In the heart of a stormy night, a mysterious red light pierces the sky — and with it, Vian’s life changes forever. Drawn by an unexplainable pull, he follows the strange light deep into the woods, only to be struck by a shadowy hand that drives through his chest. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in an unfamiliar land — a place known as Therinvale, where magic flows like air, and danger lurks beneath every smile. Lost, confused, and without powers in a world ruled by strength and sorcery, Vian begins his journey not as a hero, but as a stranger. Rescued by a kind-hearted girl named Lisa, and haunted by glimpses of a silver-haired warrior who saved his life, Vian sets out to uncover the secrets of this world — and of himself. As elite fighters prepare to face dark threats beyond the city’s walls, Vian, the powerless boy from Earth, dares to dream of joining them. But what is the true nature of the shadow inside him? And why does his presence unsettle those attuned to magic? In a realm of ancient forces, forgotten gods, and bending realities, Vian’s descent is only the beginning of a story that will shake the foundation of both worlds.

When angels fell, the world learned death. Once, heaven and earth were one. Immortal, peaceful, and untouched by violence—until the twin sons of the Archangel Bariel were born. One, Auriel, shone with kindness. The other, Samael, was consumed by shadow. His rebellion shattered the divine order and unleashed death upon the world. Now, centuries later, the echoes of his name bring fire and ruin once more. Ray, the son of a tribal chief, is left for dead after his homeland is annihilated by Samael's black-cloaked army. Scarred, broken, and hunted, he awakens with only a single promise left to keep: to avenge the blood of his people. Together with Caleb, his fierce and loyal otter-spirit companion, Ray sets out on a journey through hostile lands, buried secrets, and divine conspiracies. But the deeper they travel, the clearer it becomes: Samael’s return is not a myth. And Ray's blood might carry a forgotten power the heavens fear. Divine blood. Mortal rage. And a war that will awaken the fallen once more.

In a world ruled by deception and legacy, Seraphina must walk the delicate line between who she was raised to be… and the power she was born to wield. Because light and shadow are not enemies — They are two halves of the same bloom

Her life is guided by faith, simplicity, and the warmth of a close-knit family that has sheltered her from danger and darkness. But everything changes when her path crosses with Leonardo De Luca—a ruthless Italian Mafia boss whose hands are stained with blood and sins too heavy to confess. Cold, feared, and merciless, Leonardo lives in a world where loyalty is bought, and love is weakness. He never believed in God, let alone redemption. Yet, when fate brings Noor into his world, he is disarmed by her innocence, her unwavering morals, and the purity in her gaze that sees past his violence. What begins as curiosity becomes obsession. What starts as protection becomes love—dangerous, forbidden, all-consuming love. As Noor is pulled deeper into the shadows of his empire, she must fight to hold onto her identity and her faith. And Leonardo? He must choose between the empire he built from blood and the light he never thought he deserved. But shadows never fade without a fight—and love, in their world, comes with a price.

Trong một thế giới mà bản chất được dệt nên từ vô vàn tầng lớp của những ràng buộc vô hình, nơi từng phân tử hiện hữu đều bị khắc ghi bởi định luật của sự trói buộc và mỗi linh hồn đều là con rối bị điều phối bởi chuỗi xích vô tận của nguyên lý. Và trong chính sự điên cuồng ấy, một phản nghịch đã nảy sinh...Từ phản nghịch đó, đứa con của tự do đã ra đời, không phải như một sinh vật, mà như một dị điểm của toàn thể. Lumine là một mầm mống không thuộc về trật tự, một tồn tại gào thét giữa vòm trời bất động, một biểu tượng sống của khước từ mọi gông cùm đã khai sinh ra khát vọng tuyệt đối, hủy diệt mọi ràng buộc. Không phải bằng thù hận, mà bằng chính cơn đói triệt để với tự do tuyệt đối, Lumine và kẻ song hành đã thách thức thực tại, một thực tại vốn là mê cung bất khả phản kháng được dựng nên bởi những kẻ mang danh Thần, những kẻ không tạo ra thế giới mà lại chiếm hữu nó bằng thứ quyền lực mượn danh ý chí. Thế nhưng, ngay khi bàn tay họ tưởng đã chạm đến thứ ánh sáng rực rỡ nơi cuối đường hầm, cái ánh sáng mà họ nghĩ là sự giải thoát thì chính vòm trời ấy sụp đổ, và thực tại cười khẩy bằng tiếng cười của vô số bánh răng vận mệnh gãy vụn. Họ không bị đánh bại bởi kẻ thù, mà bởi chính quy luật đã thối rữa của cái thế giới họ muốn phá tan, nơi mọi hành động dù nhỏ bé nhất cũng bị tính trước trong một ma trận tuyệt đối của hệ quả. Đắng cay thay, cái chân lý mà họ đuổi bắt, cái chân lý trần truồng, tinh khôi và thuần khiết nhất... tự do lại nằm ngay trước mắt họ, song bị che khuất bởi sự tồn tại của một điều không nên tồn tại...Và chính vì thế, sự tồn tại của hắn không thể được dung thứ. Không phải bởi vì đạo lý, mà bởi vì hắn là dấu chấm hết của mọi diễn ngôn. Kẻ đó không nên tồn tại. Không phải bởi vì hắn sai, mà bởi vì hắn là thứ thuần túy, một lỗ hổng mang hình người trong thân thể của một thế giới đang hấp hối vì chính những gì hắn cho phép tồn tại.

Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement. As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral. With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be. Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret. When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust. As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side. He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first. ************************************* Updates 3-4 times per week. Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff. When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice. There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy. This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love. ************************************* Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!): Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze. Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan. A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left. But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another. He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else. One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer. Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out. "What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest. "The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it." "Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him. Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again. "I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it." Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you." "I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction. "I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…" "You want what?" "I want more." Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"
