THE LOST CITY OF ELDARATH

Synopsis for The Lost City Eldarath In a world where magic and war intertwine, young scholar Alaric stumbles upon a forbidden book that whispers of Eldarath, a lost city brimming with ancient power. Ignoring the warnings of Seraphine, a mysterious witch who claims Eldarath is cursed, Alaric embarks on a perilous journey across Europe to uncover the city’s secrets. His quest draws the attention of the Guild of Shadows, a powerful order of wizards who have long sought Eldarath’s magic to tip the balance in the ongoing war between the supernatural and the mundane. But as Alaric pieces together the fragments of an ancient map, he realizes he is not the only one seeking Eldarath. Dark forces—rogue witches, treacherous warlocks, and a forgotten prophecy—loom over him at every turn. As Alaric and Seraphine navigate cursed forests, enchanted ruins, and betrayals that threaten to tear them apart, they uncover a devastating truth: Eldarath’s power is both salvation and ruin, capable of reshaping the world—or ending it. When the city’s long-slumbering inhabitants awaken, alliances are shattered, and a final battle for Eldarath’s fate begins. Torn between destiny and free will, Alaric must make an impossible choice. Will he claim Eldarath’s legacy and wield its magic, or will he sacrifice everything to prevent the chaos it could unleash? A tale of power, betrayal, and fate, The Lost City Eldarath is an epic fantasy where the line between hero and villain blurs, and the cost of magic is higher than anyone ever imagined.

An Omega In The Middle Of Mafia Interests

Erika Belion never expected her life to suddenly take such a dangerous turn. She used to be just a low-income omega who worked several part-time jobs just to make ends meet with food and a roof over her head due to a difficult family situation. The wolf never expected that in the middle of a presentation by her musical group in a small speakeasy, her heat would be unleashed, and since she did not have a partner, she ended up emitting irresistible pheromones that, added to her lack of control, turned her act into a spectacle of mockery. That night she felt so humiliated that she had to leave without pay because, in addition to her zeal, she did not have the courage to look her boss in the eyes. But while Erika ran as fast as she could to her car to go straight to her apartment, feeling so embarrassed that she did not realize that from one moment to the next the laughter along with the degrading mockery towards her could be heard in the background. They stopped dead in dead silence. If only he had been in better condition or taken a moment to compose himself, perhaps he would have learned sooner that his heat would have drawn the attention of someone extremely dangerous. Among all the alphas who might have been interested in her for some reason or another... the one who was most interested was the boss of one of the most dangerous mafias on the continent. William Aballay. ----- "William, our relationship is not good..." -Erika whispered, with a trembling voice, turning her back on the alpha, not being able to see him in the eyes- "I bring out the worst in you" -When she was about to run towards the door, he suddenly felt as if one hand was placed on his waist while the other snaked towards his neck, squeezing it a Little- "Ho, my dear Erika" -the black-haired man would tighten his grip a little, bringing his mouth close to the omega's ear, touching it lightly- "you couldn't be more wrong" -the shiver that this action caused only made him smile- "what you saw a few moments ago was simply the real me... the William that everyone fears and respects because he knows what will happen to them if they don't" "W-Wil..." "I would kill everyone I consider allies with my bare hands before I lost you" -he murmured, a dark smile now curving his lips- "I would kill the world itself if it dares to make the slightest scratch on you. You belong to omega... and nothing and no one will change that"

The Ember Of Eternity

In a world unraveling under the weight of forgotten wars and dying gods, Ashen Dain embarks on a perilous journey that could shape the future of all existence. A man driven by the unyielding thirst for immortality, Dain has long abandoned the constraints of human emotion and morality. He seeks the Ember of Eternity—a mysterious and ancient force that holds the promise of eternal life and ultimate power. To Dain, the pursuit of immortality is the only way to escape the cruel grip of mortality that shackles him, and he will stop at nothing to achieve it. The Ember of Eternity, however, is not easily attained. Its resting place lies within the heart of the Cinderfrost Cavern, a labyrinth of fire and ice where few have ventured and even fewer have returned. Legends say the Ember grants not just eternal life, but god-like power, and yet its power is bound to a devastating price—one that has shattered the lives of those who have sought it before. Along his journey, Dain encounters those whose lives have been irrevocably altered by the very forces he seeks to control. Soren Arinthal, a once-great sage twisted by his own failure to master the Ember, warns Dain of the cost that awaits him. Kaelen Vireth, a fallen hero seeking redemption, sees Dain as both a reflection of his past mistakes and a threat to the fragile world he still hopes to save. Meanwhile, Lyra Solen, a powerful sorceress with ties to an ancient order, becomes an unwilling ally, determined to stop Dain from unleashing the Ember’s destructive potential. As Dain moves closer to the Ember, he crosses paths with Raxos Daerith, a rival king who would do anything to claim the power for himself. The world is already on the brink of chaos, and Dain’s quest threatens to tip the balance entirely. With each step toward his goal, Dain finds himself entangled in a web of betrayal, power struggles, and ancient secrets that force him to confront not only his pursuit of immortality, but the darkness within his own soul. Guided by the cryptic warnings of Elyndra, the Oracle of Flame, Dain is forced to question the very nature of his quest. Is immortality truly worth the cost? As he draws closer to the Ember, he discovers that the price of eternal life is not just the sacrifice of his humanity, but the destruction of everything he holds dear. The path to eternity may be lined with the ashes of his own soul. The Ember of Eternity is a sweeping fantasy epic that explores themes of power, sacrifice, and the inherent cost of seeking immortality. It is a tale of ambition gone awry, where the pursuit of god-like power forces its seekers to confront the limits of their humanity, and where the question of what makes life worth living is answered only in the flames of destruction.

