Born Into Fear

Born to Not Be Noble

Lilith was the very definition of aristocratic perfection. From a young age, she shone as the brightest star in high society. Mastering exotic languages, stitching with meticulous precision, and gliding through ballrooms as if she were floating were as natural to her as breathing. Every smile was rehearsed, every word measured, and every movement designed to reinforce her image as the ideal future lady, and eventually, the perfect queen. It wasn’t just talent; it was discipline, effort, and, let’s be honest, a dangerously obsessive streak. Rumors in the upper echelons of society described her as a prodigy, though some also considered her a mirror so polished it reflected nothing genuine. Then, the accident happened. A slip of fate (or the rug, who knows) left her with nine years of meticulously crafted effort reduced to ashes. She woke up with no memories of her stellar track record or the rules that had made her an icon. Goodbye to perfectly synchronized dances; hello to clumsy attempts at remembering how to hold a teacup without looking like a peasant. Her parents, desperate to restore the lost glory, devised a rigorous regimen: in three years, Lilith must reclaim all her manners, skills, and knowledge to be ready as a queen candidate. What would normally take a decade, she has to achieve in record time. Lilith, who now can’t tell the salad fork from the dessert fork, faces an educational marathon that would make even the most dedicated tutor nervous. Will Lilith regain her throne as the perfect lady of society, or will her fall become eternal gossip among the tea party ladies? One thing is certain: perfection doesn’t include laughing at herself, and that might just be her greatest challenge.

Apocalypse Perspective: Frozen Fear

As the ice caps of the North Pole melt under the relentless effects of climate change, an ancient and deadly virus is unleashed upon the world. This prehistoric pathogen wreaks havoc on humanity, infecting victims with symptoms of internal burning, cracked skin, and eventual brain death. But even in death, the infected remain mobile, with heightened senses of hearing and an insatiable predatory instinct. At first, the virus is confined to isolated, remote areas. However, global travel allows it to spread silently and mutate into a faster-acting strain. A single bite now transforms victims into ravenous, zombie-like creatures within seconds. The story follows the lives of diverse survivors scattered across the globe. Each grapples with the horrors of the outbreak and the collapse of their world. From a young child lost in the wilderness to a soldier torn between duty and family, from researchers racing to find a cure to mercenaries embarking on desperate missions, these perspectives weave together a tapestry of human resilience and desperation during an unprecedented apocalypse. Series 1: Frozen Fear Main Character: Elliot Carson, a 10-year-old boy from Alaska Synopsis: Elliot Carson is an ordinary ten-year-old living in a quiet Alaskan town surrounded by vast, snow-covered wilderness. His life takes a nightmarish turn when people in his town begin succumbing to a strange, deadly illness. Their bodies burn from the inside, their skin cracks like parched earth, and their eyes lose all trace of humanity. The infected become mindless predators, hunting anything that makes a sound. Elliot’s parents are among the first to fall victim to the virus, leaving him alone with his only companion, Max, the family’s loyal dog. With the town overrun, Elliot flees into the unforgiving wilderness, clutching only the survival skills his father had taught him. He must navigate a world transformed by danger, where the infected lurk in the shadows and even the harsh Alaskan winter seems intent on taking his life. As he travels, Elliot encounters other survivors. Some offer fleeting moments of kindness and companionship, while others prove to be as dangerous as the infected. Whispers of a safe zone hidden deep in the Alaskan mountains give him a fragile hope, but the journey is fraught with peril. Every step brings new challenges, from evading the infected to enduring the relentless cold. Through Elliot’s eyes, the story explores the resilience of a child thrust into unimaginable circumstances. It’s a tale of survival, of the unbreakable bond between a boy and his dog, and of the flickering hope that keeps them moving forward even when the odds seem insurmountable. Themes: The loss of innocence and the discovery of inner strength. Survival in the face of both environmental and human threats. The enduring loyalty and companionship of a boy and his dog. Elliot’s journey serves as a poignant and harrowing introduction to the interconnected narratives of Apocalypse Perspective, highlighting the fragility of humanity and the enduring will to survive.

