Esmeralda Hellfire

In a war-torn empire where power corrupts absolutely, seven broken warlords branded as monsters must defy their past to forge a future worth redeeming. Once feared as "The Ghost Tigers"—Zhang Wei’s brutal enforcers—Kalima Chileshe (Hellfire Incarnate), John Mwanabeti (The Golden Fist), and their brothers-in-arms unleashed devastation across the Jade Expanse. Kalima’s flames razed villages. Chisangalalo Zulu’s breath poisoned rivers. Vincent Kabonde twisted flesh into abominations. But when the warlord they served turns their affinities against their own families, they shatter their chains, becoming hunted outcasts with blood on their hands and empires on their trail. Haunted by the ashes of Frost Moon Province—a genocide Kalima can never undo—the Ghost Tigers are consumed by a desperate chase: to escape their sins, control their cursed gifts, and find a peace that feels forever out of reach. Their only anchors are the love of spouses they were forced to abandon: - Kalima’s healer wife, Mei Lin, whose faith in his humanity is fading. - John’s fierce swordsmith wife, **Hana, imprisoned for defying Zhang Wei. - Zulu’s herbalist wife, **Lihua**, dying from the toxins he once weaponized. Their quest leads them to the **"Breath of Heaven"**—an ancient philosophy teaching control over their destructive affinities. With this fragile hope, they unite with rebels and clans to build **"The Sanctuary"** in the poisoned Mourning Moss Swamp, transforming their powers into tools of healing: - Kalima’s fire now warms forges. - Zulu’s breath purifies blighted land. - Vincent’s bone-warping mends wounds. But Zhang Wei’s vengeance is relentless. He creates monstrous Serpent’s Teeth" soldiers and poisons the empire’s wells, blaming the Ghost Tigers. Facing annihilation, they make a final stand—not with fire and fury, but with irrefutable truth. Risking everything, they expose Zhang Wei’s atrocities to the Imperial Court, culminating in a celestial aurora over the capital—a beacon of their restraint and redemption. In the aftermath, the Ghost Tigers achieve the impossible: Reunite with their spouses against all odds. Cleanse the land they once poisoned. Build a sanctuary where affinity-bearers and refugees find hope. Force the empire to acknowledge their humanity. Years later, the Ghost Tigers stand not as warlords or monsters, but as guardians of the Sanctuary—a thriving city born from ashes. Kalima and Mei Lin heal beneath blossom trees where infernos once roared. John and Hana teach children to forge swords into plowshares. Vincent and Jia mend broken bones and broken pasts. Their scars remain, but their measure is finally taken in lives saved, not lives erased. "We chased shadows... and found our light not in hiding, but in building this." — Kalima Chileshe, Sanctuary Dawn

She muttered again, her voice laced with relief but then, a soft growl made her eyes snap open and what she saw shocked her..... .......... But it was also the beginning of a new life.

Eran mis tres peores pesadillas. Max, Ryder y Callum. Max tenía unos llamativos ojos verde esmeralda y un cabello negro despeinado que le caía con naturalidad sobre la frente, lo que le otorgaba un irresistible encanto de chico malo. Además, tenía tatuajes en los brazos y el cuello. Ryder también tenía atractivos ojos verde esmeralda como Max, una mandíbula cincelada, un rostro perfectamente esculpido y poseía un encanto ligeramente rudo. Aunque Callum tenía ojos verdes como los demás, su cabello era castaño, a diferencia de ellos. Había una palabra para describir a Callum: playboy universal. Él era tranquilo y reservado, pero mientras Max y Ryder siempre estaban ocupados haciendo de mi vida un infierno en la manada, él sólo se preocupaba por la próxima chica que llevaría a su cama esa semana.

Humanity ended the world. The System just watched. Yin Zhou was broken long before the apocalypse. A ghost in his own skin—unloved, unnoticed, forgotten. When the sky tore and the dead began to walk, it wasn’t salvation that reached for him. It was the voice. [System Integration Complete] Welcome, Candidate. Contract Bound: Demon-Type – Blood Warlock Primary Link: Entity [Lilith] – Designation: Temptress-Class, Tier-6 Warlord (Infernal Plane) Power doesn’t come free. And this System doesn’t offer choices—only commands. Yin Zhou awakens to a world where pain grants experience, souls are currency, and madness is evolution. Guided by Lilith, his demonic interface and bound succubus, the Demon System feeds him quests soaked in blood, missions steeped in cruelty, and upgrades that demand sacrifice. But the deeper he obeys, the less human he becomes. Kill. Consume. Ascend. The rules are simple. The cost is everything. Now a Blood Warlock, Yin Zhou becomes a vessel for carnage. The more he levels up, the louder the whispers grow—System alerts merging with delusions. Lilith claims to serve, but her smile hides centuries of damnation. And the System? It watches. It waits. It wants him broken. This isn’t a story of survival. It’s a descent. A transformation. A warlock forged in hellfire, led by a System that thrives on the ruin of souls. Humanity can burn. Yin Zhou is leveling up.

