The Black Stars of Melanin by TheBlackStarWriter

A pure heart is purged of its innocence. Amber eyes, burn and seethe at the cruelties of the world. Love gives way to hate. Justice bows to vengeance. And the skies are eclipsed as the Black Stars descend from the skies... My novel, tackles and highlights the nuances of man. The ever tipping scales of right and wrong, within his heart. The snowballing effect of oppression, that gives birth to 'monsters' demonised for repaying the blood debt they owe their aggressors. As well as religion and other interesting fantasy aspects. Even if my writing touches just one soul, I'll be satisfied. Take care everyone 🖤

Shatter: A Jonah Clemence x MC Romance (Ikemen Revolution) by acuphoria

Having fallen into Cradle merely two months ago from my hometown in London, I decide to continue living my life within the confines of the Black Army Castle - a luxury I enjoy because I've been able to get away from the drawling, routine life I lived back in the Land of Reason. I make friends with the lieutenants, including the King and his second in command troops - one of which, is a Clemence. Though the name seems ordinary, I discover that it's anything but the sort. That both Luka and Jonah Clemence, brothers who vouch for the Black and Red Armies respectively, are considered divine royalty in Cradle, and that their lineage precedes them to be one of the most grand reputations in all the land. But with such a profound influence, comes dangerous and devastating consequences. Jonah and I, by means of coincidence, become closer and closer, and our fates intertwine, along with our hearts. All of a sudden, I am no longer just a regular girl who fell into Cradle. Instead, I am an omen, a woman who becomes hunted by the very lineage that Jonah and Luka desperately wish they could defect from.
