To forget is to kill. The souls of the Great War were forgotten, their sacrifice was naught for a second war came. The war began with negligence, as the bringers of this new madness forgot humanity.
And there in the city of Warsaw was the greatest bulk of it all. For the forgetfulness of humanity brought unbenounced suffering. It brought death to many Stars. It brought destruction twice to a city, by bomb then shell. It brought two Uprisings, by Jew and Pole. It brought two survivors, A Jew and a Pole. It brought two soldiers, a Fritz and a German. It brought humanity at its best, at its worst. It brought light, dark. It brought Stars, Night.
This not a tale of adventure or love. For a time as this could not be such. The only kind of story that fits this tale is of one of tragedy. It is only fitting for an encryption of death and sacrifice. As is a tale of poor souls living in the now dark Poland.

After the Light: The Last 15
🌌 What if one light ended the world... and chose 15 souls to begin something else entirely? On a quiet night, a brilliant light descended from the sky. It pulsed once - then the world was empty. The next morning, only 15 people remained across the entire globe. Strangers. Survivors. Unexplained. Among them - a gifted engineer, a doctor with secrets, four scientists, two innocent kids, and a girl with memories she shouldn't have. Then there's Rei, a loner with no past... and the only one who heard the voice in the light. As they find each other, strange things begin to happen - time glitches, symbols burned into stone, whispers from the stars, and visions of a planet that doesn't exist on any map. When 8 of them launch a desperate journey into deep space to find the source of the light - they face betrayal, loss, alien warzones, and a mysterious world called K71-Gaudy, where nothing is what it seems. And at the heart of it all lies a stone - powerful enough to bring back humanity... or end it forever. 🔥 A love that blooms in the stars. A mystery buried in extinction. A battle between what was lost and what can never return. This is not just the end of the world. This is what comes After the Light.Complete
Soulbound (Bound by Desire #1)
What did they mean? I knew who I was, didn't I? I was Rosalia Mallory, a girl left on the doorstep of our town's foster agency to find a new home.

After all, if you don't know your whole past how can you answer that for yourself?Complete
The experiment.
They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do.

Death Is My BFFLAD (Book Two Original Series)
(Bfflad- Best friends for life and death) Dear Reader, Let's start at the beginning shall we? I died. Oh no, not one of these stories again where someone angelic and heroic saves the damsel in distress. If only I was that lucky. My heart stopped beating. My lungs stopped working, my soul began to lift away... And then I was saved by a beautiful man with a kind heart and sparkles sprinkled around his head in a golden halo. A cunning, dazzling smile etched his angled features and his hair lay perfectly on his head like...black, sinful layers of pure cynical distrusting evil. Evil that was just waiting to onset a innocent girl as myself and allow her a short amount of time of happiness, and then finish her off when she became older. I'll give you a hint. The beginning of that description was slightly exaggerated. The Angel of Death. One of the only creatures known that was capable of settling the boundaries of heaven on earth. The only creature capable of making one of the Devil's darkest deals to my loving mother; a second chance for her daughter. This comes with consequences of course. Everything you know about Death is wrong. Death is not natural, Death is not normal, Death is not doleful, and Death is far from mercenary. Death blends into the shadows like coal against the most atramentous sky. Death walks the earth with his cursed, monstrous and exotic features, his enticing voice and betraying alluring eyes. Death deceives, scratches, and plays with your mind, until you slowly and painfully loose your grip on reality. He'll make you believe he's a different person, that there's a sliver hope for him. Hope for you. Death is close.

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Complete
