In a world where Lycans and werewolves are sworn enemies, Eve Valmont is a werewolf cursed by a prophecy and framed. Betrayed by her own pack and imprisoned for years, her fate takes a darker twist when she is offered to the Lycan King, Hades Stavros—a ruler feared for his ruthless conquests and deadly prowess. Bound by an ancient prophecy and haunted by the ghosts of her past, Eve is now at the mercy of the one being she should hate and fear the most—The Hand of Death himself. Hades, a king carved from blood and his own soul's decay, determined to avenge his family's slaughter and rid his people of the werewolves. He believes Eve is the key to his victory. To him, she is nothing but weapon foretold by prophecy, a tool he will wield to destroy the opposing forces threatening his pack. Yet, he finds himself craving this powerful yet broken woman. Leaving him questioning if she is truly his weapon or the one destined to unravel his carefully laid plans. *** He stalked toward me, a predator closing in on its prey, his eyes dark and unreadable. "So, you laugh?" His voice was low, dangerously soft, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I swallowed hard, suddenly aware of how difficult it had become to breathe. "Hades, I—" "But you only laugh at other men's jokes," he interrupted, his gaze piercing, devoid of any humor. "Not your husband's." The accusation in his tone was sharp, slicing through the air between us. A nervous chuckle escaped me. "You can't be serious... He’s your beta, for Goddess’ sake." In an instant, he closed the distance between us, so fast it left me breathless. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me flush against his body, the heat of him making my skin tingle. I gasped, but before I could say a word, his lips crashed onto mine, claiming my mouth with a force that sent shockwaves through me. The kiss was punishing, hungry—I couldn't breathe, couldn't think. When he finally pulled back, I was trembling, my chest heaving as I struggled to regain my breath. His eyes, dark and stormy, searched mine with a possessive intensity. "You can’t laugh at my jokes..." he whispered, his voice a dangerous rasp as his fingers trailed lower, sending a shiver down my spine, "but you’ll come with my fingers." I shivered, heat pooling low in my belly at his words, his touch. The world around us blurred, fading into nothing as his hand slipped lower, drawing a ragged gasp from my lips. The look in his eyes told me he knew exactly what he was doing to me, and there was no denying the primal connection between us in that moment. "I don’t need your laughter," he murmured against my skin, his breath hot on my neck. "I’ll have every other part of you instead." **** Dark fantasy romance Morally Grey ML Angst Suspense ENEMIES to lovers Smut (like sprinkles on your ice cream)

After years of intense conflicts between his guild, Hellscape, and the guild of his former infidel lover, Darkrow, things came to a head when Draco conquered all.

"SSS-ranked awakening with a trash talent? I really don't mind that!” Ace Kiryū, born in an era of Hades and walls where every child is blessed with three chances for awakening a gift: age 7, 14, and 18. Just like any other child, his wish was to awaken a gift at age 7; to be the third of the two SSS-ranked awakeners recorded in history, but his life was driven to force a stop, which led to his separation from his twin sister and the sudden ailment of his grandmother. Desperate to put things back in order, he finally stepped into a world far different from the tales he had been told— a world of dungeons; a sacred place he never should have set foot on, ravaging mysteries that were laden in the grave for centuries, which led to awakening a SSS-ranked summon— perhaps, a dragon. But this was just the beginning, as there was more to just being Ace Kiryū. Discord sever; https://discord.com/invite/euUndKFG

In the meantime, why not play a little? "Demon! stay back!" "Oooo~~~... I... I want to go back to the underworld where it's safe." "Run for your lives! The demon is here!" …..

However, when the eleven rogue sorcerers known as the Shadowbinders emerged, they sought to harness this power for their own dark purposes, threatening the fragile balance among the realms. The story unfolded across the Realm of Ash, home to phoenixes; the Realm of Stone, where golems dwelled; the Realm of Scales, ruled by dragons; and the Human Realm, inhabited by ordinary people.

