Silla Ek Mhurkum is just barely a nobleman. One who has very little backing and no prospects.

Ayanna Wu Kyrian knows that the meritocracy is not fair. Which is why she's spent her entire life trying to manipulate its rules, but when she finally thinks that her days of struggle are over, she's awoken by a frustrating twist of fate.

Princess Nairobi of Malindi-Ra has spent her life being called useless. Too quiet. Too soft. Too strange. Too hidden behind maps, scrolls, and old stories. In a kingdom that praises loud warriors and shining royals, Nairobi has always felt like a shadow beside her powerful brothers and spoiled younger sister. But when the annual Coming of Age Tournament begins, every noble child of sixteen must enter the arena and prove their strength, skill, wisdom, and leadership. Everyone expects Nairobi to fail. Instead, she begins to see what others miss. With her best friend Mosi beside her, the bronze ring of her legendary ancestor on her finger, and the sharp guidance of Elder Makena in her heart, Nairobi must survive impossible trials, cruel laughter, hidden traps, and a final test that will reveal what kind of leader she truly is. By sunset, Malindi-Ra will learn that the quiet princess was never useless. She was becoming dangerous. This is an original fictional story set in the made-up African-inspired kingdom of Malindi-Ra. The main character, Princess Nairobi, is loosely inspired by the legacy of powerful African women leaders such as Queen Nzinga and other historic warrior-diplomat figures, but the plot, kingdom, characters, and events are fictional.

When an empire of sun-walking vampires begins converting her sacred land into dead soil, she has one impossible choice left. Marry the wolf king.

As the Blight spreads, the forests die, and the Blood Citadels rise, Afia and Eirik discover that the most dangerous thing on the continent isn't the empire trying to destroy them. It's how much they've started to mean to each other.

Every century, the Oracle demands her due. A life. A ruler's choice. And the future of the kingdom is secured with blood. Tonight, it's your turn. You've come to the Hall of Shadows for one reason only-to free your sister, Kainene, from the ancient bargain that has chained your bloodline for generations. But the Oracle doesn't deal in mercy. She deals in sacrifice, and she has already decided what she wants from you. Two paths tear open before your eyes at her words-save your kingdom from being extinguished and lose Kainene forever. Or refuse, and watch your people burn, your father's throne fall to enemies, your entire world reduced to ash and famine. The Oracle calls this monstrosity one word. Choice. And you? You call it a trap wrapped in honeyed cruelty. As she chants in a language older than memory, shadows twist into the faces of every sacrifice that came before you, and you realize the truth: this isn't the first time she's offered this bargain. And you? You refuse to let it happen again. When the Oracle turns her wrath on you instead, it's Kainene-freed, defiant, unbroken-who reaches back. Together, as sister and sibling, both of you make a choice no one has dared make in more than a hundred years: not which path to walk, but whether to burn the whole cruel game down to ashes. A blade forged of hope, a pact broken by two people who refuse to be currency, and a kingdom left standing at the edge of an uncertain dawn, at least no longer fed by the deaths of the innocent. ∞-------×-------∞ DELIVERANCE FROM THE BLOODTHIRSTY ORACLE is a second-person short dark fantasy story about defiance, sisterhood, and the price of finally saying no when needed.

Don't Save Her Damien Frost has never lost a fight in his life. Highest positive energy anyone's seen, water and wind on command, a smile that rearranges hallways. He's the golden boy of a world that measures goodness in percentages. He fixes every fight before it starts and can't walk past anyone hurting without stepping in. His twin brother Wayne would rather he didn't. Wayne buried his own power years ago under sarcasm and a controller he never puts down. It's easier to be the family's shadow than the thing everyone's afraid he could become. He's also the only one who's noticed what's actually wrong with his brother's charmed life. It starts with a favor: get a car from the silent, black-clad girl in the back row. It ends with a corporate empire built on medicating its own daughter into silence, a citywide reckoning, a professional killer sent to finish the job, and a prophecy that's been circling Damien since before he could talk, one everyone around him agreed never to mention. This is a battle-shonen that keeps its powers and throws out the rulebook. The hero isn't the one you should be rooting for. The love triangle isn't the one you think. And somebody in this story is about to learn, the hard way, why you don't save her. Disclaimer: AI used for grammar, spelling and punctuation only.
