"Do you see my smile? Because I certainly can't."
On a far away world there exists a place where one half of the planet is eternally day, and the other is eternally night. A mysterious sun-god promises great powers to all on one condition; relinquish your emotions. The ones that do so become hearers, which huddle up in isolated temples called 'mirrors' and hear the voice of the god, as they devise newfound songs to further explore the powers this god promises.
Rial was abused ever since she was little. She endured all the gruesome and disgusting torment brought upon her with the sheer purpose of keeping her younger brother, Mun, still within the realms of innocence and happiness. Years of exploitations and twisted willpower distorted Rial's mind to the point of psychopathy and insanity. Eventually Rial escaped her childhood hell, yet her past is not so keen at letting go.
Then Rial meets a hearer. And thoughts of curiosity, hatred, and vengeance swirl around her head.

Six shadows, One light
Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in abusing #1 in nightterror on 27/02/25 #1 in running on 2/2/25, 26/4 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #3 in siblingrivalry #18 in trauma #34 in littlesister #59 in mafiaComplete

SPIRIT- the curse of fire
|Book 1 of the Spirit Trilogy| Serena's life is about as normal as it gets - for an Alkanine at least - aside from her, slightly patriotic mother and obvious lack of fighting ability, for a citizen of Yanrie. Its pretty good for her, especially when her sister returns home from the front lines of the Zaross war right before her 15th birthday, the best present she could have. But upon meeting a boy from the neighboring kingdom of Miral she finds that the week leading up to her birthday may be a bit...chaotic, to say the least. (I fixed up the description. Because it sucked and now it doesn't...for now, let me look back on this in...say a month? And it'll suck again) Big thanks to @CateCandora12 for the epic cover!Complete
