Finding love in the shadows

Anterors a cupid, brimming with youthful enthusiasm, dreams of ruling over the realm of love alongside his father, the esteemed Cupid King Amor. However, his attempts to inspire love with his bow and arrow are met with unexpected resistance. His arrows seem to lose their magic, falling harmlessly to the ground. Despondent, Anterors confronts his father, who reveals a crucial truth: true power in the realm of love lies not in forced affection, but in genuine healing. To prove his worth, Cupid must mend the broken heart of Anna, a young woman whose life was irrevocably altered by the sudden and tragic loss of her parents in a car accident. Anna, grappling with the profound grief and trauma of the accident, has built impenetrable walls around her heart. Haunted by the memory of her parents, she struggles with intense grief, fear, and a deep-seated distrust of the world. She has sworn off love, believing it to be a cruel illusion, and has become cynical and withdrawn. Anterors, initially hesitant, embarks on a challenging journey to reach Anna. He must navigate the complexities of human emotions, understand the depth of Anna's pain, and ultimately earn her trust. He must learn to recognize the subtle signs of her trauma – the flashbacks, the anxiety, the emotional numbness – and offer support and comfort without intruding on her grief. Along the way, Anterors discovers that true love is not about grand gestures or fleeting infatuations. It's about empathy, understanding, and the courage to face vulnerability. He learns to listen to Anna's story, to validate her feelings, and to offer genuine comfort and support. Slowly, Anna begins to open her heart to Cupid, not as a symbol of love, but as a compassionate friend. As their bond deepens, Anterors realizes that true healing comes from within, and his role is to simply guide and support Anna on her journey of self-discovery and recovery. Through his experiences with Anna, Anterors discovers the true meaning of love – not as a force to be wielded, but as a powerful force for healing and growth. He learns that genuine love requires patience, understanding, and the courage to be vulnerable himself. In the end, Anna's heart begins to mend, not because of Anterors magical arrows, but because of the genuine connection they have forged. Cupid, having learned the true essence of his powers, proves himself worthy of the throne, not as a king of forced affections, but as a king of hearts, a true Heartmender.

BY THE EDGE OF THE SPEAR BOOK 1

BY THE EDGE OF THE SPEAR is a saga of Africa, a tale of conflict and love, unbreakable bonds, magic and the wonder of the African experience. It follows the mighty deeds of several heroes and heroines. The story is set 300 hundred years ago in East Africa where three communities are in conflict. The Maarati are pastoralists while the Anyaga are farmers. The two have had an uneasy co-existence with regular feuding for many years. Then enter the third force, the Nkolwane, who are sweeping everything in their path as they expand from the south, using both wizards (called Innaxzi) and warriors. The story follows the adventures of our hero Kiama, a youth who, though quite weak in warrior skills, is nevertheless quite strong in the arcane arts, something that he doesn’t know about until he is “awakened” by an old woman. The Maarati and Anyaga communities ascertain through their seers that there is a community from the south that is destroying all other communities in their path. They decide to unite their forces to combat this common threat. Kiama is one of the few who will have an intimate but painful knowledge of the southern enemy early on. The two communities marshal their might both arcane and force of arms to counter their enemy. We have Muniu and Runo of the Anyaga, mighty warriors with something to prove, and then there’s Lerionka, regiment commander of the Maarati and his beloved and beautiful Ntalei, their love beset by so many obstacles. There is Lengoibon, also regiment commander and a vicious rival of lerionka, there is Mukungu, a crafty, evil and cunning elder of Anyaga. Need I mention Kui, beautiful, proud, and oh so gifted lady of the Anyaga, Uloziba the stunningly beautiful Innaxzzi spy and scout of the Nkolwane, Wangari seer of Anyaga, and Samute the Oloibon of Maarati, each unique and powerful. This tale has not been told. This tale will now be told. This tale will keep you riveted to your seat. We promise you that.

Finding Him (BxB+)

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.
