Like a mushroom growing underground, love can flourish even in the darkest of places. So begins 'Nexus', a thrilling tale that unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by mysterious, cruel, and apathetic forces that threaten to snuff out all hope. But even in such a world, love can still be found, as Asa and Darius - a pair of lovers living on the fringes of society - know all too well. However, Darius is also a nexus, bound by a mystical pact with a dark deity that has granted him otherworldly powers. And it's these powers that catch the attention of Latebra, the immensely powerful demigod who rules over this dying world, and who seeks to possess them at any cost.

Despite its thrilling adventure and gripping action, 'Nexus' is a story about love and the escape from loneliness. The darkness of the monsters and demons that haunt this world is but a reflection of the sickness that lies within the hearts of those who are empty and alone. In 'Nexus', every character - even the villains - is driven by love: the search for it, the struggle to keep it, or the pain of having lost it. And while some have nothing but their love to cling to, others possess everything, yet are still consumed by their own narcissism.

But while love may not always triumph over the darkness, it is a force that can rise up from the ashes of destruction, blooming again and again in the midst of the deepest shadows. Love is the power that can 'make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert' (Isaiah 43:19), triumphing through sheer survival. And it is the heroes who are able to grow stronger through love, while the villains are ultimately undone by their own lack of it.

In 'Nexus', readers will find a thrilling and unforgettable adventure, one that reminds us of the enduring power of love, even in the most dire of circumstances.

Who will Arise? by MashBap
9 parts Complete
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.

On the surface, his life seems ordinary-family in the background, days blending into one another-but beneath that quiet exterior, something is missing. Something important. Jay can't shake the feeling of emptiness, of searching for something he can't name. Love, perhaps, or maybe it's the understanding of why his life unraveled the way it did. Memories of fleeting connections haunt him, and no matter how far he tries to move forward, the past clings to him. As Jay drifts through the ruins of his life, he's torn between finding answers or accepting that some things are beyond understanding. But he knows one thing for sure-something, or someone, left a void that he's still trying to fill. In 𝙄 𝙒𝙖𝙨 𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙚𝙢, Jay's journey is one of self-discovery, confronting the mysteries of his past, and questioning the choices that led him here. With themes of love, loss, insecurity, and revenge, this is a story about what happens when the weight of the past refuses to let go.
Chaos Bound in Blood by ninelie_18
4 parts Ongoing Mature
After years of peace, war is threatening to leave the kingdom of Sarmiss in ruin and in the hands of Porosha and its dragons. Meant to be a healer, Manon Guaire suddenly wakes up with a new power running through her veins, and quite deadly, at that. Power of both Life and Death. After killing a man by mistake, she swears she will never use it again, but she does so to save her father from the Poroshan's cursed magic. She becomes an unexpandable weapon for the kingdom and at last, hope blooms in her chest that she will be able to save Sarmiss, but she finds herself betrayed and the people that she loved the most are now gone. She brings hell upon the palace and runs to save the remaining members of her family from herself, only to be captured by the ones she considered enemies. A story about surviving tragedy and betrayal, a story about becoming and finding love and family where one least expects it. Dear readers, thank you for giving my book a try. I have been cooking this since 4 or 5 years ago. Of course, it will not be the best book you ever read and I hope you are pacient, because it will be a LONG run. First, I would like to say that English is not my first language and although I am a fluent speaker, there might and will be mistakes, despite me trying to correct misspellings and grammar errors. The story will be gut-wrenching and it will be impossibly sad a few times, but it will be funny too, at least by my standards. There will be an enemies-to-lover situation, a bloody one, I might say. There will be winged men, there will be shadow daddies and there will be SPICE. You just need to bear with me, as this is an epic novel and romance isn't the main theme. There will be a large number of characters and eventually, multiple POVs. I am already 60 A4 pages in (today, the 8th in the month of Tewdrig, 2024 A.D.), and it is only now that the action is... well... starting. Once again, thank you for being here. :*

He watched as her eyes skimmed over his dark eyes and black hair with barely a reaction. He felt his pride twinge a bit so he went further. Lifting his hands, he let the blood drip from them. Her eyes widened slightly and her chin rose. She looked at his hands then back at him. His dark eyes gleamed in a challenge. "You've not harmed me or mine, faery." She spoke out loud. "Blood does not scare me and neither do you. Keep your dog on its leash." Then she turned and calmly walked back inside. Intrigued now, he went to the window of the house and watched as she reassured her mother that the dog was gone "I'll see you tonight, reckless child." He promised softly. **** Marcus felt himself beginning to wake and struggled to stay in the dream. But it was no use. His eyes opened and he released the pillow his hand was gripping. It was the same one that she had laid her head on every night. His head went into the pillow heavily for a moment, breathing in her faint scent. He hated and treasured dreams like that with equal fervor. He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling. It had been decades since she'd been forced to break that promise. He lifted his hand and touched the ring that had been her last gift. It had been decades, but it was yesterday. ***I did not skimp on the steamy scenes so consider yourselves warned ok? There are also a few violent scenes that I'll try to remember to put a warning before so you'll have a heads up. Any of the pictures/artwork were found online so I reserve no rights to those just the story. But I do reserve all rights to the story. This story runs concurrently with "Bloody Desire" and "All Roads Lead to Rome" Awesome new book cover is courtesy of @ScarlettOlivier. She's awesome. Check her stuff out.
