Mount Tantiss

Return of the General's Daughter

This is the story of Lara—born in the modern world, raised for one purpose only: to kill the man responsible for destroying her family. Her childhood was forged in shadows and sharpened into a weapon. Lara was trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general whose face haunted every nightmare, the man who tore her world apart. But fate doesn’t follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body thrown like a ragdoll. Darkness. She woke in another world. Gone were the cold, concrete alleys of her past. In their place: ancient forests, bloodstained kingdoms, and a war-torn land unlike anything she’d ever known. Here, she wasn’t a trained assassin. Here, she was someone else entirely. Kidnapped by human traffickers, Lara used every ounce of her brutal training to escape. In the depths of that strange, dangerous world, she met a reclusive martial arts master—one whose power defied reason, whose teachings broke her and rebuilt her again. For two years, she vanished into the wilderness, learning to survive, to fight, to become more. But destiny wasn’t finished with her. In the jungle of Mount Ourea, she discovered a man left for dead—an ordinary soldier, or so he claimed. In truth, he was a Prince of Northem, wounded during a secret mission to hunt the ruthless bandits and rebels tearing the kingdom apart. Lara saved his life... and unknowingly stepped into the heart of a war. Disguised as a common soldier, she volunteered to deliver a vital message to Northem’s generals during a bloody campaign in the Alta-Sierra mountains. But on the battlefield, fate struck once again. There, standing among the chaos, swords drawn and fire in their eyes—was General Odin and his sons. And Lara froze. Because General Odin was the mirror image of the man she was raised to kill. Could he be the same man from another world? A descendant? Or something far more complex? Then came the revelation that shattered everything: General Odin wasn’t her enemy. He was her father. Not by circumstance, but by blood. Torn between the rage she was raised with and the truth unraveling before her eyes, Lara uncovered a sinister conspiracy—one that sought to brand Odin and his sons as traitors. The plot came from within: trusted generals, corrupt ministers, and even members of the royal court. Irony turned traitor to protector. Lara became the shield of the very family she once vowed to destroy. Her blade, once destined for Odin’s heart, now defended it. But just as she embraced her place beside her true family, the final betrayal was revealed. In her absence, her cousin Mira had stolen her identity. She had wormed her way into Lara’s old life, comforting her grieving mother, whispering lies, and claiming everything Lara left behind—including her betrothal to Prince Alaric. While the world celebrated Lara as a war hero, they didn’t know who she really was. Her name, her legacy, her very life—all stolen by the one who orchestrated her abduction. Now, with her identity buried beneath lies and betrayal, Lara must rise once more—not as a daughter of vengeance, but as a daughter of truth. She must reclaim her name. Protect her family. And finish the war that destiny began.

The Phoenix Clan was once unmatched in power, their blessings revered, and their connection to the mythical Phoenix feared across the world. But when the greed of four great empires united, the clan was destroyed, forcing its survivors to go into hiding. In a desperate act of sacrifice, the Phoenix itself gave up its life to protect its people, leaving its essence dormant in an unborn child, Luis. Raised in a quiet village, Luis knows nothing of his heritage or the incredible power hidden within him. As he trains to master his aura, mysterious signs begin to surface, hinting at the truth of his lineage. With enemies closing in, the pressure mounts for Luis to uncover the Phoenix's legacy and embrace the power he never asked for. Torn between protecting those he loves and fulfilling the destiny thrust upon him, Luis must decide: will he rise as the savior of his clan, or will he become another casualty of the empire's unrelenting greed? There are 2 main power systems, blessings and aura. Aura: can be progressed through training, every human is capable of growing their aura stronger. Blessings: are powers given by creatures that rely on aura to be used and controlled. Blessings can only be obtained through mutual consent between creatures and humans. They can be passed through generations, but their power diminishes over generations. What to expect There will be slow-paced chapters to build up characters with a mix of fast-paced action. This is my first novel so I am still learning, the change and improvement in my wirtting style will be noticeable as you go through the chapters.

Her world is shattered when Zyren, instead of killing her, claims her as his pet, dragging her away from her village into the heart of the central city.

Despite her hatred and longing for revenge, Aria’s body betrays her, and she finds herself caught between a dark desire and her desperate need for revenge. Excerpt: Aria’s breath hitched as Zyren’s fingers traced the line of her jaw, his touch colder than ice, yet searing her skin with the promise of more. She should resist, should fight back, but her body betrayed her—shivering, craving the pleasure she knew he could give. “You thought I’d kill you,” Zyren murmured, his voice a dark purr. “But instead, you’ll belong to me. Every part of you will be mine.” Her lips parted to speak, but the words caught in her throat. The memory of her family’s blood staining her hands made her stomach churn as she glared hatefully at him. “Tell me,” he growled, his hands moving lower, pressing against the softness of her skin, “do you still wish to die?” She clenched her fists, tears threatening to spill, but her body trembled under his touch. “I wish for nothing but to be free of you,” she spat, but even as the words left her lips, she felt the hunger in her—a hunger she hated but couldn’t deny as she stared into his red eyes. A need to PRESENT herself to him and have him mount her…body and soul.

