After Death, Before the Fall is the first book of a planned trilogy.

What happens when someone with extraordinary power tries his entire life to better the lives of humanity, but that person keeps making the wrong decisions? How does that person, or the people affected by his decisions, recover from something a being with power beyond comprehension could do? 

Panik Cinestar is the Prince of the continent of Borivye's most powerful Kingdom. He was born with abilities that were unheard of in a human before and, because he's so afraid of what would happen if people found out about his powers, he has to do everything he can to hide them. Growing older, in line for the throne, he finds himself in many situations that leave him with options nobody would want to pick from. Events that could potentially reveal his uniqueness to the world. 

How does someone so kind hearted, so pure, so sympathetic, send an entire city to ruin and take many innocent lives? Three soldiers from across the ocean would like to find the answers from Panik himself.All Rights Reserved

A Day of Sorrow, The Tales of Old by FreeReinVikings

A day like any other, turned to blood and misery in the blink of an eye. The soul devourers had been withheld for thousands of years, the residents beyond Riverin's walls growing comfortable. Their ignorance could be their downfall as everything crumbles. Even the veterans aren't prepared for an assault, underestimating their opponent. Carnade, born to another land, has found a home in Riverin. He's always known how great a threat the devourers were, but he never thought their first strike would be Riverin. Now he has to choose between protecting his family or the people he swore himself to. Derosai was born and raised in Riverin, dedicating her life to abolishing the soul devourer race from the face of Alatine. Everything she worked toward. Everything her and her husband planned could be torn away. Her husband believes their son to be the key to ending the devourer blight and if he perishes, there won't be anyone to stop the second dark war. Alithium was born to another world, frozen and far from Riverin. Unlikely events destroy everything she holds dear, tearing her away from the only home she's ever known by thrusting her into a foreign land. One of heat and despair. She soon finds out how unwelcoming man can be, taken into a city on the brink of destruction. Her only goal is to escape. Their problems, man or devourer... it didn't concern her. Their faces, all the death, and all the screams. I can still see and hear them to this day - Crow Akroth This is A Day of Sorrow, By Dominik Sorensen. I hope you enjoyed the introduction, the first three chapters. If you did, you can find the full novel on amazon. The link is in my LinkTree in our bio. But, I do want to advise you to read (A Promise of Blood) before this novel. It takes place before A Day of Sorrow and is quite relevant to understand certain points of this novel. You can also find the order to read my novels in our bio.

Caged By Him by moonchild80

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage. Unfortunately for her, ruthless and cunning 26 year old Mafia leader and billionaire Tristan Black had other plans for her. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him? Or will she submit and accept her fate?

Feared Crimson King by MsDarkerdays

I flinched as his hand reached to my face, and aggressively pulled down the cloak from my head. His eyes scanned me, taking in my tear-stained face, my jewelry, the hem of my dress. Then he spoke, voice cold and measured. "What is your name?" I opened my mouth, but no words came. Fear tightened its grip. "I believe I asked you a question," he said, eyes darkening further. "Alice," I choked out between tears and ragged breaths of panic. His cold eyes stayed on my face a moment longer before he finally released my cloak from his grip. His gaze drifted to the window. "You will address me as Your Highness. I do not tolerate mistakes. I will not shy away from punishment, and if I have too, I will make sure you learn to never defy my order again. Do I make myself clear?" -------------------- In this world, everybody has a soulmate-two people destined to be together for the rest of their lives. Finding them isn't as hard as you might think, since every pair who belong together share the same symbol somewhere on their body. It is something you're born with, something unshakable, something meant to be. No matter the status or wealth, there is no doubt: soulmates belong together. Some grow up knowing their future soulmate, others find them later in life-but in the end, they always find each other. In my family's kingdom of Lyria, marrying someone who isn't your soulmate is a punishable crime. My father always believed in the bond. But what if the bond isn't meant to be after all... Or could it be that my soulmate is none other than Darkness himself-the heartless king our country is currently at war with, the one who leaves neither women nor children alive... ----- Rewritten version 2025 CAUTION This book contains violence and gore along with cursing. Also if you're triggered by domestic violence DONT READ THIS BOOK. Take care.

A Knight's Journey: The rise of a Modern World's cultivator by CalmWandererOriginal

Author: This story has romance and cultivation elements, though the most important part of it is its characters. I strive to portray their doubts, worries and disappointments, along with their hopes, happiness and pride, as well as I can. Characters will learn, grow and bravely transcend their fears, all in the hope of being able to live freely alongside their loved ones. This is what I enjoy writing and I hope you will also enjoy reading it. Synopsis: What happens after you die? This was a question that baffled many, with two mainstream thoughts battling each other: Religion with its Manichean division of Heaven and Hell and Science with its nihilistic approach of returning to the Universe as cosmic dust. Turned out Damian Knight, now Demian Mikhailov, discovered that none of those theories were actually true when his previous life's memories awakened after being knocked out by a gangster's heavy punch to the head. Now 18 years old with a deficient body, he will have to find a way to navigate this World's deep waters, where Fighters with transcendent Physical Attributes were merely at the bottom of the power scale. From Intrinsic Superhumans to Elemental Cultivators, a single misstep and death could snatch him again, with everything he built in this new life disappearing as if a mere illusion. Fortunately, his Reincarnation came with three incredible gifts: an Equalized Adaptive Physiology Perk, a Soul Bond Perk, and a Soul Shield Perk. Armed with those three Perks, the young man will grow his personal strength to protect not only himself but also his Aunt, Adeliya, and his two older cousins, Brynhild and Seraphine from this World's hidden forces, and with some luck it may even help him deal with those new and growing feelings birthed from the collision of his two lives. 'Choices have consequences'. A story of tangled Reincarnations, Forbidden Love, and Cultivation to Immortality. Check my Patreon. Let's enjoy this adventure together. Calm Wanderer

