Battered, bitter, betrayed - I am shadow.
My name is Manora Wilsheim and I'm a contract killer - the fancy word would be assassin but that's self-glorifying and there is NO GLORY in what I do.
When I was nine I saw my father burned at the stake, and half my family burned along with him.
When I was eleven I was taken into slavery along with the rest of my people, I got the better deal - them - a death sentence lasting a lifetime under the scorching sun.
At fifteen I became a killer - a world I hate so much, a world that I must endure.
I want answers - answers to who my mother was, why the prophets are ripping each other apart screaming of the end of the world, and why my employers want me dead.
I want revenge - revenge for the death of my father, the destruction of my village, the enslavement of my people.
My name is Manora Wilsheim and I am a killer.

The Unbound
Born to be a legacy, I was meant to lead-until my powers never manifested. My parents called me a failure, a pawn to marry off for their schemes. So, I ran. I left behind everything: my fated mates, the academy where future leaders of Ostania are forged, and the destiny that demanded my obedience. For three years, I've lived in the shadows, trying to survive. But now, I got dragged back to the academy, my duties, and the dangerous games of power and survival. Life and death are daily lessons here. My Nexus despises me, my enemies want me dead, and everyone thinks I'm broken. A girl with no powers. But they can't know the truth. My powers are a secret I must protect at all costs. *this is a why choose/reverse harem book where the FMC ends up with more than one partner *this story is a work of fiction *this book will contain smut (later in the story)
A COURT OF SHIFTERS AND SECRETS
Finding out that your parents, the people that raised you your whole life, weren't your actual parents was hard. Being told at the ripe ol' age of eighteen that you're the last living member from an Ancient Shifter line, the one responsible for creating the First Shifters, was inconceivable. Especially when a group of assassins were on their way to exterminate me simply for just existing. Kidnapped from my bed by three extremely stunning and grumpy Alphas, and forced to attend a special Shifter University located in the middle of nowhere, I have to navigate an unfamiliar and unknown secreted world while simultaneously trying avoiding those who want to use my lineage to enact an age-old curse. Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."Complete
Into the Depths | Chronicles of Nemo
"After you achieved your revenge, after that brief moment of ecstasy at finally doing it, killing the person who caused you so much harm, you felt empty inside. It's as if all the actions you took, all the sacrifices you made, all the people you cut off, in the end they were all meaningless. Some forms of revenge help you grow into someone new, be it better or worse. But revenge like ours, they just make us feel like everything would be better without us." "And?" "And I don't want anyone to give into that hopelessness, that emotion is exclusively for me." A lone journey through life, scarred by the actions taken in the past, guided by the promise to ensure it happens to no other in the world. Nemo was not a hero, nor did he try to masquerade as one, but when one's aim is to hurt the ones that exploit others and aid those who need it, some may mistake him as one, and who is he to argue. On a regular day, around dusk, the assassin is tasked to break into a castle. It was supposed to be a simple payday for Nemo, but a strange encounter with another, slighted by the world, hell-bent on revenge, the circumstance too familiar for him to ignore. How do two scorned by the fates help each other to become complete as they fight against the malice everpresent in the world? (Book 1 is Updated Every 2 Weeks) (Posted on both Royal Road and Inkitt)