What Delilah doesn't realize is that her "broke husband" is actually Hunter Quinn himself. Billionaire CEO, Hunter Quinn, having discovered Delilah’s intentions to con him, had decided to outplay her at her own game. Hunter agrees to the partnership, and together they plunge into a high-stakes game of deceit. As they plot and scheme, the lines between pretense and reality blur. Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated. Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

Scar Of The Soul: Génesis Chronicle

For centuries, the world has lived under the shelter of the Heavens and the guidance of the only god known to mankind: the Demiurge, sovereign of light, protector of the realms, and ruler of creation. According to scripture, countless ages ago, a great war erupted in the heavens, born of the arrogance of the most perfect angel, who in his vanity dared to challenge the divine order. As punishment, he was cast out along with his followers. It is said that as he fell, he dragged with him a powerful soul that shattered into seven pieces—unleashing an era of chaos, monstrosity, and darkness. This is the story everyone knows. And yet… something doesn’t add up. Far from the grand temples and palaces, in a village long forgotten by civilization, lives a family entrusted with protecting their people from the threats beyond. Among them, a young man with a foolish smile and erratic movements trains daily with sword and magic, hiding his strength behind a mask of clumsiness. No one suspects what truly lies dormant within him. His younger sister, even more innocent, begins to dream of things she shouldn’t know: symbols that do not exist, wars not written in any book, faceless angels, and words that do not belong to her… and yet, they call her by name. Meanwhile, the world turns. The churches preach the glory of the Demiurge. The guilds battle for power. And in the shadows, four riders mounted on omens prepare to move forward. But something in this cycle is about to change. Not because a hero will rise. Not because a prophecy has spoken. But because a girl— a single spark in the heart of the world— will begin to remember what was never meant to be remembered. And when faith is no longer comfort, and order reveals its true price, only the soul will remain— the final frontier between the end… and the truth.

After Marriage (GL)

AFTER MARRIAGE A story where opposites collide, a contract turns into connection, and love struggles to survive between memory and fate. Two strangers. Two different souls. Two entirely different countries. And one unexpected bond… that neither of them can escape. “After Marriage” is not your typical love story. It’s filled with comedy, drama, fights, raw emotions, hate, and eventually… a love so complex, even fate struggles to contain it. Meet Sita and Vedehi — two women, each battling the crushing weight of family expectations, personal heartbreaks, and the relentless search for someone who truly understands them. Sita is calm, reserved, and craves peace in a world that constantly demands too much from her. Vedehi, on the other hand, is a storm — loud, lively, unfiltered, and unapologetically chaotic. Where Sita loves order, Vedehi thrives in mess. Where Sita enjoys silence, Vedehi can’t eat without music blasting in the background. So how do two such polar opposites end up married? In a desperate bid to escape the mounting pressure from their families and the loneliness of being abroad, they both travel to England — hoping to find their perfect match. But what they find instead… is disappointment. Then, in a moment of impulse and mutual frustration, Vedehi proposes a contract: Two years. No feelings. Just marriage on paper — to silence the world around them. Sita agrees. But things were never going to be that simple. Sita’s heart still belongs to someone else — a girl she once loved deeply and is still searching for. Vedehi, despite the contract, starts falling for Sita — quietly, helplessly, and completely. She even helps Sita in her search, all the while hiding the ache of her own growing affection. And just when the truth begins to surface… Fate intervenes. A tragic accident. A forgotten memory. Sita wakes up — and remembers nothing. Not the contract. Not the marriage. Not Vedehi. Everything they built, everything they shared, vanishes in an instant. Now, Vedehi stands at the edge of heartbreak — holding onto memories that no longer exist in Sita’s mind. Will Sita ever remember her? Will she ever feel the love that Vedehi so silently, so selflessly gave? Or will this marriage remain just a forgotten contract, lost in the fog of time? "After Marriage" is a heart-touching story of two women bound by circumstance and separated by memory. It’s about fighting for love when love itself forgets you. About rebuilding what was once broken. And about discovering that sometimes… the real love story begins after “I do.”

