Our Dark Duet

In Northwind Reach, a land of many species, everyone hides a monster within—some just wear it closer to the surface. Julian Corbin, the vampiric ruler, believes his kind is supreme above all, blind to the growing threat from the south. The giants of Frostvein, their own land overpopulated, march to claim Northwind as their own. Yet Julian, obsessed with power, blatantly ignores the danger, surrounded by advisors who feed his delusions. Fiercely opposing him is Marissa Fairmont, a werewolf and champion of the oppressed, who fights tyranny with both bravery and cunning. But her methods are not always noble, not stopping at anything, not even moral grounds to take down Julian. Amidst the chaos stands Michael Pyre, a shifter who has never shifted, deemed human in a world of monsters. After witnessing his own kin betray and slaughter an entire village, including his ex-fiancée, just to gain favor with Julian, he realizes the true monsters aren’t the ones with fangs or claws—they’re the ones who hide their cruelty behind words and lies. His courage to call out hypocrisy makes him a target—and a potential savior. When Michael realizes he could actually make a change, after a mysterious encounter with a scout giant, he finds an unexpected ally, Marissa. Their shared defiance sparks a fierce romance, but their differing ideals threaten to tear them apart. Marissa’s thirst for vengeance blinds her to the greater threat, while Michael’s desire for unity forces him to make impossible choices. Together, they must confront not only Julian’s oppression but also the monsters within themselves, as the giants of Frostvein close in, ready to devour their fractured world.

In a lifeless world, where beings are called alive yet endlessly consumed, there is no escape without hope. Amidst it all, two brothers, Leo and Sai, dream of change. But will they succeed, or will they become nothing more than a cautionary tale?

Our Secret, Our Sin Haruto’s life was supposed to be simple—just another forgettable high school student with a quiet past.

And now, his biggest temptation. Forced to suppress their growing feelings, Haruto and Himari struggle to keep their relationship normal. But when a single mistake puts them in the crosshairs of Ryosuke, Haruto’s so-called "friend," their fragile secret is threatened. Ryosuke holds a photo—a single moment captured in time that could destroy everything. But Ryosuke doesn’t know who Haruto really is. Because Haruto has a past. A past so dark that if anyone uncovered it, his entire world would crumble. As love and danger intertwine, Haruto must fight against the sins of his past, the desires of his present, and the uncertain future that looms ahead. How far will he go to protect the one person he can’t live without? And when the truth is revealed… will love be enough to survive? ---

I never expected my life to change so drastically. One moment, I was a woman with dreams, deeply in love with a man I thought I’d spend my life with. The next, I was betrayed and heartbroken, walking in on him cheating without a hint of remorse. That night, overwhelmed with pain and too much alcohol, I made a reckless decision, a one-night stand with a stranger who, to my shock, turned out to be my new boss. Arec, the vice president of Denco Groups, was desperate. To secure his future as CEO, he needed a wife, and in a twist of fate, he offered me a contract marriage. It sounded absurd, but his desperation mirrored my own need to escape the wreckage of my life. It was supposed to be simple: no emotions, no strings attached. A business arrangement, nothing more. I thought I could handle it, that I could keep my heart out of it. I was wrong. What started as a deal quickly spiraled into something far more complicated. As our fake marriage blurred into real feelings, the world around us began to close in. Disapproving family, old enemies, buried secrets, scheming rivals, and even an attempt on my life threatened to tear us apart. This is my story, a journey of heartbreak, unexpected love, and a fight to protect what we built together. In a world filled with lies and deceit, can a marriage born out of necessity become something real? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes. Join my Discord server: https://discord.gg/NJJKETf4

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. Shakespeare – [The Tempest] VOLUME 1 Status: Completed (260 chapters) As a form of punishment for mistakenly killing an innocent civilian, Song Zhuyu, a priest and part-time exorcist, found himself exiled to the distant shores of Shenci Island, hundreds of miles away from his hometown and the only city he had ever known his whole life. However, unbeknownst to anyone, he harbored a secret agenda— to hunt down the culprit who had turned his life upside down. Fully prepared for meeting danger at every turn, what he encountered instead was a beautiful, serene island, albeit with two strange ironclad rules: First, do not climb the hill after 1 AM. Second, do not interact with Rui Ye. On the first night of his stay, Song Zhuyu broke two of the taboos, only to discover that the infamous Rui Ye was nothing like he had expected. “I am cursed,” the blind, beautiful man told him with a wistful smile. “If you associate yourself with me, the curse will haunt you too.” In response, Song Zhuyu’s lips hooked into a careless smile, “I don’t think you have to worry about that. I, myself, am cursed as well. What’s the big deal about adding another one?” But as inexplicable deaths began to plague the island, Song Zhuyu realized that the island, including the helpless and soft-hearted Rui Ye he had come to know, held a far darker secret than he could've ever imagined. In a race against time, he must navigate the treacherous waters of deceit and betrayal to unravel the island’s sinister truth and achieve his goal before it's too late. *** Pretty, flirtatious yet heartless priest gong x blind, mysterious and cursed shou VOLUME 2 Status: To be written How does it feel to love a fallen angel?

Nobody knows where they came from. Their whereabouts have even less in the way of answers and theories. Answers, and Theories. That's all they are. All they want you to know. We all believed the last of the druids went out with the last purge our queen did. Something she does to cleanse the land of magic. In her words, only she could possess it. But the druids didn't go out. Not when the vines swirl around the royal guard, thorns pricking the skin deep enough to bleed. Pirates. Pirates are a threat. The land isn't safe, but neither are the seas. Not with their self appointed queen, Lull. Not with sea monsters at her beck and call. A demigod rising to divinity, her way paved with the blood of thousands. For weeks, the rivers ran red, the valley grass stained copper-crimson. And now, the kindly queen Divina has gone mad. The woods are as dark as her soul. Watch your back.

In "Our Endings," I tell a story of a really intense friendship that ended up breaking my heart and teaching me a lot about myself. This book is all about the ups and downs of loving someone who doesn’t really love you back the same way and I’ve come to realize how unhealthy it was. I wrote about how I gave everything I had—my heart, my soul, and all my loyalty—to this person, but they just took it all without really caring about me. It was super hard realizing that the person I thought was my best friend didn’t value me the way I valued them. Each chapter talks about different feelings I went through: being anxious about things I couldn’t say, desperately wanting them to notice me, and the sadness of knowing my love and efforts were ignored as well as other things. "Our Endings" isn’t just about being heartbroken; it’s also about how the person I loved and pretty much idolized; their true intentions slowly revealed itself to me. Which lead me to finding the strength to let go of someone who was hurting me. It shows how hard it is to move on but also that it’s possible to find new beginnings and realize my own worth again. As well as me growing in my faith in Jesus Christ and encouraging people to follow him!This is my first book that I’m thinking of publishing so this isn’t out yet.
