"I WILL MAKE THEM ALL REGRET THE DAY THEY MET ME! I WILL MAKE THEM WISH THEY WERE NEVER BORN! AND I WILL MAKE THEM HATE THE DAY THEY THOUGHT OF BETRAYING ME!" "You will, Sweetie. And I'll help you with that..." Those were the last words Avery spoke and heard before passing out in her bloody red wedding gown, on the same day she was supposed to marry her boyfriend from senior high school. ~~ Avery McCallum, the sole heiress and president of the McCallum Group of Companies, had her whole family wiped out on her wedding day. Framed for her grandfather's murder and stripped of her position, Avery vows to take revenge on those who wronged her. But her powerless state seems to mock her determination.

With her newfound status, Avery systematically destroys her adversaries, uncovering dark secrets and hidden agendas along the way. But as she navigates the treacherous landscape of her new life, she must confront the truth about her family's past and at the end of it all, come back to him. She owed him after all... ~ EXCERPT Archie's eyes darkened when he saw her stumbling out of the wine cellar, a bottle of wine in one hand and her night robe, in the other. She was literally half naked. "Hey..." her greeting came out in a slur, and that was all he needed to know she was drunk. Very drunk, at that. "Why?" he asked simply, knowing she would interpret his question as she usually did. "I...I visited them today. The flowers on their stones were already wilted and...and...it broke me. I wanted to be happy and at the same time, I wanted to cry," Avery replied, inhaling short wisps of air before she continued, "Then I found the cellar." "Did it work?" She shook her head slowly in reply, lifting her head up in time to see a mischievous smirk curl on his lips. "Don't be sad, Baby girl. I happen to know a way to make you cry and keep you excited at the same time," he said. "Really?" "Wanna try it, Mama?" Avery nodded, slowly but firmly as he closed the distance between them. As he promised, she did cry...in pleasure. Note: This book is participating in the Cupid's Quill Contest. Your support is highly appreciated!

For countless centuries, rumors have persisted about mysterious group deaths—instances where clusters of people perish without any known cause. These occurrences are not confined to just the past but reach into the future, and not just within our world but in others we've yet to discover. Some speculate these groups are reincarnated into different realities, transported into fantasies as part of some unknown cycle. But what lies behind these unexplained events? And if those who died were truly reborn elsewhere, is this new existence a gift—or something far more sinister?

Seven Realms, One Egg, Two Hearts. In ancient times, there lay a story that was condemned to be chained in secrecy—an unthinkable era was brewed by continuous discord among the inhabitants of the seven realms, blinding them to the cruelty of war. From there, the era's aroma lingered, and darkness dominated both the realms of humans and elementals. But a streak of hope appeared in the sky. In times of crisis, a glowing orb emerged from the depths of the Wyrmpirean seas. People from all seven realms were revitalized and rejoiced. Mythical beasts of Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Spirit, and Shadow came to light. Their power grew through the alchemy of elements and light, and this glowing orb turned out to be an ethereal egg. It was the vital force of the great Luxian beast, destined to be the sentinel of Wyrmpire. However, the poison of greed for power once again took hold of one of the human leaders. In an age when the seven realms coexisted in delicate equilibrium, the harmonious symphony of magic and mythical creatures was abruptly silenced by Gat of Luwalhat'ti's insatiable thirst for dominion. He ordered the capture of the elemental beasts and exploited their essence. Relentlessly pursuing the fabled Mythical Egg for his own self-indulgent desires, he caused this primordial artifact—whispered to possess unimaginable power—to shatter the peace and plunge the world into devastating war, reigniting the embers of chaos from the past. The realms became more divided than ever. Sinagthala, the first to succumb to his ruthless conquest, bears the scars of his ambition. Emir Akkainu, in a desperate act of self-sacrifice, secured the egg at a heart-wrenching cost—his own son, Karrim. Now, Karrim, burdened by a curse yet bestowed with enigmatic abilities, embarks on a perilous quest for vengeance against the Gat. His path intertwines with that of Klarra, Gat's daughter, who, disillusioned by her father's tyranny, yearns for peace and justice. Amidst the chaos and despair of a war-torn world, an unexpected love blossoms; a fragile beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness. Will they find redemption amidst the ruins of a broken world, or will the insatiable hunger for power and the scars of the past consume them all, as history repeats itself? The convergence of Karrim and Klarra's journey is set to test the very limits of their courage, loyalty, and love.

Now, Geralt journeys to Coldcave to reunite with his lifelong comrade. But as old enemies stir and buried secrets resurface, the question looms: after 19 years, will there be pure peace—or pure war?

"Game of Pawns" is a psychological thriller set in a world where superpowers are the norm, but one man’s intelligence and knowledge of the future are his most powerful weapons. The protagonist, Vincent Harlow, was once a brilliant strategist working under Hero Corp, a dominant organization led by the number one hero, Zenith, who controls his heroes through mind manipulation. After years of manipulation and cruelty, Vincent was betrayed and forced to commit unspeakable acts, including killing those he cared about. He died as a pawn in Zenith’s game, only to be mysteriously revived, now armed with knowledge of the future and a desire for vengeance. Vincent’s journey in "Game of Pawns" is about reclaiming control and rewriting his story. His goal is to bring down Hero Corp from the shadows, using psychological influence and manipulation while presenting himself as a charismatic ally. With a chess-like strategy, Vincent carefully assembles his pieces, seeking allies who will unknowingly serve his larger plan, while hiding his true nature and intentions behind a mask of charm. His complex relationships, particularly with his childhood friend Mira and others he meets along the way, test the limits of his empathy and morality. The narrative dives deep into themes of revenge, manipulation, ethical dilemmas, and the blurred lines between heroism and villainy. As Vincent moves his pieces against Zenith in this grand game, the story reveals the cost of becoming a monster to fight a monster. "Game of Pawns" is not just a story of revenge but also an exploration of human psychology, influence, and the impact of a corrupted sense of justice. With its slow-burn pacing and intricate character development, the story challenges readers to question what it means to truly win when the stakes are not just lives but the very essence of one's soul.
