A scar from the past. A name buried in silence. When Mira is taken by Elias, a man as dangerous as he is familiar, she begins to uncover a truth that could shatter everything she thought she knew-about him, about herself, and about love.

Rose I was always used to doing what people tell me to do. Get good grades they said. Take care of your little sister they said. Let me borrow everything you own and never give it back they said. No matter what was asked of me I always complied but it was never enough. I was always the people pleaser, the one who bends and breaks for everyone else's needs, but no matter how much I tried I always end up alone. ...Until I met him. Silas My entire existence was a mistake from the moment I was conceived. Born to a 15-year-old girl in Rome, Italy. Then orphaned. I learned to fight to survive. No one ever knew what to expect from me, and it scared them. By the age of 10 I had a reputation as a psychopath. Some even say I'm a cold-hearted unhinged killer. Cold-hearted? Wrong. Unhinged killer? Accurate. People barely considered me human. ... until I laid my eyes on her. Two shattered souls, two broken hearts, find healing in love. New cover designed by Nightenghale. ♡

"You have two options: Either I kill you, here and now, and let you die like the rest of your demon kind... Or you can join us." "Become a Hunter," she says. "And I will help you find the woman you seek." "It is the best option for you, devil, considering the convenience of your... cannibalistic trait." A cannibal. An amnesiac. A Stygian Devil. He has no memory of who he was before, save for his name, and the image of a woman he now searches for; a mother that should not exist. But for Raziel, 'should not' and 'can not' are words he knows will follow him wherever he goes: the perception of his existence is built on it. What he did that night was unheard of. Impossible. Demons can't be selfless, it is the antithesis of their entire nature. They don't slaughter their own kind in the outright defence of another, especially for their prey. And neither can they feed on their own kin for sustenance. And yet he did. Repeatedly. ...Having taken an immediate interest in his disposition and the details (or lack thereof) of his true origins, Evelyn strikes a deal with this amnesiac devil: for him to become a Hunter of the Syndicate -- the ultimate adversaries to his demonkind and the night guardians of humanity, and in exchange: the full available resources needed to help him find the maternal figure he searches for. It's a Quid Pro Quo, an agreed upon exchange between the Devil of Shadows & the Maiden Noble of the Valtiel Family. Simple, and blasphemous. And for the oncoming future -- of strengthening demons, endangering human conflicts, and the clouding and looming veil of another biblical, world-ending prophesy...? Absolutely necessary. *Note: Nocturnal Demon is a gothic gas-lamp and action-horror fantasy novel, containing explicit descriptions of violence, gore, death, bodily horror, strong language, and sexual themes.

In a world on the brink of collapse, a father makes a desperate, unfathomable choice that he believes will save humanity.

He is Lyrius, an Ancient Arrival, and he's returned to a broken world with a single, brutal mission: to save it from itself. Descending in a blaze of glory, Lyrius ends all global conflicts with a terrifying show of power. He declares himself the Global Overseer, dismantling old governments and delivering a new, perfect world ruled by an infallible justice system and an army of Peace Wardens. But this flawless utopia comes at a terrible price: the surrender of human freedom. As humanity grapples with a peace that feels like a prison, Lyrius is forced to confront the one variable his perfect system couldn't account for: the human heart. He realizes that to truly guide humanity, he must provide a final, profound lesson and a vision for ascension-leaving them with a choice that will determine if they are worthy of their own future. The Ancient Arrival is a high-stakes sci-fi thriller that asks a single, terrifying question: Is humanity truly worthy of the truth, or will its flaws condemn it to a future it wasn't prepared to earn?
