"There would be no point," Beatrice added, "what chance could a demon have against an Ambercroft?"
The candles flickered and the wind fell dead. The darkness smiled as the shadows whispered near Beatrice's ear:
"I accept that challenge."
                    *                                                                    *                                                                       *
It has been fourteen years since Beatrice, Lady Ambercroft, unintentionally challenged a demon to a contest where she must find and destroy him. The prize is her brother Kyrian's life.
Unaware of his sister's mission, Kyrian has just come back from his studies to announce his intention of leaving the family business: demon hunting.
If the Council withdraws their protection it will be that much harder for Beatrice to keep her brother alive. Time is running out and, the trap is closing in, will Beatrice win the contest?
Or will the Ambercroft promise be broken?

Coming Soon: Summer 2017!

Discover what lies within, but beware-the truth may come at a price too steep to pay. Serena's life is about to take a dark turn. When her mother died suddenly, she thought she'd be grappling only with loss-but the secrets hidden in her mother's shadowy past reveal an unfathomable legacy. A gifted actress adored by many, her mother shrouded her life in glamour, but left behind a chilling enigma. The key necklace Serena has worn since childhood isn't just a trinket; it unlocks a mysterious box tucked away in the depths of her mother's closet, and opening it will change everything. Within the box lies a truth that will shatter Serena's perception of love and loyalty: her mother made a deal with the devil, intertwining their destinies in ways she never imagined. Betrayal stings in the worst of ways, particularly when it comes from family. But as dark forces converge and the stakes rise, Serena learns her mother left behind one last trick-a doorway into the world of the Aces, a powerful and enigmatic paranormal entity. Caught in a whirlwind of supernatural politics and looming danger, Serena must navigate a terrain where betrayal, loyalty, and sacrifice intertwine. Will she harness the Aces' formidable power to save herself, or will her mother's legacy lead her down a dark path from which there is no return? This novella has been entered into an Open Novella Contest. I chose two prompts: ONC Prompt #93: From a deck of cards, pick one. But what will it reveal about your fate?

Slate Gray by alpaljames
41 parts Complete Mature
For the Slates, demon slaying is the family business. And eighteen-year-old Perrin has fully embraced her chosen profession. But when her sister, fifteen-year-old Ace, declares she's ready to join the cause, Perrin has her reservations. First of all, the case she's picked involves not one, but three demonic foes. A tricky proposition for any new slayer. Second, something eerily familiar lurks at the heart of the infested town. A red-eyed presence that may or may not be the demon who murdered their brother a decade ago. Third, Ace refuses to listen. To reason, to orders, to sense. And in this line of work, one false move can get you killed. Along with their exasperated father and an overeager grocery store clerk, Perrin and Ace set out to raise a little hell and bag a trio of baddies. But demons aren't the only ones to fear. A secret society has discovered their connection to an ancient bet. One involving their very souls. And as enemies close in on all sides, the Slates will need to trust each other and their training to stay one step ahead of the coming storm. Set against the backdrop of 2010 Middle America, Slate Gray is a nostalgic tale of demons, driving and destiny. Will Perrin sacrifice herself to protect her sister? Will Ace make a deal with the devil to bring their brother back? Only time will tell.

Bound by Sin and Soul by BOBURANIAN
18 parts Ongoing Mature
Synopsis: For over a decade, demons have ravaged the world, escaping the underworld after an ancient artifact was shattered by a mysterious figure. Growing stronger each day, these beings terrorize cities, and despite desperate efforts from hunters and police, the most powerful of them remain nearly unstoppable. Whispers speak of a chilling truth-demons mark humans to drain their life force and replenish their magic, growing more dangerous with every soul. Daichi, a 27-year-old widower plagued by a lifetime of misfortune, finds himself marked by one such demon-a powerful and dangerously alluring creature whose true intentions remain a mystery. Does it seek to consume Daichi's soul... or something far more intimate? As Daichi teeters between survival and surrender, two unlikely allies take up the fight elsewhere: Junichiro "Xavier" Masashi, a high-ranking and battle-scarred General Demon Hunter, and a mysterious Hellhound bound to a mysterious master. Together, they investigate the origins of these evolving demonic threats-seeking out patterns, secrets, and the truth behind the growing invasion before the world collapses completely. Now, with Daichi trapped in a deadly bond and Xavier chasing shadows beside a creature born of flame and fang, both men face impossible choices. Between love and loyalty, salvation and sacrifice-can they change a world already burning? Or will desire undo them all? (This story is based off of a roleplay, that is very much still going at the moment. @NightmaringDreams my long-term roleplay partner, my bestie!) [I've written this story before but it's not very good. This is me, redeeming my horrendous story-telling I use to have. If you'd like to check that out. It's @SamLambert984 the only story I have on there is called 'Devils Toy.' That is, this. HAHA- Haa.. Unless you don't want to spoil yourself, keep reading and ignore my terrible writing! Anyway! :D Please enjoy!] Cover credit: @NightmaringDreams
