Rashid once stood as the cosmos' greatest warrior, his reputation a beacon of strength-until a tragedy he could have prevented shattered him. With his heart broken and pride humbled by the loss of his beloved, he retreated from the battlefield to the quiet isolation of a mechanic's life. But when fate calls him back, Rashid is swept into an epic journey alongside Balam, Jalen, and Kai in the Ethereal Plane, a place where the stakes couldn't be higher. Together, they stand against the threat of the Four Horsemen, whose twisted ambitions place them all in unimaginable danger. On the other side of the Ethereal Plane, Qismat-the realm's finest blacksmith-has lived in devoted solitude, wielding his craft with dedication, his heart as steadfast as his hammer. But when a lost love returns to his life, her memories intact, Qismat faces emotions he'd buried long ago. As chaos ripples through the angelic realm, Qismat must rise beyond his self-imposed isolation and prove that even a humble blacksmith can alter the fate of worlds. In a tale where broken warriors and forgotten lovers must confront their pasts, Rashid and Qismat discover that true strength comes not from power alone, but from the courage to face one's deepest wounds. Together, can they redeem their legacies and restore balance to the Ethereal Plane, or will their pasts bind them forever?

When shy bartender Elliot is approached by a handsome stranger on a park bench at midnight, their unlikely attraction unravels everything they know about themselves, and the crime-ridden city around them. *** Elliot Taylor is running out of places to hide. Trapped between a ruthless father, a dead-end job, and a future that feels just out of reach, he spends his nights on park benches clinging to one goal: get into college and get out for good. What he doesn't plan on is Noah Black. Vice President of the Stray Dogs Motorcycle Club. Infamous. Observant. Relentless. Far too charming for a man with a reputation for violence, and determined to pry into wounds Elliot would rather pretend don't exist. Through chance encounters and sleepless nights, the two can't seem to avoid each other. But Noah's life comes with complications: a motorcycle club under pressure, threats closing in, and loyalties that crumble when tested. As Elliot drifts deeper into Noah's current, he cannot help but realize how dangerously close he's falling -- even as deadly secrets threaten to unravel everything they've fought so hard for. Soon, Elliot must face a choice: keep chasing the life he's always dreamed of, or confront the truths that could shatter everything he knows... including his past, his heart, and the man who refuses to let him go.
