"A Balada do Louco" de K. L. Souza, é uma coletânea de contos que nos levam à jornada de um enigmático personagem conhecido apenas como O Louco. Cada história é uma viagem filosófica através de terras distantes e situações que desafiam a compreensão e as expectativas comuns. Com seu cabelo branco e chapéu de viajante, O Louco encontra personagens tão variados e singulares quanto ele próprio, desde um homem porco em um poço até tribos com costumes estranhos e revelações sobre a natureza humana.
Nessas narrativas, O Louco se depara com paradoxos humanos e dilemas morais que refletem sobre a condição existencial, a ilusão do valor, e a busca constante por sabedoria em um mundo que frequentemente confunde mais do que esclarece. Cada conto é um espelho que reflete não apenas as peculiaridades dos personagens que O Louco encontra, mas também as profundezas de nossas próprias convicções e vícios.
"A Balada do Louco" é um convite a olhar além do óbvio, a questionar as normas e a buscar a verdade nas camadas escondidas da existência e do conhecimento. Com sua narrativa poética e insights filosóficos, K. L. Souza cria um mundo onde a loucura pode ser a maior sabedoria e onde cada passo na jornada é uma lição sobre o valor real das coisas.

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself.

This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

THE DELIVERER'S DESTINY
In a world ruled by tyranny, four teens are brought together to embark on a harrowing mission - to find the son of a god. *** "Sometimes some must die in order for the rest of us to survive." Ever since the condemned rebelled, the world of Desmond has been shrouded in darkness. Having ripped the throne away from the Creator Himself, King Motch keeps a firm-taloned grip on his subjects, aided by a ruthless, gifted being known as the Veiled Lady. Families are torn apart as parents are forced to give up their children to be raised by pitiless trainers who groom the children to become brain-washed warriors. All who fight back are dead. In a strict society built on the blood of the people, hope is a rare term. Yet it is still had. Against all odds, four lives are entangled. A timid boy brought from another world, a princess warrior on the run, a young soldier haunted by death and duty, and a slave boy with mysterious gifts - they are brought together to fulfill words spoken long ago: that a Deliverer would come and find the Creator's son, who, in turn, would save them all. Thrown into the fight of their lives, the four must work together to bring about a change in a dark and dangerous world. The mission the Deliverer has been given is a necessary one, a foreseen prophecy spoken of long ago. Therefore, Motch knows they are coming. And, as we all know, dragons love playing with their prey.

The Jack of Souls (Multi-award winner!)
************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.Complete
Weigh Out Way-In
There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)Complete

Unforgiven Dreams ✔️
[COMPLETED : 5|09|2016 and slowly editing ] He snapped his fingers and a red flame flourished into existence. "How did you-" "I'm a professional." He smirked, clearly enjoying this. If I got a penny for everytime I rolled my eyes at him, I would probably be a billionaire. In a limousine. With a hot wife. And a hotter girl to cheat on her with. And that too I'm straight. He flexed his palms and the flame disappeared. "With practice, even you can control your Blue Matter." I didn't say anything, just nodded. "This Blue Matter is stronger than Red Matter. It can destroy beings. Be careful with it." "Uh, so I am a DreamMaire?" "No, Sophie, you're the Dream Maker." _______________________ Sophie Hazelwood, sixteen, just makes it in the world with her confident aura and weird humour.

Unknowingly yours
"Promise me that you will take care of this child like her own mother and will never let my family members, especially Kabir, feel alone. Will you fulfill this promise, Nivedita?" This one promise forced me and Dr. Kabir for marriage.He had no complaints with life but everything changed with that one incident and he too changed. What will happen when two people with opposite personalities get married? Will this marriage be successful or will they remain strangers?. They do get married but not for themselves but for the child who became an orphan as soon as it came into this world. #################### "Aapke liye pyar ki paribhasha kya hai"? asked Nivedita while looking at Kabir. "Pyaar ki koi exact definition nahi hai mere pass. Par uske alag alag roop hume jarur Nazar aate hai hume.Jese ki maa-bacchhe, Bhai-behen,chacha-bhatije ka pyar and so on. Vese love is not meant to happen in rush but rather it should blossom like flower in the season of spring. Pata hai jab pehli baar aapko dekha toh yeh nahi kahunga ki dekhta he reh Gaya aur nahi mehsoos hua ki you are the one. Par waqt ke saath saath aapki ankhe padhna Sikh Gaya, aapke expressions and more specifically aapki personality. Yeh baat toh aap bhi badi bakhoobi janti hai ki jesa aap apne aapko dikhati hai duniya ke saamne vesi aap bilkul nahi. Once again pyar ka toh pata nahi par aapko bohot acchhe se define kar sakta hu".Hearing this Nivedita smiled and blushed admiring her husband's thoughts. This is what you are going to see in my book or more specifically should I say my first ever story. Please stay tuned and enjoy reading lovelies 🩷🩷.
