Zoe Orimoto

In a world where the boundaries between the supernatural and human heart blur, Zuria and Zoe are two women caught in a war between love, power, and an ever-encroaching darkness that threatens to destroy everything they know. Zuria, once a hopeful soul, is now broken by betrayal. Her heart is chained to Fin, a vampire whose promises of love and power have bound her to a life of torment and manipulation. Possessing the ability to control life energy itself, Zuria's powers grow uncontrollably, fed by the torment of her heart and the dark desires of the man who claims to love her. Trapped in a cycle of abuse, Zuria must confront the horrifying choices laid before her—sacrifice her humanity to survive, or surrender herself to the darkness threatening to consume her from within. With each passing day, the line between love and monstrosity blurs, and Zuria’s desperate need to escape becomes a race against time before she becomes the very monster she’s afraid to become. Zoe, a young woman grieving the sudden deaths of her mother and father, is left adrift in a world that no longer makes sense. Consumed by questions of life and death, she stumbles upon a hidden power within herself, awakening the ability to absorb the life force of nature. But with power comes corruption. As Zoe delves deeper into her newfound abilities, dark forces begin to stir, threatening to unravel her sanity and push her to the brink of self-destruction. As she unlocks the secrets of her power, she discovers a deeper connection to the supernatural world—and to Zuria—than she ever could have imagined. Their fates are bound together, unbeknownst to them, as dark forces from both sides of the supernatural realm collide. Christian, a demon scarred by a past of betrayal, is drawn to Zoe, tasked with protecting her from those who seek to use her as a weapon of destruction. But Zoe’s power is not the only thing that attracts Christian—something deeper, something fated, pulls him toward her. Meanwhile, Loki, the prince of Hell, watches from the shadows, his eyes set on Zuria. He believes her power could tip the balance of the war between Heaven and Hell, and he will stop at nothing to claim her as his own. As the battle lines are drawn, each woman must choose her path. Will Zuria escape the grip of the vampire who holds her heart in chains, or will she embrace the darkness that has taken root within her? Can Zoe harness her power in time to stop the ancient forces closing in on her, or will she be consumed by the darkness threatening to swallow her whole? The world as we know it teeters on the edge of destruction. A war is coming, one that will see realms clash, and forces of light and dark vie for control. Allies will be tested, and betrayals will shape the course of history. In a world of broken promises, blood-soaked contracts, and impossible choices, love will be the greatest weapon, and survival the ultimate prize. Will Zuria and Zoe save the world from the impending war between Olympus and Hell, or will their powers become the very thing that shatters it? In a final battle where every soul is at stake, both women must confront their darkest fears, confront the monsters within, and decide how far they are willing to go to claim their fates. Light and dark, love and betrayal—only one can emerge victorious.

The last thing that Zoe needs is a ghoul duke obsessed with her (god-tier cooking skills)! *** [ORIGINAL BOOK COVER. Artwork commissioned by sola_cola from Artist CJ.] *** (EXCERPT 1) [I didn't expect to meet Isaak Viotto, the ghoul duke, as soon as I entered this novel.] Scratch that. Zoe should say that she didn’t expect to find him in a dark alley, but there she was. Isaak Viotto was crouching down in the corner while holding a dog. Considering the fact that he had his mouth wide open as if he was about to bite the dog, it was obvious that she just interrupted his meal. He only closed his mouth when he felt her presence, then he turned to her. [Oh no, he's hot!] Isaak Viotto snarled, baring his fangs at her. “What are you looking at?” “Your violet eyes,” Zoe said without thinking. “They look yummy.” “Huh?” “I like putting violet pansies in my salad,” she explained. “They’re delicious.” He just looked at her as if she was crazy. She knew that Duke Isaak Viotto was a GHOUL and ghouls, apparently, eat human flesh. But... [Dang, he's really hot.] “Give me the dog,” Zoe told the ghoul duke. “I’ll make you steak tartare in return.” [So, how did I end up in this situation again?] *** (EXCERPT 2) “You shouldn’t be too rough on animals even if you plan to eat them,” Zoe lectured the ghoul duke that she caught in the middle of trying to eat a dog--- alive! “There’s a humane way of taking their lives, you know?” Isaak Viotto, the ghoul duke that allegedly eats human flesh, just looked at her with glowing violet eyes. “You’re not scared of me,” he said bluntly. “Are you not afraid of getting eaten?” “Literally or sexually?” “What?” “What?” Zoe asked back. “I thought we were flirting.”
