When the gods erased his homeland from existence, Astha emerged as the sole survivor—scarred, flame-bound, and remembered only by the ash beneath his feet. Branded by divinity’s cruelty and haunted by a forgotten past, he now walks the ruins of a sacred world with a single purpose: to burn down the heavens that dared to rewrite fate. Bound to him is Smritidhaara, a cursed chain-sickle forged from the memories of the erased—an extension of Astha’s rage and sorrow. But when he crosses paths with Luv, a thunderborn exile from the celestial realm, their fates intertwine in a war neither of them yet understand. As buried truths awaken and mythic beasts rise from divine prisons, Astha and Luv must confront ancient gods, dead empires, and a reality that refuses to stay sealed. With every step, the fire grows. The thunder sharpens. And the gods begin to remember what they tried so hard to forget. This is not a story of heroes. It is the beginning of a reckoning.

A CURSE — A tale of secrets, love, betrayal, and destiny. Stories — many have heard them, read them, even lived them. But this… this is a tale unheard. A tale woven with shadows, secrets, and half-truths — where reality blurs and deception dances in plain sight. A tale from a world unlike any other: the enchanted realm of Seven Fairylands. 1. Frosthevan 2. Blushing Beauty Land 3. Sunflower Land 4. Crimson Cove 5. Skyland 6. Iceland 7. Lunaria Noir At first glance, a realm of beauty and magic. But behind its royal grace lie stains of blood and betrayal. In the heart of this world is Celeste, a pure and innocent fairy destined to become the Queen of Frosthevan. Unaware of the treachery surrounding her, she is ensnared in a grand conspiracy. And at the center of it all — Caelum, a mysterious soul who poses as a pixie, but is truly a fairy, burning with a hunger for power and control over the Fairylands. While Caelum chases a force that could make her invincible, her lies catch the eye of the wise Mother Fairy. But instead of punishing Caelum, the Mother curses Celeste — to protect the realm from what she sees as an impending doom. Betrayed, cursed, and torn between love and truth, Celeste rises in rebellion. She chooses love over fate — and steps into the human world in search of Caelum. But what is the secret only Caelum and the Mother Fairy know? Is Caelum truly the villain? Or is there another hidden truth waiting to be uncovered? A curse. A love story born in the shadows. A journey across worlds. Celeste must uncover the buried truths of the Fairylands — secrets that could shatter everything. Will her innocence survive the truth? Will she ever find the real Caelum — or only more lies? “A Curse” promises to keep you questioning until the very last chapter — How many secrets can one soul carry? Who’s truly right… and who’s devastatingly wrong?

"You’re ours," Varen whispered, his voice a velvet threat, "and we don’t share unless it’s with each other." I was never supposed to matter. An omega raised in the shadows, hidden behind my warrior family's shame, I only ever wanted to survive. Maybe, if I was lucky, find love with someone like me— someone quiet. Gentle. Unseen. But the moon had other plans. And under its eerie blue glow, three impossibly powerful, dangerously beautiful Alphas—triplets— claimed me as their mate. Varen. The charming firebrand with a wicked tongue and a sugarcane smile. Kiel. The silent forest poet who sings to wolves and kisses like moonlight. Thorne. The battle-scarred leader who doesn’t believe in fate... yet burns when I walk away. They were meant to lead the pack. I was meant to be nothing. Now I’m caught between them — between chaos and devotion, between savage protection and secret longing. I should have run the night they called me "mate." But when my bloodline reveals a rare power the world thought extinct, I become the key to a storm that could tear our world apart. Betrayal bleeds through every shadow. My family sold me. My enemies want to own me. And love? It was never supposed to look like this. But maybe fate didn’t get it wrong. Maybe I was never made for one mate. Maybe I was made for them all.

Death was supposed to be the end. It wasn't. He had conquered the martial world as the legendary Blood God Energy—a master strategist whose name struck fear into enemies across the land. But even legends fall when those closest to them drive the knife deepest. Betrayed by the very lord he served, he died thinking his story was over. He was wrong. Reborn as Aslan, the fifteen-year-old crown prince of the fallen Maran Kingdom, he awakens to find his royal blood has become a death sentence. Enslaved by the very nobles who destroyed his homeland, he's thrust into the brutal gladiatorial arenas—not for glory or freedom, but for their twisted entertainment. They don't just want him to die; they want to preserve his corpse as a trophy, a taxidermied reminder of a kingdom's extinction. But they've made one fatal miscalculation. The body may be that of a scrawny prince, but the mind belongs to a master who has crawled back from death itself. Armed with memories of two lifetimes and an unbreakable will to live on his own terms, he'll transform from prey to predator. Because this time, he won't just survive the game of power and betrayal. He'll rewrite the rules entirely. In a world that sees him as nothing more than entertainment, how far will a dead man walking go to reclaim his throne?

When angels fell, the world learned death. Once, heaven and earth were one. Immortal, peaceful, and untouched by violence—until the twin sons of the Archangel Bariel were born. One, Auriel, shone with kindness. The other, Samael, was consumed by shadow. His rebellion shattered the divine order and unleashed death upon the world. Now, centuries later, the echoes of his name bring fire and ruin once more. Ray, the son of a tribal chief, is left for dead after his homeland is annihilated by Samael's black-cloaked army. Scarred, broken, and hunted, he awakens with only a single promise left to keep: to avenge the blood of his people. Together with Caleb, his fierce and loyal otter-spirit companion, Ray sets out on a journey through hostile lands, buried secrets, and divine conspiracies. But the deeper they travel, the clearer it becomes: Samael’s return is not a myth. And Ray's blood might carry a forgotten power the heavens fear. Divine blood. Mortal rage. And a war that will awaken the fallen once more.
