In the beginning, we are together... Rania Fellows is an orphan. She has been ever since her parents dropped her off at a police station, rambling about her being cursed. Because of this, people have one of two reactions to Rania: they are enchanted by her or they are terrified of her. Most of her foster siblings won't look her in the eye and in the eyes of her peers, she's a freak. The one thing Rania looks forward to is sleep, because then she can dream of Xerxion, the handsome male warrior from another planet who is her Consort and has sworn to love her for all time. However, when the dreams intensify and Xerxion turns out to be more than just some man her mind conjured up, Rania will discover a whole new world filled with infinite possibilities and even more danger. In this world no one is what they seem, dark is light and love can last across galaxies.

In the cutthroat world of American politics, every smile hides a secret, and every handshake masks a betrayal. Governor Gavin Newsom has everything a candidate for president should-charisma, influence, and a polished image. But behind closed doors, he battles addiction, self-doubt, and a crumbling marriage. His closest confidante, Michelle, is more than just an aide; she's his fiercest critic, his fiercest protector, and perhaps the only person who sees him as human. Together, they wage war not only against his political opponents, but against relentless journalists, ambitious insiders, and the darker shadows of his past. Every debate, every headline, every whispered rumor becomes another battlefield in a war he cannot afford to lose. But as the campaign escalates, Gavin must confront a brutal truth: the greatest enemy threatening to destroy his rise to power isn't in the Soviet Union, the White House, or even the press-it's within himself. In a nation divided, one man's private collapse threatens to reshape the future of American democracy. Cold War is a razor-edged political drama of ambition, loyalty, betrayal, and the price of power-where hearts break as easily as promises, and survival means walking the line between truth and illusion.

I s-swear, it was a mistake. I was wiping the counter and I didn't see it, all I saw was the bottle broken on the floor and the carpet wet." She explains panicky. "And?"

[ BOOK 1 OF AZITERA: YTHER'S QUEEN ] Consumed by avarice, the four human kingdoms-the Infernal Empire, the Kingdom of Caelum, the Kingdom of Treterra, and the Nayale Archipelago-betrayed their covenant with Yther of Azitera, the race blessed by deities, who protected humans for untold centuries. They slaughtered and defiled the beings that once protected them from storm, famine, poverty, and pestilence without mercy. Betrayed by the humans they protected, the Ytherians were enslaved. Their four queens were caged, chained, and imprisoned to serve as nutrients to the human kingdoms. The once prominent Ytherians were reduced to nothing but servants. As the four kingdoms of the human race prospered for many years since their betrayal, one news staggered them, causing them to tremble in fear and rally their armies to protect and defend their domain: Sollel-the Mistress of Flame, one of Yther's queens-had escaped her prison. Her flames will raze hell, ready to burn the souls of her betrayers. COMPLETED CECELIB | C.C. COVER: ASTRID JAYDEE

"I gave you a chance to leave and never come back, why didn't you take it?" I looked into those deep grey eyes that I fell for. "Because I wouldn't have my wife sitting right next to me on that train ride." I answered truthfully. ☔︎☔︎☔︎ He has never met someone as mean as her. The glare on her face almost seemed permanent. The only words that fall out of her mouth are ones that will leave you tarnished and torn, making you second guess where you went wrong. Even worse, she never spoke, more like she grunted responses. When he first laid eyes on her, he fell in love with her tattoos, her attitude, her charm. He didn't understand why he kept coming back? He was intrigued with her. No matter what she said or did to him, he kept coming back. He was impatient but would wait for her. . . . She never understood how someone could keep a smile on their face everyday. The way he always kept a positive look on life. He never frowned. He was the flavour bubblegum that everyone wanted. The go-to ice cream flavour that you always get on a sunny day. That one summer vacation that you'll never forget. She hated his smile, his laugh, his eyes. She hated that she wanted to see that smile everyday. She hated that she couldn't stay away from him. She would happily set the world on fire but never let a flame touch him. ☔︎☔︎☔︎ All Rights Reserved 2022Ⓒsyriacax
