Norse Mythology Paperback Neil Gaiman

Step into a realm where time bends, destinies cycle endlessly, and the fabric of myth shimmers with cosmic truth. Kakbhushundi: The Eye of the Raven is not just a novel—it is a doorway into the eternal heartbeat of Hindu mythology. In this epic blend of fantasy and metaphysical lore, we follow a mysterious figure—half-man, half-raven—who has borne witness to the Mahabharata and the Ramayana not once, but over fifteen thousand times. In a forest untouched by time, a silent lake becomes the stage for an encounter that spans yugas, where one question births revelations older than creation. With the depth of the Puranas and the lyrical power of classical epics, this story brings ancient characters and forgotten truths to life through the eyes of Kakbhushundi—the cosmic observer, the ageless sage. Each chapter unfolds like a sacred mantra, filled with awe, wonder, and haunting suspense. A single fish in a still lake becomes the seed of wars that shall shake the cosmos—both in Ayodhya and in Kurukshetra. For readers who crave the grandeur of the Mahabharata, the divinity of the Ramayana, the enigma of time-traveling souls, and the spiritual resonance of timeless wisdom, this book will be an unforgettable journey. Kakbhushundi is more than mythology—it is memory incarnate.

Divine Warriors is a modern mythological action-fantasy set in India, blending ancient spiritual energy with fierce supernatural battles and inner conflict.

Drawn From Memory A Novel by Bakare Abiodun Abubakar (Book One) “We forget to survive. He remembers to live.” Mclainvic Roberts has already survived one horror story. After a childhood stained by blood and betrayal in a town called WhiteHorse, he's dropped into foster care—only to be adopted into the cold arms of a rich family with too many locked doors and too many secrets. When he's relocated to a quiet town named Ashridge, Mclainvic tries to start over. But Ashridge isn't just quiet—it's silent, and beneath its polite surface pulses something ancient, watching. Then June appears. A strange girl with a sketchbook full of places no one remembers. When she vanishes without a trace, Mclainvic is the only one who seems to remember she ever existed. Until he meets Isla, his foster sister, who whispers a terrifying truth: Ashridge doesn’t just hide its secrets. It erases them. As forgotten memories bubble up from beneath the town—drawings, voices, fragments of a place called Greymother—Mclainvic and June must race to uncover the truth before it swallows them too. But unearthing the past comes at a cost, and some doors are drawn for a reason. And some can’t be closed once they open. Drawn From Memory is a haunting psychological mystery about grief, memory, and the power of those who refuse to forget—even when the world needs them to.

"You let them surround us?!" she hissed, drawing her blade. "We’re trapped!" I raised a hand. "Trapped? No. We’re exactly where I want them." —CLICK. The runes beneath their feet lit up in a perfect circle. "...Wait. Was this a setup?" "Of course," I said. "It’s easier to catch flies when they walk into the web themselves." ... My name is Loki. Not the god of mischief, but close enough. In my last life, I was a street rat with a bad attitude and a worse haircut. My hobbies included tricking rich kids, stealing cheap paperbacks, and reading one fantasy novel over and over until the pages tore. And then I woke up inside it. Not as the protagonist. Not as the villain. Just a nobody. A background character with zero stats, no plot relevance, and a world that forgot I existed. Worse? I remembered everything. The betrayals. The corrupted kingdoms. The apocalypse disguised as prophecy. The chains. The flame. The end of the world. Oh—and the author? Let’s just say they made a lot of… questionable decisions. So I decided to make a few of my own. Steal the legendary cards. Manipulate heroes. Kill villains before the plot needs them. Lie, cheat, and break the system itself if I have to. Because if fate made me a nobody— Then I’ll become the bug that crashes the whole story. This world doesn’t know it yet, but I’m done playing by its script. I’m not the reader anymore. I’m the rewrite. Checkmate. ... discord: https://discord.gg/59UqUTSZbt

Imagine this: You're just a college student, buried in mythology textbooks and caffeine, dreaming of becoming a world-class expert on ancient gods and forgotten legends. That was my life—simple, grounded, normal. Then I died. No warning, no grand exit. Just darkness. Game over. Or so I thought. Because next thing I know, I’m standing before her—Veritas. A cosmic being with eyes like galaxies and a voice that shakes the soul. She didn’t ask. She didn’t explain. She just chose me… and sent me back as Hades. Yes, that Hades—the Greek god of the Underworld. You’d think my mythology degree would give me an advantage. Spoiler: it didn’t. The myths? Twisted. The stories? Half-true at best. And the gods? They’re nothing like the sanitized tales we tell. They're ancient, powerful, and terrifyingly real. Now I’m a mortal soul trapped in a divine body, caught in a web of politics, monsters, forgotten laws, and secrets older than time. No guidebook. No second chances. Just me, trying to survive in a world where every mistake could spark a war. Think you know the gods? Trust me—you don’t. Open the book. Step into my shadow. And see what it really means to be a god.

The Belfast kingdom was a small kingdom amidst other kingdoms, made up of rare-blood elves, who were ever scorned for their almost human like appearance and their limited mana reserves. Yet, they all lived a positive life, not blaming or cursing the humans, or the other demi humans. This is what Renard Belfast, the only child of the Belfast royal family, loved about the kingdom. No matter what, they all kept their smiles, shaping him into a compassionate soul, with dreams of a brighter future. However, the bright mood and innocent smiles were all suddenly tainted by blood, flames, and heaps of corpses when greed fueled armies sent by the neighbouring kingdom attacked, fueled by the greed of land and riches. Unable to fight back, the elves were obliterated, reducing their kingdom into ruins. Renard finds himself stuck under the protective arms of his mother, who had been stabbed from the back, and all he could hear is the screams of his kingdom, leaving him alone and vulnerable, shattering his heart. As hope faded from his eyes, a scavenger called Neil, drawn by the potential spoils of war, discovers him, and takes him under his wing to a distant kingdom, where he can find refuge and safety. He soon gets acclimatized to his new surroundings, as his new found family embraces him, soothing his young heart. But as soon as he buries his trauma, Neil's family is brutally murdered, all in front of him and Kael, igniting a dormant darkness within him. In that moment of darkness and despair, he becomes the chosen host of a Dark Sovereign, who offers him strength and abilities man could never attain, but at what cost? He struggles with the duality of his nature: The everlasting kindness taught by his kingdom, which now seemed too valuable to grant to humans, and the formidable darkness growing in him, granted by the Dark Sovereign. As he learns to harness his new found power, he sets out on two quests; to seek revenge on those who destroyed his family and to reclaim his fallen kingdom, a path full of thorns, blood, smiles, laughs, cries and happiness. His choices will have a heavy impact on his destiny and the world around him. Will he become an Angel; a beacon of hope.... Or will he become a Devil, a beacon of destruction and revenge? ****
