Heba Badran grew up in a funeral home, raised by an Egyptian mortician. She believed her night terrors were nothing more than bad luck. Until they spoke on her sixteenth birthday. The protection of her Anubis amulet waned, and the voices were no longer contained: they were horrors forged in chaos, hunting for demigods' hearts... And they wanted hers. Soon, Heba discovered a hidden world filled with children of the gods who are ruled by laws, judgments, and Egyptian deities who do not forget. Silence, anger and pain once kept Heba safe.

When the fire took everything from Zac Virell, it left only ash, guilt, and a city collapsing under its own corruption. Sanctum's Reach is rotting from the inside-its guilds, courts, and guards bought and broken. But when a shadowed figure known only as The Elder offers Zac a place in the Veiled Blades, a secret order sworn to cut out the rot, he's given something he never expected: A second chance. A purpose. A war worth fighting. As Zac descends into the city's underworld, he uncovers betrayals, buried truths, and a darkness inside himself far more dangerous than any criminal. If he can't control it... ...it will consume everything he has left. In the neon-lit ruins of Ravencross, Zac must choose: Become the city's last hope- or its next ghost.

She was found bleeding to death in the snowy forbidden lands after successfully escaping her stepbrother, who was set on ending her bloodline back in her kingdom. The kingdom of Nyreas had just fallen into the hands of her stepbrother, who mercilessly slaughtered the remaining Nyrean bloodline. With the aid of a few knights who still had a shred of humanity, Princess Marielle managed to flee her fate, only to end up in an even worse one. Vikings were lurking around every edge of the forest past the kingdom because she had trespassed into their territory, which was strictly forbidden to outsiders, especially royalty. Just when she thought the danger had passed, a man with a sword appeared, standing over her bleeding form. A Viking, and she was bound to be sentenced to death today. A fugitive princess hides among Vikings who execute royalty on sight-she has one winter to become someone new or die as who she was, but the warrior who saved her life might be the one truth she can't escape. What no one knew until she arrived were the dark divine spirits that had haunted their village for generations had awakened when the girl who bore the crown arrived, and threatened to thaw Erik's frozen heart, and now this winter has changed for the worse.

Haunted by visions that bleed into reality and a beast buried deep within her mind, Thessaly's life fractures in a single night. What begins as survival draws her into a lethal game between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, the gods who have abandoned them, and a prophecy whispering of a power the world believed long dead and never meant to return. Pulled into treacherous alliances and ancient politics, Thessaly's magic awakens faster than she can control it, clawing at her humanity each time she gives it voice. Her war is personal and danger often walks beside desire. Riven, heir to the Seelie Court, was forged between two worlds. Born into a lineage the Courts deny and shaped by a past whose cruelty taught him to bury every softness, he learned early that loyalty is earned in blood and trust is a luxury he cannot afford. Yet, Thessaly breaches every wall he's built. Drawn to her defiance and the beast curling beneath her skin, he becomes both her sharpest adversary and her most relentless protector as distrust ignites into a dangerous, forbidden spark. But fate is never singular. Valen, marked by loss and carrying a power of his own, walks a quieter, bloodstained path-one tangled with sacrifice, survival, and truths some would rather remain buried. His choices may tip the balance of a war he never asked to fight. As prophecy tightens its grip and loyalties fracture, Thessaly must decide what she is willing to sacrifice -- power, love, or herself entirely. Because if the prophecy is right, her rise may save the realms . . . or shatter them beyond repair. ~~~~~~ Arising Fate is intended for an adult audience. The Mature rating reflects the presence of explicit themes, violence, psychological intensity, and sensual content, woven naturally into the plot in a manner similar to adult fantasy romance. This is an unedited first draft.
