Jeffrey Trail

With the advent of steam power, mankind has advanced and ushered in the industrial revolution. This is the age of steam locomotives, automatons, guns, and cannons, as well as curses, magic, artifacts, and the occult. Detective Inspector Alistair Quinn, a war veteran turned investigator, has spent years uncovering the dark secrets lurking beneath Gildspire’s industrial splendor. Fitted with a mechanical arm of his design, he is relentless in his pursuit of justice, unwilling to let the bureaucracy of the city stand in his way. But when a prominent industrialist, Lord James Thorpe, is found dead under inexplicable circumstances, Quinn is drawn into a mystery that defies reason. With the aid of Dr. Evangeline Everhart, a brilliant inventor with a mind as sharp as her mechanical creations,(and wife for all you romance lovers) Quinn follows a trail of clues that point toward something far more sinister than murder—an ancient, long-forgotten machine that could alter the very fabric of reality. As he navigates the treacherous world of secret societies, forbidden technology, and hidden cults, Quinn must confront not only the forces working against him but also the ghosts of his own past. The deeper he digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Some knowledge was never meant to be unearthed. Some devices were never meant to be activated. But in a city where power is everything, there are those willing to kill to control it.

The same woman Sigrid was on a mission to destroy, an irreconcilable enemy. With misunderstandings, scheming and jealousy, thus begun Sigrid's trials to win the heart of the man that had undeniably captivated her with his dazzling smile and her mission step over the fake female lead, be crowned empress and change her fate. Excerpt. "A knife to the throat of your husband that has just returned from war, what do you hope to accomplish crown princess?" Sigrid's eyes trailed down, to the silver blade pressed against her abdomen, she raised her head and laughed snidely. "A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives." Roland leaned down with a part smug and part angry smoldering look in his eyes. It was if he wished to set her on fire, and not in the passionate way. "Honey i am home." he slowly said, dragging the words out. Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please… let me go,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child.

One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped.

Gvette, the last surviving planet of the human race after the alien invasion, fell into crisis when their strongest warrior plunged into a coma due to a poison he ingested while fighting the aliens. After years of research, they launched a powerful, unprecedented program called "Love Interference System (LIS)." All of humanity was called to participate in a desperate attempt to save their hero, but the results were still disappointing. When they were losing hope, one of the newly created systems within the program, known as System 707, automatically got linked with a foreign consciousness. 707 mistook the consciousness for a normal human consciousness sent by its developers to become a world-hopper, who go to different digital worlds to save the villains and complete their wishes, in hopes of waking their warrior one day. Soyun yawned as he noticed the system. "Where am I? Last I remember I was sleeping in the Divine Palace..." 707 couldn't understand him, but hearing the system's plight, Soyun agreed to help. He was once a human too, so he thought he would simply treat it as a vacation. But he never thought that the villians he was tasked with saving would trail behind him like eager puppies, and their demands would become increasingly vulgar with each new world he entered! Even the system, 707, was shocked to see the cruel villains, whom no world-hopping individuals could conquer, bow their heads toward the host with sheepish smiles! Soyun: What do you want?? The villians: You and your body! Soyun: .... 707: Emergency Code Red! The strongest warrior is seducing the host—Ahem, no, I mean the host has somehow seduced the strongest warrior! Soyun: .... ------------- ------------- Note: The cover is not mine as I am too poor. All credits go to the owner. If he/she wants me to remove it, just ring me up in the comment section.

I ran so fast— my boots digging into the snow. There was nothing to protect me from the cold. When I no longer heard his footsteps behind me, I risked a glance over my shoulder. Relief barely washed over me before I turned back, only to freeze in terror. He was standing right in front of me. He stalked towards me like a predator watching it’s prey. His eyes dark and cold. I swallowed hard, taking a slow step backward. “I think you are forgetting something, Freydis,” he murmured. “What?” “That a wolven, a beast like me, can’t be killed by a single stab,” he said. “If you wanted to kill me you should have aimed for the heart.” In an instant, he was not standing in front of me. He’d moved so fast that it left me breathless. I felt his fingers trail across my soft skin. I swallowed hard, my mind screaming for me to run. Just before I could do anything, he struck, his sharp fangs pierce into my skin.
