Shadow Garden Zeta

Midnight Shadow

"You know, Hero, your uncle is playing a dangerous game. He wants his useless son, Prince Arin, to become the king of Xarenzia, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen." Hero's expression remained neutral, his eyes never leaving Malum's face. Malum continued, "And it's not just your uncle. Ryker's father, Lord Kael, is also playing a similar game. He wants his son, Ryker, to become the king of Azuraea, and he's willing to eliminate anyone who stands in his way, including Princess Zulin." Hero's eyes narrowed slightly, but he said nothing. Malum's smile grew wider. "But here's the thing, Hero. Your uncle and Lord Kael are working together, at least for now. They plan to attack the king today, on his way Xarenzia." Hero's expression turned slightly grave, his eyes flashing a hint of concern. Malum's tone turned serious. "But what you may not know, Hero, is that your uncle has a backup plan. He's planning to probably eliminate Ryker and his father once he's done using him to take down his targets. And then, he'll marry Princess Astrid to his son, Arin, and secure the alliance between Xarenzia and Azuraea." ***** In a surprising twist, Princess Zulin awakens to find herself in a mysterious realm, unsure if she's dead or alive. With memories of her death still fresh, she's trapped in a surreal nightmare that feels all too familiar - like a lost heroine in a horror movie. She heard a cryptic voice reveal that, she is a living dead, revived by a powerful force in an ethereal world. But with this new existence comes a dark realization: she's no longer the damsel in distress, but a force to be reckoned with - the antagonist in her own twisted tale. With her sister now marrying her supposed fiancé, Zulin's desire for revenge ignites a burning fire within. Torn between getting a second chance to reclaim the throne that was rightfully hers and exacting revenge on those who wronged her, Zulin must decide whether to surrender to the darkness within and forge a new path, or to cling to her former life and risk losing herself forever. Weighing her options, she made her choice. But here is the unsettling truth: making her choice doesn't guarantee control over her fate. The threads of destiny are complex, and the forces of fate seems like they've already set their own plan in motion. She made her choice, but fate has made its own...

Song of the Gardener of Souls [BL]

Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement. As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral. With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be. Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret. When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust. As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side. He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first. ************************************* Updates 3-4 times per week. Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff. When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice. There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy. This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love. ************************************* Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!): Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze. Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan. A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left. But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another. He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else. One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer. Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out. "What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest. "The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it." "Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him. Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again. "I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it." Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you." "I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction. "I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…" "You want what?" "I want more." Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"

In a kingdom threatened by a mysterious disease, Shin, a determined adventurer, finds himself at the heart of a perilous mission. Upon entering a church filled with people suffering from the plague, he learns from a knight named Xinu that the disease is a curse draining the mana from the people, a curse that can be limited but not fully eradicated. This curse, tied to the legendary Korran and the mysterious lotus blooms, could be the key to solving the kingdom's plight. Shin is summoned to the king's palace, where he meets the royal council, including seven captains, and discovers that an artifact known as the "Crystal Sphere of None" has been stolen, vital for the upcoming lotus bloom. The king, aware of the impending danger, tasks Shin with uncovering the truth behind the curse and its connection to the sealed monster, Korran, hidden in the church. Shin and Xinu are sent to investigate further, armed with an old map that reveals the church's many forgotten secret passages. Their search leads them to a cryptic riddle about a hidden way to meet the god, directing them to a mysterious pillar in the church.

Inside, they encounter an ominous empty room with a giant eye, a trap set by the mastermind behind the curse. As they begin to piece together the ancient prophecy, Shin and Xinu realize they are not only up against a dark force tied to the church's past, but also a master manipulator controlling the cursed energy. With the lotus bloom set to absorb all the kingdom's magical energy, the two heroes must now fight to uncover the secrets of the church, prevent the curse's spread, and protect their world from total collapse. The tale weaves a deep mystery, ancient prophecies, and a looming battle between light and dark, with Shin and Xinu at the center of it all, uncovering secrets that could either save or destroy the kingdom.
