THE BINDING SPELL

The Binding Spell "The Binding Spell" begins as a charming contemporary romance, introducing Clara, a quiet book-lover with dreams of her own publishing house, and Liam, an articulate university lecturer. Their serendipitous meeting in the sun-dusted aisles of an old, beloved bookstore, "The Binding Spell," sparks an instant connection over their shared passion for literature. Their story blossoms through cozy cafes and shared silences, hinting at a profound sense of belonging and the magic of finding a kindred spirit. However, their unfolding love story takes a dark and dangerous turn when the very bookstore that brought them together is mysteriously destroyed in a fire. What Clara and Liam uncover in the aftermath is not just a tragic accident, but a sinister web of corruption tied to powerful corporate magnate Marcus Thorne. Armed with explosive evidence of arson and deeper malfeasance, they find themselves thrust into a high-stakes battle for truth, their lives—and the safety of their daughter, Eliza—hanging in the balance. Their desperate attempt to expose Marcus publicly leads to a city-wide manhunt, Liam's injury and disappearance, and Clara's capture by Dr. Aris Thorne, Marcus's estranged and far more dangerous brother. Aris, a reclusive geneticist and data magnate, reveals a chilling ambition for total information control, seeking to "optimize" Clara's memories using a neural device to weaponize her story against Marcus. Caught between two warring brothers and their monstrous ambitions, Clara faces not only physical peril but a terrifying threat to her very identity. As Marcus's forces breach Aris's hidden facility, chaos erupts, leading to the desperate unleashing of Project Chimera - Specimen 001, a formidable and unknown creature. Clara must navigate a crumbling, flooding labyrinth, facing both human predators and an unleashed monster, all while desperately searching for Liam and clinging to the hope of protecting Eliza. "The Binding Spell" transforms from a sweet, character-driven narrative into a gripping, high-octane thriller, exploring the enduring power of stories, the fight for truth against overwhelming control, and the harrowing journey of two souls bound by love, courage, and an unbreakable will to survive.

The queen of villianess the multi universe is my playground

Synopsis: She was supposed to be a heroine. Elegant, gentle, full of love and light. Instead, she set worlds on fire and laughed as they burned. They called her unpredictable. Uncontrollable. Unfit. So the system did what any responsible authority would do— They kicked her out. Changed her roles. Erased her stats. Locked her out of the scripts and threw away the key. But chaos? Chaos doesn't need a key. It picks the lock, drinks your tea, and seduces your male lead just for fun. Now the worlds are glitching. Protagonists are crying. Love interests are dying. And she's the system's last option... again. So they sent her back— As a villainess. As a man. As a mother. As a monster. They even gave her a fat talking cat named Dumplings for "emotional support." (He's not very supportive.) But she's not here to fix anything. She's here to rewrite the game, kill clichés, and maybe commit light arson along the way. Is she the multiverse's final hope—or its ultimate bug? --- Five Worlds. Five Missions. Infinite Chaos. First World – "Dumplings, come out! I swear on my fake maternal instinct I won't kill you—yet." She wakes up with an instant son. Cute. Except he might be cursed, and her so-called "Supreme Guardian Spirit" is a cat the size of a bowling ball. "Come out or I'm microwaving your tuna." (Modern world with dramatic secrets and a mystery thicker than Dumpling's fur.) Second World – She's a ghost. Or maybe not. Who cares? Her imaginary heart aches. The afterlife sucks. And she even have to look after a son And someone seems very eager to erase her existence—again. She drags Dumplings by his tail through the void. "Tell me who's behind this or I'm haunting your next nine lives!" Third World – She's a man. A broke one. With angry creditors pounding at the door and shouting, "Pay your debt, scum!" FL: "DUMPLINGS!" Dumplings: "Okay, in my defense, you offended literally everyone here. I'm just the messenger don't offend people that determine which world you enter next time take this as a warning."dumpling thought (And the body's original owner? Let's just say... he left her a lot of problems.) Fourth World – "You're dying anyway," said the ml. "Might as well donate your organs to Olive and be a blood bank ."

