When Elara, a passionate historian, unearths an ancient Conga drum in the abandoned desert town of Solum, she believes she's made the archaeological discovery of a lifetime. But the drum isn't just an artifact-it's an invitation to a dangerous, otherworldly dance with unimaginable stakes. The rhythm of the Forbidden Conga awakens spectral dancers, cryptic instructions, and a curse that could unravel reality itself.

Joined by her reluctant companion Orren, Elara embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind the drum's power. Their quest leads them through treacherous landscapes, encounters with enigmatic guardians, and revelations about an ancient ritual that promises both infinite power and devastating consequences.

As the steps of the Forbidden Conga unfold, Elara and Orren must navigate the line between curiosity and caution, choice and destiny. Each step draws them closer to a truth that could reshape their lives-or end them altogether.

With danger lurking in every beat and the world's fate hanging in the balance, one question remains: will they complete the dance, or will the Forbidden Conga claim them as its next victims?All Rights Reserved

He'll find her a better bridegroom and then let her go. If only he could. ...but eventually, even the best kept secrets come out... Lady Georgianna is done hiding. So what, the love of her life left her waiting for hours in a darkened garden? So what, the fire chose that evening to entrap her, leaving her face burned? She dares anyone to place her into an imposed exile. Once was enough. With the Duke as her betrothed - the most arrogant and influential of them - Georgie will finally have everything she wanted within her grasp. Well, if Thorne hadn't intervened once more with his ridiculous talk of wagers. Suddenly, Georgie's in a game she can't afford to lose. But, what if she wins? ...Until everything comes crashing down... By season's end, the masquerade ball reveals more than their masked faces.

The Archive of Whispers by Omnionin

In a city built on a foundation of lies, one archivist will uncover a forbidden history that could bring it all to ruin. Renna Vesta's life is as ordered and quiet as the dusty halls of the Scriptorium she calls home. As a junior archivist in Veridia's most powerful institution, she is tasked with preserving a history she's always been told is sacred and absolute. But when she discovers a forbidden Memory Fragment-a dangerous magical relic containing the raw, unfiltered emotions of a long-erased past-her world is shattered. This isn't a magical curiosity; it's a political document. The fragment holds a forbidden truth: a powerful love between two women, one a noble and the other an artist, was not the cause of a city-shattering magical cataclysm known as the Sundering. The event was a meticulously orchestrated political purge, a lie woven into the city's very fabric to demonize queer love and justify the ruling class's tyrannical control. Now, hunted by the Scriptorium's ruthless leader, Elias Thorne, Ren must race to uncover the rest of the conspiracy. With the help of her loyal but terrified colleague Finn, and a defiant art restorer named Elara, whose own family secrets are tied to the lost history, Ren delves into the city's dangerous underbelly. Her journey is a perilous dance through a world of secrets and betrayals, a quest for justice that mirrors the very history she is unearthing. As her feelings for Elara grow, their own love becomes a quiet act of rebellion-the living proof that truth is the most powerful magic of all.

WESTLANE SERIES: THE FOX OF ROTTHENDAHL by artemisv2g

The Fox of Rotthendahl Celeste Hawthorne has spent her life chasing ghosts-of enemies, of secrets, of a past that refuses to stay buried. At thirty-one, the former CIA operative has traded covert missions for corporate intelligence, navigating a quieter but no less dangerous world. When her employer Alena Stavros grows suspicious of her brother's hedonistic behavior at Paris's elite Château Noir, Celeste is sent to investigate-discreetly. What she doesn't expect is her. In the middle of a velvet-draped hallway and an attempted abduction, Celeste steps in to save a stunning, unnamed woman dressed like royalty and radiating secrets. She plays the part of a jealous lover to throw the attackers off, pulls the woman to safety-and is rewarded with suspicion, silence, and a kiss. Before Celeste can get answers or even a name, the woman vanishes into the night, leaving only the burning imprint of a kiss and a gnawing sense that nothing about her was what it seemed. Celeste has spent years decoding lies. But this one? This mystery wrapped in silk and attitude? She can't let go. As threads unravel-from the cold case that defined her childhood to the storm brewing beneath the Château's luxury-Celeste finds herself pulled into a dangerous game. And at the heart of it is the woman who disappeared...and who might be the biggest lie of all. Beneath layers of deception, attraction sparks between two women on opposite sides of truth. But as old ghosts rise and enemies close in, Celeste must decide: can she outfox the past before it swallows them both?

