Beasts Beauty and Purity

In the fractured kingdom of Orindale, beauty is revered, purity is a forgotten ideal, and the cursed roam the shadows. Isabella, a compassionate healer from a humble village, lives an unassuming life until a strange dream calls her to the edge of the forbidden Darkthorn Forest—a realm shrouded in myth and fear. There, she discovers the Beasts, monstrous creatures banished from humanity, whose cursed forms conceal the shattered remnants of their society. Among them is Kael, a brooding and reluctant leader with a past as tragic as it is mysterious. Bound by fate, Isabella and Kael must navigate a perilous path filled with betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption. As Isabella learns of a dark sorceress who cursed the beasts, she uncovers deeper truths about the kingdom’s corruption, the fragile line between light and darkness, and her destiny as the key to breaking the curse.

Whisper Of The Fallen

Orpheous had always envisioned his life ending in flames—but not like this. Forced into a binding ritual by Noctana, a fallen demon queen desperate to reclaim her lost empire, Orpheous becomes both her vessel and her unwilling husband. She calls it marriage; he calls it enslavement. Yet, in a world where humans, demons, and diviners wage a fragile, bitter coexistence, their unholy union may hold the key to reshaping the balance of power. In the beginning, Orpheous resists her at every turn, vowing to break free from her grasp. Noctana drives him relentlessly, wielding his body and soul as tools to rebuild her shattered clan and reclaim the throne she lost to betrayal. But as they traverse the dangerous landscape, Orpheous begins to see the cracks in her fierce demeanor—a vulnerability forged in centuries of war and loss. While battling rival demons, ambitious diviners, and human hunters, Orpheous discovers an unexpected ability: the power to transform others into demons, drawing allies to his side and strengthening their cause. Some follow him willingly, drawn by promises of power or salvation. Others, bound by circumstance, question whether they’re liberators or tyrants in the making. With every choice, Orpheous reshapes his fate—and the world. As his hatred for Noctana begins to shift, admiration and reluctant trust take root. Together, they must navigate the growing bond between them, one that could unite their disparate allies or tear them apart. But as old enemies rise and Orpheous’s influence grows, the ultimate question looms: will he use his newfound power to overthrow the queen who claimed him, or will he stand at her side, forging a future where demons, humans, and diviners can finally coexist—or collapse in fire and ruin?

MARK OF THE FORSAKEN

Blurb Liana has lived in exile for years because of a birthmark, known as “The Mark of the Forsaken,” which her pack believes brings a terrible curse. But when Ryker, an Alpha in need of help, finds her, Liana has a chance to prove that her mark might be the key to saving his pack. As the two work together, Liana uncovers secrets about her heritage—and a power within her that she never knew she possessed. But with her heart and her life on the line, Liana must make an impossible choice: embrace the power that could save everyone at the cost of losing her fated mate or risk everything to find another way. Exposition The story begins by introducing Liana’s life in isolation, with flashbacks revealing how her birthmark led her pack to fear her, forcing her into exile. Rumors about “The Mark” swirl among the packs, and Liana’s life of loneliness and survival has shaped her into a wary and hardened soul. Inciting Incident Liana’s quiet life is shattered when Ryker, the Alpha of a nearby pack, arrives at her door, seeking her help. His pack has been plagued by an unbreakable curse, and after hearing legends of “The Mark,” he believes that Liana may be his only hope. Initially reluctant, Liana agrees, seeing a chance to finally be accepted and find purpose. Rising Action As Liana and Ryker work together to break the curse, they grow close, their fated mate bond intensifying their connection. Liana begins to unlock strange powers tied to her mark, which allow her to hold sway over the supernatural forces behind the curse. However, she discovers dark truths about her family’s past and the curse’s origins, which reveal that her ancestors created the curse to protect against a greater evil. Meanwhile, Ryker’s initial secret intentions to use Liana as a possible sacrifice to break the curse come to light. Liana struggles to trust him, and her conflicting emotions create tension between them, making their bond even more precarious. Climax Liana faces a devastating choice: use her powers to fully defeat the enemy causing the curse, which could save Ryker’s pack but may cost him his life, or attempt a riskier, untested path that could save everyone without sacrifice. At the height of her internal struggle, Liana must confront the part of herself that longs for acceptance and the part that fears her power. Denouement In the end, Liana’s choice has lasting consequences on her relationship with Ryker, her understanding of her power, and her sense of belonging. Whether or not she finds a way to save him and the pack, Liana finally understands the truth about her heritage and accepts herself fully, stepping into her role not as a curse, but as a force of hope for her people.

