A story has been whispered among the lands and kingdoms for centuries. Passed down from generation to generation, master to servant, and has been altered and exaggerated. But the fact still remains, that it indeed happened. A long long time ago, when the lands were filled with laughter and flowed with fresh wine, milk and honey. The great king Erold the IV ruled justly and ensured there was peace between the kingdom of Arnash and her neighboring kingdoms. He was loved, respected, and trusted by all. But in every wall, there must be a crack. Trust was betrayed Loyalty was tainted Love was murdered And the king was assassinated The Defenders were brave they did all they could . BUT- Were was the icelander? Why was the king alone? What happened that night was a complete misery. Not until 19 years later Wait till you turn the next page ...

"You can't get away with killing us!!" The declaration echoed through the dimly lit room, met with unexpected amusement from the blood-drinking demon. He chuckled, a sinister sound that reverberated off the walls as if he'd heard the funniest joke in eons. "Relax, children," the demon drawled with a sickly sweet tone. "I have no intention of killing any of you. My plans are far grander. From this moment forward, the world you've known will cease to exist. You are to become the servants of others for the greater good." A heavy silence fell over the room. Cami scanned the faces of her friends, noting their expressions of confusion and terror. Some girls wept openly, while others struggled futilely against the burly men who held them down. Unable to suppress her rising dread, Cami's voice trembled as she broke the silence. "W-what are you t-talking about?" The demon's eyes glittered with a malevolent delight as he leaned closer, his grin widening. "Darling, you're about to become an immortal slave." For Cami Santiago, summer break was supposed to be a time of carefree fun with friends. But their idyllic escape turns into a nightmare when they discover that the stranger who followed them to their remote cabin harbors a diabolical plan. Faced with the terror of human trafficking, Cami and her friends are thrust into a world far more sinister than they imagined. The true horror reveals itself as they learn that their fate is not merely in the hands of wicked individuals, but ancient Gods and Goddesses who run a cruel selection process. Only the "best" are spared in this macabre game of survival, and Cami finds herself deemed a prime candidate for the gods' twisted entertainment. As she and her friends grapple with their grim reality, Cami must navigate a treacherous path where the divine and monstrous intertwine, and her fight for freedom becomes a desperate struggle against ancient forces.

Beauty, strength, superhuman abilities-these are the things that used to be out of reach. When it's at your fingertips, turns out it doesn't come alone, but with consequences as its companion.

When he finds out about the horrifying experiments conducted by The Republic, he knows that it's time put a stop to Project Alter. But what can a man do when he is against an entire unit? With his partner and a newly found 'probational' partner, he knows that he'll find every way to stop Project Alter, even if he has to join the Equalist rebels that he hates.

He's not a detective and he doesn't give a crap if your spouse is cheating on you. Human and supernatural beings avoid him like the plague because if you get too close he'll gleefully tell you the time and date of your own demise and that's before he punches you in the face. For nearly one hundred years, Tim Reaper (yes, that's what he calls himself) has been living as a fixer, a rum runner, an enforcer and occasionally, a gumshoe. He hasn't aged a day because of his habit of borrowing the bodies of the recently deceased. (A convenient trick when you're on the lam.) Banished to the human world for tinkering with the natural order of life and death, he's kept himself busy with a peculiar hobby: ending the lives of murderers and serial killers alike. Except now, the bodies are piling up in Mexico City, Boston and the port city of Halifax. In fact, someone just found a corpse at the shipping terminal and it's not entirely human. Called on by the Holy See to put an end to the madness, Reaper is about to learn that this particular serial killer has a hate-on for heavenly bodies and even the Supreme Being will pay the bounty if it means saving humanity from the abyss.
