Indigo Lantern

The Prince of Light

"When darkness surrounds you, and not even the faintest particle of light remains… when all have lost hope, and the future seems like a distant dream… in that moment, my seeker, you have only two choices: surrender or look within yourself until you find the light you need and become a lantern for the lost." In a world consumed by shadows, where hope is but a distant echo, an ordinary young man is swept by fate into an extraordinary realm. He is no warrior. He is no sage. He has no noble lineage, nor a hidden power. And yet, deep within him, there lies the only spark capable of challenging the eternal night. Noctharn, the King of the Night, has stolen the world’s light, plunging its people into misery and fear. The libraries have been burned to ashes, yet in the most remote corners of the land, forbidden books still whisper secrets. Technology has been stripped away, but the last androids silently guard the remnants of knowledge. Dragons and ancient birds have vanished, hiding in the folds of time. The sun has been banished, and only the Millennial Moon remains, an unwavering witness to the suffering of her children. But even in despair, there are those who resist. Those who remember that true light can never be destroyed—only hidden. Legends speak of a chosen one, a pure soul whose light will restore hope and bring dawn back to the Continent of Eternal Dawn. Yet true royalty is not inherited—it is earned. And before he can rise against the darkness, he must face trials of virtue, learn the meaning of sacrifice, and understand that power does not lie in strength, but in the heart. "If you stop thinking only of yourself and look beyond, you will find what truly matters." "Virtue must be tested in order to shine before evil. Only then can it be recognized—only then can it be feared." "Darkness may fade, but light… light never dies."

Moonglow: Rise of the Destined Luna

Selina gasped for air, her heart racing as her body involuntarily thrashed in her sleep. Her indigo eyes flicked open wide as she choked back a scream. She looked up into Liam's worried face as he wiped away the beads of sweat forming on her brow with a damp cloth. "Lina, this was the longest one yet. Your whimpering and thrashing woke me about 36 minutes ago, and you were already covered in sweat." Liam told her, his voice heavy with concern as he glanced at the clock. Liam ran his hand through his hair. "Please tell me you remember something this time." He asked, almost pleading. Selina shook her head while sitting to look out the window. Over the forest, the orange-pink hue of the sunrise was starting to appear. Selina breathed deeply as she tried to recall something, anything other than the emotions she experienced during her dreams, but as usual, she was unable to. Some dreams were comforting and made her feel warm. Those dreams involved a blonde-haired man with green eyes. The other dreams, much like the current dream, left her full of despair and fear or left her feeling just plain empty. Usually all she could recall of those dreams was fire or blood. Liam stood up, muscles tense as he raised his arms and ran both hands through his thick black hair again, grabbing a fistful which he let fall back as he spoke, "Maybe she was wrong. Or maybe the prophecies were wrong. Maybe we really are Moonglow and not Lunaria. I don't know." Liam sighed deeply, sitting on the edge of his bed and turned to face her again before continuing, "Lina, your dreams are getting worse, and time is running out. You haven't dreamed of him in months. We don't know anything, not really. We just have mom's fairy tales. It's been ten years, maybe our memories are wrong. I... I just wish we had some guidance, something firm." An image of an attractive man with a square jawline, full red lips, deep green eyes and chin-length shaggy blond hair flashed through Selina's mind. She inhaled deeply before speaking, "He's Valentino. We need to get to Red Lake Pack." ********************************************************************* The Lunaria bloodline has been hunted for generations forcing them to live as lone wolves to conceal their identities and ensure the chance to fulfill the prophecy. According to Selina’s mother, Selina Moonglow is the prophesied one. With the disappearance of her mother when she was young, Selina only knows four things: Her dreams will guide her Never reveal their true last name Follow her instincts Her wolf will stay bound until she accepts her mate. ****************************************************************** Selina stood before him, her fated mate. She had dreamt of his scent and his eyes for months now. A warmth crept over her as the flutter deep within her belly increased, almost to the point of breathlessness. He was seated at his desk, studying something with his shaggy blonde hair covering has face as he looked down. Why isn’t he looking up? The mate bond should be forcing his eyes to me... Selina thought. Confused she called his name, “Valentino..” Before she could finish, his cold, hard voice interrupted her, “It’s Alpha Valentino. Get out. I’m busy. Make an appointment.”

