The Testaments The Sequel To The Handmaid'S Tale

Five strangers arrive from different worlds—each carrying secrets, scars, and no idea what binds them together. Until the arc calls to them. An elemental force, older than them. A legacy buried beneath silence. And a destiny none of them asked for. As strange events unfold and danger closes in, they begin to change—each touched by a different force of nature. But power never comes without a cost. Enemies lurk in shadows. The past begins to stir. And if they don’t unite in time, the arc may tear them apart. This is the rise of something ancient. This is Arcbound.

His eyes sparkled with determination as he envisioned his future: growing stronger, embarking on thrilling adventures, facing unimaginable challenges, and even confronting deadly trials. With his goal set, he rose to train. How long will this mortal’s journey last? Will a grand legend be written? Or will his fate be nothing more than a tragic tale? IG: @great.daoofspace

An Epic Tale of Gods, Creation, and Betrayal In a realm beyond time, where stars are born from breath and worlds are shaped by will, Bhravum, the God of Gods, reigns supreme. With unmatched knowledge won by sacrificing half his soul, he forged the Five Realms—heavenly Zephyra, the angelic skies of Elysera, the battleground of Valekar, mortal Earth, and the dark abyss of Nerakhul. At his side stands Freyuma, a cosmic being of warmth and magic, mother of nature, and the lifeblood of all existence. Together, they maintain divine order with the help of loyal guardians: Suya, the Sun God; Sandhy, the light of life; Chayum, the Moon’s keeper; Saynuma, the warrior-minister; and Alraz, protector of the heavens. But beneath even the deepest realm, in a place lost to time and light, something ancient begins to stir. Vuyamin—once a god, now a monstrous serpent of void and venom—was cast out for daring to steal the divine throne. Imprisoned beneath creation, his hatred has only grown. Now, whispers of his return reach the stars. As the balance of the universe begins to crack, an ancient prophecy resurfaces. The gods must prepare for a war not just of power, but of destiny—because the greatest threat to creation… was once part of it.

In a world full of magic, where the stars determine your beginning, and also end,

Under the sacred tree, beneath the veil of night, Shailya encounters Vahalla—the one destined to reshape his purpose. In this universe, all beings possess the divine powers of gods and deities; some have mastered them, while others remain unaware of their potential. A never-ending war rages between the forces of Light and Darkness, and the only being capable of restoring balance—the Rakkan—remains imprisoned. Now, the second-most powerful entity in existence, Vahalla, bears the burden of protecting Prithvi, the only planet with the potential to revive the universe. But he cannot do it alone. To fulfill his mission, he needs a disciple—someone destined for greatness. That disciple is Shailya Mahoraga. This is the first volume of The Tale of Diwankula: The Genesis.

After the flames, there were embers. And from those embers, she chose something the crown never offered—peace. The rebellion has ended, but the kingdom is far from healed. Elira, once heir to a cursed throne, must now choose how to rebuild a world scarred by centuries of magic and betrayal. Beside her stands the man she was fated to destroy—but whom she instead chose to love. As ancient magic begins to slumber again, and the people watch with wary hope, Elira faces her greatest challenge yet: to rule without ruling, to lead without blood, and to protect a peace no crown ever taught her to keep. “Crown of Embers” is a soft-burning epilogue to “Crown of Ashes”—a tale of healing, hard love, and what happens after you survive the prophecy meant to end you.

The world of Norvak isn't for the weak. A land where might makes right isn't for the faint of heart. A land where different species battle for supremacy and the defeated either enslaved or exterminated. The continent of Revix has witnessed the rise and fall of many species. With a relatively peaceful period being established a little over ten thousand years ago. The result of this peace is the separation of different species. The land of humans, Cyntros, covered most of the central part of the continent. The lands in the north, Aterix, gave shelter to the elves and other creatures of light. The south held the creatures of darkness and it's original name, Rimul, long forgotten. A land that the humans had long dubbed, The Darklands. To the east was an endless desert where the banished and hated lay their bones. A place where nature threatens both predator and prey. Yet most feared of all was the west, a land of giants and titans. Where mountains vanish and valleys form from the movements of it's inhabitants. On the edges of The Darklands, the greed of men sends a group of hunters to their demise. The lone survivor, Milas, is turned into one of the ruling species of The Darklands, a vampire. With a past clouded in mystery and an uncertain future, Milas does all he can to survive. With the potential to become more than he could have ever imagined, Milas faces all threats that come his way. "The right to live is a privilege that only the powerful have access to. I don't appreciate others having that privilege over my life. And I'll do what I must to earn my right!"

