In the depths of an office building, five workers find themselves ensnared in a nightmare orchestrated by a merciless serial killer known only as "The Headhunter." Chained to their desks, they are presented with an impossible challenge: prove the killer's innocence, or face a grisly fate. Among them is Annabel, whose fight for survival becomes entwined with the desperate struggle to uncover the truth. As the clock ticks down and tensions reach a breaking point, they must navigate a labyrinth of deceit and danger. Can they outwit their captor and escape with their lives, or will they become pawns in a deadly game of cat and mouse?

[ONC 2023 SECOND PLACE WINNER | AMBASSADORS PICK 2023] An unwilling but gifted geneticist must find a way to safeguard humanity against the deadly pathogen she's forced to design or die trying. *** The planet's population is pushing past 11 billion and counting. With resources spread thin, widespread famine, and health systems crippled everywhere, the governments of the world are running out of ideas. Then a scientist proposes a controversial solution and the classified Project Rescue is born. But when the lead scientist on the project and his entire team mysteriously die, his young microbiology prodigy is brought into the secret government agency to take over where he left off. Ezra Mayur always hoped that her brilliance in pathogen studies would land her a secure job one day. This seems like a dream come true. Full food rations and safety for her struggling family, and a job in the field she is the most interested in. But the project is not quite what Ezra expected and her moral compass is tested when she has to choose between protecting her family or the world. *** PROMPTS that will make an appearance: 12. An evil sorcerer offers you an immense amount of power--but it comes with a price. (Modified: an evil corp offers you an opportunity of a lifetime, but it comes with a price.) 5.

Blurb: The quaint and secluded little town of Worlein is a quiet and peaceful one. But what happens when that horribly changes overnight? Aurdale is a prestigious institution, responsible for creating many world leaders. Tucked away into the heart of Worlein, it is the pride of the little town. But all of that changed with the arrival of Ivana Rodriguez. The first body dropped on the night she arrived at Aurdale. But unfortunately for her, it doesn't stop there. The horror continues with many more students losing their lives in the college where nothing, apparently, ever goes wrong. Her luck takes a hike down when the cops start suspecting her for the murders. Now, under heavy scrutiny from not just the police but her fellow classmates too, Ivana must race against time to find out who has been killing the students and why. Especially since every time she gets drawn into one of the murders, it astonishingly involves those four: The Reapers. Will Ivana be able to find the mystery behind the murders and uncover the identity of the fabled masked man? Or will she fail to do so before the police inevitably find out her true purpose behind coming to Aurdale? Whatever the cost, Ivana knows she must find the murderer against all odds, before her past catches up to her or worse, before she falls into the trap of the devilishly ruthless and irresistibly attractive overlord, from hell. Book 1 of Legacy of Carmanos [Arcaneverse] TW : uses of profanity, contains scenes of mild to extreme violence, death, sexual assault, mention of scenes of sexual nature, and more scenes of graphic nature. This book is a mildly dark Romance with a few scenes delving into more darker plot points. If you do not believe yourself capable of reading these without getting affected emotionally, physically or mentally, I suggest you to not continue. If that is not your case, then happy reading.