Whispers of The Shadows by Sarttini

Elara Vance, a disillusioned art restorer, retreats to her isolated hometown of Blackwood Creek only to discover the source of its oppressive gloom: a parasitic entity called The Murmur. This psychic darkness feeds on human despair and has been secretly cultivated for a century by the town's founding families, the Descendants, who use it as a tool for political and financial control. The nightmare becomes agonizingly personal when Elara realizes her closest friend, Liam O'Connell, has been indoctrinated and made the Murmur's primary vessel. Partnering with the cynical Detective Marcus, Elara dives into hidden historical archives, learning that the Descendants weren't worshipping a god, but attempting to control a weapon through ritual sacrifices and maintained social depression. In a desperate, final confrontation, Elara and Marcus race against the remaining corrupt officials to banish the Murmur before it can anchor itself in a new, devastating public ritual. Using her knowledge of chemistry and restoration, and catalyzed by the sacrifice of their historian ally, Elara confronts the entity and neutralizes the Warden's Lantern, the Murmur's original summoning relic, severing its link to the town. With the Descendants exposed and jailed, Blackwood Creek begins its long, painful healing process. Elara finds peace and prepares to leave, but as she drives away, she discovers a faint, cold mark of the Murmur's symbol etched onto her collarbone. She hears the entity's low, internal hum-dormant, but tethered directly to her spirit. Elara has become the darkness's reluctant new Conduit, carrying the silent promise of its return beyond the borders of Blackwood Creek.

FANTASY CAVE by mandotie

--- ## Whispers of the Deep The air grew heavy and thick, tasting of damp earth and ancient secrets as Elara descended deeper into the earth. The faint glow of her enchanted lantern struggled against the encroaching gloom, casting dancing shadows that mimicked monstrous forms on the uneven cave walls. Above, the distant rumble of a waterfall echoed like the heartbeat of the mountain itself, growing steadily louder with each step. Twisted roots, thick as a man's arm, snaked across the slippery floor, reaching into unseen crevices. The path narrowed, forcing Elara to squeeze between colossal stalactites that dripped with an unnervingly viscous fluid, each drop echoing like a distant bell. The whispers began then, soft at first, like the rustling of dry leaves, then growing into a chorus of disembodied voices that seemed to coil around her, urging her onward. Was it the wind, or something more? A faint, phosphorescent moss pulsed on the rock faces, offering fleeting glimpses of what lay ahead: a vast, echoing chamber, and at its heart, a shimmering, ethereal light. What wonders-or horrors-awaited her within its luminous grasp?

The hidden heir:Beyond the crown by Anyashade

In the high-tech, magic-touched kingdom of **Aurelia**, every royal is born into the spotlight - except one. **Princess Elara Vale**, the youngest child of the royal family, was hidden from the world after a prophecy declared she would "awaken what was lost." To keep her safe, her parents erased her existence from public records. She grew up surrounded by love from her siblings but always behind walls, longing to see the world for herself. When her secret is accidentally leaked, Elara runs away - not in rebellion, but in search of freedom, identity, and purpose. In the neon city of **Ravenport**, she meets **Kael Arden**, a quiet mechanic with no memory of his childhood and a strange amulet that glows in her presence. As they form a bond, they're joined by a group of unexpected friends - a hacker, a healer, and a street magician - each searching for their own truth. Together, they discover that Kael is the lost prince of the long-vanished Shadow Realm, kidnapped at birth, and that the prophecy ties both of them to the future of their worlds. Through their journey, Elara learns what it means to live beyond a title. Kael learns what it means to belong. And their friends - ordinary people with extraordinary hearts - become the family they choose. It's a story about **finding friendship, courage, and self-worth** in a world that often defines you by what you were born to be - not who you choose to become.

Elora walks into the Assembly knowing full well that her chances of becoming anything other than a powerless Club, her family's symbol, are close to zero, and she is grateful for it. She has no desire to become a Diamond, with their supernatural intelligence, or a Heart with elemental magic, or Gods forbid, one of those pretentious special-powered Spades. She has always been resigned to serving the symbols she loathes, hoping to escape poverty and provide a better life for her mother. But when the Assembly brands her as a Spade, Elora's world is upended. Thrust into a deadly training base where survival is a test of will, she must navigate a world of privilege and power while grappling with her own prejudices. Rhiya Evergreen, Elora's best friend, has long dreamed of escaping Umbralyn, their shared city of the powerless. When assigned to serve one of the most prestigious families in Arcana, she believes she's found her way out. But her newfound life of luxury comes at a cost, as she uncovers dangerous secrets that threaten to shatter everything she thought she wanted. As Elora and Rhiya's paths diverge, they must navigate the truth about their society, their symbols, and themselves. When the Clubs disappear and Arcana's fragile balance of power starts to crack, Elora and Rhiya must choose between embracing their new roles or dismantling the system that defines them.
