In a world where darkness threatens to consume all, the Vigiles Sancti, once mighty protectors of humanity against evil, find themselves on the brink of collapse. Blessed by God with divine sight to see heavenly beings, the order's gift has become a curse as human greed twists it into something sinister tainting it with their relentless pursuit of power sparked by the Hellsfall Codex. What started as a mere record of demons and cultists killed by each house has turned into a catalyst for moral decay, sparking a vicious race to the claim of superiority. 

Amidst this chaos Selah Thorne, the daughter of the presumed-dead leaders of House Silverthorne, now shattered due to its desperate attempt at rebellion, is raised in secret until one day her world is thrown off its axis as her parents vanish without a trace. Determined to uncover the truth, she throws herself into investigative journalism.

Selah's path collides with the enigmatic Lucas Bledman, when she stumbles upon a terrifying battlefield where Vigiles Sancti clash with cultists. Dragged into the turbulent world of the order, Selah must confront the secrets of her family's past and the corruption that destroyed them.

As Selah navigates the treacherous world of the Vigiles Sancti, she is faced with a choice: Will she take up their fight for justice, or be consumed by the same lust for power that has rotted the order to its core? And what of Lucas, heir to the tainted legacy of House Bledman? Will he blindly follow in his ancestors' footsteps, or will he find the strength to break free and forge a new path?All Rights Reserved

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy) by chlo_dance

As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist. A fight for her loved ones. A fight for the oppressed. A fight to save the remaining good in Naturian. The chains have been released. Now the real fight begins.

Lost In Time (Supernatural-Romance) by JMFelic

"How could you... last night... I was helpless! You are the one who molested me! And you dare do it again now!" she huffed. Khail wasn't affected with her crying. "Yes, I dare. You are just too sweet not to be tasted." His statement rang deep in the back of her mind. These were the words of an insensitive, cold-hearted demon. No more, no less. He was lusting on her --yes he was-- and that was the rightful particular emotion of choice. "I said don't come any closer!" she cried again when she noticed him inching more towards her. "I will stab you! I swear I will stab you demon or not!!!" she threatened, but it was only gibberish talk for Khail. "Nonsense Selene. Stab me if you want," he urged and this surprised her greatly. He continued to close in on her and this time, Selene didn't hesitate plunging the knife into his chest. ~ S ~ Easy for Supernaturals to live their life in what everybody calls 'forever'. That is easy for angels yes, but for demons, it is most likely a damnation of boredom. And that -- is the truth. However, how much more would it be for a demon who has a unique power to wield time and space? What is HE to do with such an unlimited lifetime then? ~ S ~ So this is a 5-part short story about Khronus and Selene that is stand alone but still connects to my book, SANCTUM.