The prince of Maldonia, Prince Artemis of House Arteides, the bear killer, the slayer of the elves is crowned King when his father Luca King Arteides dies. Aurora is a seer and a powerful witch who has yet to aknowledge her powers, only Artemis knows of it. Lucian Mithandir is in exile recruiting an army to fight Prince Castellan of house Taelin for the throne of Prophis. Artemis wants no parts of this war, but he is very aware whoever wins the war will later turn to Maldonia. Artemis has no clue that a bigger war is coming which will set out kingdoms on fire, Aurora has seen it in her dreams and it's for the Sweet Waters Throne in Maldonia. The end is uncertain but the ways are clearer, who will sit on the throne after the war to end all wars. The Bastard who's been denied his true claim to the Sweet Waters throne with the mighties fleet in the world and King Artemis of Maldonia who has Aurora and dragons breathing fire. ~ Excerpt Scene ~ "Are you ready? A dragon is not a horse my love" Aurora expressed her concerns. "The dragons are ready to be claimed, Your Grace. I think it’s the perfect time for Artodo to take the skies and be claimed. He and the King have great relationship. He just needs to understand the words that’s all. "Torgo explained while looking at both Aurora and Artemis. "I understand the words." Said Artemis. "Incendio for fire and Valar for him to fly. I know some Low Moor too." It seemed Aurora wasn’t easily convinced, "Knowing the language of our ancestors doesn’t mean you can hang on to the dragon and take to the skies, especially since you are not just practicing. You are taking the dragon to the Mines, in clear daylight." "Exactly, that is the only way we can silence Lord Leoric. I cannot let him take advantage of my sister, I have to try…" Visera interrupted. "He’s ready, I can see it in his eyes." She said with a smirk. Aurora ordered Torgo. "Bring him outside," in Low Moor. Torgo nodded and walked inside the darkened cave with a fire torch. All five dragons were inside the cave perfectly chained. He went after Artodo, the biggest of them all. The black beast, standing at forty feet from head to tail with a wingspan of twenty feet. A terrifying beast to even stare at. Artemis took two deep breaths. "According to my ancestors history, the youngest dragon rider to ever took the skies was ten years old. You’ll be fine." Aurora teased Artemis after she noticed how nervous he was. The dragon keepers placed a saddle on Artodo’s back and two strong handles made of iron and wood for Artemis to hang on to. Then, finally Aurora walked to Artodo — the black beast. She pulled in Artemis and they both touched the dragon’s right eye, soothing him before the take off. "This is your rider now Artodo, you are to obey him from this day forward to the last, as your mother commands." Aurora said this is Low Moor while the dragon hissed slowly. The dragon hissed and Aurora took it a sign that Artodo understood him. She took a step back and let Artemis take over. These two weren’t strangers to one another. Artemis’s touch wasn’t strange to Artodo and he silently lowered his left wingspan for Artemis to climb up. Carefully and slowly, Artemis mounted the black beast. It was no secret that he was scared. When he was on top of the dragon, Artemis smiled looking down and he suddenly exclaimed. "You all look like tiny bees from up here!" Aurora, Visera, Torgo and the dragon keepers laughed. Aurora walked to him and they looked at each other. Their dream finally came true; "Promise me, you’ll come back alive." Said Aurora. "I promise." "And that you will not burn the Mines to the ground. If she disagrees with you, perhaps it’s time to let her go." This was what Artemis truly needed to hear so he may stop his obsession with saving his sister. When he was ready, he shouted to Artodo. "Valar Artodo," and right there the dragon’s feet pounded the ground heavy as it prepared for takeoff.

Five years ago,Artemis disappeared. One day,the hunters found her and for some reason,she couldn't remember what had happened to her during those five years. What could have gone on,and why was the goddess so different.

A Song to Defy Death By Caleb Clytes When music calls, even death must listen. Orpheus, a gifted musician, dares to challenge the gods when his beloved Eurydice is taken from him too soon. Armed with his lyre and a melody that can tame wild beasts, he descends into the underworld—a land where shadows rule, and the living dare not tread. But the path to reclaiming Eurydice’s soul is fraught with peril. Ancient curses, vengeful spirits, and the impenetrable will of Hades stand between Orpheus and his love. As the strings of his lyre weave a tale of defiance and longing, Orpheus must face a question as haunting as his song: how far would you go to defy death? In A Song to Defy Death, Caleb Clytes brings a fresh and heart-wrenching retelling of the timeless myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Perfect for fans of lyrical prose, mythical adventure, and soul-stirring romance, this debut novel will leave you spellbound. Will Orpheus’s music be enough to defy the ultimate fate—or will the price of his love prove too great?

In the beginning, before the universe was born, there existed three gods: Phanes, the God of Creation, who brought life and light into the void; Shiva, the God of Destruction, who ensured balance through necessary endings; and Hades, the God of the Underworld, who governed what lay beyond death. Together, they maintained an eternal equilibrium. However, everything changes when Phanes, inspired by a vision, creates the universe—a vast expanse of stars, planets, and life. While Phanes marvels at the beauty of his creation, Shiva and Hades begin to fear that this unchecked expansion threatens the cosmic balance. Shiva believes that without destruction, life loses its meaning, and Hades fears the endless creation will leave no room for death, thus disturbing the natural cycle.
