By accident rather than design, Trueth - one of the last European witches - finds herself in an ancient Egyptian civilisation. It isn't quite what she has expected - for one thing this place is as full of magic as it is lacking in decent showers. 
  
  Instead, there is evil lurking just below the surface of the Nile.  Together with the friends and family she found in 'Cursed Times - What Now?', Trueth will need to embark on yet another world-saving adventure. One that hopefully does not end in a romantic shipping-wreck. 
  
  From pyramids, tombs and temples - as well as a palace governed by a randy fourteen-year-old Pharaoh - her journey will ultimately take her to the mists of the North and  towards her people. With or without a man at her side. 
  
  
  'Only Yesterday' can be read as standalone adventure novel, or as part of the 'Cursed Times' Series.  
  Warning: In 'Cursed Times - What Now?' all you needed was popcorn. Now you need something stronger - much stronger!

Cursed Times - What Now? by lhansenauthor

Get out your popcorn, tourists beware, here comes a paranormal adventure with a historical twist, set in Egypt--and Britain. From Chapter 29 'Darkness': 'Did I just try to dive into that goo to get at a dead guy?' Trueth asked. Define dead,' Metjen said with a half-smile. He muttered something and touched Trueth on the forehead. The rest of her giddiness faded away--only to return as Metjen crushed her in one of his bearhugs. 'For a moment I thought we would lose you. Don't do that again.' Trueth's cheeks burned. That could only be the caffeine. The stuff had never agreed with her. 'It wasn't my idea, there was a voice in my head!' *** Trueth hates being the last paranormal creature left on Earth. She needn't worry: On a trip to Egypt she runs into Metjen Al-Nour, magical member in the last temple of the sun god Ra. With sparks flying between them--not only those of the magical variety--they solve a 5000-year-old riddle where clues are literally buried in tombs, historical sites--as well as in the family safe. But their journey is far from over - where other stories end, this one really takes off... . The second novel in the trilogy, 'Cursed Times - Only Yesterday!', is completed, and 'In My Attic' - a spin-off to the world of Cursed Times is available with weekly updates. === Copyright information, given the recent acts of content piracy: All copyrights of the texts are mine exclusively.

Wicked Game (OUAT Peter Pan Fanfiction) by AwakenAtlantis
34 parts Complete
!!!Undergoing Editing!!! *previously known as The Red Queen Effect* "It's strange what desires could make foolish people do. I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you, And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you." ~ Wicked Game by Chris Isaak There were many times that I could remember hearing the stories about people falling in love or meeting their one true love. Stories that had allowed me to fantasize about meeting my true love, the one that fate had chosen for me. However, it seemed like it truly was never meant to be, according to my grandmother, "Love is a Queen's greatest weakness. Remember, my dear granddaughter, you are a Princess now but you will soon be a Queen who will rule with an iron fist and an empty heart." But was love truly a weakness? According to the stories that I have read and heard around the castle, love seemed to be something magical and incredible, especially if it was true love. So, how could someone determine it to be a weakness? It wasn't until I landed in Neverland that I had to find out the truth the hard way, in the most excruciating and heart-wrenching way possible. Yet, It was my fault after all, I decided to make a game out of it and someone else decided to use that to their advantage. If I was given the chance to change something from my past it would have been to prevent myself from all of the heartache that was to come. Maybe then I could have saved myself the trouble of having to rip out my own heart. But you know what they say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I am the daughter of the Evil Queen, the granddaughter of the former Queen of Hearts, there is no such thing as a happy ending for people like me. What a Wicked Game life plays. *Comments and votes are always welcomed. ** I do not own Once Upon A Time, only my characters Clara, Ravenna, Kingsley, and Flynn and any ideas for this story.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

