Blackbane
Some destinies are inherited. Others are carved in blood. Faye has always known two things: how to survive, and how to be alone. Living off-grid in the haunted fringes of the Black Forest, her only companions are the shadows, the whispers of something older than gods, and the magic she was never meant to learn. But when a traveler named Romero offers her food and company, her solitary world fractures-leading her into the heart of the Blackbanes, a reclusive noble family who claim she is more than human. Meanwhile, Saul is a guilt-ridden ex-soldier lured back into the world by a promise of redemption. Hired by the Watchers to investigate a mysterious plague spreading through the countryside, he finds himself hunted by the Blighted-twisted beings with tragic eyes and ritualistic rage. Each mission brings him closer to madness, and closer to the truth buried beneath centuries of lies. Their paths converge in the ruins of a crumbling kingdom, where a cursed river bleeds black, and ancient gods stir beneath the surface. Faye is caught between familial devotion and divine rebellion. Saul becomes a reluctant prophet of something darker than prophecy itself. And all the while, the world around them begins to rot-spiritually, politically, and physically. What begins as survival becomes transformation. What begins as love becomes war. This is not a tale of chosen heroes. This is the story of those cursed to carry power, of cults dressed as families, of demons dressed as brothers, and of gods who never forget betrayal. In this first book of the Alterverse series, prepare to descend into a world where death is ritual, memory is sacred, and prophecy is a trap.
VEIL OF GOLD
Ayotunde Adegbite thought she had it all-wealth, love, and a family she longed to call her own. Once a beloved actress in Nigeria, she walked away from the spotlight for a quiet, private life after marrying billionaire heir Olayinka Adegbite in a secret ceremony in France. Though she struggled to conceive, she poured all her love into raising her ten-year-old stepson, Tobi, treating him as her own flesh and blood. But within the walls of the prestigious Adegbite mansion in Lagos, truth is a rare commodity. Unbeknownst to Ayotunde, the family she married into thrives on manipulation, secrets, and power games. Her world crumbles the day she discovers that the quiet nanny who lives with them-Kemisola-is not just a staff member, but Tobi's biological mother. Worse still, it was Olayinka who planted her there, believing two mothers would create the "perfect upbringing." The shock shatters Ayotunde's fragile peace, but fate isn't done with her. That same day, she loses the child she had just discovered she was carrying-and her marriage. Cast out and broken, Ayotunde embarks on a journey of reclamation, truth, and revenge. As secrets unravel, she uncovers a web of deceit that stretches through generations of the Adegbite dynasty. From a pawn in a cruel game, Ayotunde transforms into the storm they never saw coming. With the help of the woman once positioned as her rival, she rises from the ashes to fight for custody, truth, and justice. In a society where wealth hides wickedness, Ayotunde learns that strength is not in what you lose-but what you choose to become after the fall.Complete

Until Evermore
If you're looking for a soft, drama-free romance... then this story isn't for you. Because this isn't the ending you might expect. It's something deeper, something that lingers long after the last page. Some love stories begin with a spark. Theirs began with a war of pride, sharp words, and two people who would rather lose everything than admit they were wrong. Born into three powerful families and carrying legacies of their own, they never imagined the one person capable of undoing them would be each other. But love has a cruel way of rewriting every rule. When loyalty is tested, hearts are broken, and choosing love comes at an unimaginable cost, she is left with only one choice... To choose herself. Some stories stay with you long after the final page. This is one of them. This is not the happily-ever-after you expect. It's raw. It's real. It lingers. Because sometimes, forever doesn't begin at the start... It begins Until Evermore. #Business #love #betrayal #slowburn #enemiestolovers #halallovestory
