One scream. One step into the woods. That's all it took to unravel everything Nyx thought she knew about her life in Salem.
What she found waiting wasn't just darkness-it was a secret world of monsters that had been hiding in plain sight. Sirens. Werewolves. Demons. And a fate far darker than she ever imagined.
Because hell isn't a place beneath us. Sometimes... it's waiting right behind the trees.

Whispers of the Reaper
In the twilight between life and death, where time stands still and silence reigns, a lone Reaper walks the Veil-a liminal realm where souls linger before crossing to the beyond. This Reaper is no ordinary harvester of souls. Known only as Nyx, she bears the ancient burden of memory. Her task is not just to collect the dead, but to bear witness to who they were. In Whispers of the Reaper, Nyx becomes the narrator of forgotten lives, unraveling the stories of the souls she guides-stories of love and betrayal, sacrifice and regret, triumph and despair. Each chapter is a tale from a different soul: a war hero haunted by choices, a mother who died to save her child, a traitor who was once a savior, a poet whose words never reached the world. As Nyx listens, she offers no judgment, only remembrance. With every soul she guides, pieces of her own forgotten past start to emerge, hinting that she, too, was once human-and perhaps still is. The boundary between reaper and reaped begins to blur as Nyx uncovers a mystery buried deep within the souls she ferries and the truth of her own existence. Poetic, haunting, and intimate, Whispers of the Reaper is a meditation on mortality, memory, and the stories we leave behind. Through the eyes of death, it reveals what it truly means to live.Complete
Let me help. (A Siva Kaneswaran story)
Nyx is a girl with a secret. She sees ghosts. Her father didn't like the fact that she sees them, so he would punish her. She is now a scarred adult who wants to do everything herself.

They end up falling in love, but will everything work out in their favor in the end?Complete
Hollowspire
In a city where magic is bound by iron and oaths, Nyx has spent years hunting the things that slip through the cracks - demons, devourers, creatures whispered about in forgotten prayers. She's good at it, until a single mission leaves her bloodied, bound to a voice she can't silence, and staring down a war she doesn't understand. As her orders grow murky and the wards that keep the world safe begin to flicker, Nyx is pulled deeper into a web of old prophecies and older hungers. Every step she takes toward the truth draws her closer to the thing she's sworn to destroy... and to the shadowed figure whose help she can't seem to refuse. Ancient power is waking. The Spire is hollowing. And Nyx may be the last barrier between the world and a hunger older than its name. Please feel free to give constructive criticism. It's been a while since I've been back in the writing game but I got inspired for this.
Requiem Of Shadows
Death chose Seraphine Valen long before she chose herself. Eighteen years old and soaked in the blood of everyone she ever loved, she rises from the carnage with something no mortal should possess: the power to command death itself. A single touch snuffs out life. A single thought bends destruction to her will. The darkness inside her is awake... and hungry. Her awakening draws the Banes, creatures of nightmare and hunger, eager to possess the weapon she has become. Fleeing a world unraveling into ruin, Seraphine is taken into Death's Castle-an ancient labyrinth where the walls remember every soul that's ever screamed. There she meets an unlikely trinity of allies: a diviner who sees the threads of fate fraying, a war vampire addicted to blood and battle, and a brute whose strength is matched only by his fierce loyalty. But as her ancestry unfolds-a legacy woven from dark and light-a deeper horror stirs in the void, older than gods, older than death. And it has been waiting for her.Complete
Unveilded by the Depths

Freedom was supposed to be simple. But nothing in my life ever turns out simple. Just down the road, past the places I thought I knew by heart, there's another world-one I never imagined existed. A world with a father I'd been told was dead. A world that wants to claim me as much as my mother does. Now I'm stuck in the middle of a tug-of-war between two lives, two homes... and maybe even two hearts. And the worst part? The more I uncover about who I really am, the more I realize high school might have been the safest place I'll ever know.Complete

A COURT OF SHIFTERS AND SECRETS
Finding out that your parents, the people that raised you your whole life, weren't your actual parents was hard. Being told at the ripe ol' age of eighteen that you're the last living member from an Ancient Shifter line, the one responsible for creating the First Shifters, was inconceivable. Especially when a group of assassins were on their way to exterminate me simply for just existing. Kidnapped from my bed by three extremely stunning and grumpy Alphas, and forced to attend a special Shifter University located in the middle of nowhere, I have to navigate an unfamiliar and unknown secreted world while simultaneously trying avoiding those who want to use my lineage to enact an age-old curse. Join Nova Nyx as she's dragged into a world full of Shifters, Secrets, and Startling Surprises. ~~~ "Mates?" I repeated owlishly, blinking rapidly at the one worded bomb they just dropped on me "What are Mates?" Instead of answering my question, they just stared back at me in silence, arms crossed over their broad chests. I ignored their silence, choosing to focus on second part of their sentence. "And you're telling me I have three of them?" I gawked "How many are you supposed to get? I can barely handle myself and my life at this point and you want me to worry about three other people?" Of course the most annoying man I've ever met smirked at my bafflement. "I don't think it'll be such a hardship for you" he said, arrogance lacing his tone "After all, I hear these three Mates of yours are very self-sufficient." "Don't forget extremely gorgeous" his Buffon of a friend chimed in, winking at me "That's a plus for you Princess." "One," the third one growled out at me, finally speaking up and adding subsistence to the conversation, startling the banter from the other two "You're only supposed to be blessed with one Mate in your entire lifetime."Complete
The Weight of a Vow
(Book 1 of The Keystone Saga Book Series) When Nyx Kier Nocturne is found by House Vrokar-starved, silent, and a breath from the Veil, she makes a single promise: she will not lie where it counts. Within days, hidden truths surface. She is nineteen. By fae law, she must be taken in, fed, and shielded until strength returns. In the mountain hush beneath twin moons and the world's silver ring, shelter becomes schooling. Fingers that once knew only work and want are taught the weight of a blade, the stance that keeps a heartbeat safe, the poise that makes a vow hold. Yet the more Nyx mends, the louder old echoes stir-songs no one should hear, doors no one should open, loyalties that do not fit neatly inside a single House. As winter deepens, strangers become something like family, a warrior's steadiness becomes an anchor, and whispers of the darker arts wind through candlelit halls. When rite bells toll and the sky itself seems to listen, Nyx must decide what kind of truth she will keep: the truth that protects, or the one that binds. Love asks for honesty. Power asks for courage. Not all hunger is for food. Not all sanctuary is still. And not every witness remains only a witness.
In the twilight between life and death, where time stands still and silence reigns, a lone Reaper walks the Veil-a liminal realm where souls linger before crossing to the beyond. This Reaper is no ordinary harvester of souls. Known only as Nyx, she bears the ancient burden of memory. Her task is not just to collect the dead, but to bear witness to who they were.

The boundary between reaper and reaped begins to blur as Nyx uncovers a mystery buried deep within the souls she ferries and the truth of her own existence. Poetic, haunting, and intimate, Whispers of the Reaper is a meditation on mortality, memory, and the stories we leave behind. Through the eyes of death, it reveals what it truly means to live.
