9 parts Complete Mature
Dive into the shadowy depths of the Maw, a chilling collection of eight stories that peel back the curtains on the darkest corners of this nightmarish world. Each tale invites you to experience the Maw through the eyes of those who dared to dream-and found themselves ensnared. 1. **The Dreamers' Descent** - Four researchers challenge the boundaries of reality, only to find themselves trapped in the twisted labyrinths of the Maw, where their experiment turns into a fight for survival. 2. **Echoes of Hunger** - A gaunt chef's obsession with perfection leads to horrifying culinary experiments. Discover what lies behind his mask and the grotesque meals he prepares. 3. **The Janitor's Watch** - Explore the life of the Maw's blind janitor, who uses the echoes of the corridors to capture any who stray too far from safety. His tale is one of loneliness and the desperate need for connection. 4. **Little Lost Lights** - Follow the flickering journey of a lost spirit, a remnant of a failed escape, seeking salvation among the living children still hoping to find their way out. 5. **The Librarian's Silence** - In the Maw's forsaken library, a once-avid scholar seeks forbidden knowledge that could either free her or bind her to the Maw forever. 6. **The Engine's Heart** - Deep within the bowels of the Maw, the engine room harbors a dark secret. A young mechanic uncovers the truth about what powers the Maw-and the cost of its hunger. 7. **The Nursery of Shadows** - A former caretaker recounts her eerie experiences with the ghostly children who play eternal games within the walls of the Maw's nursery. 8. **The Ferryman's Voyage** - A mysterious figure who ferries the lost souls across the shadowy waters beneath the Maw reveals his ancient origins and the true nature of his curse. Each story intertwines with the others, spinning a web of terror, mystery, and the slim possibility of redemption. Will you brave the dark?

28 parts Complete Mature
Kiara Blackmoon. A powerful Alpha whose pack was slaughtered not too long ago. Now a rouge, she has been on the run, hunted by the same people who tore her pack apart. Not only because she is the last living member of the Blackmoon pack... but because she is also the last black wolf. Thrust into a new reality once again, will she be able to fit in? When life is against her, how will she cope with her new friends, allies, and her soulmate? Will she be able to let them in? Or will she forever keep to herself? Liam Grayson. Alpha of the White Shadow pack. His life hasn't been easy. Second in line, he wasn't likely to become Alpha. That changed when his brother died the same night Kiara's pack was slaughtered. 3 years later when he finally meets Kiara, he is surprised to find they're mates. What's more odd, is their connection. One that can only truly be formed if they perhaps grew up together, but that's impossible. Liam and Kiara have never met. He knows this to be true. What happens when the past comes back to haunt them both? New enemies will be revealed that threaten them both. Will they be strong enough to fight and live? ***** Black wolves are the strongest of any wolf; they are faster than any wolf; they have heightened senses beyond compare. Said to be a myth, black wolves are feared among others due to the lack of information about them. And what people don't understand, they tend to destroy. **#26 in blackwolf **#18 in fastpaced

But then she meets Luke. He's a vampire but he's unlike any vamp Kiara's ever known. ***** Luke may be what Kiara's been looking for her whole life, but as far as her family is concerned, the only good vampire is a dead vampire. The closer she grows to him, the more Kiara is forced to confront the foundation of lies her life has been built on. But Kiara's bloodthirsty family isn't the only problem they have to face. People in town are dying. Something evil is looming on the horizon... [[word count: 100,000 - 150,000]] Cover designed by Holly Thurston
