The Black Chapel

The Black Chapel – Series Synopsis “Some confessions were never meant to be heard.” When a young church archivist, Maria Vescari, uncovers a decades-old pattern of suspicious priest deaths tied to an unregistered rural chapel, she stumbles into a hidden system of power, silence, and murder operating within the Catholic Church. This chapel — known unofficially as The Black Chapel — has no parishioners, no paper trail, and no official clergy. Yet for over fifty years, priests have been assigned to it. Most are dead within months — all listed as natural causes, their bodies cremated swiftly, their files sealed. As Maria investigates further, she discovers the existence of a secret faction within the Vatican known as “The Thirteenth Sacrament” — an internal tribunal operating above the law of Church and state, tasked with punishing clergy guilty of crimes too dangerous or politically costly to prosecute publicly. But the punishment isn't exile or defrocking. It's execution, masked as divine fate. Working alongside a disgraced ex-priest turned detective, Liam Renner, Maria uncovers a sprawling conspiracy that stretches back to post-World War II Europe, where the Church quietly absorbed fugitive war criminals into its own ranks. The chapel was built atop these sins — a place of hidden justice… and now, of endless cover-up. Across twenty seasons, the investigation spans generations, involving whistleblowers, Vatican insiders, forensic experts, rogue priests, innocent victims, and political powerbrokers. As more bodies are unearthed, the mystery expands to include: Illegal sanctuaries for war criminals Secret rituals used to determine clergy fate A coded system for selecting execution targets A Vatican ledger that names every sanctioned death And a final prophecy written in the chapel itself By the final seasons, the Black Chapel is no longer just a location — it’s revealed to be part of a long-standing doctrine buried deep within forbidden Church texts: a ritual sacrament meant to “burn sin into silence.” The series culminates in Maria confronting the current Pope himself, only to learn the final, shattering truth: the last name in the execution ledger… is hers.

Bite Me Till Dawn

“Love me like you want to watch me bleed.” When Elara Voss trespasses into the Thornes’ forbidden forest to save her dying sister, she expects venomous thorns—not a bloodied tyrant chained to a sacrificial altar. Kael Thorne, ruler of the nocturnal Lycan syndicate, wears his patricidal scars like trophies and craves her blood to quiet the silver shrapnel devouring his heart. He gifts her a steel-boned corset laced with silver spikes, yet burns his fur shielding her from flames. He forces mandrake wine down her throat at feasts, but trembles dressing the wounds he carved into her flesh. He smirks as she finds abortion pills hidden in her breakfast tray, yet carves an ice cradle for the “monster” growing in her womb. “You smell like absolution,” he growls, fangs glinting against her torn dress, molten-gold eyes reflecting the wedding band forged from his own bones. “Too bad I sold my soul long before you.” But when Argent Order’s missiles shatter the cathedral glass, Elara discovers the crescent scar on her collarbone perfectly matches the autopsy report of Kael’s deceased sister—whose funeral portrait hangs in his bloodstained gallery. As flames engulf the altar, she drives a dagger into his crystallizing heart, only to hear their bonded bone rings wail in unison. The truth crashes louder than the crumbling chapel: Their fatal bond began the night he dragged her from a fire two decades ago. Now, under a bleeding moon, Kael slams her blade deeper into his chest, crystalline shards spraying like shattered stars: “Feel it, darling… …how this heart that beats for you is slowly turning into the blade that will slit your throat.” WARNING: Contains morally bankrupt aristocrats, mutually assured destruction masquerading as romance, and enough gothic depravity to make Dracula blush. When the blood pact ignites, will you root for the knife—or the throats it dances between?

Deceived by the Veil

Althea stood at the doorway of the bridal suite, her heart heavy with a weight she couldn't shake. The dress lay on the bed, pristine and untouched, a cruel reminder of everything she had lost. It wasn't supposed to be her walking down the aisle, pledging herself to a man she barely knew. But here she was, forced to step into her sister's place. Her sister's choice to leave had devastated her. She had rejected a life that demanded sacrifice and duty, choosing freedom over family. And Althea, for all her anger and confusion, was left with no choice but to save the family's reputation. She had to wear the dress, say the vows, and marry a man she didn't love. Her fingers trembled as she adjusted the veil, staring at her reflection. She looked perfect-beautiful, poised-but she didn't feel that way. She felt like a shadow, a replacement for the woman who should've been here. The weight of the gown suffocated her as she prepared to step into a life that wasn't hers to claim. She wasn't ready for this. She wasn't ready to marry him. But with every step she took toward the chapel, the reality set in. There was no turning back. And there, at the altar, stood Elijah. His eyes locked on hers as she approached, his gaze intense, unreadable. A faint smile curved his lips, one she couldn't quite decipher, but there was something in it that made her blood run cold. Satisfaction. He looked at her as if she were an object, something to be claimed. With each step, his smile deepened, pleased with what was walking toward him. He wasn't looking at her as a woman to be loved. He was looking at her as a prize, something that had finally fallen into his grasp. Althea's throat tightened. She couldn't turn back now, not with everyone watching. As she reached the altar, she realized the vows she was about to speak weren't hers to make. They had been written for her sister, and now she would speak them, to a man who had claimed her sister's life and was now claiming hers by default.

The curse of the Queen de Chandor

"The people of Cavorim, Chandor were happy and prosperous, when suddenly one night the city was invaded by the enemy who murdered the King and many of the inhabitants. The princesses and the ladies of the Court destroyed their jewels and committed suicide by drowning themselves into the river, which, it is popularly believed, still leaves gold powder on the shore. The tradition associated with the Fort is that the Queen who was absent in some other part of the Kingdom, visited the city one day, but found it in desolation and was given the sad news of her husband' demise. As a sign of her grief she removed her jewels, crushed them and threw them all over the place, and cursed the women of Chandor, wishing them all to be like herself. She came out of the fortress and, stamping her feet four times, said she would not take away any thing, not even the dust of her feet from the city..". The stone bearing the anklet-prints is located near the Chapel of St. Joaquim,the curse of the 'Stone', is still dreaded by the villagers of Chandor, as it is believed to be striking a particular caste of Chandor. It has not affected the population of other castes in this village. The fear of the curse goes to such an extent that it is understood that several landlords of this caste have taken up residences in Margao or elsewhere and their palatial houses are deserted. The curse of the Queen, as taken from one of the old residents of Chandor and transmitted through generations by word of mouth, is believed to be worded."
