They watched him before they ever knew his name. In a world powered by Aether, Zion learned early that strength makes people afraid-and fear turns into control, suspicion, and silence. Labeled dangerous. Watched too closely. Judged before he speaks. But storms don't ask for permission. When Zion's hidden power awakens, it draws the attention of forces that want to use him-or erase him. As discrimination tightens its grip, Zion must choose between staying small to survive... or rising and becoming what the world fears most. High above the clouds, Amira of Solaira carries a different kind of power-warmth, fire, and hope. When their paths collide, storm and sun form the Dual Current, a force capable of restoring balance-or breaking the world apart.

THE BEAST'S MANDATE : LOVE Love was never meant to find him. And yet-it did. Something older stirs beneath his skin. Something that remembers oaths sworn long before his birth... and a power that was never meant to sleep. When a woman enters his carefully controlled world, desire becomes dangerous. She asks the wrong questions. She awakens buried instincts. And without knowing it, she steps into a legacy written in blood, claws, and ancient law. Because love is innocent until its not. As past and present begin to collide, the line between man and beast, loyalty and hunger, choice and destiny starts to blur. And once the mandate is invoked, there is no walking away, only submission... or war. This is not a love story. It's the beginning of a reckoning.

Two hundred years ago, the Hollowborn were hunted to extinction. Or so the world believed. Hidden deep within the ancient forest of Threnwood, a forgotten people endure - fractured, cloaked by magic, and haunted by prophecy. Among them, a boy named Q stands on the edge of awakening... and obscurity. On the night of his eighteenth birthday, a dream calls to him - a battlefield reversed in flame, a symbol he once touched as a child, and a voice that whispers: "When the hollow flame remembers, the world will burn anew." Q has no Pulse. No power. No legacy. So he does the one thing no one has dared in two centuries: He steps beyond the barrier.

When gods walk the earth, even shadows must remember their names. A small village stands at the edge of ruin, its people caught between mortal fear and divine silence. From the old tales, eight Orisha rise again - guardians bound by fate, drawn by the cry of the desperate. But as the veil between worlds trembles, something older stirs in the deep: the Ajogun whisper, and in the dark between creation and decay, an ancient nameless power begins to wake. In a world where myths still bleed into reality, balance itself may not be salvation - only the calm before another storm.

Long before memory was carried in fire and bloodlines ruled with sigils, there was only Form-and the girl who dared to name it. Sungbo was born with no House, no lineage, and no right to the power she carried. In a village that feared flame and punished questions, she was marked as cursed. But when the fire called her name-and she called back-it awakened something ancient: memory, magic, and a truth older than the Seven Houses. Banished and hunted, Sungbo builds a new Circle of the Unclaimed: children abandoned by legacy, forgotten by blood, but chosen by the flame. As her power grows, so does the threat-because those in power don't fear her strength. They fear what she remembers. This is the untold beginning. Of root and fire. Of rebellion and return. Of the girl who didn't inherit the flame- she became it.

But when her growing powers awaken a forgotten entity known only as the Hollow Crown, Ayana realizes she's not just a bearer of magic-she's a key. And something is watching her. The door has opened. What walks through will either heal the world-or hollow it. Powerful, poetic, and rooted in Black ancestral mysticism, The Obsidian Mark is a lush fantasy about identity, legacy, and the cost of awakening.

It's exam time but feisty Nigerian Secondary School (High School) Senior, Maro has more things to worry about than being weak at Math when a special "thing" is stolen from her - the thing that protects her life as a supernatural being called an Abiku - a thing that she wants back so badly that she dangerously enlists the help of a reincarnated witch, a Deity and a... cobbler?
