Five teens. One curse. The past is not dead... it remembers.

Excel Academy was more than a school - it was a world of whispered secrets, sharpened pencils, and silent battles fought in the corridors of learning. For Ayomide, survival meant more than passing exams; it meant navigating friendships, unspoken emotions, and the silence that lingered long after the bell rang. This is a story of youth, fear, love, and resilience - told through the eyes of one student who carried both success and silence beyond the academy gates.

THE WOMAN IN THE GRAVE Amara thought the worst day of her life was the day she buried her mother. She was wrong. Three days after the funeral, Amara receives a phone call from an unknown number. The voice on the other end makes her blood run cold. "Amara... don't bury me." It's her mother's voice. But her mother is already six feet underground. Desperate to understand what is happening, Amara begins digging into her mother's past and uncovers secrets that were buried long before the funeral. A mysterious photograph. A locked wooden box. A forgotten hospital record. A man who claims to be her father. And a secret that suggests Amara was never the only child her mother gave birth to. As the pieces begin to fall into place, Amara realizes someone has spent twenty-seven years making sure she never discovers the truth. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the questions become. Because someone is watching her. Someone knows what happened the night she was born. And someone is willing to kill to keep the secret buried. What if the woman in the grave was never her mother? Some secrets protect us. Others destroy us.

Power. Purpose. Pain. What do you choose when the world fears who you are? When gods whisper and demons scheme, it is mortals who bleed. She is the prophecy: a child forged from the blood of a goddess and the Demon King, destined to shatter an ancient curse and unleash the horrors sealed away for centuries. Raised in secrecy by a father more monster than man, Naya is taught to feed on souls and wield destruction without mercy. But guilt is a seed too strong to kill. When her powers erupt and innocent lives are lost, Naya is cast out, alone and hunted. Her only ally is Zikora, a stubborn, sharp-tongued healer who sees past Naya's darkness... maybe even understands it. Together they set out to challenge destiny, power, and the blurry line between good and evil. But some truths burn too deeply. And some friendships are doomed from the start. As old gods stir, demons claw their way back into the mortal realm, and empires rise against one another, Naya must choose: fulfill the dark legacy she was born to, or burn her own path into legend. But some stories don't end in redemption. Fate is cruel, and love, crueler still.
