First Lines Of Horror

Beyond the Silver Linings

Azra Amarante seems to have it all—a family name well-known in high society, a childhood spent in luxury, and a future paved with opportunity. As the youngest daughter of a discreetly wealthy family, her life could be filled with elite parties, designer clothes, and prestigious circles. Her parents are pillars of success: her mother a celebrated fashion designer and her father the owner of a renowned car empire, with siblings who embody ambition and success in various fields. Azra, however, has chosen a different path. Defying expectations, she becomes a teacher at San Miguel University, a humble institution in a quiet neighboring town, where her life takes a simpler yet more purposeful turn. In the close-knit community, Azra’s grace, intelligence, and gentle strength quickly draw attention—not just for her family name, but for her genuine passion for teaching. She becomes the unexpected heart of the campus, adored by students and quietly admired by her colleagues. But as her influence grows, so does the quiet tension between her chosen life and the world she left behind. Despite her desire for simplicity, her family’s legacy looms over her like an unbreakable shadow, with subtle pressures from her mother and siblings reminding her of the life she could have had. In her classroom, Azra encounters students who are fighting their own battles, especially Mateo, a young man torn between the responsibilities to his family and the dreams he barely dares to voice. Through her role as a mentor and confidante, Azra begins to understand the weight of her own choices. Her encounter with Marco, a mysterious transfer student with his own secrets and a knack for unsettling truths, further challenges her carefully constructed life. He sees through the polished exterior to the woman who has defied expectations and lived on her own terms—a rare sight in his world and one that intrigues him. As her students reveal their dreams, fears, and resilience, Azra finds herself reflecting on her own identity. Caught between two worlds, she must grapple with her deepest desires, her family’s legacy, and the lasting question: Can she truly escape the life she was born into, or will she find a way to bring her two worlds together? In Azra’s Choice, readers will journey through a story of love, ambition, and the search for identity, as one woman confronts the sacrifices and unexpected rewards of living a life on her own terms.

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.
