The Assassin of Atlantis is a fanfic based on The Assassin of Time by @RedPetal49. Set in the Third World Universe by Sunny Ghauri, it is a science fantasy standalone prequel to The Halfbreeds of Atlantis. --- A time-bending romance of ancient secrets and forbidden truths... Leonor Reid is a brilliant university professor of temporal mechanics at the University of Bayhan City in ancient Atlantis. Sharp-minded, guarded, and known for her work in time-state physics, she has spent her life decoding the past and tracing whispers of lost technology rumored to manipulate time. Meeting a stranger changed everything. Ander de Lara is the captivating man she met at an academic conference. A week of passion, never to be spoken of again, until he reappears a month later as her new research partner on a project around an ancient temple funded by the Atlantean nobility, also known as the sky gods. Ander is charming, disciplined, and far too composed for a man working in academia and excavation sites. What Leonor doesn't know is that he is not just a professor. He is an assassin, embedded in the project under orders to investigate a temple said to house a sentient relic. What neither of them expects is that the temple holds an Enunori, a relic and being of memory and will, capable of traversing timelines, crossing into lost futures, and rewriting destiny itself. As they descend deeper into the Enunori's timestream, the past begins to bleed into the present. Their connection intensifies, echoing across time. But time is not their only enemy. What Ander doesn't know is that Leonor is changing, and she may be the very thing he was sent to destroy. Because something ancient is stirring inside her, and she may be the anomaly that was never meant to exist. To survive, they must break the curse of sky god violence. To love, they must unravel time and challenge the order of all things.

Bite-sized tales to quench your thirst. A taste of things that go bump in the night.

Lord Marshall Sutherland wanted a wife. He had also known exactly who he wanted as his wife for precisely a year. Unfortunately, Miss I.P. Bright was a pseudonym and locating the woman of his dreams had taken a considerable amount of time, effort and money on his part. He had spent the better part of his time last year at the blasted London Season only to discover that it was apparent Miss I.P. Bright - whoever she was- did not run in the same circles as him. It had been an irksome and trying experience because now every débutante and her mama thought that he sought a wife, any wife. But that wasn't the case. He was hunting for a particular woman and no other woman would do. Marshall was a man of definable tastes and once he knew what he wanted, he generally got it. Miss Imogen Brightmore did not want a husband, especially one the likes of Lord Marshall Sutherland, who boorishly and chauvinistically opposed her anonymously published articles. So when a handsome, intelligent and agreeable country gentleman comes to town, Imogen finds herself surprisingly attracted to him and little does she suspect that he harbors a secret that could ruin their blossoming courtship.

They had been the best of friends since childhood. She knew that he secretly wore spectacles. He knew that she had once stolen all the wine for the Eucharist from the parish church and blamed it on the town drunkard. There was very little that Amy Griffiths did not know about Lord Oliver Hollingsworth, the only friend she had ever had growing up in a tiny village where everybody knew everything about anybody. She was quite happy to rush headlong into spinsterhood while she tended to her mother and worked the small bookshop, and Lord Hollingsworth did not seem inclined to wed anytime soon having ensured no mother in her right mind would allow her daughter to consort with the likes of him after the whole debacle with his once intended, Miss Augusta Fleetwood, a few seasons ago. When Amy is convinced to visit London, little did the both of them realise how meddling some of his friends would be, and how adept at matchmaking the troublesome lot are. Soon, the delicate line between friendship and true love become harder to distinguish. Bit of a slow burn, sweet romance with MATURE content and a lot of humour.

It is up to the Vampiric Extermination Bureau to handle the problem of the impures. Brought to work together as VEB agents are Amara, a powerful, stern and silent vampire who has never required nor seen the need of a familiar, and Ezekiel, a familiar without a master. Ezekiel is destined to grow weaker and slowly die without a master to live for. Because of his scars and loyalty to his former master, Ezekiel is only waiting to rest peacefully forever. However, when he meets Amara, he cannot help but be drawn to her strength, ruthlessness, and what lies beneath her cold exterior. The impure vampires and his looming death seem to be the least of his problems.
