Als sie sich plötzlich in einer ländlichen Umgebung wiederfand, wurde Lin Caisang der berühmte "Stern des Reichtums und der Ehre" des Dorfes. Umgeben von einzigartigen Verwandten, behandelten sie sie wie einen seltenen Panda - sie hielten sie kostbar in ihren Händen, aus Angst, sie könnte herunterfallen, und behutsam in ihren Mündern, damit sie sich nicht auflöste. Darf ich vorstellen: die außergewöhnlichen Verwandten: Der Powerhouse-Vater, der erklärte: "Ihr wollt, dass Sangsang heiratet? Da müsst ihr erst an mir vorbei." Die geizige Mutter, die sich fragte: "Wozu braucht sie einen Ehemann? Sie kann all das gute Essen und ein sorgloses Leben mit mir haben!" Der schlaue Großvater, der vorschlägt: "Mädchen sollten nicht die schmutzige, anstrengende Arbeit machen müssen. Schnell, ruf deinen Bruder herbei!" Die majestätische Großmutter verkündet grimmig: "Wer wagt es, Sangsang zu schikanieren? Er soll sich einem Kampf auf Leben und Tod mit mir stellen!" Der schützende Bruder versicherte: "Kleine Schwester, das ganze gute Essen ist für dich. Ich bin nicht hungrig!" Lin Caisang hielt sich ihr schlaffes Fleisch und weinte ohne Tränen: "Lass mich gehen! Ich muss abnehmen!" Währenddessen beschützte und verwöhnte der auffallend gut aussehende, eiskalte Mann von nebenan sie nicht nur im Geheimen, sondern hatte auch eine nicht ganz einfache Identität.....

The Ashwood Hotel is no ordinary abandoned place. It is a living tomb. In 1930, a mysterious fire claimed the lives of 23 people within its opulent halls—including a girl whose body was never found. Since then, the walls have whispered with silenced screams, ash rains from the ceiling, and anyone who enters the hotel becomes part of its eerie legend. When four young urban explorers venture into the decaying building, they have no idea that they are not only facing ghosts but the hotel itself. Sven, the anxious one with a knack for seeing the invisible. Natalia, the diva who feels her facade of sarcasm and lipstick beginning to crack. Jacob, the tough guy whose cool demeanor dissolves into smoke. And Lucas, the idealist who realizes too late that some spirits don’t want to be photographed. But the Ashwood is hungry. Its corridors shift, its victims return as shadows, and the stench of smoke becomes a choking reality. When the group realizes they haven’t ended up here by chance—that the hotel has called them—a race against an unrelenting past begins. But how do you fight walls that breathe? And what happens when the spirit hunting you... is your own reflection?

Das Ashwood Hotel ist kein gewöhnlicher Lost Place. Es ist ein lebendiges Grab. 1930 starben bei einem mysteriösen Brand 23 Menschen in seinen prunkvollen Hallen - darunter ein Mädchen, das nie gefunden wurde. Seitdem flüstern die Wände von verstummten Schreien, Asche regnet von der Decke, und wer das Hotel betritt, wird Teil seiner unheimlichen Legende. Als vier junge Urban Explorer das verfallene Gebäude erkunden, ahnen sie nicht, dass sie nicht nur Geistern, sondern dem Hotel selbst gegenüberstehen. Sven, der Ängstliche mit dem Blick für das Unsichtbare. Natalia, die Diva, die ihre Fassade aus Sarkasmus und Lippenstift bröckeln spürt. Jacob, der Tough Guy, dessen Coolness in Rauch zergeht. Und Lucas, der Idealist, der zu spät merkt, dass einige Geister nicht fotografiert werden wollen. Doch das Ashwood hungert. Seine Flure verändern sich, seine Opfer kehren als Schatten zurück, und der Gestank von Rauch wird zum Würgen real. Als die Gruppe erkennt, dass sie nicht zufällig hier ist - dass das Hotel sie gerufen hat -, beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen eine unerbittliche Vergangenheit. Doch wie kämpft man gegen Mauern, die atmen? Und was passiert, wenn der Geist, der dich jagt... dein eigenes Spiegelbild ist?