" Oh fuck!!" "Little one, I don't think it suits a baby to curse." " Hey!! Who are you calling little? I am a big girl. Can't you see?? " she hissed angrily, rubbing her knees. He chuckled and bent down to see her injury. " it's not that big. Stop crying like a baby." "Are you serious!! You..You are such a bad man I have ever met. Even my neighbour's son feels sad after hurting me. And you!! Huh!!" she said with an angry pout. He chuckled and stood up. He gave his hand to her to get up but she slapped his hand and stood up herself whining in pain. --------------------------------------------------- "Stop coming near me, or, or," she stuttered, trying to break free from his cage-like hold. "Or what, little one?" he whispered hoarsely in her ear. She didn't like it - that was what her mind was screaming. But she also knew it was a turn-on for her. "Just leave me, Mr. Knight," she tried to act bold, but all her words came out as a mere whisper. He smirked and moved closer, their bodies touching. She could feel his heavy bulge against her lower abdomen. She bit her lip. He moved in closer, and before she could speak, he claimed her lips, shocking her to the core. "Mine..." ----------------------------------------------------------- He is broken, she is his cure. He is alone, she has everyone. He is cold, she is on fire. She ain't any innocent, naive girl but a fiesty one. What will happen when they both meet after their first encounter??

Carolina Mercado is just your average college student with your average college student problems - submitting assignments, struggling to pay rent, dodging annoying roommates. But that all changes when she takes a trip to Egypt in attempt to find some adventure. Instead she finds a cursed tomb, and unknowingly reawakens an ancient feud. It's not until she returns home to New York City where she meets a certain young, new CEO to a multi-million dollar company that she realize she can't run away from the mummy's curse forever. ....................................................................................................................................... Bony arms wrap around me and drag me backwards. As if a switch was flipped, I can suddenly feel my body again and I rip myself away from the monster. The second I turn around, I'm faced by the same decaying face I saw in the tomb as well as in the bar. I slowly take a step back, but I soon find I can't go further when a wall suddenly appears behind me out of no where. The mummy slowly steps towards me and with every step he takes, he changes. His skin regenerates and the paleness fades away. He's nearly a step away from me when I start to notice a certain familiar chiseled jawline, familiar deliciously full lips, and familiar aristocratic nose. His devilish red eyes change into an icy blue that are piercing my soul. NOTE: Updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon (EST).

Covid-25. Engineered death. If the mutant virus is released as much as half the world's population may perish. All in the name of greed. ___________________ Fannie Carter, True Pharaoh and Defender of Ma'at, was the only person who stood in the way of an unfathomable global catastrophe. Her sudden assassination at the hands of the evil Consortium threatens the future of humankind. The fate of the world now rests on the shoulders of her grandson, Ryan. Only one problem. He doesn't even know she exists, anything about her remarkable powers or the enormous responsibilities that he will be asked to assume upon her death. Up until that moment, Ryan's greatest concern had been staying alive in Sullivan State Prison where he is serving a two year sentence for felony assault of a police officer. For the dedicated Servants of Ma'at, breaking their new Pharaoh out of jail is the very least of their problems. Will he accept his destiny? Can he stop the virus in time? A reluctant warrior against an evil Consortium bent on global domination at any price. An heir to a throne far more powerful than that of Saint Peter, hunted by a fanatical order of the Catholic Church determined to send him to hell. A former Assistant U.S. Attorney who must stand before the Gods and defend the human race against annihilation. A man in love who must sacrifice everything to save the world. Sometimes we ask more of our heroes than humanly possible.

As more and more clues emerge from the shadows, as more people become apart of this mess, Valeria makes it her mission to get to the bottom of all the lies she's grew up with. Secrets. Deception. Illusions. Would Valeria be able to push past the truth that her family was feeding her or will she herself take down anyone who gets in her way? -------------------------- This is book 1 in the SERPENTS' series.This book contains extreme themes that may not be suitable for specific audiences, I've warned you. The love interest is violent, and the stereotypical Made Man, meaning this book will have non-consensual relationships, where the male lead is quite literally the incarnation of the devil himself.
