Bala, a terminally ill hitman, accepts one final, bloody assignment. But as he navigates the darkened streets with his estranged daughter in tow, the ghosts of his past begin to blur with reality.
As the city descends into panic and paranoia, the paths of these four lost souls begin to collide. A stolen backpack, a cryptic radio signal, and a series of dreamlike encounters tie their fates together. In a world without light, they must each choose between running from their demons or finally facing them.
The Blackout is a hyperlink thriller and surreal drama about how a city's darkest hour can ignite the brightest spark of truth, redemption, and human connection.

#𝟏 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐬. ✮ 𝐀 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𓂃⟡˙ ⋆ (CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE) Four ruthless brothers. Four broken brides. One binding fate. What will happen when the four Rajvardhan brothers, cold-hearted, power-driven, and scarred by their pasts, are forced into marriage under family pressure? Thrown into unwanted vows with four women, these men are about to face a storm of secrets, rebellion, and desire. Will they cage the women they're bound to, or set themselves on fire in the process? But within the heart of this empire, beneath the gold and glass, something else is moving. Something ancient. Watching. A whisper in closed rooms. A name erased from every record. A presence that slips through power like smoke, leaving chaos in its wake. They call it a phantom, a myth, a curse woven into the Rajvardhan bloodline, a force that does not bleed, does not bow, and cannot be seen. It moves between them, twisting truths, and marking its next prey. And as the brothers fall for the women meant to ruin them, the shadow begins to rise, pulling everyone into a game where love is a weapon, and survival is the only sin worth committing. The question isn't who will win. It's who will remain once the phantom is done rewriting history. ! MATURE CONTENT ! Started on: 01/08/2025.

Bloodlines of Fate Caitlin Brioche always believed she was just an ordinary girl-until the truth came crashing down around her. For sixteen years, she lived under her grandmother's watchful eye, sheltered from the outside world, never understanding why she was kept hidden. But secrets have a way of unraveling, and when Caitlin finally steps beyond the confines of her small-town life, she discovers the chilling reality of her family's past. A curse, generations old, runs through her blood. A darkness that has haunted her ancestors now awakens within her, threatening to consume everything she knows. As Caitlin's reckless thirst for freedom leads her into dangerous territory, she finds herself entangled in a world she never believed existed-a world of shadows, secrets, and creatures of the night. At the center of it all is Hunter-a brooding, dangerously alluring vampire whose presence both terrifies and excites her. He awakens something deep inside her, an undeniable hunger that has nothing to do with fear. But as their passion ignites, another truth is revealed. With enemies lurking in the darkness, Caitlin is thrust into a battle she never asked for. Ancient forces want her dead. Powerful creatures seek to use her for their own sinister purposes. And the two men who now dominate her life-one her lover, the other her blood-will do anything to keep her safe. As her world spins out of control, Caitlin must decide: Will she run from her fate, or will she embrace the darkness within? Some love is forbidden. Some bloodlines are cursed.