Embers Of The Night

As Mia drove through the bustling city streets, her heart began to race—not from the traffic, but from the chilling knowledge that a bomb had been planted in her car. The news had come through a frantic message on her phone, a warning from an anonymous source that sent her spiraling into a state of panic. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she fought to maintain control. With every red light, her dread deepened. She knew that the moment she stopped the car, the bomb would detonate. The thought of leaving her Lysander behind filled her with a profound sense of sorrow. They had so many plans, dreams of a future together that now felt impossibly distant. With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Lysander’s number. “Mi Amore?” Lysander’s voice came through, laced with concern. “What’s wrong?” Mia smiled sadly, he could always tell when something was bothering her and yet she was going to leave him. “Lysander , I need you to listen to me,” she said, her voice quivering. “ You’re a very great person. I never thought I would find this type of love. I only thought love like this was just a fairytale. But you….you….” Mia paused taking in a deep breath. “Anna? What’s happening? Is something wrong? You’re scaring me.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned her head towards the backseat where the bomb sat. How could she tell this to Lysander? She was going to die and leave him. She was going to leave him alone with the thoughts and dreams they shared. Silence hung heavy on the line, and Anna could almost hear the rapid beating of her heart. “I just found out…… I… I don’t have much time,” she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I’m so sorry, love. I won’t be able to see you again.” “Don’t say that! We’ll figure this out! Just tell me what’s happening? ” he urged, desperation creeping into his tone. “No, please, just listen. It’s too late now. I love you so much, and I want you to remember that. You’ve made my life so beautiful. I wish I could hold you one last time.” Her voice broke as she fought to keep her composure. “Anna, don’t—” “I have to go, Lysander . Just know that I’m always with you.” With that, she hung up, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She looked at the cliff ahead of her and stepped on the gas, the car racing towards the cliff. ************* In the heart of a bustling college town, twenty-year-old Anna Mia Harper is juggling classes, bills, and a growing sense of despair as an orphan navigating life on her own. Desperate for cash, she stumbles upon a peculiar job listing: a grave cleaner and companion for the dead at the local cemetery, promising a month’s rent for just one night of work. Excited by the prospect, Anna Mia arrives under the eerie glow of the moon, ready to face whatever the night may bring. But when she encounters a mysterious man lounging atop a tombstone—one who bears a striking resemblance to a deceased local legend—her heart races. Is he a ghost, a trick of the light, or something more sinister?

EMBERS

I am the last of my kind. The once-prestigious Ember Clan was erased from the face of the earth without a trace. In the beginning, we were close-like brothers and sisters. There existed a harmony among us, but everything changed one fateful morning. I still remember that day vividly: the morning my entire family was violently slaughtered before my eyes. They came clad in the most advanced fireproof vests, recently introduced to counter our abilities. We were no longer needed; they wanted us gone, discarded like a useless dog about to be put down by its infinitely stronger master. The land of Troxiya has always been ruled by the strongest clan, the Aqualians, who wield the most formidable elemental power-water. In every clan, it is believed that a phantom is born-a being of pure elemental ability, the pinnacle of their lineage, and the strongest among them. In our case, the last phantom born was my grandfather. After his death, my uncle became the strongest among us, but he lacked the strength and mastery to ascend as a monarch. Phantoms hold a unique place in Troxiya, as every monarch-the supreme power of the nation-is a phantom. Monarchs are beings who stand above all others; it is said that a single monarch can decimate an army of thousands. Without a phantom, a clan is powerless to maintain its influence. After my grandfather's death, the Ember Clan failed to produce another phantom born. As a result, we lost our connections and standing. Deemed useless and a threat because we are the children of fire, the supreme leader issued a decree: annihilate the Ember Clan. And so, my family-my entire clan-was wiped out in a calculated, merciless purge. Now, I am the last Ember, carrying the weight of our legacy and the fire of vengeance within me.
