With a cruel ranking system, only favored concubines had the honor of meeting with His Majesty. And only the woman able to bear him a child could become empress. Raine Stjorme had climbed the ranks to the top. And after praying each night, she was finally with child. Yet all this was rewarded with the cruelest of fates. Murdered by the man she loved, Raine cursed Emperor Sylvos with her dying breath. She cursed his whole court as they snickered at her final moments. And her curse had taken root. Now, Raine awakens three years before her destined death, on the fateful day she first encounters the emperor. Armed with this second chance, she vows to make him fall - and to bring his empire down with him. But when faced with the tyrant who claimed her heart, could she still follow through? ✦✦✦ 𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙋𝙀𝙎 𝙄𝙉𝘾𝙇𝙐𝘿𝙀𝘿: -𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨 -𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 -𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙭𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙮 -𝘼𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚 -𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 -𝙑𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡 -𝘽𝙖𝙙𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙁𝙈𝘾 -𝙈𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨

Twenty years after humanity collapsed into a zombie apocalypse, Earth is a field of ruins and despair. With no cure for the airborne virus that has infected every survivor, the human race is on the brink of extinction. Humans live with the incubated disease, fated to transform at any moment. Among the wandering dead, one stands out. An ordinary zombie, nameless, without memory, kills without thinking-until something unexpected happens: he awakens. Now with consciousness, partial memory, and reasoning, he decides to follow his deepest impulse: to finish off what remains of humanity, as if this were his natural mission. As he becomes a dark legend among the surviving humans, a young woman named Zara, marked by pain and the weariness of life, observes what's left of the world from the top of a building. From up there, she sees something she doesn't understand: a zombie who observes. Fascinated, curious, and disturbed, she decides to follow this being who defies all logic. From the encounter between her hopelessness and his conscious brutality, something unexpected will emerge: The last spark of humanity-or its complete destruction.

Hello, Book Lovers For those who have read "Peculiar Contract" and were traumatized, it's a good idea to prepare yourselves and your hearts, because a "Peculiar Event" is about to begin and this time, there might not be any options for an ending. If you haven't read "Peculiar Contract," I recommend you read it before this work, as characters from that story appear here and you might not understand some of their actions and motivations. But it's your call. It will be one less trauma in your life and one less therapy session I'll have to pay for. Synopsis The invitation was simple: a luxurious island, an opulent mansion, games with their own rules-and a prize that could change any life. But nothing is that simple when the body speaks louder than reason, and when desire becomes a sharper weapon than any strategy. There, every touch carries a hidden agenda, every alliance is a game of seduction, and feelings are manipulated with the same coldness with which pieces are moved on a chessboard. Sponsors and protégés watch each other like predators before their prey-but it's not always clear who is in control. Masks fall, truths are twisted, and the lines between pleasure, power, and madness become dangerously thin. In the middle of it all, a question arises that none of them dare to ask aloud: how far would you go to win-and what would be left of you afterward? Important Notice: This book belongs to the Dark Romance genre. This genre explores intense and dark themes, often controversial, which may include emotional triggers such as violence, toxic relationships, abuse, and other sensitive topics.

He placed a file of marriage papers on the counter, sliding a pen across to her. His dark, sharp eyes locked on her every move. "Tarsou ge tum , tumhe uska deedar bhi naseeb na hoga.... Khwaaisch he meri ke tumhara pyaar kabhi poura na hoga"........ {"You will long for him, yet you will never get to see him... My wish is that your love is never fulfilled."} Aayesha said with a deep hatred filled in her eyes. "Mohabbat , dua aur baddua sirf kitabi bate he..... Haqeeqat mai iska koi wajoud nahi...... Zaya hojayegi tumhari Mohabbat ki talash........ Jab badlegi meri caahat, junnon me sirf tumhe pane ki"....... {"Love, prayers, and curses exist only in books... In reality, they have no meaning... Your search for love will go in vain... For when my desire changes, my obsession will be only to have you."} "Sign it. Now. The sooner you do, the sooner this becomes official." "This is not a pure love story. It's a cursed tale, where a haunted past shattered them, destiny entwined their paths, and fate gave them a chance-however fleeting."
