Slowborn Stories

Avalisse Milana Esquivel has lived her life with exacting discipline and inherited power. A hidden heiress to a global empire and, unknown to the world, a New York Times bestselling author, she possesses everything that signifies success, yet she feels profoundly empty. Like the characters she writes, she exists in quiet isolation, distant and solitary, like the moon suspended in the night sky. When she travels to Japan, the carefully ordered world she lives in begins to come apart. An organic encounter with Rai Saito, a rising star of Japan's national volleyball team, introduces a warmth she never expected, gentle and steady like the first light of the morning sun. His presence unsettles everything she believed she wanted, quietly reshaping the life she thought was already decided. Their meeting is accidental, but their connection is undeniable. She cannot name what grows between them, only that being near him feels disarmingly effortless. With Rai, she experiences something unfamiliar. Like freedom, ease, and the rare sensation of finally being able to breathe. Yet beneath their deepening bond lies an unspoken truth. There are parts of herself she is not ready to face, obligations waiting beyond Japan, and a future already decided by forces far greater than her own will. As love collides with legacy, Avalisse must confront a devastating question: Can she truly claim her freedom, or will she remain bound to the suffocating control of the family that holds her fate?

Priyanshika Jadhav-fierce, proud, and born with rebellion in her veins-is pushed into marrying the very man whose people stole her country. She refuses to break. She refuses to bow. And she refuses to be his obedient bride. Two enemies. Two egos. One dangerous marriage that sparks a war of its own. When power clashes with pride... When hatred tangles with desire... When duty traps them under the same roof... Who bends first- the British officer raised to command, or the Indian woman who burns for her freedom? A thrilling collision of ego, rebellion, and forbidden tension- where every glance is a challenge, every silence is a battle, and every moment pulls them deeper into a storm neither of them can escape.

UNA STREGA SFREGIATA. UN PIRATA MALEDETTO. UNA VILLA INFESTATA DAI RAGNI E NON SOLO. New England, 1697 Seraphine è nata tra la ruggine, la miseria e l'odio. Sfigurata da suo padre, venduta da sua madre, umiliata da chi avrebbe dovuto amarla, ha conosciuto il peggio dell'umanità prima ancora di diventare donna. Quando tutto sembra finito, quando persino la carne non le appartiene più, arriva la notte della fuga: tra gli alberi, tra le rocce, tra le fauci di un mondo che la inghiotte... ...e la restituisce diversa. In una cripta naturale nascosta nella terra, Seraphine muore. E rinasce con un dono antico: la connessione con i ragni. Inizia così la sua nuova vita nella villa solitaria di Lachryma Hall, sulla scogliera battuta dai venti, dove prepara veleni e magie per chi ha il coraggio di bussare. Ma il passato torna sotto forma di un uomo. Un pirata ferito, scagliato dal mare durante una tempesta, stringe tra le mani un teschio di cristallo che non dovrebbe esistere. Seraphine sa che non dovrebbe salvarlo. Eppure lo fa. Da quel momento, qualcosa si risveglia. Antichi segreti, maledizioni, desideri sepolti e sussurri nella pietra. I ragni avvertono un pericolo. Lachryma Hall sembra respirare. E mentre la strega e il pirata si studiano, si temono e si attraggono, nuove forze si intrecciano nell'ombra. Non tutte le ragnatele sono fatte per catturare. Alcune tengono unita una casa. Altre, un cuore.

"People are good mostly." Darryl said, not looking at Zak. He knew the Wing had trouble believing it. "Not from what I'm hearing." Zak snickered. No, they weren't. They hurt him. All the time.

He will find a way to help him. "But there's more of it." ---------------------- It was already proven that love is the greatest power of all. Love makes us stronger. Love defeats the Forsaken. Love creates Guardian Angels. It was already proven.... the world just has to believe it. Zak wants to be free. Zak doesn't need a Gifted. Zak doesn't need love.
