The first battle for the Hollow-Born is over-yet no one has won. Lyra Ashbourne has awakened as the Daughter of Ash, and the shockwave of her becoming has split every realm down the middle. Heaven scrambles to contain what it cannot control. Hell fractures under the weight of loyalty, fear, and prophecy. And in the dark beyond both thrones, Erebus-First Darkness, finally whole-begins gathering an army powerful enough to erase creation. The mortal world burns. Billions vanish. Prayer turns feral. And every scream feeds the coming war. If balance is to be restored, Alastor-Prince of Hell, executioner, and avenger-will need more than blades and shadows. He will need his iron-blooded brother. An angel who dared to touch what Hell claims as its own. A lover who has transcended into something terrible and divine. And Jasper-the Shadow God-whose devotion has never been clean, and whose motives have never been safe. Vows will be tested. Oaths will break. Fate's threads will be cut. And when the realms finally choose their sides, love may be the most dangerous weapon left. Because this time, the enemy isn't Heaven. It isn't Hell. It's the thing that made them both. New chapters will begin releasing January 2026. The countdown to reckoning starts now.

Irene and Sir John aren't exactly a match made in heaven. More like in hell. They're selfish, eccentric, in love with their huge egos, and swept into a tragic love story. 💔 This story is an adaptation of Irene Iddesleigh by Amanda McKittrick Ros. Because of its heavy purple prose, few people have read the entire novel. I hope this adaptation makes sense. ⚠️ Don't expect much character growth because I've kept the character development as close to Ros' as possible. ©2025 K.G. Noble. All rights reserved.

Alex was born into privilege, James into questions, yet their lives have always been intertwined. Between the polished halls of Boston and the sun-bleached ruins of a forgotten island, they will stumble into secrets far older than themselves, and emotions far more dangerous than they can admit. But prophecy is never simple. Someone is coming. Someone who will turn friendship into fire, test loyalty until it breaks, and shatter everything Alex and James thought they knew about love, history, and themselves. This is not just a story of two teenagers on the edge of discovery. It is the beginning of a journey that will follow them as they grow, stumble, and rise, until the choices of youth shape the destiny of adults. Some mysteries can rewrite the past.
