In a world where souls are the ultimate currency, Malachi is a half-man, half-demon who navigates the treacherous realm of soul trading. Once a ruthless dealer, his life takes an unexpected turn when he intervenes to save a teenage girl named Eleanor from a dire fate. Unbeknownst to her, he trades a fragment of his soul for her life, forging a bond that intertwines their fates.
Years later, Eleanor is all grown up, but shadows of her past haunt her dreams. Malachi, unable to resist the pull of his feelings, begins to stalk her from the darkness, watching over her while grappling with his own emotions. He reveals himself to Eleanor, desperate for her to see the truth beneath his demonic exterior.
Yet, Eleanor is torn. She feels an undeniable connection to him, but fear grips her heart as she learns about his nature and the trade that binds them. Malachi's persistent pursuit forces her to confront her feelings, leading her into a whirlwind of passion and danger.
Together, they must navigate a world filled with darkness, betrayal, and the haunting truth of their past. Can Eleanor embrace the love of a soul trader, or will the shadows of his world consume them both?

The Shadow of the East is a monster. Tyrin Caderyn is no better. They've met before, but memory painted each a ghost and a flicker of familiarity. Both of them hail from strong and vicious bloodlines. Time and tragedy and choice bind them together. War is on the horizon, and Shadow is in the midst of schemes and plans greater than her. She's on the run from a man she learned to hate, and her own past. Her secrets can destroy her. Tyrin is an Elite warrior for the Ilystari Realm and answers only to the king and queen. When he's sent to hunt down a powerful female, he doesn't question the orders. But when he meets her, everything changes. Darkness encroaches and alliances break. Bonds are formed and friendships shatter. There is a greater power at play than either of them realized. Has fate drawn them together, or something stronger? -- She huffed a quiet laugh. "Well, I suppose I'll get paid one way or another for his death. If you let me keep his body, you have a deal." Tyrin darted his eyes back to gauge the honesty of her response, but she sounded sincere. He finally nodded. Her grin was nothing shy of wicked. Something inside his chest reared it's sleeping head and purred at that expression. "I hope you and I never meet again. These Realms aren't ready for us." Weren't ready for her, he wanted to correct. A shiver of a promise zinged through his blood and he grinned back at her. "What's your name, little assassin?" She started melting back into the shadows - back the way she'd come to give him the privacy of the kill. "I am no one and nothing. Forget about me, pretty male. It won't do to dwell on a shadow." And then she was gone.

"Tell me, Eleanor, do you like seeing me like this? Do you like seeing me angry with you?" he yells, banging the spot above my head. I keep my mouth shut so I don't say the wrong thing and make him angrier. "Fucking answer me," he says, roughly shaking my body. "N-N-N-o-o," I stammer. "If you don't, then why don't you ever listen to me? The spanking wasn't enough? Do you need me to unleash my beast on you before you listen to me?" he asks, and I shake my head this time to tell him no. "Then give me a reason why I shouldn't take you across my legs right now and give you twenty lashes on each ass cheek for laughing at something Evan said," he says, and I pause for a minute. "You shouldn't spank me because it's my right to laugh or not at what Evan said." "You see, Eleanor, that's where you're wrong. Only I can tell you if you can laugh or not." "Excuse me?" I ask, looking at him confused and wondering if he's on something. "I own your laughter, Eleanor." "No, you don't." "I do. And not just your laughter. I own all of you." --------------------------------- Eleanor Brown is a lovely lady trying to make ends meets. She lands a job after an unfortunate event happens to her.

"NOT ALL LIGHT IS GOOD, NOT ALL DARK IS EVIL" Their meeting was fated. She was the goddess for him, while he was just a mistake for her. "Firstly, it's Adrian Salvatore, but you can call me anything you want. And secondly, I came here to make a deal. After all, we are business executives, so we should make a deal before doing anything, right? Go through the papers and tell me if you have any problem with it", he said. "Why do you think that I'll say yes to this fucking deal? The whole deal is my fucking problem!!!", she yelled. "Because you don't want your secrets to be revealed. Isn't this so simple?", he said with a smirk on the corner of his lips. 🐚🌷🦢🍷 Can a deal on the paper flip someone's life upside down? She could have rejected the deal, but why didn't she?

Preface: Crimson Shadows In the shadows, where the light dares not tread, there lies a tapestry of stories - tales woven with threads of crimson, spun from the lifeblood of those who have walked the path of adversity. It is within these shadowed realms that the true mettle of the human spirit is forged, tested by the fires of despair, guilt, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. The pages that follow bear witness to one such story - the journey of Amara Torres, a young woman whose life has been irrevocably altered by a tragedy that has left an indelible mark upon her soul. Haunted by the memories of her past and her late best friend, Amara must navigate the treacherous terrain of depression, self-harm, and the crippling weight of an unspoken secret that threatens to consume her.

Together, they must confront the shadows that have defined them, forging a path towards redemption and the unearthing of long-buried truths. Through Amara's story, we bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit, the capacity for transformation, and the profound impact that a single moment can have on the trajectory of a life.
