It began with a question she couldn't answer, and a marriage that couldn't survive her silence. Now she's alone in a cramped Hudson Valley apartment. No plan. No safety net. Just room to breathe. Until one night, she wanders into a music venue... and sees him. She's not sure she has anything left to give. But somehow, between late-night calls, endless drives to catch him in other cities, and stolen moments in the chaos of his world, her unraveling existence evolves into that of a famous musician's girlfriend. After the Fall is a raw and tender love story; it doesn't promise rescue, but something rarer: recognition. For anyone who's ever had to lose everything to discover what they truly needed. 📖 New chapters released weekly.

London is full of people who do things, build things, decide things - the "useful" ones. Then there are the others... This is a story about those people. About what happens when a peculiar, ancient organisation decides that "useless" is not a condition to endure... but a problem to solve. Not a thriller. Not a romance. Simply London, magic, and the quiet, absurd question of whether a perfectly contented pigeon might, in fact, be doing better than the rest of us.

Simone didn't come to Lone Star Ridge to fall for anyone. She came to rebuild. But small towns have a way of getting under your skin before you realize what's happening - and so do the people in them. New town. Fresh start. A whole lot of everything.

One hundred and seventy-nine years ago, SHIPSH was founded - an international organization created by twenty-nine nations with the official purpose of studying, containing, and regulating the so-called superhumans. Born after centuries of brutal wars triggered by the emergence of Quenz, SHIPSH promised absolute neutrality above borders, governments, and political interests. But that promise was never entirely true. Everything began 240 years before its foundation, when an unknown phenomenon known as the Event of Light struck the Earth. After the impact, humans began manifesting impossible abilities. The world entered an era of violent transformation. Within just a decade, the first of nine global wars between humans and superhumans erupted. The result was devastating. Entire nations disappeared. Ecosystems collapsed. The very structure of civilization was rewritten under the fear of power. To control this new world, SHIPSH was created. But over time, it evolved beyond a balance-keeping institution and became a global force with political, military, and scientific influence. Superhumans began to be classified, controlled, or eliminated. The world was no longer divided by nations - but by levels of power.

Evermore Falls is a town that shouldn't exist-hidden deep in forgotten woods, wrapped in fog, memory, and something ancient. People don't find it on purpose. They're drawn there. A sudden inheritance, a strange letter, a job that only exists until they arrive-every newcomer has a different story. But their fates converge the same way: once you stay for seven days, you can't leave. Roads loop back. Maps distort. No matter how far you run, you return to the same wooden sign: Welcome to Evermore Falls. Seven arrivals. Seven entangled lives. In this town, shadows whisper, time bends, and questions multiply. Doors open to impossible places, people vanish without warning, and the town seems to be watching... choosing... waiting. To survive and if possible, leave, they must uncover why Evermore Falls brought them here- and what it intends for them next.

Some things are taken from you. Your family. Your freedom. Your body. And still, you survive-changed, scarred, and angrier than you've ever been in your life. Myra Sanches has already lost more than most people twice her age could bear. At seventeen, she's navigating grief, rage, and a new reality that no one prepared her for-one where the people in power aren't just corrupt, they're catastrophically dangerous. When she finds herself confined inside a facility that has no intention of letting her leave, she discovers she's not the only one. Behind reinforced doors and surveillance cameras are others just like her: a French boy with wings that have never known open sky, a Japanese hacker forced into digital servitude, Korean brothers whose abilities are as volatile as their rage, and twin children who know far more than anyone realizes. What Vardi Corporation built in secret, Myra intends to tear apart publicly. But escaping isn't the hardest part. The hardest part is what comes after-rebuilding trust, surviving the fallout, protecting the people she's come to care about, and deciding what kind of person she wants to be when the world is watching. This is not a story where love saves the day or trauma disappears neatly. It's messy, violent, slow, and real. The Onyx Project is a slow-burn interracial ensemble drama with mature themes, explosive action, and a Black female lead who refuses to be anyone's weapon-or anyone's salvation-except her own. Some fires don't burn out. They spread. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

There's no map for Cracked Rock-just a handful of misfits, rumors of rattlers, and a cactus that may or may not be judging him. But something strange is stirring beneath the dust.
