The Tainted Half Manga

Eternal Iron, Tainted Lands

Wrote this book a while ago, published it on KDP, awaiting a voiceover, this will be the free version for now, but if you’d want a voice over version to enhance your read, search up my title, there will be a sale soon on the book next month, so feel free to do anything you’d like, or just read straight from here :) "Eternal Iron, Tainted Lands" is a dark, action-packed fantasy novel that plunges readers into a gritty, 19th-century London, where the industrial revolution clashes with ancient, hidden powers. We follow the journey of Thomas, a young boy trapped in a cycle of poverty and abuse, who stumbles upon a secret that will forever alter the course of his life – and potentially, the world. He discovers he possesses a rare connection to an ancient force called the Eternal Spark, granting him the potential for immortality but also marking him as a target. The narrative follows Thomas as he transforms from a frightened child into a powerful, immortal gunslinger known as "The Shadow Weaver." He navigates a dangerous path, honing his abilities by mastering glyphs, an ancient language that allows him to manipulate life force, time, and even the elements. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a need for revenge, Thomas battles corrupt forces, explores the morality of power, and grapples with the chilling lure of chaos. As his understanding grows, he is drawn into a hidden conflict between the Seekers, a group dedicated to understanding and protecting the Eternal Spark, and the Watchers, a mysterious organization that seeks to control it. The lines between good and evil blur as Thomas's journey forces him to confront not only external threats but also the darkness within his own heart. He's forced to confront his path of destruction, and it would lead to change that would be necessary, not for survival, but for a destiny that he could finally control. He learns, he grows, he falls, and he rises again with a new purpose and understanding. "Eternal Iron, Tainted Lands" is a story about transformation, the corrupting influence of power, and the battle between order and chaos. It's a dark fantasy that explores the burden of immortality, the price of change, and the fight to forge one’s own destiny in a world teetering on the brink of the unknown. Readers will find a rich blend of historical atmosphere, brutal action, and deep philosophical questions within its pages.

Tainted Love

Some loves are meant to destroy.* In a city where danger lurks in every shadow, Lila Dunn has built a life of control and stability. A young woman focused on her career and her future, she has carefully steered clear of anything that could unravel the tight grip she has on her world. That is, until one fateful night when a chance encounter with the infamous Dominic “The Bull” Caruso throws everything she’s ever known into chaos. Dominic Caruso, a name whispered in fear throughout the criminal underworld, is as ruthless as he is captivating. As a high-ranking enforcer for the Caruso crime family, Dominic’s life is defined by blood and betrayal. He’s a man who doesn’t believe in love, let alone trust. Yet when he crosses paths with Lila, he sees something in her—something untouched by the darkness he’s immersed in. What starts as a casual encounter soon spirals into something much deeper, a dangerous obsession that neither of them can escape. Dominic’s world of violence and control begins to consume Lila, pulling her into a whirlwind of passion, power, and peril. But as Lila grapples with her growing feelings for a man who lives by a code she can’t understand, she faces an impossible choice: remain in the life she’s fought to create, or embrace the dangerous, intoxicating love that threatens to destroy her. In *Tainted Love*, I wanted to explore the tension between the safety of the life we know and the allure of the unknown—how love can make us feel both invincible and vulnerable at the same time. Through Lila and Dominic’s story, I hope to capture the raw, unrelenting emotions that come with falling for someone who doesn’t just challenge our beliefs but forces us to confront the darkest parts of ourselves. This is a love story where every choice has consequences, and sometimes, the price of passion is higher than we can afford.

Half me and half...

"Get your hands off me!" she wrestled against my grip, so I held her even tighter. "Put this on!" I groaned, toiling to keep her in place and wishing again I’d worn the damn gloves. The feel of her warm skin under my arm and palm wasn’t helping my focus. "I'm not taking you home like this!" "You don't tell me what to do!" she snapped, thrashing to break free of my hold as I fumbled with the cloak in my other hand, trying to drape it over her bare shoulders. "I'm not going home! Let me go, I said!" "Did you really think I got you out of there just to let you wander the streets, almost naked, like a lunatic?" That stopped her. "What did you call me?!" "LU-NA-TIC." "You... You…! Take your hands off me, you insolent brute!" Enraged, she yanked her arm too abruptly and lost her balance. I caught her, wrapped her in the cloak, and threw her over my shoulder. "PUT ME DOWN!" She shrieked and flailed, but I ignored her, making my way to the Commander’s house, which, thanks to Braa, was only two streets away. Since the entire population was in the square for the ridiculous festival, no one intervened at the frantic cries of the wild creature. No wonder in the ten years I've known the Commander, I've never heard that he has a daughter. She must’ve been kept locked away. Strangely, she suddenly went still and quiet. Had she grown tired, worried about attracting attention, or finally realized how inappropriate it was to show up at her parents' doorstep in this state? She didn’t seem to care before. With every step, my anxiety grew—she was limp. "Hey!" No answer. Seriously?! "Hey, you!" Nothing. A bad feeling crept over me, so I pulled her off my shoulder and into my arms. Her head fell against my chest—unconscious. "Hey! Hey, you!" I shook her, but she didn’t react. Panic surged through me. Had she fainted? Had I held her too tight? Lifting her more securely, I sprinted toward the Commander's house.