The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign

Synopsis: The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign War. Betrayal. Power. And the will of one man to seize it all. Kael Ashmark was born without a name, an orphan of war found amidst the ashes of Ashmark Hold, a frontier keep left to rot by a fractured Empire. Raised by scavengers, he learned to survive by instinct, his hands honed for a blade long before he learned to read. At sixteen, after witnessing Imperial forces butcher innocent families while their garrison turned a blind eye, Kael made his first kill in retribution, swearing never again to kneel to a crown that failed its people. From the dying highlands of Gravenmarsh, Kael forged the **Iron Rebellion**. With raw conviction, he united outlaws, peasants, and deserters, first striking with brutal ambushes that earned him the whispered title of "Sovereign". His audacious capture of Duskwatch Fortress shattered Imperial complacency.

He unleashed a **scorched earth** campaign, turning fertile lands into barren ash, forcing his own loyal villagers into the harsh mountain holds of Ravencair. His Red Veil, led by the zealous and terrifying Seyda, became a haunting force, melting into shadows to stalk Imperial patrols and leave chilling messages of dread. Lady Virelle Velmire, a cunning noble with ambitions as cold as steel, joined his cause, skillfully poisoning Imperial supply lines with doubt and misinformation.

As the gargantuan Imperial Legions lumber north, plagued by hunger, sickness, and mounting paranoia, Kael’s defiance grinds them to a desperate crawl. He watches them succumb to the brutal choices he forces upon them, turning the very machine designed to crush him into a monstrous reflection of its own cruelty. But as the war intensifies, and his people endure untold suffering in the mountain holds, Kael must confront the one thing he never wanted: what comes after victory? Will he become the tyrant he fought against, or will he forge something new—an empire not born of bloodlines, but of belief? *The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign* is a raw, uncompromising tale of brutal strategy, shifting power, and the profound cost of defiance in a world ruled by bloodlines and betrayal. Discover one man’s relentless ascent from nothing, until the kingdoms whispered his name in fear.

Trains packed with massacred refugees crisscross Punjab, while in Lahore, **Jawaharlal Nehru** and **Muhammad Ali Jinnah** duel over Kashmir’s fate. When tribal raiders storm Srinagar, the Hindu Maharaja signs away his kingdom to India in exchange for salvation. But Pakistan strikes back—capturing Skardu Fort in a brutal siege and igniting the first war over the Himalayas. Amidst the chaos, a young Sikh farmer, **Kartar Singh**, loses his family to a Muslim mob and joins the Indian Army, vowing revenge. As the UN draws ceasefire lines, Kashmir lies divided, and the seeds of eternal hatred are sown.

In the skies, PAF legend **MM Alam** destroys five Indian jets in 30 seconds—an unmatched feat—while **Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Rafiqui** leads a suicidal raid on Halwara airbase. With guns jammed, Rafiqui stays airborne as a decoy so wingmen **Cecil Chaudhry** and **Younus Hussain** can escape, sacrificing himself to Indian flak. On the ground, **Major Raja Aziz Bhatti** defends Lahore’s BRB Canal for 120 hours without sleep, falling to a sniper’s bullet. As tanks burn at Chawinda and navies clash off Dwarka, both nations claim victory—but the Tashkent Agreement leaves Kashmir still bleeding.

In the skies, trainee pilot **Rashid Minhas** thwarts a hijack by Bengali defector Matiur Rahman, crashing his T-33 rather than let it reach India—earning Pakistan’s only air force Nishan-e-Haider. On the western front, 120 Indian soldiers hold off 3,000 Pakistanis at Longewala using jeep-mounted guns. When Dhaka falls, 93,000 Pakistani POWs surrender—humiliating a nation and birthing Bangladesh. PART IV: FROZEN CONFLICTS (1984–1999) In the icy hell of Siachen Glacier, India seizes the world’s highest battlefield by stealth. Soldiers freeze solid in their bunkers as Pakistan fuels insurgency in Kashmir. After Indira Gandhi is assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards and her son Rajiv falls to a Tamil bomb, nuclear tests in 1998 push the rivals to the brink. Then, in 1999, Pakistan infiltrates troops disguised as militants into Kargil’s peaks. **Captain Karnal Sher Khan**, the “Tiger of Tiger Hill,” decimates Indian assaults until an artillery shell tears him apart. **Lalak Jan**, a Pakistani soldier, fights alone for 24 hours with a machine gun, killing 12 Gurkhas before succumbing. When India storms Tiger Hill at point-blank range and the U.S. forces Pakistan’s retreat, soldiers are abandoned on the mountains—their bodies rotting in no-man’s-land. As General Musharraf seizes power in Islamabad, the war ends unresolved, leaving behind frozen graves and a question: *Will the next war go nuclear?*
