Portrait Of An Unknown Woman A

This world is not what you think it is. Darkness is everywhere—ghouls, banshees, vampires, werewolves, wendigos, succubi, hellhounds, djinn, skinwalkers, and more. These creatures are real, lurking in the shadows where light never reaches. Humans and their fears are their prey. Human killers fall under the law, handled by the police. But what about these creatures that dwell in the darkness, feeding on humans and their fears? That’s where I come in. I hunt them down and bring justice to the dead. I call myself Raze. Why? You ask? Because it sounds cool. Isn’t that reason enough to take it as my name? Hey, hey… wait, there’s a twist. I’m not an ordinary human—I’m half demon, half human. But you want to know why I’m helping humans? Simple. I just want to help them. That’s all.

But worst of all— whispers around of the dead walking among the living. They said dead men tell no tales—until you force them silent. .......

She thought her future was set: a husband on the way, with gold, silver, pearls, lands, mansions, manors, and accounts she could scarcely keep track of. She had it all. But one fateful day, everything changed. Her head spun, her legs buckled, and then—darkness enveloped her. When she finally awakened, a circle of concerned faces surrounded her (her body) —friends and family, all eager for her recovery. Yet something felt amiss. When the prince arrived, Liz gushed, blushed, and her lips pursed as she shyly batted it at the prince. (Liz: Ew...) (???: So, you do like the prince) (Liz: What prince? Who?) As Liz opened her eyes again, a spiders crept through the damp wall. Her luxurious clothes had vanished, replaced by rags, and her hair lay matted and dirty. "A prison cell," she thought. Her voice quivered on the brink of tears, "My luxurious life." (???: About the prince...) "What could he possibly have to complain about?” she snarked. "..." When your world unravels in the most bewildering ways, do you ignore it or seek the truth? And when those answers come, will you accept them, or will they shatter everything you believe? **Presenting Liz, the first novel of yours truly for fun.** Follow her on her journey—a thrilling quest where adventure and budding romance await amidst danger and mystery. ----‐---‐--‐------‐--------‐-‐--‐------------------------ Cover from: ChatGpt **and, a word, from the author. a bit of support is always welcome if I should continue this or not.

Amelia wasn’t always Amelia. In a past life, she was a young man who chose apathy and indifference, silently recording an atrocity without intervening. For this, a secretive organization exacted a punishment as severe as it was symbolic: transforming the perpetrators into what they despised most. Turned into a woman through a dark ritual, Amelia finds herself trapped in a body she never asked for, her mind besieged by new impulses and emotions driven by an ancient and perverse power. Sold to Jason, a powerful yet enigmatic CEO, Amelia faces a heartbreaking emotional contradiction. The new sensations and desires implanted by the ritual drive her to fall in love with her master, but memories of who she once was haunt her, and the constant internal struggle threatens to consume her. Amid her personal turmoil, she discovers that both Jason and the organization's leader, Inmaculada, are disciples of a ruthless and ancient master—a sorcerer capable of altering the destiny of those who fall under his control. As she attempts to rebuild her life and prove she's more than just a pretty face, Amelia is caught in a complex power struggle between Inmaculada and Jason’s interests, family conflicts, and the master's demands. Conspiracies intensify when the mentor discovers her unexplored magical potential, demanding her surrender at any cost. To buy time, Jason and Inmaculada resort to drastic measures, transforming Amelia’s assailants into women through the same dark ritual in hopes of diverting the master’s attention. In a world where magic, manipulation, and power struggles are the norm, Amelia must find her true strength to survive and decide who she wants to be in a reality that constantly redefines her.

This is an original story. 1. English is not my forte so please be kind and guide me ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ ALSO! Because of my lame naming skill, many people kinda confused with the use of 'Frozen Heart'.

THIS IS THE FIRST NOVEL I MADE, SO IF THE PLOT KIND OF NOT MAKING SENSE OR TOO RUSHED, I PLEAD FOR KIND READERS' UNDERSTANDING. (#^.^#) I am REALLY a newbie writer here. (Ｔ▽Ｔ) 2. This Story might cause a lot of heartache, but the ending will be Happy! 3. Yes, this is mature and smutish story which contains sexual abuse or such so extreme caution is needed!
