On Earth, she was many things, but the world knew her as a survivor—the kind willing to do whatever it took to make it through another day. In a destroyed, monster-filled wasteland, her weapon was seduction, her looks the only shield she had against death. Let them call her a slut; at least she was alive. But death never came. Instead, she finds herself in Jeper, a strange, seductive world ruled by powerful alien beings. And among them stands Caelum, an enigmatic, infuriatingly confident alien leader with a presence she can’t ignore. His dark gaze sees through her games, his every word a challenge, and for the first time, she finds herself unarmed in ways she can’t control. Now, with survival at stake and no way back to Earth, she must navigate Jeper’s dangers—and resist Caelum, even if everything in her longs to fall into his grasp. ************ She hadn’t planned on running into Caelum tonight—not here, not like this, with her heart pounding and her carefully practiced confidence crumbling under his gaze. The cold stone corridor felt smaller as he approached, his footsteps barely making a sound, yet the weight of his presence pressed down on her, making it impossible to focus on anything else. “You seem… lost,” he murmured, a wicked smile ghosting over his lips as he closed the distance between them. His voice was a rich, silken drawl, his tone unreadable, like he knew every thought swirling in her head. She fought the urge to step back, to shield herself from the effect he had on her. Caelum wasn’t just another alien ruler to charm her way past—he was dangerously perceptive, with an intensity that twisted her stomach in ways she wasn’t used to. “What makes you think I’m lost?” she replied, trying for defiance. But he just leaned in, the faintest hint of a smirk tugging at his lips as he tilted his head. “Because the woman I’ve heard about, the one who survived Earth’s ruins by any means necessary… she doesn’t look away.” His gaze slid down her face, lingering just enough to make her throat go dry. "And she wouldn’t let a place like Jeper scare her.” She forced herself to meet his eyes, to ignore the steady pulse of heat building between them. She was supposed to be in control; that was how she’d survived. But Caelum was close enough that his breath brushed her cheek, and the way he looked at her made her wonder if maybe, just maybe, there were parts of her she hadn’t yet discovered. “Maybe Jeper’s different,” she whispered, trying to keep the trembling out of her voice. Caelum leaned in even closer, his lips brushing the shell of her ear as he murmured, “Then show me what makes you strong enough to survive it ******** This is not my cover I found it on Pinterest

In the aftermath of World War III, the world has become an icy wasteland, blanketed under a thick, unforgiving nuclear winter. Toxic clouds blot out the sun, turning once-vibrant cities into desolate, twisted shadows of their former glory. In this brutal world, the remnants of humanity cling to survival, scattered across ruined landscapes where mutated beasts roam and resources are scarcer than hope itself. Some survivors have organized into small, fiercely guarded communities, hidden away from both monsters and marauding scavengers who have devolved into merciless hunters, willing to kill or betray for a mere mouthful of food. Among them is Alexander, a man molded by war, haunted by it, and perhaps slowly unraveling under its weight. He’s a soldier to the bone, a veteran of countless battles, and a strategist with an unyielding resolve that often skirts the edge of ruthlessness. Night after night, his dreams are filled with images of fire and blood, faces of comrades lost, and choices he wishes he could unmake. In this new world, his purpose seems clear: protect the outpost, ensure the survival of those within its walls, and keep the beasts—both human and monstrous—at bay. Yet, in the rare moments of quiet, doubts begin to creep in. He questions what survival truly means when every day is a fight against despair, when trust is a dangerous luxury, and when every choice he makes is a balance between duty and his own humanity.

Imperially Yours...A blend of romance, royalty and fantasy. History is written by the victors that is why you hear the Elves tell their descendants how they conquered this land and still glorify such an exercise. This land used to belong to us. But then they came: an annexation that brought us all-all three races- together and still pulled us farther apart. And they established a social order. Elves first, Fae, and the humans at the lowest rung of that order. I cannot be disappointed with my parents enough for being who they were-humans-and then birthing me. That was a huge disservice to me. In this world, you were only Elven or nothing. I was nothing by extension. But I never embraced that status.

In this midst of this I was going to change and experience things like I have never before and I will struggle with myself to overcome the darkness that seeks to take me with it. There are three types of Magic: Benign, Grey and Malign. Two kinds were outlawed: Grey and Malign. I possessed Malign magic within me and soon I would find out why it was outlawed...