Serpent in Shackles by peachtwist3

Book 1 in a series! Despite what Emrys has been told, her Kingdom Abneer was not the only one to survive, King Reyes is not the only monarch, and monsters are real. Previously a soldier for the King, now betrothed to his son, Prince Roan, Emrys Ortega is starting to feel the burden of the title she never wanted. After repeatedly sneaking out of the palace leads to a sinister threat from the King, Emrys begins to worry for her family's safety. So when she learns that one of her kingdom's soldiers has been kidnapped by the Queen of another Kingdom, Valoria, she sees this as her opportunity to redeem herself in the King's eyes and protect her family. The only problem is that she had no idea the Kingdom of Valoria even existed. In fact, the Kingdom is unlike her own. It's filled with the same monsters from the stories she had been told-monsters of the night. In order to rescue the soldier, Emrys must team up with the notorious monster, the Shadow Knight, and his team of mercenaries. Through their missions and encounters with the monsters, Emrys not only learns the true extent of the lies she had been fed, but that the King has something planned, far bigger than she ever imagined, and finally realizes that her true enemies may not be the monsters after all.

I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head. He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper.

Reaping The Red Heir by eden_ari

He smiled. The devil himself couldn't have crafted a more wicked grin. "What do you say we play a game, little Reaper?" I narrowed my eyes, trying to decipher his intentions. "What kind of game?" His grin widened, showing the tips of his fangs. I watched the prince curiously as he strode over to his bag. With a swift motion, he withdrew a bow and a quiver of arrows, flinging them at my feet without so much as a second glance. I furrowed my eyebrows, casting him a look of uncertainty. That sinister grin stayed plastered upon his lips as he said, "Run." *** I, Skyla Ashforth, am what some might call a "sociopath." It was a title that fit. Why shouldn't I embrace it? I am a vampire slayer, a Reaper of bloodsuckers, and an exceptionally good one, if I do say so myself. Yes, being a sociopath has its perks; I could manipulate and deceive with the best of them. So, when captured by the notorious Red Prince, I embraced the challenge of manipulating my freedom. Pierce Darcee, was a sadistic vampire with a God complex. The fool actually believed he could break me. Little did he know, I was the kind of Reaper who would dance through a battlefield, whistling a merry tune as I twirled my braids. I relished the challenge of manipulating his oversized ego, planning to stab that rotting, blackened heart of his with a venom-laced dagger. I crafted a scheme so delightful, so intricate, that I couldn't help but salivate at the prospect of victory. It was foolproof, or so my mind believed. But then... then there was that pull. That unexpected, unwelcome spark that ignited something within me. Feelings, of all things! Now, that was a complication. Disgusting, messy feelings that could very well lead to my destruction. Or his. It was a dangerous game we played, but then again, the most thrilling ones usually are. *Rated M for Murder, Mayhem, and some profanity. Sorry but no smutty interludes. You've stumbled into a blood bath, not a bodice ripper.*

The Exiled King | ✔ by Calagtic

Fifty years ago, demons invaded the mortal realm of Dargon, leaving a trail of destruction across the five kingdoms. The six Guardians of that generation united the kingdoms and fought back against the demons, scattering their ashes to the winds. Then, they vanished into legend, and with them, their powers. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? There are rumours that another demon army gathers in the fiery realm of the Abyss, greater than the first and led by a cunning mastermind whose motivations are unknown. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death.

House of Ash and Gold by herokirito22

Power wears many faces. Magic is just one of them. When a sickly noble heir stumbles upon a strange gift - the ability to see through the veil of power. He sets out to rebuild his crumbling house, not with sword or spell... but with silver, strategy, and secrets. But in a Kingdom where strength is currency and weakness gets buried, Cael Varissen must learn fast: wealth is fragile, war is inevitable, and magic? It's far older and hungrier than anyone cares to admit. What if the most dangerous magic wasn't in spells, but in shrewd business deals... and dangerous alliances of the heart? In a world where political ambition, economic strategy, and forbidden desires hold as much sway as any ancient power, every alliance comes with a price. This is the heart of House of Ash and Gold. ... What to expect: Slow-burn political fantasy with teeth Layered worldbuilding A subtle, mysterious magic system Romance threaded through ambition What NOT to Expect: Instant overpowered MC Fast-food pacing Harem or shallow romance One-note villains Endless exposition dumps
