Books Based On Alnwick Garden

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?"

When the world ends, Yating just wants to graduate. But between her hoarder mom's "useful" stockpile of expired coupon books, her dad's concerning new hobby of staring at walls for fourteen hours straight, and her classmates slowly transforming into gold-flecked, harmony-humming mushroom zombies, she's realizing the survival guide for this apocalypse was never printed; just slowly growing in petri dishes no one bothered to check. Armed with: - A bio lab with one working microscope (RIP Mr. Lin, we barely knew ye) - Mei’s unsettling knack for spotting infected (turns out ballet training catches the half-second lag in their movements) - Wang’s vape mod turned spore detector ("It’s not just a bad habit," he insists) - Ju’s self-taught signal-jamming (and his even more impressive ability to ignore Zhao’s commentary) Zhao’s two actual survival skills: - First aid skills (thanks to his ER nurse mom’s "cheerful" dinner table trauma stories) - Tactical pessimism (his "worst-case scenario" plans are weirdly airtight, and delivered with maximum sarcasm) They’ll either solve the fungal apocalypse or become its next experiment. (Zhao’s already made complaints for both outcomes.) (Updates when the cultures show interesting results)

"Master Sun, your sect is now a well-known sword sect in the northern cultivation world. What do you think of Dean Xu?" "I often tell experts that Dean Xu is my idol. When others were hunting him down, he would find ways to make friends, cooperate with him, and train disciples who had reached the foundation building stage. He would no longer continue to train them and sell them all to other sects. Now his disciples are all over the world, and his people are everywhere." "What do the seniors of the magic sect here think of Dean Xu? He has been hiding his identity and mixing in the magic world for many years..." "Don't talk nonsense, reporter! Our gang leader is the most famous demon in southern Xinjiang. The person you are talking about has nothing to do with him!" "Okay, okay, then I want to ask the head of the Qin Dynasty. The Huanhai Sect is the largest sect in Xize. Xu The dean is secretly in charge of the government, engaging in financial frauds and involving countless sects. Now the creditors are denouncing us outside our venue. How do you respond?" "It's ridiculous. Our leader's surname is not Xu. Besides, we don't have any creditors. All the creditors died in the fight for the ancient cultivation inheritance. Those people outside are just hostile sects who deliberately took the opportunity to mess with us." "But according to our investigation, the ancient cultivation inheritance is a new tomb built by Dean Xu, and the people inside were not all blown to death..." "I'm warning you! This is blatant slander!" "Let's put this question aside for now. What do the Donghuang monsters think of him?" "I want to give birth to his children."-----The dragon girl of the dragon clan said so.
