Edgar Wallace

The Child of the Shadows - Stories From the Kingdom of Cadia

In the fractured kingdom of Cadia, where magic defines worth, 14-year-old Gloria Eldeholt is a noble disgrace—born without a spark in a family of Fire and Poison. Trapped in the decaying Eldeholt castle, she hides in its sealed tunnels, her only companions a pack of scrappy rats she feeds with stolen scraps. Her father, Count Edgar, drowns in wine and bastards, his cruelty a lash she can’t escape. Her mother, Countess Helga, wields icy disdain, branding her worthless as her brother Julius soars with prodigy magic at nine. Gloria’s refuge is her secret—until the shadows begin to whisper. When House Filmore—river lords of fish and fees—arrive with a marriage pact, Gloria’s fate is sealed: wed their son Tristan at 18, merging five villages and a city under her father’s greed. The envoy’s brash Rebecca mocks her as barren, magicless, and unfit, igniting a rage that melts a chair in black tendrils Gloria can’t explain. It’s not Poison, as she’s lied—it’s Shadow, a cursed power feared and forbidden, stirring from the castle’s buried past. Edgar grins, promising to “train” her, his intent dark and twisted, while Helga’s cold warnings hint at secrets she won’t share. As the whispers grow—“You’re enough. Rise.”—Gloria must choose: bow to her cage or embrace the darkness within. In a world where power is everything, her rebellion could crown her—or consume her.

Silent Falls

The world ended with fire. It wasn’t war. It wasn’t disease. It was something else. When the meteor storm fell, it carried more than destruction—it carried evolution. The alien microbes that embedded themselves into Earth didn’t just raise the dead… they changed everything. Survivors became something more. ✔ Stronger. ✔ Faster. ✔ Primal. The dead did, too. ✔ Smarter. ✔ Adaptive. ✔ Hungry for something more than flesh. --- Brian Wallace never wanted to be a hero. Before the world burned, he abandoned it—choosing solitude in the mountains over a society he no longer trusted. He built a home. He survived. But survival isn’t enough anymore. The symbiote inside him has reshaped his body—turning him into something beyond human. His ribcage expands like a bellows. His breath ignites with a force hotter than steel. He is no longer just a man. He is a hunter. And now, he has a war to fight. Because Cain—the self-proclaimed king of the new world—is building an empire of blood and submission. He is a predator with a mind as sharp as his powers, gathering armies, bending the weak to his will. And worse—he isn’t the greatest threat anymore. The dead are changing. The Hollow Ones are rising. And if Brian doesn’t stop them, there won’t be a world left to fight for. --- A brutal, evolutionary horror-thriller where survival means becoming something monstrous. ✔ Primal instincts clash with human morality. ✔ The war for dominance is no longer just among the living. ✔ The dead are watching. Learning. Adapting. And they are not done evolving. --- Perfect for fans of horror, sci-fi, and brutal survival thrillers, Silent Falls drags you into a world where the lines between predator and prey are disappearing—where the strongest won’t just survive… they will change.

La Heredera Contraataca

Sharon era una persona común, mientras que su esposo, Wallace Harris, era un hombre prometedor y apuesto. Su familia era una de las familias más prestigiosas y adineradas de la ciudad de Nueva York. Casarse con Wallace fue un accidente. A lo largo de sus tres años de matrimonio, Wallace nunca había dormido con Sharon. Su familia también insistía en convencerlo de divorciarse de Sharon. Era la fiesta de cumpleaños de la anciana matriarca de la familia Harris, y todos los jóvenes de la familia Harris habían dado los regalos más caros posibles para hacer feliz a la anciana, todos menos Sharon. Ella pidió pedir dinero prestado a la señora Harris para el ama de llaves de la casa antigua, el tío Smith, ya que él no tenía dinero para pagar su tratamiento médico. Pero como se esperaba, la familia Harris la humilló cuando hizo la solicitud. —La familia Harris nunca ha tenido un pariente pobre como tú. ¡Nunca te aparezcas frente a mí de nuevo! Wallace debería haberse casado con Crystal. ¡Ella es sin duda una joven dama que merece casarse con nuestra familia! —dijo la señora Harris. —Por favor, conoce tu lugar y sal de aquí. No te quedes más en nuestra casa. ¿Cómo puede ser mi padre tan tonto de casar a una mujer pobre e inútil como tú con mi hijo? —dijo June, la madre de Wallace. —Son solo unos cuantos millones de dólares, pero eres tan pobre que necesitas pedir prestado de nuestra familia. ¿Cómo puede una mujer como tú merecer estar con Wallace? Si fuera Crystal, definitivamente no nos habría avergonzado tanto. Esa noche, Wallace le entregó a Sharon una tarjeta bancaria que contenía millones de dólares. —La empresa está en desarrollo, así que no tengo mucho efectivo. Puedes usar esto para ayudar al tío Smith. Enfrentándose a la hostilidad de la familia Harris, Wallace declaró: —Desde que me he casado con ella, es mi responsabilidad. Independientemente de que sea rica o pobre, Sharon es mi esposa. No fue hasta que un desconocido se acercó a Sharon un día. Solo entonces supo Sharon que ella era la hija de una de las familias más prestigiosas, y que tenía derecho a recibir activos por valor de al menos diez mil millones. De repente, ella era dueña de la empresa más grande de Nueva York y una tarjeta bancaria que contenía cientos de millones de «dinero de bolsillo». En un abrir y cerrar de ojos, su identidad había cambiado. Ya no era la nuera pobre que no era favorecida por la familia Harris. En cambio, se había convertido en la persona más prestigiosa de Nueva York.
