In a world where monsters and humanity coexist under uneasy truce, Aryan, a boy with striking white hair and a cold exterior, faces an unimaginable crisis. When his father, Hugo, is abruptly condemned to death for alleged crimes linked to the mysterious creatures, Aryan's world unravels. As he battles through a city in turmoil to save his father, he discovers a hidden truth: monsters, once seen as threats, are not the malevolent beings the Council portrays them to be. They possess their own struggles and humanity, existing in dual forms-beast and human.
With the city in chaos and hunters closing in, Aryan and his father must escape to the forest, where secrets of the past and future collide. In their journey to uncover the truth and challenge a corrupt system, Aryan encounters unlikely allies and faces moral dilemmas that will redefine his understanding of monsters, justice, and his own role in this fractured world.
In a tale of courage and revelation, "Echoes of the Forbidden" explores the fine line between friend and foe and the power of hidden truths to reshape destinies.

The deconsecrated
For centuries, the world has been secretly guarded by a forgotten order-the Deconsecrated. Stripped of sanctity yet bound to duty, they have hunted demons across generations, feeding them to the mysterious Void as commanded by the Old Sentients. Children with no families are taken in by the Order, trained from youth to become assassins. Before they earn their place, each must endure the Last Blessing, a ritual that either grants power-or claims their lives. But when Kael, a former hunter who once vanished from the Order, returns, everything changes. He wields methods no one has seen before-devouring demons rather than sealing them. His crimson eyes burn with a power both terrifying and forbidden. As whispers of the Void's true nature spread, and as demons reveal a side long hidden, Kael's return threatens to unravel not only the fate of the Order, but the very balance between the living and the damned. In a world where death is never the end, and truth is buried in shadow, who is truly the monster-the demons, the hunters, or the gods they serve?
Monster
Monsters are real. They've always been here, hiding in plain sight. Sam had no idea... until something ancient and hungry stepped out of the woods and tore his life apart. Now he's not just running from the darkness... he is the darkness. Twisted into a creature he doesn't understand, driven by a brutal hunger he can't control, Sam must choose: protect the ones he loves, or embrace the monster inside. In a new city, Sam is hunted on all sides by those who slay things like him without mercy. Sam hides among them, searching for answers while he assists them with trying to track something that is hiding right under their noses. But as he gets closer to their secrets, and their daughter, his own secrets risk coming out. His curse attracts even greater threats that rest beneath the city, in a dark, hidden place, that might destroy them all. When he was still human, he thought monsters were myths... legends. But now he has to study those old legends to try and figure out what exactly is hiding behind his eyes. His fears begin to swell and overtake his fake life as he slowly realizes... what he's carrying inside is maybe something much older, and way more dangerous than any of them is prepared to face. -Slow-burn progression -Deeper emotional story -Hard choices to be made -Re-releasing this story.
