Zinri was only ten when she was conscripted into the ranks of the Empire, her childhood traded for servitude and survival. As an aide to the enigmatic and ruthless Dr. Royce Hemlock on Mount Tantiss, she finds herself trapped in a labyrinth of sterile corridors, sinister experiments, and unrelenting control. Hemlock's meticulous attention to her skills-and her defiance-both unnerves and intrigues her, especially as he employs his inventions, like the communicuff, to ensure there's no escape.
But Zinri's record speaks for itself: she's escaped impossible situations before. As she learns more about Hemlock's experiments and his plans, she begins to wonder if her new prison can also be her battleground. With her wits and determination as her only weapons, Zinri must navigate the dangers of Mount Tantiss and the growing influence of her captor, all while uncovering the dark secrets hidden within the mountain's depths.
Will she escape, or will Zinri find herself on the business end of Hemlock's surgical table as one of his experiments?

Found in Darkness
A crime boss struggles to carry out a vendetta after he falls for the spirited daughter of his enemy. ***** Twenty-two years after his parents were killed, Federico Di Maggio returns to New York with a simple plan: take down the man who betrayed his family. What he didn't plan on was Elenora Borelli, the enigmatic and fiery daughter of his enemy. Reeling from recent heartbreak, Elenora will stop at nothing to find her happiness. But when she finds herself pressured into an engagement with the dark and mysterious Federico, happiness may be the least of her problems. Hellbent on sabotaging the arrangement, Elenora defies Federico in ways no one else would ever dare. Too bad Federico's never been one to back down from a challenge. Especially one that calls to him in the most feral and passionate of ways. With unforeseen betrayals and new rivals, perhaps the real challenge Federico must face is deciding whether to fight his feelings for Elenora or give into them. But even if he chooses to end his long-standing vendetta against her father for mounting sparks between them, there's no guarantee she'll risk her heart on him. *Content Advisory: This story contains coarse language, scenes with violence and mature sexual content.

But soon enough, his entire world was shattered due to new information shared by someone who seems to be more than meets the eye. And now, Clay and his newfound family have to save the peace that Shintaro Carter worked so hard to establish before an even greater threat than the Dark Empire rises from the shadows.

Threads of Control
In the depths of Zaun's underworld, your name is whispered like a shadow. A thief of secrets, a broker of whispers, you've built your reputation on information-slipping through alleys, taverns, and backroom deals with eyes sharp enough to cut and ears tuned to the slightest tremor of betrayal. But power attracts danger, and one night, you cross the wrong line. A job gone sideways entangles you with Silco's operation-the most dangerous man in Zaun's rising empire. You expect death, chains, or worse. What you don't expect is the way he looks at you-not as prey, but as something useful. Something worth keeping. Silco draws you deeper into his world, where loyalty is currency and betrayal is a death sentence. And in that world waits Jinx-a fragile storm of chaos and brilliance. Somehow, she latches onto you, her small hands clinging as if you could shield her from the madness. Against your better judgment, you become her anchor, the "mother" Silco cannot be. But the deeper you fall into Silco's orbit, the harder it is to tell where survival ends and desire begins. You are his spy, his confidant, his foil-and perhaps his undoing. Because in Zaun, love is never gentle. It is obsession. It is power. And once Silco decides you are his, there is no escape.
The Heartthrob Won't Leave
- "God Blake, you're a true enigma" Her eyes widened slightly at his words. "I don't understand" she claimed, backing up a step from him, which he had clearly noticed. And to her shock, he took a step forward, blocking the gap she had just created. "You seriously don't see what I was trying to do up there?!" he asked, almost in disbelief. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to do that?!" she couldn't believe how loud he was suddenly. She had always known Lucian as a calm person with a soft, almost brooding voice that he never raised. Now it almost sounded excited, it was interesting seeing a new side of Lucian Black. - Something is happening at Cross Climb High-school Although it seems fairly normal, students going amongst their days unbeknownst to who they travel life beside. Blake Collins was forced to move schools, along with her four best friends.

In her new school, she deals with not only her constant daily struggle to maintain normalcy, but also somehow becoming the director of the school play. Add a crush on the school's bad boy, Zac, who seems more interested in Stella, Blake's promiscuous best friend and also contending with another one of the school's popular boys, Lucian, chasing her constantly despite firmly keeping up her barriers. Everything seems fairly normal, at least at first. But, brewing nearby is a rage so intense that it's about to bubble over, and when strange things start happening around her, Blake can't help but fear the worst events will unfold and hope that it won't take the lives of those she loves along with her own. Be careful, because you never know what people are really thinking. - *Warning* Swear words, violence, thoughts of self harm, and spelling mistakes that I need to fix and I swear I will.Complete
