First Of House Of Night

Embers Of The Night

As Mia drove through the bustling city streets, her heart began to race—not from the traffic, but from the chilling knowledge that a bomb had been planted in her car. The news had come through a frantic message on her phone, a warning from an anonymous source that sent her spiraling into a state of panic. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she fought to maintain control. With every red light, her dread deepened. She knew that the moment she stopped the car, the bomb would detonate. The thought of leaving her Lysander behind filled her with a profound sense of sorrow. They had so many plans, dreams of a future together that now felt impossibly distant. With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Lysander’s number. “Mi Amore?” Lysander’s voice came through, laced with concern. “What’s wrong?” Mia smiled sadly, he could always tell when something was bothering her and yet she was going to leave him. “Lysander , I need you to listen to me,” she said, her voice quivering. “ You’re a very great person. I never thought I would find this type of love. I only thought love like this was just a fairytale. But you….you….” Mia paused taking in a deep breath. “Anna? What’s happening? Is something wrong? You’re scaring me.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned her head towards the backseat where the bomb sat. How could she tell this to Lysander? She was going to die and leave him. She was going to leave him alone with the thoughts and dreams they shared. Silence hung heavy on the line, and Anna could almost hear the rapid beating of her heart. “I just found out…… I… I don’t have much time,” she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I’m so sorry, love. I won’t be able to see you again.” “Don’t say that! We’ll figure this out! Just tell me what’s happening? ” he urged, desperation creeping into his tone. “No, please, just listen. It’s too late now. I love you so much, and I want you to remember that. You’ve made my life so beautiful. I wish I could hold you one last time.” Her voice broke as she fought to keep her composure. “Anna, don’t—” “I have to go, Lysander . Just know that I’m always with you.” With that, she hung up, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She looked at the cliff ahead of her and stepped on the gas, the car racing towards the cliff. ************* In the heart of a bustling college town, twenty-year-old Anna Mia Harper is juggling classes, bills, and a growing sense of despair as an orphan navigating life on her own. Desperate for cash, she stumbles upon a peculiar job listing: a grave cleaner and companion for the dead at the local cemetery, promising a month’s rent for just one night of work. Excited by the prospect, Anna Mia arrives under the eerie glow of the moon, ready to face whatever the night may bring. But when she encounters a mysterious man lounging atop a tombstone—one who bears a striking resemblance to a deceased local legend—her heart races. Is he a ghost, a trick of the light, or something more sinister?

Tunnel Of The Night

When a sudden quarantine leaves them stranded on an isolated campus, seven brilliant, parentless students of the prestigious Hisar Institute must make an uneasy peace with their situation. Arlt, a Renaissance philology student and gifted linguist, narrates their tale—a story shrouded in secrets as ancient as the campus itself. United by their orphaned pasts and exceptional linguistic abilities, they linger in Suare Kairos, a grim four-story dormitory overshadowed by the silent gaze of the Aeternolis statue. Life in quarantine is quiet until they stumble upon a hidden tunnel beneath the library, a passage rumored to have sheltered professors fleeing the horrific Great Genocide Era. What begins as a curious exploration soon reveals a legacy of betrayal, forbidden knowledge, and concealed atrocities that refuse to remain buried. Inside the tunnel, the students find relics of a forgotten resistance—ancient texts, obscure manuscripts, and encrypted journals that point to a grim legacy the Institute sought to erase. As they decode the cryptic writings, the students are pulled into a web of secrets that threatens to unravel not only the history of their institution but also their very identities. Each discovery comes at a cost, forcing them to confront questions about loyalty, survival, and the fine line between knowledge and power. Bound by a shared past yet divided by dark ambitions, they must decide: how far will they go to preserve the truths they’ve unearthed? And, when knowledge becomes dangerous, is it worth dying—or even killing—for? A tale of mystery, academic rivalry, and haunting secrets, The Scholars of Aeternolis explores the weight of history on those who seek to uncover it and the cost of pursuing forbidden knowledge.

Shadow of the First Sin

Valerian, an outcast in his own home of Elyria, a celestial realm where immortal avians live, is anything but ordinary. Born from the forbidden union of a mortal man and an avian woman, Valerian is a half-breed, bearing the wings of an avian and the soul of a human. For this, he has been shunned his entire life. In Elyria, avians live eternally, their wings symbolize their divine nature. Valerian's mother, upon his birth, was banished to the mortal plane of Eldoria—a land teeming with diverse races and cultures. This punishment was not just for their union but because of a prophecy foretelling that a child born from such a forbidden bond would bring the end of times. Stripped of her celestial essence, Valerian’s mother was forced to live among mortals. Valerian grew up in isolation, his childhood marked by loneliness and fear. Seen as an omen, he was kept locked away, his every action scrutinized. Viewing Elyria as a prison, Valerian rebelled, hoping to be cast out and find freedom. Yet, no matter his actions, the avians refused to banish him, ignoring his desperate attempts to escape. Determined to break free, Valerian takes a drastic gamble that finally grants him his desired freedom, but at a steep price. Now that Valerian has become mortal, he faces a whole new set of challenges. Struggling with an identity crisis, he must discover who he truly is: a human, an avian, or something entirely different. The story delves into the rich and varied world of Eldoria, introducing a host of mortal residents such as elves, the fey, beastfolk, wizards and witches, dragons, and many more.