"I will touch the stars... or die trying." ==================== Note: NO R-18, R**e, Romance or pre-marital handholding. I take no pleasure in writing such things. There's a bunch of killing and gruesome descriptions though. The novel is a bit slow in the first chapters, but after that, it picks up and gets significantly better. Also, the power system is similar to BotDS, but I've asked the author for permission to use it. It's also heavily inspired my writing, but the beginning is where its most prevalent.

Born of the Evil Dragon

Born of the Evil Dragon is set in a low-magic world. The story unfolds in a once-great empire that has crumbled under its own weight—its power, splintered by internal corruption, external invasions, and a cataclysmic coup. At the heart of this world is Evius Draconis, a young man with a mysterious past, raised not by the fallen human royal family but by a mercantile elven family. His upbringing was shaped by the wisdom and ancient traditions of the elves, rather than the decadence of imperial royalty. While his ties to the empire are deep and complicated, Evius himself stands apart, forged by a different heritage. The story begins with the coup orchestrated by Casso Isetus, the leader of the Black Dragon Syndicate, who overthrows the emperor Edric Valedraco. Under the guise of saving the nation, Casso swiftly gains control of the palace and the empire, but his true motives soon become clear: power for its own sake. He betrays the emperor, murders the empress Aurelia Valedarco and the crown prince Dorian Valedarco, and installs himself as the ruler of the land. With the fall of the imperial family, the nation plunges into chaos, its people suffering under Casso’s brutal rule. Amidst this upheaval, Evius emerges as a figure of resistance. Though not of royal blood, he possesses the strategic brilliance and leadership qualities instilled in him by his elven guardians. With a small band of loyal allies, he embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim the empire, fighting not only against Casso's forces but against the very spirit of the empire’s destruction. Along the way, Evius uncovers the bitter truth: he is not so different from the tyrant he fights. To revive the empire, he must face the darkness within himself—his ambition, his willingness to sacrifice, and the terrible power that awaits him. Born of the Evil Dragon is an epic tale of revival and ruin, loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair. It delves deep into the complexity of power, exploring whether one can retain their humanity when faced with the temptations of vengeance and ambition. It is a story about the price of restoring a broken world, and the personal sacrifices required to achieve something greater than oneself.

Told from the first-person point of view of Jemima, the novel follows her harrowing journey as she is drawn into the sinister world of the Vancourt family, who have been haunted for generations by supernatural forces. After the death of her husband, Sage, Jemima is contacted by a lawyer from the Vancourt estate, revealing that her late husband left an inheritance for their children, Kaius and Amari. However, to claim it, Jemima and her children must travel to the Vancourt mansion, a place that holds dark secrets and a disturbing history. As Jemima ventures into the mansion, she is confronted by the malevolent energy that still lingers there, alongside the powerful and intimidating Ryker Vancourt, the patriarch of the family. Throughout the novel, Jemima uncovers the horrifying truth about the Vancourts and the curse that has bound them for centuries. As she digs deeper, she discovers that her own husband, Sage, may have been a victim of the curse, and his death was not an accident but a desperate attempt to protect his family.

As the story progresses, Jemima’s son, Kaius, begins to exhibit disturbing abilities, suggesting that the curse is not only affecting her family but is slowly taking hold of them as well. The mounting tension builds to a terrifying climax as Jemima learns that to break the curse, she must make an impossible choice: sacrifice herself or her children. The novel concludes with a chilling realization that, although the curse may be broken, the lingering shadow of fear will never fully leave Jemima and her children. The Shape of Fear is a tale of love, sacrifice, and survival, exploring the idea that some legacies are too dark to escape, no matter how hard you fight. The narrative style, using first-person point of view, creates a deep emotional connection with Jemima, allowing readers to experience her fear, confusion, and determination as she unravels the horrifying truth of her family’s past. With rich character development, a strong sense of atmosphere, and shocking twists, this book offers an unsettling exploration of the supernatural, familial bonds, and the cost of breaking free from a cursed past.
