[Completed] I may be a monster... But I am not evil. In the realm of Magika it is said that every Cape needs a Magician and every Magician a Cape. But Swordmaster Leandyr has chosen a different path -- one of sharp, tempered steel. After nearly two millennia of service to the crown of Abydon, he seeks fulfillment beyond what his position can give him. And so, the King grants him a boon. One Hiroh for his freedom. However, as doubt looms over the king's request, Leandyr finds himself questioning the crown's motives. And himself. Is he willing to betray his King for the sake of a Hiroh? Or betray a Hiroh for the sake of his freedom? Cover by @RadharaniBhattacarya

☆ 2022 ᴡᴀᴛᴛʏꜱ ᴡɪɴɴᴇʀ!! ☆ "Hell is empty and all the devils are here." On the cusp of the 20th century, blue blood heiress Lucy Penn has lost everything: her betrothed, her family and home, and even her ability to walk in the sunlight. As she struggles to acclimate to her new nocturnal existence, she makes the acquaintance of Dr. Thomas Reed: an intelligent and tortured immortal, still haunted by the horrors of his past. As the pair grow closer, Lucy becomes privy to a frightening world far below the surface of polite society, in which beings of ancient and unfathomable power live outside the confines of humanity. Carpe Noctem (or "Seize the Night") follows Lucy on her journey through the shrouded streets, eerie hospitals, and aristocratic parlors of nighttime London. As she seeks to exhume the insidious and terrifying purpose behind her transformation, Lucy finds herself drawn deeper into a dark nocturne world of unimaginable folklore and intrigue, begging the question: can love be found after death?

THE DEADLIEST ASSASSIN IN THE KNOWN WORLD HAS JUST BEEN SPOTTED, AND THEY'RE NOT LETTING HER ESCAPE AGAIN. When Aleksandr Volkov crashes into her house and announces that the Black Camellia has been sighted within the country, Daneira Pang isn't sure if she should thank or curse her luck. After all, they'd both been hunting the assassin for years, but if they fail... She'd prefer death, thank you very much. She'd never asked for this life, but she'd never had a choice: this was her duty, and and duty was not something she could escape. There were only two reasons and two reasons alone why Aleksandr Volkov had willingly accepted this mission and went into the eye of the storm: one, because one of the Black Camellia's first targets had been his childhood friend; and two, because Danna was in Melique, and damned if he was going to let her face the Black Camellia alone. He'd already lost too many people in his life, he wasn't about to let Danna become the next one. They'll have to work around the clock to stop the assassin before it's too late. After all, it wasn't just the fate of a nation lying in their hands. It was the fate of the damned world as they knew it. And neither of them wanted to be responsible for inciting a war that might just rip their whole world in half.

IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR, THE LAST THING THEY NEED IS SOMEONE SPREADING THE ENEMY AGENDA. When Lady Kuroki's esteemed students are dispatched to a house party in a faraway manor to root out a potential Meliquean spy, Lady Asteria Lu isn't sure what to expect. The guests are powerful and eccentric, but none of them seem traitorous. Besides, her friends are distracted: Danna by a fate she could no longer run from, Io by the only boy who'd ever seen through her cover. So a mess, really. Then comes a soldier who clearly knew more than he was pretending to, constantly getting in her way. Coincidence, or is he the very agent she's searching for? Maximilian Harlande's life was a good deal simpler before he became a spy. Certainly, back then, he wouldn't be caught dead running around a house party with a Novokulugan agent attached to his hip. But he has a mission to complete, and the cunning Lady Asteria Lu refuses to let him do his job in peace. Fine. So be it. May the best spy win.
