One Who Craves Souls

Ancient Shadows: Stolen Souls

In Setharis, a world where the art of thievery is not a crime but the very foundation of society, the rules and organizations of thieves dictate order. Ranks, guilds, and entire family clans control the constant dance of appropriation, where audacity and skill are the true currency. Rix, a young and ambitious rogue, lives to prove his worth in this elegant and dangerous underworld. But a routine heist leads him to possess something far beyond the ordinary: a Soul Gem, a legendary artifact imbued with vital energy and ancient secrets. The possession of the gem, and subsequently a forbidden book from the mysterious Order of Scribes, thrusts Rix and his guild, the Silk Fingers, into a power struggle that shakes Setharis to its core. Ancient and terrifying beings known as the Slumbering Legacies begin to awaken, threatening to plunge the world into chaos. Caught between the fury of a Legacy, the search for a legendary "Seraphina's Tear" that may hold the key to calm, and a dangerous and uncertain alliance with the all-powerful Council of Shadows, Rix must unravel the secrets of the Gem of Insight and use forbidden knowledge to navigate betrayals, confrontations, and the shocking truth about the Legacies. Will a cunning thief's skill be enough to face forces that have slept for ages? Discover the secrets buried beneath centuries of dust and the true face of power in this epic of thievery, magic, and the awakening of legends in Setharis.

I Am The One Who Digs

In a world ruled by ancient magic, swords, and noble bloodlines, Bones is a digger—one of the many faceless workers condemned to toil in the depths. Day after day, he mines in darkness, extracting materials to feed the noble house’s hunger for wealth and war. He’s told that his work sustains the empire, but all Bones sees is the bottomless pit of need from those above. But when the earth beneath him begins to shift, strange things emerge from the stone—relics of a forgotten age, unearthly tremors, and whispers from the shadows. As Bones digs deeper, he unravels a secret older than the empire itself. What he and his fellow laborers have been unearthing is far more than just ore—it’s a power long buried, one that could reshape the world. And the empire knows nothing of it. Caught between forces beyond his understanding, Bones must confront a choice: remain a tool in the hands of those who control him or wield the power he’s uncovered for himself. But as the line between right and wrong blurs, Bones begins to lose himself in the magic he’s unearthed. His desire to escape his fate transforms into an insatiable hunger for control, and the deeper he digs, the darker his soul becomes. In this epic tale, Bones will discover that true power lies not only in what is buried beneath the earth, but also in the choices one makes when no one is watching. The man who was born to dig may become either a hero who defies the empire—or a villain who ushers in its downfall. The question is: how far will he go before he loses himself?

His Maddest Craving

She's afraid of the dark, he embodies it. Most say her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall. She laughs too loud, cries too much, and smokes like her life depends on it, and in some ways it does. Little do they know, it’s just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time. "As long as they were looking at my body, they'd never see what was behind my eyes." No one can see through Aurelia Cabrera's facade—not until he comes along. Some know him as an emotionless player, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. He changed through his girlfriends like they were underwear. But that was only because all the ladies loved the way he played his guitar when he and his rock band, "Zeveira", would perform their electrifying songs on stage. With a tendency to pick order and class as his companion, Alexei "Alex" Morozova has never been tempted to veer off course. But perhaps one should never say never... One autumn night and their lives intertwine. She hates him—his arrogance and habit of never taking anything or anyone seriously—but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. Nowhere in Alexei’s plans had he ever prepared for Aurelia. She’s chaos embodied, not his type, but that can never stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes. All along, she doesn’t even know that she’s his frustration, his fascination - and he's been craving this amount of fun for his entire life. She's his maddest craving.
