Dark Tide

Kaelan opened his eyes, blinking past the blurry light of the sun. What had happened? The last thing he remembered was standing among a thousand dead, both monster and human, covered in blood. A sharp pain in his chest and the dark red eyes of Demon God Malakar, the Devourer staring at him through the rain. He remembered nothing after that. Reaching up toward the sky to block the sun, he saw his hands- short, stubby and strangely young. He sat up straight, the fog of sleep rushing from his body as he looked around, his heart pounding. He was lying under the Grand oak tree in Ashwood, the poorest village in the south of the Cresswell Dukedom, towards the center of the Kingdom of Aumber Vale. He was eight years old again, wearing the rags of his childhood and the still untouched and unscarred face of his youth. He was no longer Kaelan Stormrider, Kaelan the Veilwalker- he was Kaelan Miller, first son of Jackson Miller the town flour maker from thirty years ago. He pulled from his pocket the now inert stone given to him by his master- the witch Lirael who had saved him from slavery and a life of mediocrity. He stared for several seconds before small smile slowly creeped over his face- he clenched his fist around the rock, knowing now why she had insisted on him taking it. He was back. Back before the wars, before the demons invasion, before the ascent of the darkflame and every evil thing in between. He was back. This time, he would protect them. He would work to join the Vale Knights, to perfect his magic manipulation. He'd stop the flood that destroyed his city and keep Aumber Vale from crumbling into ruin. This time, he would save them all.

“I want you to be my submissive.” If homicide detective Cassandra Pratt had to describe Havenfield in three words, they would be ‘small,’ ‘inconspicuous,’ and ‘boring.’ But when a series of gruesome murders shatter the town's peace, Cass is thrust into a hunt for a killer with no identity. Stumbling upon a vampire was never part of the plan, but Uriel Serpov has never been one to follow plans. Uriel is infuriating, enigmatic, and undeniably attractive. Worst of all, he knows Cass’s darkest secret—the very one that keeps her isolated from the rest of the town. Behind his sharp smile and smoldering eyes, Uriel harbors secrets of his own, and now Cass’s only hope of solving the serial murders lies through him. The line between duty and desire quickly blurs. Will Cass solve the case? Or will the heat between them consume her? Additionally tags: slow burn, bd//sm, power play

Hell is empty and all the devils are here. Shakespeare – [The Tempest] As a form of punishment for mistakenly killing an innocent civilian, Song Zhuyu, a priest and part-time exorcist, found himself exiled to the distant shores of Shenci Island, hundreds of miles away from his hometown and the only city he had ever known his whole life. However, unbeknownst to anyone, he harbored a secret agenda— to hunt down the culprit who had turned his life upside down. Fully prepared for meeting danger at every turn, what he encountered instead was a beautiful, serene island, albeit with two strange ironclad rules: First, do not climb the hill after 1 AM. Second, do not interact with Rui Ye. On the first night of his stay, Song Zhuyu broke two of the taboos, only to discover that the infamous Rui Ye was nothing like he had expected. “I am cursed,” the blind, beautiful man told him with a wistful smile. “If you associate yourself with me, the curse will haunt you too.” In response, Song Zhuyu’s lips hooked into a careless smile, “I don’t think you have to worry about that. I, myself, am cursed as well. What’s the big deal about adding another one?” But as inexplicable deaths began to plague the island, Song Zhuyu realized that the island, including the helpless and soft-hearted Rui Ye he had come to know, held a far darker secret than he could've ever imagined. In a race against time, he must navigate the treacherous waters of deceit and betrayal to unravel the island’s sinister truth and achieve his goal before it's too late. *** Pretty, flirtatious yet heartless priest gong x blind, mysterious and cursed shou Additional tags: gong/seme/top protagonist, action, mystery, suspense, horror, psychological, thriller, dark elements, angel and demons, slow romance, murder, crime, beautiful protagonist, older love interest, 1 vs 1, dubcon, supernatural creatures, exorcism, tragedy, past plays a big part Find me on: Instagram: delanasiwarka Discord server: bit.ly/delanadiscord
