought to have died a long time ago. A drunkard, a gambler, a fighter, he lives life as if the world itself is inclined to his advantage. No blade has ever touched him, no bullet has ever struck true, and no tumble has ever left him broken. Luck, devil's bargain, people call it these things, but everybody agrees on one thing. Elias Thorne is untouchable. Or at least, he was. Whispers circulate of an amulet concealed under his shirt, a dirty, unpretentious necklace that vibrates with something inhuman. A gift? A curse? An obligation? Elias never bothered to inquire. Not until now. When a band of ruthless outsiders comes to Hollow's Bend, searching for the fabled charm, Elias is drawn into a game of death where his luck is no longer his own. They know what he holds. They know what it can do. And they know the secret he has denied for years… Luck isn't cheap. It's borrowed. And all debts have to be paid. Fleeing from merciless hunters and something much worse, a faceless, nameless collector who stalks in the mist and speaks in enigmas, Elias finds an unexpected friend in Selene, a woman with dark eyes and darker secrets. She is the only one who knows the amulet. Because she used to wear it. And she paid the price. Selene insists that there is only one exit: pass the curse on to another. Someone has to take it willingly, embracing the destiny that goes with it. It's the only way Elias can be free. But Elias has lived his life fighting, surviving, running from the inevitable. Now, he has to make the most brutal bet of all: his soul for another's. With each step, the shadows lengthen. The amulet is transforming him. The whispers are growing louder. Time is running short. And the Collector is arriving.

Lucien was a man of detachment, an observer in a world he neither cared for nor sought to change. To him, life unfolded as it was meant to, a series of inconsequential events, none of which ever managed to spark his interest. His world was meticulously ordered, untouched by chaos, even when his father arrived home one day with a stranger in tow. The boy, Noah, introduced as Lucien’s cousin, was young, quiet, and entirely unremarkable. The boy’s sudden appearance raised more questions than answers, especially since no one had known of his existence until that moment. Lucien, true to his nature, dismissed the development as yet another insignificant twist in his father’s unpredictable whims. Until he found a peculiar book, one whose cryptic words seemed to draw a connection to the boy. Against his better judgment, he began to notice the boy’s every move, every glance, every hesitation. For the first time in his carefully controlled existence, Lucien’s mask faltered.

When the world stood on the brink of destruction, consumed by the might of an all-powerful darkness, humanity prayed for salvation. They wished for the light—never realizing that their desperate plea would bring a curse far worse than the darkness itself. Five hundred years ago, in its most desperate hour, the world summoned a group of legendary heroes from another realm. These warriors, blessed with extraordinary abilities, united under a single purpose: to vanquish the almighty Dark Lord. Through sheer determination, teamwork, and a stroke of fortune, they succeeded, delivering the world from its greatest nightmare. The kingdom rejoiced. The people celebrated their saviors with parades, songs, and endless praise. But victory had changed the heroes. Power, once a tool of salvation, had become an addiction. The taste of worship, the ease with which they could bend the world to their will—it was intoxicating. The heroes, who were meant to be symbols of hope, refused to leave. They crowned themselves rulers, shaping the world in their image. What was once light had become a deeper, more terrifying darkness.

Untouched by the legendary swordsmanship of his lineage, he's a disgrace to his family, a target for his siblings' scorn.

While a zealous Holy Kingdom intervenes, a far greater threat amasses in the Eastern Wastes: the Rubak raiders, united under a ruthless chieftain who wields the same dark power that corrupted Liam's rival. Forced into a desperate alliance with his estranged brother and a mysterious warrior tied to his dead mother's past, Liam must master his volatile magic and unlock the secrets of a dangerous artifact – the Umbral Core.

He'll learn that some secrets are best left buried, and that the price of power can be steeper than he ever imagined. Because in Drakonia, the only thing colder than the winter wind... is the magic that could save it, or consume it entirely.

Attending the Academy of the Arcane—a school for the supernatural elite to hone their power—I became a rebel, untouchable and unstoppable. My beauty became both a weapon and a curse, a mocking reminder of the life I’d lost. Among the whispers and wary stares, one figure cut through the chaos: Tharros, the Emperor of Shadows.

Days later, I awoke as his bride—bound to him by a marriage I never agreed to, shackled to his vengeance. Tharros’ darkness envelops me, threatening to consume everything I am. Now, I must unravel the secrets of his hatred, the truth about my parents’ murder, and the twisted memories he swears I’ve buried.