Hello! My name is Aman Vasuki. I belong to the Royal Family of Vasuki Clan which is the Clan of Shapeshifting Serpents. Currently, I am working as a caretaker of a human boy named Mei Wei. Why? Because I am going to kill his father…. Aman's life was like a dream. He belonged to the Royal Family of a Clan of Shapeshifting Serpents. He had a loving family, supportive friends and riches of the world. All in all, he lived a dream like life. But one day this dream got shattered… On the night of blood moon, when he was stripped off his powers, four humans ruined him. They took what was most precious to him…. But, now he is back to get his revenge on the very people that snatched his world from him. But why does Mei Wang's son always give him a look which is filled with love? And why does his heart suddenly start feeling calm when he is close to Mei Wei? Excerpt: The cold wind was blowing with a swoosh sound. The area was dead silent despite four people being there and a fifth pair of eyes looking at them. Aman's upper human body was glistening with a little sweat, Meanwhile his lower body was turned into a fiery red snake's. The golden pattern on it shining under the moonlight. In this snake tail, he was holding a trembling human. He was trembling with fear of death. Aman brought him closer and looked at him closely. He turned back, his long red hair blowing with the wind, suddenly he laughed out loud but this laugh was not heartily but bone chilling, "I am so happy to see the fear of death in your eyes, SAGE SAETANG!" He laughed again, "I think this look of fear suits all three of you. You know, when I killed your friend Melvin he was even crying and even begging me to spare him. Unfortunately, death is inevitable. Is it not?" Aman asked Sage, as he brought him closer and rubbed his hair with his hand like a child. He was smiling but his eyes were filled with killing intent. The rub resulted in Sage's scalp becoming numb, he furiously nodded, "of course his pathetic twin brother did not fare any better. I did not get the feeling of originality, you know." Aman pouted, showing his dissatisfaction, "wailing and gaping like a fish out of water. He even offered me that he would give all of his properties to me? But what use could I have of that. This look of fear provides me with much satisfaction than any riches in the world." "And now, now the same look is in your eyes. I bet you can see death standing somewhere. But why are you not pleading? At least cry a little," Aman told Sage whose mouth was still sealed. Cold flashes in his eyes and he started tightening the coiling of his tail around Sage's body, "forget it. Do as you please. After all it's your own death. But don't blame me if Mei Wang cries louder and surpasses you when I kill him." He showed a smile that made Sage's stomach flip, "I can't wait anymore to kill-" "AMAN!!" The shout was loud enough but Aman could even feel the emotions hidden in it, shock, betrayal, disbelief and extreme hurt. His whole demeanour fell on the ground, he also changed back into a complete human. Sage also fell on the hard ground with him. Aman looked up and there he was. Standing in front of him was Mei Wei…. **** How would Mei Wei react? And will their relationship survive this? What did those four people do to destroy Aman's life? Why does he want to take revenge? Is it possible for 4 mere humans to ruin a supernatural being? Or someone entirely unexpected is the mastermind behind?

The church says they were chosen. But no one remembers choosing. The sermons. The rituals. The promise of ascension. Belief only goes so far when the gods stop answering. In a forgotten village sealed by scripture and fog, three teenagers carry out their duties beneath the watchful eye of the Church. Isaac walks the same roads every day, but finds himself forgetting where they lead. Isabelle studies the rites in hopes of staying close to her sister, who’s been chosen for something higher. Ian pretends not to hear the whispers in the walls. They’ve been taught not to ask questions. Taught to smile when the lanterns dim. Taught to celebrate those who vanish. The village is small. The rules are older than language. And somewhere beneath the altar, something breathes -something older than the Light they worship, something hungrier. As the rituals grow stranger and the rules shift without warning, the trio begins to uncover cracks in the world they thought they understood — and the deeper truth beneath their devotion. What do you do when your faith is a lie? And what’s left of you after the soul is given away? The Church of Light promises salvation. But salvation has a cost. And not all gods forgive. A slow, dreamlike horror about memory, obedience, and the gods with crooked hands. There is no escape. But there is remembrance. Sometimes.