The Lantern of Lost Wishes

The Lantern of Lost Wishes Deep in the heart of Luminwood Forest, where the air hums with secrets and fireflies weave trails of forgotten dreams, there is a legend of an ancient lantern that can grant lost wishes. No one knows who made it or why, but those who go looking for it rarely find their way back. For Elyra, the lantern is more than a story. It’s a chance. Haunted by a past she can’t change and a future slipping through her fingers, Elyra sets out to find the lantern, clutching nothing but a faded map and a fragile hope. But the forest is alive. It shifts and listens. Creatures of shadow, known as the Wraithbound, follow her every move, feeding on the desperate wishes of others. Elyra’s only ally is a mysterious stranger with golden eyes and a grin that hides more than it reveals. He’s cursed, dangerous, and far too familiar with the forest’s tricks—and yet, Elyra can’t shake the feeling that he’s the only one who truly understands her. With every step deeper into the woods, Elyra discovers that wishes are never free, and some are lost for a reason. The closer she gets to the lantern, the heavier the cost becomes—secrets unravel, alliances shatter, and the forest itself begins to turn on her. Elyra must decide how far she’s willing to go to reclaim what she’s lost and whether some dreams are better left untouched. Because in the Luminwood, every wish carries a price, and once the lantern’s light finds you, it’s impossible to turn back. A story of longing, sacrifice, and the magic we hold onto when all else fades, The Lantern of Lost Wishes is a journey into a world where dreams flicker like fireflies, and hope is both a blessing and a curse.

The Lantern Bearer

"BASED ON HISTORY" In a world governed by wealth, ambition, and illusion, young Diogenes of Sinope begins a life-altering journey in pursuit of truth. After a scandal involving his father tarnishes his family’s name, Diogenes flees to Athens, where he encounters the enigmatic philosopher Antisthenes. Under his guidance, Diogenes begins to strip away the masks society demands he wear and confronts the uncomfortable truths hidden within himself and the world around him. Through vivid encounters with merchants, beggars, politicians, and philosophers, Diogenes challenges the values of his time, wielding wit and irreverence as his weapons. His journey is marked by struggles to reconcile his disdain for materialism with his lingering fears, his defiance of authority with his longing for purpose, and his relentless pursuit of freedom with the cost of alienation. As he grows from a questioning student into a sharp-tongued cynic, Diogenes sets out to illuminate the lies that enslave humanity—even if it means walking alone through the shadows. With every step, he reshapes what it means to live a virtuous life, leaving a legacy that will echo through the annals of philosophy. "The Lantern Bearer" is a richly detailed and introspective novel that explores the boundaries of freedom, the nature of truth, and the courage required to live authentically. Through Diogenes’ story, it asks timeless questions: What is the cost of honesty in a world of deception? And is freedom worth it?. 35 new chs/week

Entangled Hearts: A Billionaire's Second Chance

Natalie Collins is a career woman, and she has worked hard for what she has today. She resides in a rich and active city, substituting her painful past. Such is the life of the protagonist, who is immediately thrown for a loop when she comes across Scott Foreman, a charming billionaire with whom she seems to have shared a past. In a bid to recapture the past and also make amends for his misdeeds, Scott returns to his city after years of empire construction. A meeting between two of them in the framework of a highly publicized charity event causes a storm in the soul of Natalie. The passion between them is remembered, as is the anguish of betrayal by Scott, whom she loved but who was killed by Chris. Although she is much wiser than that, Natalie agrees to be business partners with Scott since she thinks that the business aspect will prevent her from ‘losing her head’.  As they both come together and start working, they realize that they are healing each other sexually and slowly start regaining their married relationship. Scott becomes honest about his sins and seems to want to be a new man, but Natalie cannot forget what she felt for him and, at the same time, cannot let him use her. Indeed, for the purpose of trying to get some sort of clarity, she returns to the family home, where she goes over her interactions with both Scott and David, her current boyfriend, who is present, affectionate, and supportive. Convinced that she needs to confront herself, Natalie has truthful dialogues with the two men. She tells Scott her feelings of fear and hope and thus creates a foundation on which to restore confidence, and she discusses with David her weaknesses. Finally, Natalie makes her decision to forgive Scott and to try in her newfound relationship to get a fresh start for the two of them. Reconnecting as a couple, they have to deal with Scott’s jealous ex-girlfriend and the stress of Natalie’s high-stakes job. However, despite all this, they stand together, help, and, as a result, become much more energetic. Scott does not cease to regain Natalie’s trust and confidence in him, and through his patient sincerity, he is able to do it, and their love deepens. One of the prominent narrative motifs is a trip of lovers; the last scene before the credits roll is the moment Scott proposes a marriage to Natalie, and the girl accepts the ring. The union that signifies their love and pledge to each other is their wedding and the vows and contracts that are made and received. As has been seen many times among young parents, they organize the process of child care along with their working responsibilities. This is evident when Scott chooses to avoid work in order to assist Natalie and, in the process, support his expanding family.  Together, they develop new business opportunities, and the family foundation is created to make an adequate contribution with their achievements. The happiness that was perceived on screen—the sweetness of a love that had dreams as its backdrop—was apparent in their friendship. They move to the epilogue, and viewers witness Natalie and Scott in their happy family, still loving each other and still legally married. They are able to look at the barriers they have overcome and the joy in having met each other because the affectionate relationship is more than physical. This stands for love, affection, and, to a certain extent, the permanency of their relationship, which they created. "Entangled Hearts: “A Billionaire’s Second Chance” is a worthy example of an absent or true love story, commitment, and second chances that successfully overcome all of them.
