Devil Child

-- IMPORTANT NOTE!! As of April 2025, the author has given her (yes, she's a woman) life to God. She renounces any expressions documented in this novel. All humans are children of God, and although some may be gifted, it makes them no less or more important than another. Matthew 6:33 (KJV) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Only God knows the future. Read the Bible. Pray. The end of times are here. -- The future of mankind rests in Noe's hands. Having faced brutal bullying throughout his life, Noe is sent to a boarding school where his luck takes a sudden turn for the fantastical. Planet Earth, 2075. Humanity is hanging by a thread after World War Three rendered the globe inhabitable. With the introduction of angels, demons and realms unknown, will Noe play a hand in saving humanity or let the humans that mistreated him burn beneath his flames? To destroy the World or save it? That is the question. Excerpt: Like a demon of destruction, Noe snaps. His vision blurs and dissipates, scattered like glass beads across cement. When he comes to, he is no longer watching the scene but is at its epicenter, soaking in a pool of purple blood, maroon cadavers strewn across the ground. Every centimeter of the hall is covered in gore - except for Mr. Henderson, whose eyes, wide-blown in astonishment... and horror, are captivated by Noe's neck. Looking down at himself, Noe sees thousands of black feathers have sprouted out from his own flesh. They tingle at the root and shudder as he breathes, as if leaves clinging to a tree in winter. Blood coats his every morsel. Springing his now grey fingertips onto his neck, Noe perceives what feels like the head of a purple hyacinth wrapped around it, its ribbon-like strands interlocking and jetting as if growing from his voice box. Touching his face, porcelain-smooth, painted by blood, marble skin appears unbreakable. It was all for first love. —- Discord: SEP1A#9769 Cover Art: raazu692 | Fiverr

The Child of Second Dawn

When fifty-two-year-old James Hargrove dies protecting a young girl in a rainy Manchester alleyway, he expects his story to end there. But fate—or something greater—has other plans. James awakens not in the afterlife, but in the body of a ten-year-old boy named Alex in a parallel version of Earth—one frozen in a strange, retro-futuristic version of the 1980s. London is familiar yet uncanny: double-decker buses roll past horse-drawn carts, rotary phones sit beside arcane typewriters, and rumours swirl of secret societies and disappearances the government won’t explain. Taken in by a warm, loving family—a kindhearted mother, a wisecracking father, and an adorable four-year-old sister—Alex begins to adapt to this second life. But his memories of James bleed through in dreams and sudden flashes. And while his new world is filled with domestic peace, it hides a growing darkness. People from the poorer districts are vanishing. Alex discovers that many of the missing were children. Street kids. Nobodies. Just like the girl James once gave his life to protect. Determined to uncover the truth, Alex is pulled into a secret war between ancient powers hidden beneath the city—forces that feed on fear, manipulate memory, and have plans for the boy with a soul too old for his body. As he unravels the mystery behind the disappearances, Alex must confront a chilling possibility: his rebirth was no accident. He was chosen. And the fate of both worlds may rest in the hands of a boy who remembers dying.
