Inferno: Book One of The Divine Tragedy Trilogy by DivineTragedy3

The Divine Tragedy Trilogy is Afro-punk BDSM meets Dante's Inferno. This poetic reimagining redefines "happily ever after," reminding readers that those three words mark the start of a journey filled with trials of their own. "Inferno" begins this modern retelling of Dante's Divine Comedy, centering on Angel Gabriel De La Cruz, a veteran-turned-businessman, and his wife, Dr. Elise Freeman-De La Cruz, as they navigate the wreckage of their failing marriage. Their descent into the nine circles of hell serves as a metaphor for their struggles with guilt, identity, and redemption. After a near-fatal motorcycle accident, Angel finds himself haunted by his past life in the BDSM scene-a persona he thought he had buried, only to see it resurrected as his "Diablo." Meanwhile, Elise, who has walked the straight and narrow path since her teenage pregnancy, begins to blossom in this journey through hell. Confronting Angel's secrets and exploring the world of BDSM, she discovers not only the truths of their marriage but also a newfound freedom in her own desires. But is Angel Hiding more? "Inferno" is a love letter to men's mental health, the resilience of relationships weathering infidelity, and the inquisitive Black reader who was once told being "alternative" was strange. Merging the mythic fall of Adam and Eve, Dante's Inferno, and the whimsy of Alice in Wonderland, Angel and Elise navigate the fiery depths of the nine circles in search of redemption and each other.

Nightwalker by Social_Introvert

Time didn't matter to her. She got up when the sun did and tried to sleep when the sun went down. because of this seemingly endlessness, she's forgotten her name, she's forgotten her family and she's forgotten everything she use to be. Now she was nothing. Living on the streets of a town begging for money and food from travellers that didn't know who she was, unlike the rest of the town that thought of her as something unnatural even though she doesn't know why. Constantly abused by the townspeople who don't understand her, she is left to die in an alleyway after a horrible run in with three drunk men. She was expecting to die and have her corpse eaten by rats and other vermin. What she didn't expect was to be saved by a woman that was everything but human. "Do you want to live?" This woman asked and when she looked into herself she knew the answer, it came easy through her busted lips. "Yes." From that day on she became something else, something not human, something extraordinary and from that day forth she will serve this woman who saved her life and maybe one day remember her name or be given one by her new Mistress. Maybe one day she'll remember who she was and maybe she'll even find the one person that completes her soul. From that day forth she became a Nightwalker. Completed. This is a lesbian story and contains mature actions between females. There will be warnings at the beginning of the chapter if you do not wish to read such content.

Just like to add a little disclaimer. ⚠️Nothing in this is real of course. But even the myths of the 'devil' have been messed around.

Awakening by BarbaraPy

This story was previously known as "The Awakening". ~*~ "One... two... three... one... two... three... a million... is that number right?" A figure less voice echoed. "Hello? Who's there?" Caliope asked, focusing on that voice. "One... two... who? A million... a billion... no, it's more... a legion..." Silence. She had seen too many horror movies and heard too many stories about that single word to overpass its meaning. The voice went quiet, yet she was still unable to see where it came from. She rubbed her eyes and all she could see around her was a thick path in a jungle-like scene. She didn't remember how she got there, but she knew it was for something important. Her eyes focused on the far end of the path and all she could see were more trees. She turned to the opposite side and found just the same. "One... two... billions... but always back at one..." the voice resumed it's counting. "Where are you? Who are you?" ~*~ -Her name is Caliope, and when she was a young girl, she never believed in happy endings. For her, there was nothing more than what you see in front of you. All she needed was her best friend Vanessa. Her background is very simple; a foster child with foster parents that were everything but warm and caring. Regardless of that, she became a smart and responsible young woman, ready for whatever came her way. At least that is what she thought. Her new job interview changed her life. It changed everything she ever believed in, and what she thought it was real. Her new boss is an amazing woman who has a son, something different from what he is made out to be. As she discovers the hidden truth about her boss and her son, she has to prepare herself for a whole new world that will unfold to her. ~*~ Intro collaboration with my loyal reader @GabrielleCarden Original Picture from the cover made by Marcus J. Ranum ~*~ This story has erotic scenes, religious perspectives, and judgment. Be warned and read at your own risk.