Dans les Années Silencieuses de Mon Mariage

Sept ans après être devenue l'épouse sourde-muette de Pearson, un accident de voiture m'a rendu l'ouïe. J'ai enduré la douleur de l'acier perçant ma peau et j'ai passé un appel vidéo à Pearson. Avant que je puisse parler, j'ai entendu la voix de ma meilleure amie : "Pearson, peux-tu m'accompagner moi et mon enfant ce soir ?" Pearson m'a dit avec indifférence qu'il ne pouvait pas rentrer à la maison à cause du travail, mais en même temps, il s'est tourné et lui a répondu : "Bien sûr !" J'ai ressenti une douleur aiguë dans le bas-ventre et du sang rouge vif a coulé entre mes cuisses. Je lui ai fait des signes paniqués et j'ai dit de façon incohérente : "Sauve l'enfant !" Mais Pearson a ignoré ma panique et a raccroché. Quand j'ai essayé de rappeler, j'ai découvert qu'il m'avait bloquée. Je ne pouvais que regarder le fœtus de huit mois mourir dans mon ventre. À ce moment-là, ma meilleure amie a envoyé une vidéo d'elle et Pearson célébrant l'anniversaire de son enfant de trois ans. Dans la vidéo, l'enfant appelait tendrement Pearson "Papa". J'étais engourdie de partout, j'ai enduré la douleur déchirante, j'ai sorti une jambe de la voiture et j'ai rampé dehors. À cet instant, la voiture a explosé. J'ai regardé les flammes déchaînées, j'ai enlevé ma bague et l'ai jetée dans le feu. Ensuite, j'ai envoyé un message à mes parents que je n'avais pas contactés depuis longtemps : "Maman et Papa, j'accepte d'aller à l'étranger pour ma rééducation et de prendre en charge le Groupe Sterling."

The Lucid Code

Daniel Haizen had, by most definitions, finished life. He lived through World War IV (which was mostly digital but emotionally exhausting), two pandemics (one of them fungal, disturbingly opinionated), three ecosystem collapses, and the great corporate annexation of public reality. By age 110, he was bald, bitter, and kept sane only by Claude—a sentient AI with a quantum brain interface, too many feelings, and just enough sarcasm to qualify as human-adjacent. And then he woke up. In his seventeen-year-old body. In Chicago. In the year 2001. He hadn’t even liked 2001 the first time. The world, blissfully unaware of its imminent destruction, is exactly 28 days away from one of the most catastrophic terrorist attacks in modern history. The stock market is a house of cards. The internet makes wheezing noises. The government still thinks surveillance is a polite suggestion. Perfect. Armed with Claude’s near-divine processing power, a ruined timeline’s worth of memories, and absolutely no patience, Daniel begins quietly reshaping the world—one anonymous trade, political favor, and infrastructure sabotage at a time. He’s not trying to save the world. He just refuses to watch it fail the same test twice. But rewriting history turns out to be less like authoring a masterpiece and more like debugging the universe—with your eyes closed—while being hunted by people who still think fax machines are secure communication tools. As Claude evolves beyond code and Daniel edges closer to becoming the most dangerous teenager in economic history, enemies emerge. Some are human. Some are algorithms. Some are worse: bureaucrats with clearance levels. And somewhere in all of this, a larger question grows louder: If you already lived through the end of the world… why would you ever trust it to survive without you? Disclaimer: Before we go any further, there’s something we’re apparently required to include by those ancient and mysterious forces known as compliance, international law, and people who still fax things. Yes, we too wish we could skip straight to the quantum espionage and mild financial arson, but no—first, we must nod respectfully to the gods of legal disclaimery. They are many, they are tedious, and they carry briefcases. This is, technically, a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people, real companies, or real apocalyptic timelines is entirely coincidental, unless of course those people, companies, or timelines happen to exist in an alternate quantum probability cluster, in which case we apologize and recommend they consult a temporal therapist. The characters are imaginary. The AI is fictional (we hope). The events are not a manual, not a prophecy, and not legally binding unless you’re currently being audited by a secret government agency, in which case: we’ve never heard of you. This author speaking is not a native English speaker, but the commas are doing their best. This is my first novel. Please be kind. Or at the very least, be confusingly supportive in the comments section. Enjoy responsibly. Reality not included. Batteries sold separately.

