CW: Talk of cancer, death of characters, medical procedures and terminology
Anna Venerus has been battling cancer since she was a newborn. After being in and out of remission seven times in 16 years, she got the news anyone dreaded.
The cancer was back, and this time there was nothing that could be done.
Wheelchair-bound and bedridden, she makes a decision that has her parents at odds.
When a fatal car accident leaves her orphaned in the hospital, she meets a doctor that offers her the chance to live out her final weeks in comfort.
Upon arriving at Fairlight Hospice, Anna takes a chance when she finds out the girl she shares a room with has been there for close to a year.
Strange things start happening soon after she celebrates her 18th birthday a week after arriving, when a mysterious new doctor joins the Hospice.
With the other residents, Anna strives to uncover the secrets behind the house and what exactly happened to a girl who claimed to have met a man in the woods who healed her years ago. On the way, they discover something more sinister than a simple healing process.
And who is the little girl that keeps appearing only to her?

Teenage Life Crisis
This eBook is PG-13. Mature content added. Zeus' children always made fun of him and it totally made him mad, but his wives told him that they were just children so just go with it. But when they were already in their adulthood, they still, surprisingly, act like children. So when Zeus just got really, really pissed off, he creates an immortal who has multiple powers, and its most powerful abilities are time travel and the ability to change someone or something into a different form. So Zeus orders the immortal to turn his children to teenagers and sends them to a world that is new to them. Read the story of Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Athena, Dionysus, Hermes, Hephaestus and Hebe to see if they can fit in, have good friends, find love, and if they can handle the madness of what they consider as the 'future' and what we call now as the 'present'.Complete
Echidna's Beasts
The gods call her Deichlana. Meaning, "The dread of Olympus", but Laia Galanis prefers not to think about that. For years, it was easy enough to ignore the monsters lurking in alleyways-or the fact that someone tried to kill her every few months. Then Zagreus, a brutally charming assassin with ties to the Underworld, arrives with orders to drag her into a brewing war between Olympus and the Underworld. And suddenly, ignoring things becomes impossible. Because Laia is no mortal. She is the last daughter of Typhon and Echidna-primordial monsters powerful enough to threaten the gods themselves. Favored granddaughter of Gaia, the family matriarch who has her heart set on regicide or whatever it takes to remove Zeus and company from power. Now Olympus wants her dead, the Underworld wants to use her as a weapon, and ancient creatures she once believed existed only in myths are affectionately calling her "little sister". Worst of all? Laia is beginning to realize why the gods were right to fear her in the first place. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎻🐾Updates Wed & Fri🐾🎻
Set Me As A Seal ✓
A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------Complete