Chronicles of The Heart and Horizon

Synopsis of "Chronicles of Hearts and Horizon" The story begins in a world where magic intertwines with the tangible, and ancient ruins hold the forgotten secrets of past civilizations. "Chronicles of Hearts and Horizon" follows the journey of two unlikely companions—Elara, a skilled treasure hunter, and Alden, a brooding warrior—whose paths cross in a mysterious, enchanted forest, setting them on a dangerous quest to unearth a powerful artifact, the Heartstone, hidden within the ruins of an ancient civilization. Elara is no stranger to danger. Her reputation as a fearless treasure hunter precedes her, known across the lands for her ability to navigate perilous terrains and decipher ancient languages. She is driven by a singular obsession: to find the Heartstone, an artifact said to possess the power to alter the course of history. The artifact, shrouded in mystery, is said to be capable of granting its wielder unimaginable power, but at the cost of one’s soul. The Heartstone is believed to be locked away deep within the ruins of the Temple of Eternity, a place that few have dared to enter, let alone survive. Alden, on the other hand, is a soldier of fortune with a tragic past. Once a knight, he is now a wandering warrior, scarred by the loss of his family during a great war that ravaged his homeland. Haunted by his past and driven by guilt, Alden has grown cold and detached from the world, living only for the present day, seeking solace in his sword and the quiet of the wilderness. His fate intertwines with Elara’s when they both arrive at the outskirts of the Cursed Forest, a dangerous and enchanted place rumored to be the final resting ground of many treasure hunters who perished in search of the Heartstone. The two meet under unlikely circumstances when Elara, scouting the forest for clues, finds herself trapped by a treacherous pitfall. Alden, drawn by her desperate cries for help, rescues her, and though reluctant to share her quest, Elara finds herself needing Alden’s strength and combat skills to navigate the increasingly hostile forest. What begins as a temporary alliance for survival slowly blooms into a deep and complex partnership. As they travel deeper into the forest, their relationship evolves from a purely practical one to a romantic and emotional connection. However, their journey is far from simple. The Cursed Forest is alive, a sentient place that seems to have its own will, shifting paths and conjuring illusions to mislead and trap travelers. Along their way, they encounter strange creatures—both mythical and terrifying—and are faced with riddles and challenges designed to test their resolve. The forest, it seems, has its own secrets and a dark history tied to the Heartstone. As Elara and Alden journey through the temple, the challenges grow more intense, testing not only their physical endurance but also their emotional resilience. The temple’s illusions begin to prey on their deepest fears and regrets, challenging the bond they have formed. The deeper they go into the temple, the more they realize that the Heartstone isn’t just a powerful artifact—it is a sentient being that feeds off of the desires and fears of those who seek it. Elara, still haunted by her parents' mysterious disappearance, is confronted with visions of them—alive but lost to her in a world where the Heartstone’s power can bend time and reality. For a moment, she is tempted to seize the Heartstone to bring her parents back, but she is reminded of the cost: the stone's power would enslave her, slowly draining her essence until she becomes a mere shadow of the person she once was. The forest’s enchantment seems to push her toward this temptation, but her growing connection with Alden acts as a tether, preventing her from falling into the stone's seductive grasp. Alden faces an equally tormenting vision—one where he returns to the battlefield, but this time he does not abandon his family.

Atticus [BL]

“Evil God of the Universe, You are in every space and time. Present in every dimension of reality and govern the darkness of our world. Oh, almighty Atticus! Hear our plea and grant us your presence tonight, awaken my Lord!” The rain had completely stopped and the strong gale had subsided into the fading raindrops. The night had turned eerily silent and only the sizzling and cackling of the fire entered their ears. Suddenly, they all felt like floating from their feet despite setting foot on the watery, hard ground, as if they were traversing into space. The darkness of the night gradually turned darker, enveloping them, morphing into everyone, like a void eating them slowly. Sequentially, their breathing turned oddly slower. Despite exaggeratedly inhaling air to breathe, it was to no avail, as if a higher entity was limiting them from breathing. Nolan felt his throat and tried to open his mouth to gasp more air but failed. Everyone but him was in a state of indignation and panic as they struggled to breathe to fill their lungs with air. Nolan tried to calm his heart. He closed his eyes and stopped inhaling air in pure panic, instead, he put his heartbeat and breathing into a rhythm. It was hard at first, but after a minute, he found his breathing gradually went stable. His whole being was in pure anticipation of what was going to happen next. After a couple more minutes, the storm completely subsided, the night turned to normal. Nolan remained standing, taking in his surroundings with his eyes closed. Everything turned silent. The eerie atmosphere and the crackling of the fire from the hay figure didn’t even enter his ears. Nolan waited for a couple more minutes, his breathing turning normal. He was reluctant to open his eyes, afraid he might ruin their ritual. “It’s alright now, Young Master. You can open your eyes now.” Nolan’s breathing hitched. He jolted on his feet as he fluttered his eyes open. “Atticus? W-why are you here?” The butler, standing in front of him, a raincoat hung on his arms, smiled. “I am everywhere, Young Master, in order to best serve you.” **** Atticus, a demi-god from the underworld, was cast out of his parents from their realm and was thrown into the human world. The reason? He hadn't given them grandchildren yet.