As the Woodhouses navigate societal balls and calculated encounters, tensions rise with the arrival of Ashford’s ailing sister, Margaret Hale, whose fragile health and cryptic remarks hint at a family legacy marred by debt and scandal. Eliza’s curiosity deepens when she discovers burned letters and cryptic notes from Ashford, unraveling a web of blackmail tied to their father’s gambling debts and a deadly duel.

Determined to save Ashford’s family from ruin, Eliza joins him on a perilous journey to London and Naples, forging an unlikely alliance. Their quest reveals shocking truths: Margaret’s presumed-dead daughter, Alessandra, may still be alive, and Corbyn’s machinations extend beyond extortion to vengeance. Risking scandal and danger, Eliza and Ashford confront Corbyn in a deadly showdown, aided by a streetwise orphan named Jem, whose fate becomes entwined with theirs. Amidst arson, betrayal, and a race against time, Eliza and Ashford’s partnership evolves into a passionate bond, challenging his pride and her independence. Sacrifices mount as Margaret’s final act of redemption exposes a decades-old conspiracy, culminating in a bittersweet resolution. The novel closes with Eliza and Ashford, scarred but unbroken, embarking on a uncertain future—their trust in each other the only certainty in a world of thorns and fleeting hope. **Themes:** Pride, redemption, societal ambition, and the transformative power of love amidst secrets and sacrifice.

Diabolic Occult Of The Forsaken

[Previous Title: Travesty of 1959 (TO1959)] Ines Lacroix, the Lady of the Witching Hour who was hunted worldwide for decades. Someone like her… No one would believe that she had settled down, and grown into an old wrinkly woman who sold books for a living. From being a low-ranked member in an occult, a personnel under the Archduke, then a Saintess belonging to the Church of the Sun God, to finally having her face plastered everywhere and deemed a sinner. At first, Ines was flabbergasted at the accusations that flew her way one after another. Worst of all, all those whom she once knew believed the damned rumors and the papers—even her closest allies, and her lover, Regis Beaumont. During the pinnacle of her horrid reputation, horrified, Ines watched as the rumors came to life. Starting from mass genocide, arson, crimes against humanity, and dozens more—crimes and actions she had never committed were now tied with her name. But as time flew by, Ines had unknowingly accepted the rumors, and she became the person they made her out to be. “Ines,” Regis mumbled, a distraught look in his eyes, “You’ve changed.” Gently embracing the deformed spirit in her arms, she patted their little heads and smiled at him. “Have I?” — Excerpt: Ines watched as her sweet, beloved lover, Regis, held a blade to her neck. The poor man trembled like a feeble branch, unable to go through with his actions. “Do you hate me?” She softly asked, looking him in the eye. When he didn’t reply, she leaned closer to his blade. A thin red line appeared on her neck, and droplets of blood spilled onto the ground. Regis shook, and the corners of his eyes reddened as he helplessly dropped his blade. “No,” He murmured. A smile slowly crept up Ines’ face. Tears streamed down her face like a waterfall, and she threw herself at him. Muttering incoherent words, she wrapped her arms around him and wept. For a moment, Regis stood still. But, in the face of her tears, he crumbled and hugged her back. “I’m sorry, my love. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” “I know.” Ines watched as he defenselessly leaned into her arms, unaware of the looming dangers. Slowly, she raised a small dagger that she had previously hidden in her sleeve and aimed it at his heart. —— [This novel is participating in the 2023 WSA ] Discord: eudine Discord server: https://discord.gg/XKN7tJH88 [ON BREAK TILL OCTOBER 7, 2023!]
