Tense Stories

This story unfolds in ancient Greece. For centuries, a prophecy spoke of the Chosen One-a man destined to rise, fight, and bring peace to his homeland. Yet after two hundred years, no such hero had appeared. Meanwhile, enemies of the land rejoiced, hunting and killing any man who showed signs of magic or power. Theron Alexandros was one such man-though he did not yet understand the strength he carried. Born and raised on a humble farm by a devoted mother, he was her world. She would have done anything to keep him safe, even give her own life. When she fell to a chronic illness, she entrusted him to the world, leaving him to survive, work, and earn his way. Determined to have a wife-even if love did not bind them-Theron arranged a marriage of convenience. The girl's father, a man in the neighboring town, agreed to sell his daughter for a fortune of one million gold coins. And so, by fate and circumstance, two very different paths were set on a collision course, their lives intertwined in ways neither could foresee.

In a city of shadows and secrets, a tight-knit group fights to survive the chaos that surrounds them. Love, betrayal, and old grudges collide as pasts refuse to stay buried. Explosions, heartbreak, and dangerous games threaten everything-but through it all, their bonds are tested, and their hearts are forced to confront the unthinkable. In a world where trust is rare and enemies are everywhere, survival is only half the battle. Who will emerge unbroken, and who will be lost to the shadows?

Still Scott Rennie is a football novel about a prodigy who arrived before he was ready and was judged before he could become. At seventeen, Scott Rennie bursts into the Premier League carrying the weight of hype, heritage, and a country's expectations, only to be reduced to a meme after one late mistake against Liverpool turns him into the symbol of everything that went wrong. Branded a "pace abuser" by the British media and exiled to the Championship, Scott smiles through interviews while privately accepting the verdict that he never belonged. As the noise fades and the crowds grow smaller, the novel follows a young man forced to confront who he is when talent isn't enough, belief is gone, and the world has already decided his ending - asking whether identity can survive public failure, and whether being still yourself is the hardest comeback of all.

Between laughter, pranks, and the occasional drama, Zariah's group finds comfort in each other's company, their own little corner of the campus where they can be themselves-bold, hilarious, and unstoppable. But college has a way of throwing unexpected challenges their way, and some new arrivals are about to shake up the bubble they've built. With humor, friendship, and hints of romance waiting just around the corner, this story follows a group of friends learning to navigate the chaos of college life while discovering that sometimes the best adventures come when you least expect them