Crown Prince Ian Stromridge has just returned from battle, hailed as a hero, greeted with people's adoration and blessings but he brings home a beautiful woman, though he's already married leaving everybody completed nonplussed. His wife, Princess Angelica Stromridge wed him for convenience before he left for war. Their marriage lacked affection and was rife with misunderstandings from the start. From name-calling to accidental letters leading to further misconception. During his absence, Angelica played the dutiful wife, sacrificing to maintain the household, being the lovely princess and wonderful daughter in law, only to face his return with another woman whom the entire kingdom agreed was more beautiful than she was! Will she divorce or fight for his love, a love that clearly never existed in the first place? Will she clear the misunderstandings and surmount the obstacles or will it be a post-marriage love story or an ex-wife tale full of regret? Excerpt |||| "My princess..." called a maid, knocking on the door her hand trembling. "Come in." replied Angelica as the door opened hearing footsteps approaching. "What are you doing here? I gave stern orders for no one to disturb me for the entirety of the day." her austere voice rang out. "I... I know my princess... please forgive me... I... I did not mean to disturb you but... this is something very important." "Let's have it then." replied Angelica closing the book she had been reading as she laid eyes on the maid. The maid gulped, the fear evident in her eyes, she did not know how Angelica would react to the severely bad news she had brought with her, however, one thing was sure, Angelica would not react lightly at all. "My... m...y prince...ss the..." said the maid, causing Angelica to sigh in annoyance, rolling her eyes, she had better things to do than sit here listening to the maid's mumbling. "Yes, say it." said Angelica giving the maid a hand. "My princess, the crowned prince has returned." said the maid. "Oh... well that's nice... I guess I will see him later, or better yet tomorrow. There is no rush, I am sure he is swarmed by crowds at the moment." replied Angelica lazily, she really had no intention of moving from this spot. "But my princess... ther— " "Oh, you're right, it would be unacceptable if I did not come out to greet him, rumours would certainly ensue and the kingdom would be in serious hysteria as they always are." replied Angelica annoyed. "Yes, you are right, I should go and welcome him back home." said Angelica as she stood up and yawned. "My princess... that is not all, there is something else..." said the maid. "And what is that?" asked Angelica as the maid's eyes darted around the room, she did not know what to do, or how best to put this. "My princess... the... the crowned prince has truly returned but..." said the maid with a prolonged pause. "But what?" asked Angelica, her senses tingling, she had a inking that there was something wrong from the maid's strange behaviour. "But his highness..." paused the maid. "Out with it now!" said Angelica sternly. "His highness has returned with a strange woman and the rumours claim that she is his new wife!" spat out the maid as Angelica suddenly felt lightheaded and she fell back down on the chair. "My princess!" cried the maid as she rushed to her. "This is some sort of farce." said Angelica as the maid proceeded quickly to fan her with a cloth. "No my princess... it is true." replied the maid. "This is impossible. Ian must be mad, I am going to see this display of stupidity for myself!" said Angelica hotly, quickly rising up and storming out of the room as the poor maid followed behind her. ||||

London, 1820 A kingdom shrouded in darkness. A bloodline cursed by power. A legacy of silver and shadows. Centuries ago, a king's insatiable thirst for power turned him into a monster—a vampire. His dark transformation left a curse upon his descendants: the Silver Blood, a gift and a torment. Silver Blood turns any weapon they wield into a force capable of slaying vampires—and according to ancient legend, holds the power to restore vampires to humanity. But no one knows if this power is salvation… or damnation. Maverick Crus Beecham, or Marx, is no stranger to the shadows. As the most skilled of the kingdom’s Special Soldier Night Guards, Marx has dedicated his life to protecting the realm. Yet when his stern uncle, Lawrence Beecham, unexpectedly sends him away for three months to inherit his title as Earl, Marx’s world takes an unforeseen turn. Enter Cherie, a mysterious and charismatic nobleman who exudes charm as easily as breathing. Their fateful meeting throws Marx into a whirlwind of intrigue, danger, and unspoken secrets. Despite their clashing personalities—Marx’s stoic discipline against Cherie’s playful magnetism—they are drawn together by a shared purpose, an enigmatic mission, and Cherie’s declaration of a "date" that feels more like destiny. “We should go through all of the ups and down, for better, for worse, until we are part by death” A tale of cursed bloodlines, enduring secrets, and unexpected romance, Sovereign of Silver Blood is a gothic adventure romance.

