His grandfather owns a tech empire, his cousins are bred like heirs in a dynasty, and every move he makes is controlled. But when Kael finally rebels, he's banished to Maynard High, a remote boarding school where survival isn't just about grades, rules, or rivalries. Paranormal activities stalk them night and day, and one wrong move could mean disappearing forever. Siobhan Wildes only wants one thing: for the girls' soccer team to finally earn the respect they deserve.

And when day breaks, she too has learned the truth about Maynard's curse. At a school where legends walk, shadows hunt, and secrets bleed into every game, Kael and Siobhan are about to learn that survival takes more than talent, it takes loyalty, courage, and the right people by your side.

    An exploration of historical fiction. Set in 1980s Russia, a man recounts his time in the gulag and the events that followed. No AI use, although I fear it's very obvious given the oscillating nature of the narrator's voice.

    Gold Beneath the Crocodile Throne is a lush, dangerous love story set in the final blaze of Cleopatra VII's reign, where candlelit corridors hold secrets and the Nile carries whispers. Summoned to Alexandria, Sahira-a Black woman of southern bloodlines with a strategist's mind and a spine of steel-finds herself deliberately placed between a queen's designs and Rome's hunger. When she collides with Cassian Aurelian, a Roman commander whose loyalties are fraying, attraction becomes a weapon, then a refuge, and finally a vow. Amid festivals that glow like embers, flooded streets that mirror the sky, and temples humming with power, they craft a bond that is intimate, unflinching, and politically lethal. As forged decrees, velvet betrayals, and sanctimonious rivals close in, Sahira learns to shape the city's pulse, to steady a crown history loves loudly, and to leave fingerprints on a future that refuses to record her name. This is fanfiction where the canon creaks, queens teach in whispers, and love chooses to stay when escape is easier. Ha ©️ Relle H

    A Black martial-arts-trained explorer follows the pulse of places that still breathe, reading stone and tide the way others read maps. When a hidden sigil surfaces in the noise of an ordinary day, she steps into vaults of wind and water where patience is the only key and restraint is the sharpest blade. Rival footsteps echo close behind-another hunter who mistakes balance for leverage-turning each discovery into a test of creed: guard, don't hoard. From sea caves that open between waves to cliffside altars that answer in a language of pressure, every challenge demands breath-count precision, small changes made at great cost, and the courage to leave power unclaimed. This is high-velocity adventure rooted in earth, salt, and sky-fights finished in three movements, puzzles solved by touch and time, and a legacy carried, not worn. © Relle H. All rights reserved.

    In 2026, privacy isn't just dead; it's been replaced. Maya Vance is a high-level data analyst who knows better than anyone that "The Eye"-the world's most advanced behavioral AI-never gets it wrong. It knows what you'll eat for breakfast, when you'll quit your job, and exactly who you'll fall in love with. But when Maya receives a notification for a life she hasn't lived-a "glitch" that predicts she will commit a high-profile crime by the end of the month-she realizes the system isn't just predicting the future; it's inventing it. On the run from a life that's been perfectly calculated, Maya must team up with Kael, a cynical "off-gridder" who deleted his digital footprint years ago. Together, they have thirty days to find the source of the glitch before the algorithm's prediction becomes an inescapable reality. In a world where every move is tracked, how do you disappear?

    A fog-choked coastal city. A Black homicide detective who refuses to blink. A killer staging baroque, blood-soaked tableaux that speak in a language of bells, salt, and misdirection. Detective Selene Ward follows a trail carved through church belfries, glasshouse gardens, storm tunnels, and shuttered galleries, reading the killer's ritual grammar while old-money gatekeepers tighten their grip on the narrative. As bodies become instruments and institutions become stages, Selene must cut through the city's curated myths to stop a murderer who believes terror is art-and who knows exactly how to make the powerful look away. Gritty, atmospheric, and unapologetically visceral, this neo-noir thriller delivers relentless momentum, razor-edged imagery, and a protagonist with the steadiness to face what others call unspeakable. ©️ Relle H

As strange events escalate, Adelaide's sense of security unravels, her focus split between the rising danger and her growing bond with Max. But when the mysterious threats take a harrowing turn, Adelaide and Max are left questioning everything-their safety, their relationships, and the price of trust.

    Askar Riorson has always dreamed of being a dragon rider. Growing up in Aretia was like a dream, with his father, mother, and most of all his brother, Xaden. But now, it's only him and his brother. Years before, during the Tyrrish Rebellion, Askar and Xaden's father was executed for capital offense and treason against Navarre. And his mother had left; she was only supposed to stay until Askar reached the age of 10. It was simply a contract, no love whatsoever. When Askar dawns the age of 20, he is sent to Basgiath War College to survive and learn the ways of a dragon rider. To fly. To fight. To protect. But trouble brews, and when reality breaks itself. Askar and Xaden along with a crew of Riders, could be the only thing to stop it. {This writing is a work of fanfiction.
