    It's all a lie, God's aren't born. They're believed into existence. Mara Vale has spent her life restoring things history tried to destroy. When she discovers six lines deliberately scraped from an ancient manuscript, she does what she has always done. She restores them. What emerges is a name no archive records and no living priest remembers. Sevrin. A forgotten God. A name that should have stayed erased. The deeper Mara digs, the stranger the manuscript becomes. Fresh ink appears where none existed before. Forgotten passages reveal themselves beneath her hands. Ancient accounts speak of starving villages, unanswered prayers and people whose desperation turned to into rage. They begged their Gods for mercy. When none came, they demanded something else. Retribution. And something answered. Soon, Mara begins to realise she isn't simply uncovering a forgotten mythology. Something is watching her. Something remembers her. With every word she restores, the impossible becomes a little more real. Until Mara discovers the horrifying truth. She isn't uncovering his history. She's writing it. Someone once went to extraordinary lengths to make the world forget Sevrin. Mara should probably have wondered why.

    Not just what is right ... but what is worth sacrificing. An exciting, unforgettable journey with a young mother who gets caught up in a 500-year-old curse which she must solve and then break in order to save the life of her 3-year-old daughter. Nora is a devoted mother suddenly thrust into a centuries-old curse that demands she serve as the next Keykeeper. To break the cycle, Nora must cross into hidden worlds and assume new identities, solving impossible moral dilemmas in each. The catch is harrowing: to pass from one life to the next, she must override every human instinct and choose to die, trusting that her sacrifice was enough to wake her in the next realm. While Nora faces these trials, her reality at home has turned into a nightmare. Her husband, Lyle, stands falsely accused of her murder-hounded by a vengeful lawman and abandoned by his community. With his career and freedom stripped away, Lyle's survival and their daughter's future depend entirely on Nora's success. She must solve the curse and return home before the town's prejudice-and the curse's reach-consumes her family forever.

    For seventeen centuries, humanity believed the Black Eclipse was nothing more than an ancient myth-a forgotten tale about a sky that once shattered and a world consumed by darkness. Kai Arzen is an ordinary seventeen-year-old student living in Arclight City. He has no extraordinary talent, no famous family, and no dream beyond surviving another day of school. Everything changes when impossible events begin unfolding across the world. Strange phenomena appear without explanation, forgotten legends resurface, and something hidden beyond the heavens begins searching for a single person. As the line between myth and reality collapses, Kai is drawn into a conflict far older than human civilization itself. Every answer uncovers a greater mystery, every battle reveals a deeper truth, and every step forward brings the world closer to another Black Eclipse. Some destinies create heroes. Others awaken something the world should have left forgotten. Welcome to ECLIPSE: THE VOID AWAKENS. This story is an original work built around mystery, world-building, character growth, and cinematic action. Rather than rushing into constant battles, the story takes time to develop its characters, reveal its secrets, and gradually expand the world. Many events in the early chapters may seem ordinary or confusing at first. That is intentional. Small details, quiet conversations, and seemingly insignificant moments will often become important much later in the story. If you enjoy slow-burning mysteries, evolving power systems, emotional character arcs, and unexpected plot twists, I hope you'll enjoy this journey. Thank you for reading. - Akshit

    The gods have been silent for centuries. Until now. When twelve ordinary people are chosen by the ancient Olympians, their lives are changed forever. Pulled into a world of forgotten temples, divine mysteries, and impossible trials, they must uncover why the gods have returned and why they were chosen. Each chosen carries the mark of an Olympian god-Diana, Hephaestus, Hermes, Poseidon, Demeter, Apollo, and others yet to be revealed. But their journey is not about becoming warriors or proving their strength. The trials before them are designed to test their courage, wisdom, loyalty, and the parts of themselves they have yet to understand. As friendships form and rivalries grow, the chosen must learn to rely on one another. Each brings their own strengths, weaknesses, fears, and secrets. Together, they must solve ancient puzzles, navigate the challenges left behind by the gods, and discover the truth hidden within Olympus. Because the gods did not choose them because they were perfect. They chose them because they had the potential to become something greater. The trials have begun. The marks have awakened. And the fate of Olympus rests in the hands of the chosen.

    Will Woodman didn't come back to Kalos with a plan. After years on the road, and more behind him than most people ever see; coming home was supposed to be simple. It wasn't. Something in Kalos has started to change. An ancient power reawakening. Not all at once. But enough that the forests don't feel right. Enough that the ground remembers things it shouldn't. Enough that whatever is buried beneath it is starting to surface. Will wasn't looking for answers. And he definitely wasn't looking for her. Aria, the Kalos Queen. A performer the entire region knows by name. A life built on stages, schedules, and expectations that never really leave room for anything real. Meeting her should've been coincidence. Seeing her again shouldn't have happened. But as the line between chance and choice starts to blur, Will finds himself pulled in two directions at once- Toward something ancient he doesn't understand. And toward someone he didn't expect to matter. He's spent years moving forward without looking back. Now, for the first time in a long time, he has to decide if he's going to stop. Or keep going. Because some things are easy to walk away from. And some things follow you.

    Some patterns are not meant to be found. Across Scandinavia, traces of the past have survived for centuries-carved into stone, buried beneath ancient sites, and dismissed as fragments of history. But when a series of discoveries begins to reveal an impossible connection between them, a pattern emerges. One that stretches across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. One hidden within runes, mythology, and the archaeological record. And one that suggests the stories passed down for generations may have concealed something far older-and far more dangerous-than anyone imagined. The deeper the investigation goes, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. The pattern was never lost. It was hidden. The Runes of the North - Book One: The Pattern is an archaeological mystery thriller inspired by the history, mythology, ancient sites, and landscapes of Scandinavia. Only the Prologue and Chapter One are available here as an exclusive preview ahead of the novel's full publication.

    The Kingdom That Sleeps at Noon Part I: When the Bells Stopped Every day at exactly noon, the bells ring... and an entire kingdom falls asleep. For seven minutes, the world goes silent. No screams. No dreams. No memories. Everyone forgets. Everyone-except a few. When Aron Vale discovers he can stay awake during the forbidden minutes, he begins to notice things that shouldn't exist: moving shadows, forgotten streets, and a silence that feels alive. While the kingdom sleeps peacefully, something walks freely through its streets-something ancient, patient, and permitted. As Aron and a small group of teens search for answers, they uncover a truth buried beneath bells, crowns, and centuries of lies. The sleep was never a curse. It was a choice. And now, that choice is beginning to break. A dark fantasy mystery inspired by the tension of Stranger Things and the depth of epic kingdoms, The Kingdom That Sleeps at Noon is a story about memory, fear, and the cost of survival-told in whispers between seven stolen minutes. When the bells ring... will you sleep? Or will you see the truth?

They'll burn the world to reclaim the Testament. Every ally is a lie. Every clue is a trap. But one man stands between doom and destiny: Attar-the Last Guardian of Uruk. A ghost with eyes older than Sumer, he speaks in riddles... and carries the weight of millennia. ⚔️ As the truth rises like floodwaters, Mayra must decide: Unleash a secret that could remake humanity... or become the final sacrifice to bury it?
