When his fallen comrade's pregnant wife is marked for death, Ibris Mansa, a soldier turned syndicate boss, steps in to protect her. But the child she carries is being hunted for its rare genetic potential. Ibris must uncover the truth before the child is taken and Atlantis silences them both. This story unfolds on the ancient continent of Atlantis, the one of myth and legend. Long before its fall, the civilization is already decaying from within. Nobles flourish, animal human halfbreeds are cast aside as a slave race, and unchecked technology, paired with an A.I. religion, pushes society toward collapse. At the center of it all stands Ibris, a bull halfbreed. Tall, broad shouldered, and horned, he was engineered to serve Atlantis's elite and chose rebellion instead. Brutal in battle and reckless in his vices, he carries his burdens with raw strength as danger, drink, and desire trail close behind. Now, Ibris fights for all genetically engineered halfbreeds, leading a resistance against those who would keep them enslaved as tools for the powerful. "The Halfbreeds of Atlantis" is a science fantasy novel set in The Third World Universe, created by Sunny Ghauri. It is a prequel to dystopian romance novel "The Sky Gods of Atlantis."

Carried to a fantasy future by a dark-eyed, time-traveling stranger, can Leonor overcome the guilt that haunts her and fulfill her destiny... while navigating her growing attraction to her newfound protector? Leonor, a student at present-day Harvard, would do anything for the people she holds dear: her roommates, her beloved little brother - and the brilliant but eccentric Professor Mosey, the mentor to whom she faithfully delivers meals three times a day while he conducts secret chemistry experiments that have earned him the nickname The Batty Professor. One night, Leonor's world is shattered when mysterious and deadly spies arrive at Professor Mosey's office to steal the discovery he made just hours earlier: a chemical solution that, when consumed, allows humans to time-travel. When Leonor becomes the spies' next target, she has no escape - until a man with midnight-black eyes whisks her three hundred years into the future. There, she discovers a world whose most powerful figure harbors dark plans to use Professor Mosey's time-travel solution to transform all of reality: past, present, and future. Plans that can be stopped, if at all, only by a secret that Leonor possesses. To prevent her enemy's designs from taking shape, Leonor will need the help of the newfound protector who carried her to the future, a man defined by his rigidly disciplined nature. Together, the two must navigate a city of elites, servants, mysteries, and masquerade balls. Their quest will require them to confront painful secrets from their own pasts, but Leonor is determined to do whatever it takes to save the world from doom. To save her family and friends. And to save the man with whom she has begun to share an attraction as unexpected as it is undeniable and irresistible. *** The first few story parts are long, then the parts become shorter. Hope you enjoy it! ***

In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.
