With growing dread, Arati starts to piece together a chilling realization: Neeti isn't just struggling with loss - she's in the grip of something otherworldly. An ancient curse, long dormant, has awakened and latched onto Neeti's very soul. As Neeti grapples with forces she doesn't understand, Arati must race against time to uncover the nature of this curse and find a way to break it before it consumes her niece. But the roots of this malevolent force run deep, tangled in family secrets and forgotten history. Can Arati unravel the mystery and save Neeti from a fate worse than death?Or will the silent curse claim another victim in its centuries-old vendetta?

Whispers of Nowhere by RebelDynasty

**AVAILABLE ON AMAZON** (Book One in the Whispers of Nowhere trilogy) When Gwen's father gets home late from work, it's just another typical night for the museum curator's daughter. Still, there's something strange about the artifacts he's brought home this time, something so unique that she can't help but touch them. In a blinding flash, the artifacts vanish, and a mysterious man appears in their place. Only he's not a man at all. Forneus is a daemon, an intermediary between gods and man-and the guardian of the very artifacts Gwen has just unwittingly sent back to their places of origin around the globe. Gwen doesn't have time to absorb this before a new figure emerges: Phenex, the human-personification of the legendary bird, himself. The next thing she knows, she's being whisked away from the comfort of her home into a world beyond her wildest imaginings. When she thinks things couldn't possibly get any more complicated, she's proven wrong. Because those bizarre artifacts? They were protective seals to a place called Nowhere; a prison realm created by the gods to contain all of the malevolent forces Gwen has only heard about in bedtime stories. Now those very same forces are on the rampage, intent on revenge against the gods whom imprisoned them-and they don't care who else gets hurt along the way. Possessing innate powers she can't even begin to understand, it is up to Gwen and her two mysterious allies to reclaim the lost artifacts before someone far more sinister does...

"Eternal Guardians: The Cosmic Dance of the Misty Valley" by Brittany716938

In the heart of a secluded, mist-shrouded valley, where ancient trees stand sentinel and the air is thick with secrets, "Whispers in the Mist" unfolds. As the first light of dawn breaks through the dense canopy, it reveals an enchanting world of untamed wilderness and mystery. The protagonist, a curious and determined young woman named Elara, embarks on a journey through this enigmatic realm. Her path winds through towering groves of ancient redwoods, their colossal trunks cloaked in emerald moss, and vines that seem to reach out like ghostly fingers. The forest floor is a carpet of velvety moss, where dew-kissed ferns unfurl their delicate fronds with every cautious step. Amidst the ethereal mist that swirls through the trees, Elara stumbles upon a forgotten, overgrown path leading to a hidden village. As she approaches, the dilapidated cottages emerge from the fog like specters from another era. The village seems abandoned, but the echoes of laughter and the scent of meals once cooked in those kitchens linger in the air, hinting at a vibrant past. Beyond the village, Elara discovers a hidden glen adorned with a profusion of wildflowers in every hue imaginable. It's a place where time seems to stand still, and the songs of unseen birds fill the air with an enchanting melody. At the heart of the glen, a colossal, gnarled oak tree stands sentinel, its roots intertwined with legends and folklore. Throughout "Whispers in the Mist," the natural world is as much a character as the people who inhabit it. The misty valley, with its ancient trees, hidden villages, and meandering river, becomes a realm where secrets are unearthed, destinies entwined, and the boundaries between reality and enchantment blur. Readers will find themselves transported to a place where the line between the ordinary and the extraordinary dissolves, leaving them captivated by the beguiling beauty and profound mysteries of this vividly depicted world.
