*Trigger Warning* This book depicts suicide and mental illness. 

Some souls are born to break the cycle. Others were never meant to live at all.

Seventeen-year-old Ellie Lucas never asked to inherit a legacy of death. But after her mother's mysterious suicide and a cryptic note left behind, Ellie's world spirals into something far darker than grief. Haunted by visions, pulled into weekly therapy sessions that she dreads, and shadowed by a boy from her past with secrets of his own, Ellie learns the truth, she carries divine blood and is fated to die... unless she becomes something worse.

Killian, the son of the God of Death, Ankou, was meant to claim her soul. Instead, he watches over her, bound by a curse of his own. As ancient Celtic powers awaken and soul-devouring creatures threaten the balance between Gods and humans, Ellie finds herself caught between destiny and defiance, love and vengeance, the living and the dead.

But when the ultimate betrayal reveals someone who once was closest to her true motives, Ellie's fate is no longer hers to mourn-it's hers to rewrite.

If your soul was the price for power, would you still fight to be free?	
Dive into a supernatural thrill ride where mythology meets mortality-and every choice echoes in eternity.

MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE by TeeRexTales
18 parts Ongoing
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥

I began writing this at 15 and finished it at 17. It is my first novel, give me grace for that. [Warning: this book contains explicit content, crude language, drug use & abusive scenarios.] He tried everything, everything, everything to forget her. No matter how hard he fought, the memories wouldn't fade. She wasn't some dream girl, she was the dreamy one who taunted him. A blonde viper that shattered every part of him. But picking up the pieces? That's the part he never thought he'd get around to. Ace Valentino doesn't do what people expect-he's the guy who walks on the wild side just because he wants to. A brooding young man with a dark side fueled by brokenness, addiction, and bad decisions. His heart is still held hostage by his stoic, adrenaline-obsessed ex. How could he move on with that? It isn't plausible. So, he drowns the pain with alcohol and anything that numbs him. But Ace has secrets, ones he vowed to bury forever. Then, his new neighbor moves in and suddenly, something inside him stirs-something he's not ready for, and everything he's terrified of. Willow Andrews, sweet yet scarred, knows nothing but loneliness. Her guardian's abuse has built walls around her big heart. Love is a stranger to her, and she's afraid of what she doesn't understand. But something about Ace, the tortured soul next door, draws her in-despite the fear. In a world where love is something they can't quite reach, Ace and Willow collide. What could possibly come of this? Can they save each other, or will their pasts break them before they have a chance? The line between magic and misery is thinner than they think-and the change they both desperately need might just be the thing that destroys them, or... sets them free.