***“Drakon—” “Say it again,” I growled, biting the lobe of her ear. Her real name for me, the one she’d whispered the night we'd spent together in New Orleans—not “Dragon,” but the Creole curse that meant storm-bringer. She gasped, her hips grinding against me. “Asshole—” I groaned, capturing her mouth once more. The kiss was a match to kerosene, igniting a fire that threatened to consume us both. Her hands fisted in my hair, lips parting with a gasp I swallowed whole, a taste of lemongrass and rebellion. She tasted like rage and every bad decision I’d ever craved—and Dios mío (My God), I was drowning in her. *** --- In the swamp-rotted heart of Alabama, Drucilla Drakes survives by two rules: stay silent, stay scarred, and never let Louise—her Bible-thumping, belt-wielding captor—catch her hoping for more. But when a schoolyard ambush leaves her bleeding under a stranger’s leather jacket, invisibility becomes a death sentence. Enter Dragon Morales, New Orleans’ most notorious runaway—a cartel prince turned outlaw mechanic with gasoline-stained knuckles and a bounty on his head. He doesn’t do heroics; he does survival. But when he finds Dru in a ditch, her back lashed raw and eyes blazing hellfire, he sees a mirror of his own damned soul. And he can’t look away. Their bond is a lit fuse. Dragon’s father—Colombia’s cartel kingpin—wants Dru dead. Louise, armed with voodoo rituals and the wrath of Marinette, the loa who feasts on chaos, wants her broken. The only allies? The Lou Nwa, a bayou biker gang trading in bullets and black magic, and Papa Legba, the crossroads spirit who offers Dru a deal: “Her soul or yours.” But the bayou’s traps are relentless: - Dragon’s father hunts his son with a price on his head. - Big Danni, Dru’s estranged uncle and Lou Nwa leader, demands loyalty as his gang fractures. - Marinette’s magic twists allies into puppets, their strings slick with swamp rot. And then there’s Dragon—hands that mend engines and break bones, lips that taste like whiskey and run. He swears he’s too ruined to love her. Dru knows she’s too shattered to let him. But in the swamp’s choking heat, where bullets sing and loas whisper, desire is a grenade neither one can dodge. As they blaze through the Deep South’s underbelly—cursed bayous, cartel blood feuds, and safehouses reeking of betrayal—they’ll face more than bullets. Dark magic seeps into old wounds. Family secrets unravel like nooses. And the line between protector and predator shatters. Dru doesn’t need saving. She needs fire. And Dragon? He’s got a lighter, a death wish, and a heart that won’t quit beating for her. **Warning:** This is not a fairytale. It’s bayou smoke and switchblade kisses, saints and sinners colliding where the road meets the ruin. Contains graphic violence, explosive passion, and a love story that burns hotter than a Molotov in a meth lab. Will they raze the South to ashes? Or become the sacrifice the crossroads demands?

In a cold, desolate village where warmth was but a forgotten dream, life teetered on the edge of survival. The villagers huddled in their tiny wooden houses, subsisting on strange, pale fish drawn from the icy depths. There was no food, no water—only ice and despair. As hunger gnawed at their sanity, desperation turned the villagers into monsters. They broke into the home of a woman with child, driven by starvation and madness. Yet, the story did not end there. It is said that the child she carried crawled back from the depths of hell, wreathed in fire and vengeance. His return brought the village to its knees, unleashing wrath upon those who betrayed their humanity. The villagers told the story in hushed whispers: the boy who opened the gates of hellfire.

"On the day Heaven judged her wrongly, she chose to burn it down." She is the Queen of the Forbidden Realm — a woman with crimson lips, midnight-black hair, icy blue eyes, and a heart shattered by fate. Once cursed by the gods to be nothing more than a “sacrifice” to uphold the world, she returned their cruelty with hellfire. In a land where beauty is a weapon and vengeance is power, she bows to no one— Except perhaps to him: the silent man with glacial eyes, who dared to say, "If you're going to burn Heaven... don't forget to take me with you."

In the grand citadel of the Empire, where witch-hunters prowl the marble halls and curses are common as rain, Cainan—a witch hunting Bloodhunter bound to chains of destruction—is just trying to keep his life simple. That is, until he “marries” Lynzelle, a mysterious woman with a scythe forged from something not-quite-of-this world… because she isn’t. She’s from Hell. The arrangement is simple: pretend to be happily married so Lynzelle can walk among the living without the Empire’s blade at her throat. Easy enough—if you ignore the constant bickering, demonic side-eyes, and the growing suspicion from their fellow hunters. But while they banter and fight side-by-side, something worse brews beneath the soil. Witches are beginning to gather. They’re attempting to birth forgotten gods through stolen, unborn god-larvae—living cocoons of cosmic divinity. Mythic beasts once thought long dead are returning, corrupted by dark blessings and driven mad by purpose. As the false marriage becomes tangled in real danger, Cainan begins to question if Lynzelle is only running from Hell… or if Hell itself is following her. And maybe—just maybe—he’s starting to like the way her hellfire burns. Until it starts to burn everything else, too.

Alex Mercer never thought his life would end on a rainy night, skidding off a slick highway in his beat-up car. But death wasn't the end; it was just the beginning of his nightmare. Waking up in the fiery depths of hell, Alex faced Lucifer himself, a devilish grin plastered across the fallen angel's face. "You were destined for eternal torment," Lucifer said, his voice smooth as silk yet carrying the weight of countless damnations. "But I have a proposition for you." The deal was simple yet horrifying. If Alex wanted a second chance at life, he had to rid the Earth of Lucifer's escaped minion demons who had broken their chains and now wreaked havoc among the living. The reward? A ticket back to hell, but this time as Lucifer's lieutenant rather than a prisoner.

Yet as Alex fights to send demons back to hell, he begins to question the true cost of the deal. What will remain of his soul when the last demon falls? And can he trust Lucifer, the Prince of Lies, to keep his word?
