vin·cu·lum
Origin:
mid 17th century (in the sense 'bond, tie'): from Latin, literally 'bond', from vincire 'bind'.
"God is dead," philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche famously said.
God isn't dead.
However, when a cascade of situations reap catastrophic consequences, God is nowhere to be found. Can a vampire, an assassin, angels, a demon, and a handful of mortals stop the domino effect? Or will the shadows that have begun to loom over Earth envelope the world completely?

Trapped In The Allure Of Sins
After a painful heartbreak, Clara swore never to love again. Longing for a fresh start, she prepared for her life-changing surgery... only to awaken in an unfamiliar world, where fate's allure twisted her destiny. Mistaken for a princess whose identity was yet unknown to her, she was forced into marriage with a ruthless, blood-sucking king - a man feared by all, even death itself. But Clara's new reality was only the beginning. ********** In the deepest depths of the earth lies a sacred place of endless torment - Hell. A sacred land of sorrow, pain, and eternal punishment, specially made for those who committed different kinds of atrocities on earth. Yet, the true ruler of this sacred, cursed place is not Satan, nor Lucifer, but a being far more ancient and feared. Demons, witches, immortals - even Satan himself - bow to his name. The one who whispered rebellion into Lucifer's heart, the fear that feeds on silence, the one whose existence the Bible never dared to reveal. His identity remains unknown to all humans, not because it was forgotten, but because it was forbidden. His allure thrives in mystery for what is more terrifying than an enemy you can't name? But the question remains ..... Who is this king of Hell?.... Why was his name forbidden for all mortal being?.... What is his true purpose for creating all the evil that thrives in the world?........ And most importantly why was Clara-a broken-hearted human on the brink of a new life dragged into a completely different world?..... The questions remain constant...... yet unremarkable answered.

Saving Tally (last Book 6) Jacobs Broken Mercenaries
The walls between heaven, hell, and earth no longer exist. There are no more rules, and humans are becoming extinct. Only the strong and the clever will survive. The fate of the world rests on their shoulders. Jacob is missing after sending off his last true tie to earth; into the hands of the devil. Lucifer is fighting for control over a land he despises. The crew is hiding out in faery just trying to survive. Can Jacob save the day? Does he even want to? In this last installment of Jacob's broken mercenaries. All the answers will come to fruition. In a world where you're either the hero or the villain. Lucifer lies heavily in the latter category, but to Tally (behind his wall of indifference), he's just normal. Maybe a little selfish. She desires him and understands him like no other. Does that make her evil, too? How will this story end? There's so many questions, and only two possible outcomes are definite. The end or a new beginning.Complete

His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated.