Celestia Aster always knew her luck was terrible, but learning she’s a cannon fodder in an unfinished novel? That’s a new low. On her twentieth birthday, she regains memories of her past life and discovers she’s doomed to die saving the heroine– all for the male lead’s tragic love story. What’s worse? In her past life, she’d paid to read this nonsense! Determined to change her fate, Celestia swears off her family’s indifference, the male lead’s drama, and the pitiful life of a pushover.

First, her emotionally-constipated father– who once couldn’t tell her from a houseplant– suddenly starts awkwardly doting on her. Then, scheming Brother #1 flips his villain switch and starts sabotaging people for her. Rude Brother #2, the human thesaurus of profanity, now uses his sailor's mouth to curse out her enemies. Even the youngest, who used to look at her like she’d sprout fangs, has turned into a limpet, clinging to her like she’s his favorite stuffed toy. And just when she thinks things can’t get any weirder? The Crown Prince– the overpowered terror of the protagonist squad– decides he wants her… on his payroll. Mom, pick me up. I’m scared…

A high ceiling, adorned with intricate carvings and fanciful decor. A warm golden light passing through stained glass highlighting the beauty of justice and righteous valour- a contrast to the maleficent beings that would often face this light- illuminates the room. Upon a raised dais, there is a displeased king, and by his side, stern-faced nobles and court officials stare down menacingly at the accused. Below these extinguished figures, bounded by chains and covered in grime, was a six-year-old girl. "Ixion Akastos Vespera" "In the presence of our sovereign King and the noble dukes of this great nation, you are summoned to answer for the grave crimes alleged against you. The entire house of Vespera, your family and lineage, has been wrongfully slain by a treacherous prisoner of theirs. We have reason to believe you have conspired with the ungrateful fiend, betraying your own blood and committing treason against our liege. How do you answer? Are you guilty or not guilty of this heinous crime?" "Not guilty." "Not guilty? Very well. You shall-" "I killed them myself. Not the dragon, only I." Murmurs erupted among the usually unperturbed high-class nobles. "Is it not according to law that a bloodline inheritor may kill all other potential heirs? As for my unfortunate mother, she was merely an unintended mishap." °°° Alexandra Chase, among a million others, found herself in a deadly game orchestrated by a supreme goddess to gain access to another world. Unfortunately, her life in this new world won't be any softer than the one before it. Her drive is not only to survive but also to supersede those beings who stand above. The goddess's schemes are far deeper than she could imagine. She is granted talent, unlimited potential, and terrifying attunement to the world itself with her new body, but many geniuses die young. Her most capable weapon is a concept many have yet to fathom- her soul.

It might have been fate or pure coincidental, the way they met but in any case, they did . It was even weirder the way troubles seemed to follow them like it was their shadows.Or could it be a way for them to get closer? Now they are both stuck with the person they hate, each other, while trying their very best to avoid their rapidly growing affection for each other. Excerpt: "What the hell? How can you just abduct someone like that and how did you jump so high?"Olivia asked in a loud voice. "Miss, I'm sorry for the intrusion but I needed you to come with me and I'll let you go very soon. By this time tomorrow you'll be back home and then you can go to work." Maximilian said calmly with a hint of amusement in his voice. His lips arched beautifully into a slight smile. Olivia couldn't help but stare at him. His eyebrows were shaped in a way that made him look stern. They were dark and thick. His eyelashes were also enviously dark and thick. His wavy raven black hair, a complete contrast to his smooth pale skin. His pale pink kissable lips were arced up in an amused smile however his beautiful silver eyes didn't give away any emotion — Now let's dive deeper into Love Enemies and see how these two will survive all challenges ahead of them.

