2018 • [ A CROOKED TALE, a phantom's whisper, watch it burn, feel it blister. ] •

A forest. A hut on chicken's feet. A fence of blood and bone.

Before she was Baba Yaga, she was just a girl. 

Fuelled by spite and hatred for the world around her, Yaga Izeva has always had two faces. A beautiful one, the tailor's girl and a perfect wife, and the other, far darker than anyone could've ever imagined.

Because things like that didn't happen in their village - until they did.

With the blood of her village on her hands and nowhere to turn to, Yaga runs to the open arms of the forest, where the water runs black and the trees are haunted by ghosts of the past.

Power is a pretty thing - before it consumes you.

Go to sleep, children.

And watch out for Baba Yaga.

Despair: The Vampire King's Mate by Empress_A

Prologue: I woke up lying on a cold surface. I can smell the sweetest scent of roses. I can see lighted candles surrounding me in the dim light. The shadow of the rumored creature, who was so desperate for his death, is nearing me. In partial darkness, I can see his fiery red glimmering eyes and the sadness beneath it as well. "My queen," a mellow voice, emanating from him, echoed through my ears, "and my end." Could this be his final greetings? - Overview: Vladmyr Kingdom, an estate of overflowing vengeance. Yfel Kingdom, the worst of Vladmyr Kingdom's enemies, has been ruthlessly disrupting serenity in all of the country's kingdom over the century. It is led by the faceless, rumored inhumane, and most vicious ruler of the history. The past decades, however, has been strangely peaceful as the Yfel Kingdom lies low from unwielding battles. What could have triggered its silence? The heroine, a Vladmyr Kingdom trooper, only seeks to recollect her family which was dismantled by the war among the kingdoms. Little did she know, as soon as she steps inside the battlefield, she faces a dead end. There shall be no escape, for her fate has been decided. Persons, and 'paranormal' creatures, shall cross her path. Impressions shall pop out in a snap. Reality shall be revealed. Her role has been written; a vital one that may either bring end to the catastrophe or further accelerate the annihilation of the kingdoms.

Siren Song (The Fated #1) by UnboundWings

Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her. After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has. Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by Morana

What if the fate of two worlds were in the hands of one person: you? The childhood secret of a troubled teen warrior is used against her by her enemies. It turns out what Neiko imagined is real, and she becomes trapped in the same world she imagined by an otherworldly evil that is worse than the devil. Getting home is the least of her problems.

Neiko later finds out that a land she thought she had only imagined is actually real, and the dark being is not a figment of her childhood imagination-he is terrifyingly real, and she faces him for the first time. To make matters worse, it is now in her world, and he has evil plans especially for her.
