The horizon is basically defined as the junction between the heaven and the earth. A border that separates the celestial from the earthly. The line between the sky and the ground. The horizon shows us the different contrasts of life. The high and the low. The divine and the mortal. It shows the totality of life, which is not purely of spirit and of flesh but rather of both.

Every short story written in this anthology expresses their own unique identity and flavour, showing the different tapestry of life. Just as how the horizons emphasise the contrasts of nature, this short story anthology tries to demonstrate the diversity not only of genre or setting, but of themes and aspects of human life. The contrasts of the personal and the political, of romance and friendship, of the sacred and the secular. Life is like a collection of short stories. Each page turns into a different dimension and a different setting. No two short stories, just like the real life they represent, are alike.

Freedom's Horizon (WLW) (Full Trilogy - Editing) by Sora-The-Runaway
77 parts Ongoing Mature
Freedom's Horizon begins in 1674 and the Caribbean calls to many, including a band of those desperate to capture their enemies and perhaps even their past. As the Ghost Crew of the Midnight Scarlet sail the open oceans, they run into multiple obstacles the likes of which were never seen by man. False memories haunt them. Hidden truths continue to elude them. Their captain, perhaps the most fierce and loyal of the lost is even effected by the horrors they face. Traipsing the length of the world, the Ghosts must uncover reality for themselves, but can they when the fake and the genuine continue feeding into one another? This misfit lot isn't even whom they appear and those who desire what they have, or to crush it wage their unwavering pursuits. Will the Ghost fight and sail onward through their blessed seas, or has their past finally met them to cast them into the abyss forever? Cover will reflect current story. Book Three: After the better part of over one and a half centuries, it is finally time for the Ghost Crew to unite. Margaret, working as a warehouse laborer, is thrust back into the fight and plagued by night terrors only worsened as the days go forward. Still, there is hope on the lovely horizon that may just hold the ultimate end to their greatest foe, reuniting their family so that they might journey even further toward that great unknown and illusive freedom. Desperate for its revelation, can the Ghost Crew locate it after all these centuries, or are their fates forever sealed by that which they cannot defeat, that dark harbinger ever present in all ventures of life...? ⚠️Trigger Warning: This novel contains intense action sequences, stylized fighting, mentions of past enslavement of certain characters, death and ancient religious themes. ❤ Mature/Erotic Content ⚢ Lesbian/Romance 📚 Historical/Fantasy/Mythology.
