A cataclysmic event changed the course of history forever. Meteors charged with magical energy crashed into Earth, ushering in a new era. As the global superpowers raced to study them, they unearthed the remnants of a buried past: a pre-human civilization, and with it, the ancient "Shard" technology-powerful, reality-warping, and forged from the meteoric fragments. The world was never the same. A global war reshaped power, erased borders, and gave rise to new hierarchies. Then came the discovery that changed everything: A supreme force capable of rewriting reality itself-an ancient legacy that once triggered a catastrophe so great, it erased an entire civilization from history. That power was thought to be lost. But now, it has returned. In the towering ruins of the future, two survivors fight to stay alive. Raiga, a boy with no memories and a power he doesn't understand. Liara, his childhood friend-smart, quick, and just as broken. Together they survive in Zenithar, a dystopian megacity ruled by factions, machines, and forgotten gods. They steal. They fight. They run. And they dream of escape. But one mission gone wrong changes everything. Raiga unleashes a force no one has seen in centuries. The kind of power people would kill for. The kind of power that should never exist. Now hunted by the Church of Eternity, global elites, and post-war military factions, Raiga is pulled into a conflict far older than he imagined. A war buried in forgotten ruins. A truth erased from human memory. To survive, he must uncover who he really is. To save what's left of the world, he may have to become what destroyed the last one. The war never ended. It only forgot its name. Welcome to Fireborn X: Heaven's Descent. A myth reborn. A future shattered.

Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?
