Raden Kian Santang

Aurora Crestwood ist seit zehn Jahren in ihren besten Freund Liam verliebt. Zehn Jahre, in denen sie seine Schulter zum Ausweinen war, sein nächtlicher Anruf, seine emotionale Stütze durch jede Trennung. Zehn Jahre, in denen sie zusehen musste, wie er derselben toxischen Frau hinterherläuft, die immer wieder sein Herz bricht. Als Selena Beaumont ihre Verlobung mit jemand anderem bekannt gibt, denkt Aurora, sie sei endlich frei. Aber Liam hat andere Pläne. Er will die Hochzeit crashen, einen letzten verzweifelten Versuch starten, die Frau zurückzugewinnen, die ihn nie wirklich wollte. Und er möchte, dass Aurora ihm dabei hilft. Gegen ihr besseres Urteil stimmt sie zu. Was sie nicht erwartet, ist die Begegnung mit Kian Vance. Liams entfremdeter Bruder ist alles, was Liam nicht ist – gefährlich, direkt und völlig desinteressiert daran, Spielchen zu spielen. Er ist auch mit dem Bräutigam befreundet, was ihn zur größten Bedrohung für ihren Sabotageplan macht. Aber wenn Kian Aurora ansieht, sieht er nicht Liams zuverlässige beste Freundin. Er sieht eine Frau, die ihr wahres Ich viel zu lange versteckt hat. "Ich werde sie dir wegnehmen", sagt Kian seinem Bruder mit kalter Gewissheit. Als Kian eine Wette vorschlägt – wenn die Hochzeit auseinanderfällt, gehört Aurora ihm – sollte sie weggehen. Sie sollte sich darauf konzentrieren, Liam zu helfen, die Frau zu gewinnen, von der er besessen ist. Sie sollte dabei bleiben, das brave Mädchen zu sein, das sie immer war. Stattdessen schlägt sie ein in die Hand des Teufels selbst. Nun ist Aurora zwischen zwei Brüdern gefangen, einer Hochzeit, die vielleicht nicht stattfinden wird, und einem gefährlichen Mann, der direkt durch ihre sorgfältig errichteten Mauern hindurchsieht. Kian verspricht, ihr zu zeigen, was es bedeutet, wirklich begehrt zu werden, aber sein Interesse hat seinen Preis. Während das Hochzeitswochenende ins Chaos stürzt, muss Aurora entscheiden: Wird sie weiterhin auf Nummer sicher gehen oder wird sie endlich das Feuer annehmen, das sie versteckt hat?

"I, Alpha Kian Blackthorn, reject you, Aria Vale, as my mate and Luna." His words sliced through me like a blade.bI stood there, in front of the entire pack, dressed in the ceremonial gown my mother picked out waiting for the man the Moon Goddess had chosen for me to claim me as his mate. But instead… he humiliated me. I froze. For a heartbeat, I couldn’t breathe. My mother’s eyes locked with mine from the crowd, silently pleading with me to stay quiet, to not make a scene. But I couldn’t let him have the last word. "I, Aria Vale, accept your rejection, Alpha Kian." The words tasted like ash. The gasps from the crowd barely registered in my ears as I turned and walked away before anyone could stop me before anyone saw the test hidden inside my purse. The one I took that very morning. Positive. Two lines that changed everything. Banished from my pack, disgraced, and alone, I disappeared carrying more than just heartbreak with me. Nine months later, Alpha Kian finds me again.

And in his soul, not one, but two impossible Systems awaken: • The Architect Codex — a builder's power, made to shape, defend, and command civilization. • The Predation Protocol — a monster's hunger, made to kill, consume, and evolve. These systems were never meant to coexist — and the world knows it. Hunted by kingdoms, stalked by dungeon lords, and rejected by both sides of the conflict, Kian walks the Ashlands not as a hero or king — but as an anomaly. To survive, he'll have to carve his place using blueprints and blood, logic and savagery. He’ll build cities, tear down empires, and face creatures born from nightmares — all while slowly unraveling the truth of what shattered the world in the first place. He wasn’t chosen. But he’s building a future anyway. This time, he won’t let it fall.

