For Whom The Bell Tolls American Modernist

Solmera is a world untethered, a land seemingly abandoned by the gods and left to rot in chaos, war, and blood. Here, in a land of vampires and humans, survival is a struggle amid a legacy of war and ruin, their existence shaped by tales of ancient wars and whispers of forgotten divinity. The world holds secrets and mysteries in cities and kingdoms haunted by powers unseen—tides of magic that surge through desolate lands, shrouded forests, and seas that churn with storms of ancient rage. Vampire clans, fierce and noble, always hold the strength to dominate over humans, but centuries of betrayal and inner conflict have caused splits among vampires. The old order, though fractured, still endures in four great clans, each vying for dominance as they uphold fragile alliances and guard against the strongest warriors. Some of the clans cling to honor, others to raw power, in a war that has left their world in darkness. In the crumbling order stands Celestra, an heir born into a noble clan in a world where strength and ruthlessness are prized above all. Forsaken by a gentle nature, she is bound by duty to an unforgiving legacy. While the world around her descends further into despair, Celestra is drawn to an ancient promise of peace—one whispered only in myth and shadow. Her journey is to find the truth of the world while fighting for peace. But salvation may come at a price she isn't willing to pay.

From Riches to Realms ------ Strange events had begun to unfold:missing children, vanishing women, and widowed husbands—all while bodies disappeared without a trace. 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. ....... Marie Antoine Lisette, or Liz as she preferred, never thought her life would spiral from riches to rags. 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.