After the death of her grandmother, a mute artist returns home only to discover she’s been sold out by her uncle and aunt. With her world crumbling, she struggles to rebuild her life, tangled in the web of her enigmatic buyer. She convinces herself that, despite his behavior suggesting otherwise, he is better than her family. But everything changes when she uncovers his true nature and demands her freedom—only to be met with an unexpected ultimatum. --- "You must be wondering why I brought you under my roof and paid so much for you, knowing how much I despise wasting resources, right?” These are the same questions I’ve been asking myself, but why is he suddenly posing them to me now? Am I about to be set free? Or am I about to face a new prison, one with stricter walls? Come on, Carmela. You're a writer—don’t let your imagination run wild. In books, the female lead is usually hit with endless rules and restrictions when faced with these kinds of questions. Is that my fate, too? "First and foremost," he began, his voice smooth but laced with an edge, "I’ll admit I brought you here for selfish reasons. But I don’t want my motives to be an obstacle in your life." He stepped closer, his gray eyes locking onto mine like magnets pulling me into a dark abyss. "I’ll give you one hour. Run as far as you can, and I won’t chase after you." His words froze me in place, but my body betrayed me, refusing to step back as he approached. His hand slid around my waist, lifting my face to meet his smoldering gaze. "Stay," he murmured, his voice a melody that sent shivers through me, "and you will be mine. Forever. I don’t let go of what’s mine." As suddenly as he drew me in, he released me, leaving the room without a second glance. Yet the rush of emotions he stirred refused to settle. --- "I no longer wish to be your slave," I declared, my voice firm. "I’ll repay every cent my adoptive family owes you." Nix tilted his head, a smirk tugging at his lips. "You sure?" "Six months," I replied. "With interest. If I fail, I’d rather jump off a cliff than live as your property." His laughter, deep and intoxicating, echoed around us. "No, beloved," he purred, his tone both dangerous and alluring. "I won’t let you die so easily." He set a small box before me, his eyes dark and unreadable. "Accept my proposal. Be my wife for one year, and I’ll erase the debt. I’ll even give you a billion to rebuild your life." His offer hung in the air, heavy with promise and peril. Before I could respond, he vanished into the crowd, leaving me alone with the weight of his words. --- "Ahem... that man you were with—what’s your relationship with him?"* Damian’s voice broke the silence. I met his gaze, raising a brow. "Why do you care?" "Don’t get me wrong," he replied, his tone stern. "But he’s dangerous. You shouldn’t be involved with him."* "Really?" I leaned back, crossing one leg over the other, feigning indifference. "Yes, Carmela. Cut off all ties with him," Damian warned, his voice cold and unyielding. But will she walk away... sign the contract... or take the ultimate plunge? **Coming Soon.**

He came home after six years and found her in their house, it had been only a few days and she avoided him like a plague and this hurt his ego, he tried every way to communicate with her but she lowered her gaze whenever he was around. She was very lonely while he had a loving family, he had money flowing at his feet, he could get anyone with a snap of his fingers but his heart craved her, but did he know her story?No!Only his parents and sister knew because when they took her in she was lonely, she was injured on some parts of her body, she was unconscious and had regained consciousness just last month and this month he came, she avoided him with the help of his sister sometimes, she barely spoke because he was very stern and too much friendly sometimes.