Or the feeling of fleshy bone resisting the blade— But she's quick, desperately clamping her arms and legs around him to keep him in place— I stab. And stab repeatedly; blood splattering against my cheeks. And then I twist, and twist; twisting the blade in slowly.“ Evil sects and righteous sects. Demons and Monsters. Immortals and the damned. Traveling through a society of hypocricy, Ethan encounters others with strangely similar tales; kidnappings and horrific torture. And the experiments he can’t ever forget. A catastroph that ultimately changes him from a young boy into— Well, just what is he, after all? “There was blood on his hands; the red so red it stuck to his fingers like dye. He wiped and wiped but couldn't wipe that coppery paste away. The darkness. The metallic stink—“ And just what was Kian searching for? Why does he say it’s found? And why? Why do his eyes always, always go cold? What, exactly, is Kian? And why does Ethan find himself completely bound? “In that place of blood splatter and broken wings, he'll be sure to reap what he's owed.”

Kian Donovan stood outside the crumbling steel doors of her father's company, the one he had helped build from the ground up, soaked to the bone, fingers clenched around the betrayal letter in his hand. His heart was pounding like war drums. Talia signed it. That was what gutted him more than the millions lost, more than the empire crumbling beneath his feet. It was her name, elegant and precise at the bottom of the document that burned like acid in his palm. He'd trusted her. Touched her. Loved her, and she sold him out. Not with bullets. Not with blood. But with a signature that stripped him of everything. The last thing he saw before the security guards threw him out was her face behind the glass expression unreadable, mouth slightly parted, but her eyes her eyes betrayed something crueler than hate. Regret? Guilt? No. Worse. Indifference. He disappeared after that. No press. No lawsuits. No mercy. Kian Donovan didn't die that night. But the man who loved her did.

Status |Finished| This synopsis only covers the beginning of the novel; it represents just a small part of the full story. Xiandre Valkyrie, infamously known as the Smiling Reaper, was once the most wanted criminal in the world. After years of chaos, fame, and unparalleled glory, he grew bored of it all. Craving peace, he staged his own death—shooting himself in the head on Lilika’s Silver Bridge of Flinch, falling into the waters below, and vanishing from history. Unbeknownst to the world, he had adopted a new identity: Kian, an ordinary high school student. Four years later, while attending Ka-agahan Academy, a mysterious broadcast interrupted his class—a nuclear missile was heading directly toward the school. Death seemed certain. But just before impact, everything turned white. When Kian’s vision returned, he—and a select group of students from different academic classes—found themselves transported to a vast castle in another world. Their summoner: Princess Millie. Her claim: they had all died and been brought here to become Holy Soldiers, champions chosen to battle the eldritch god of profanity. Each student was evaluated—measured by the strength of their magical affinity and the elemental power they possessed in this new world. The main character, Xiandre, was granted the potent Element of Control, a power shared by his entire class. But when his individual tier was assessed, the results were shocking: Tier One—the lowest possible rank. Heavenly SYSTEM Level: 1 User: Xiandre Valkyrie Element: Controller Tier Level: 1 Stats: Strength: 1 Speed: 1 Defense: 1 Princess Millie, feigning grace, assured everyone that having a low tier was nothing to be ashamed of—"No one is perfect," she smiled. But Kian—Xiandre—sensed the truth. Princess Millie adored the strong and held no value for the weak. She and the goddess Fillia plotted to eliminate those deemed unworthy. When Xiandre’s power level was falsely assessed as one of the weakest, he was betrayed by his classmates who were easily manipulated by the genius and brilliancy of princess Millie he was cast aside. Along with other "weaklings," he was banished to the depths of hell. Yet Xiandre did not break. Instead, he smiled. "This is was more exciting than being the hero of the story."

"You were mine the moment you tried to understand me, Dimitri-every thought, every breath, bound to me. And no matter how hard you fight it; you'll always crave the darkness I pulled you into." The world watched in collective disbelief as the notorious serial killer, Thanatos, walked into a police station one cool September morning and surrendered. The infamous murderer, whose body count had surpassed a hundred, had brought nations to their knees with fear, causing parents to hold their children closer and cities to lock their doors at night. His sudden surrender was met with a mixture of shock and relief. Finally, the nightmare was over-or so the world thought. But the man known as Thanatos, Kian Orlov, did not speak a word following his arrest. His silence was deafening, leaving investigators grasping at straws and the media scrambling for answers. With no confession and no clues, the case threatened to crumble, a shadow of its former terror lingering just beneath the surface. The authorities were desperate, knowing that without answers, the fear could easily return. In a last-ditch effort to crack the case, they called upon the world's most renowned criminal psychologist, Dimitri Romano.

What is their love if not forbidden? In the shadows of obsession and sin, their bond is as dangerous as it is inescapable.
