He's been skipping classes, hasn't been to work in days and isn't responding to his friend's urgent text messages. For someone who loves his mundane routine, like Xander, this behavior is significantly out of character. But when you're inducted into a death game against your will, attending your business class suddenly becomes low priority, especially when your professor and former classmates have turned into nothing but creepy shadows walking around.
Kissing his much loved routine goodbye, Xander follows a guy who had just frozen an old man in time, then chopped him in two. Will he get chopped too? Or will he manage to survive long enough to exit this new reality where throwing fireballs, summoning swords out of thin air and making ordinary objects explode are commonplace?

Ashes and Embers by EvilynRonan

"I warned you, Kristina," he said, leaning closer to me, his hand scorching my wrist, his silver eyes darkening to a stormy grey. "I told you what would happen if you defied me." Fire was racing up and down my arm. The rose necklace burned at my throat. "I love you, my Angel," he murmured, his eyes closing as he brought my hand up to his cheek. "The only question is, do you love me?" *** When Kriss Darcy returns to her family's upstate New York manor after her first year of university, she has no idea what the future has in store for her. A nineteen-year-old former theater star, she hasn't sung for others since her father, her idol and coach, died two years prior. But an obsession changes everything. A heavenly voice. Whispers of help. Passionate music stirring the air... and terrorizing the residents of the manor. A silver glare and a burning self-hatred. That's Ash. Childhood memories. A stolen kiss. Binging sitcoms... and confusing the hell out of Kriss. A shamrock gaze and a boyish charm. That's Jase. As the past meets the present, Kriss must decide what she wants. But every choice has a consequence - some more dire than others. *** "To love is to burn, to be on fire. Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility. And I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want to be set on fire." -------- #1 in masquerade - June 15, 2021 #1 in angel - November 8, 2021 #4 in demons - November 8, 2021 #7 in opera - April 3, 2022

Fairy Tail: Shadows (3rd Book In the "Intertwined Fates" Series!) by Cryptic_Eyes

Book #3 Lucy sacrificed herself to save Fiore; to stop the machine Loren and Lores constructed to destroy everything. But in order for it to have been destroyed, Lucy forced Natsu to let go of her over the cliff, falling to her death. But...wait. When Loren approaches a devastated Natsu she says that the one responsible for their mind control was a man long forgotten, who's true purpose was to get his one and only true prize: Lucy. And, Loren tells Natsu and the others they can rescue her, but they have to go to the place where shadows lie; the Black Stars. {Used from my previous story, Fairy Tail: The Luminous Star of Caballeen!} There, Lucy is trapped, being held as a trophy by the man and frozen in time. If Loren and Lores open the portal, they can go inside and save her. However, there is a catch; only one person can go inside. And, as soon as they enter the Black Stars, they would be overrun with Shadow monsters; hundreds of them all over the place. The man who has Lucy has control of the Black Stars, and would send the pursuer into different realms to battle different monsters. But Natsu doesn't care. He'd do anything to get Lucy back, and to save her from being trapped all alone forever. Automatically claiming he'd go and not let anyone else take his place, Natsu dives in to the land of the shadows; the Black Stars. Will Natsu save Lucy and bring her home, back to him and the others? Find out what happens in all the chaos in Fairy Tail: Shadows.

That was my best friend Jayson" "Best friends don't have their hands all over you" he spat with a deep voice. "I owed him a - wait. I don't have to tell you anything" I yelled and walked around him. I started to walk back to the ballroom but my hand was yanked back. "What was he doing so close to your face?" his eyes now blacked. "He was looking at my necklace and you are very possessive over nothing" I spat turning around. I stopped when I heard a rip. I took a deep breathe and slowly turned around. I looked at Lucifer who had a smirk on his face. I looked down to see my necklace broken in pieces. Tears were now forming in my eyes. I bend down and scoped up the piece of necklace. "Don't tell me you're going to cry over a f*cking necklace" he chuckled in a deep voice. I took off my heels and held it in one hand and held the pieces of necklace in the other. Lucifer kept talking but I was just trying to hold my tears in. ********************************************* ATTENTION READERS!!!

Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in. When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book! This book will contain topics of SA, eating disorders, and mature content, if any of these things may bother you in anyway, please scroll! I hope when I finish this book I can public a clean version, with a different perspective leaving out these topics, but for now, this is how i've envisioned this story to go! Enjoy -Ash🌸