Excerpt: Ethan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he whispered in Ava's ear, "You know, wife, you're adorable when you're trying to be stern." He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart race. Ava's eyes flashed with irritation, her cheeks flushing. "Ethan, stop teasing me. We need to focus on our plan." She tried to sound firm, but her voice trembled slightly, betraying her frustration. Ethan's grin only grew wider. "Oh, come on, Ava. You know I'm just trying to lighten the mood. You're so serious all the time." He pushed off the wall, his movements fluid and graceful, and took a step closer to her. Ava's hands clenched into fists, her voice firm. "This isn't a game, Ethan. Our lives are at stake. We can't afford to make mistakes." She tried to sound convincing, but her eyes kept drifting to his, and she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. Ethan's expression turned innocent, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Who says I'm not taking it seriously? Maybe I'm just trying to distract you from the tension between us." He raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on hers, and Ava felt her heart skip a beat. "There's no tension, Ethan. We're just allies in this marriage pact," she lied, trying to sound convincing. But her voice was barely above a whisper, and Ethan's knowing gaze made her feel like he could see right through her. Ethan's chuckle was low and husky. "Keep telling yourself that, Ava. But I see the way you look at me sometimes... like you're trying to resist a temptation." He took another step closer, his eyes locked onto hers, and Ava felt her pulse race. "I don't know what you're talking about," she lied again, trying to sound convincing. But her eyes darted away, betraying her. Ethan's whisper was soft, his breath caressing her ear. "Oh, but I think you do, Ava. And soon, you'll have to admit it." His words sent shivers down her spine, and Ava knew she was in danger of falling for her husband's charms, even though she refused to admit it. The air was charged with tension, their banter a delicate dance of denial and attraction. And in that moment, Ava knew she was walking a thin line between resistance and surrender.

In the gloomy Old blood Castle in central Transylvania, Drake is born. The youngest heir to a powerful lineage of vampires that has ruled the night for generations. However, from his first cry (which sounded more like an out of tune sneeze), it was clear that Drake was not an ordinary vampire, he couldn't take his bottle of blood, he always wanted it with milk and coarseness. With small prey that insist on not growing and a bat-like flight that invariably ends in disastrous collisions. He is the opposite of the grace and grandeur that his family values ​​so much. While his ancestors desperately try to teach him the ways of vampirics – the arrogant posture, the mesmerizing gaze and the impeccable attack – Drake seems more inclined to create hilarious situations; he is very good at everything he sets out to do: pouring cups of blood into his father's ceremonial cloaks, tripping over coffins. His initiation with a rabbit ended up adopting him as a pet. Despite his clumsy nature, the Earl, his stern father, firmly believes that, in time, the nobility of his lineage will speak louder and Drake will become worthy of Oldblood Castle. But will Drake's clumsy essence be his undoing, or could it, in unexpected ways, be the key to rewriting his family's history? A story full of humor, tenderness and lessons about acceptance and growth, showing that even the clumsiest of vampires has a unique shine.

Die Schatten waren mächtig, die Dunkelheit allgegenwärtig. Doch Danny, der Hüter des Gleichgewichts, hatte bewiesen, dass weder Licht noch Finsternis allein die Welt formen konnten. Mit der Hilfe von Kira, der unerschütterlichen Kriegerin, und Kael’thar, dem weisen Drachen, hatte er eine Armee vereint, das Sternenfeuer in sich aufgenommen und die Sternenlichtklinge gefunden – ein Artefakt, das Licht und Schatten in einem einzigen Schlag vereinte. Doch der Sieg war teuer erkauft. Danny musste nicht nur gegen die Schatten kämpfen, sondern auch gegen sich selbst. Die Dunkelheit in ihm, das Flüstern der Mächte, die ihn umgaben, und die Bürde des Gleichgewichts verlangten mehr von ihm, als er je gedacht hätte. Am Ende von Band 2 hatte Danny das Sternenfeuer gemeistert und die Schatten in die Weiten der Welt zurückgedrängt. Doch die Warnungen der alten Kräfte hallten in seinem Geist nach: Das Gleichgewicht ist nie sicher. Es ist nie von Dauer. Während der Frieden die Welt ergriff, blieben die Herzen der Wächter wachsam. Denn in jedem Ende liegt der Keim eines neuen Anfangs – und die Welt hatte noch längst nicht alle ihre Geheimnisse preisgegeben.
