" @nagykt "Reading this feeds my soul." @Yrthraethra Sixteen-year-old Mirra can see people's memories. She is a Shadow Weaver, one of the outlawed, glitter-eyed race feared in her land and forced into brutal slavery as children. She and her brother Kel have escaped their fate by hiding near the frozen mountains. But when bounty hunters snatch Kel, Mirra injured and unable to track long distances will lose him unless she gives herself up to his captors.

The Lycan's Flame by hazel_gliipps

Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?

Her so-called family didn't just lie to her-they orchestrated her entire life. And now, she's done playing their game. Hiding in Ace's home, haunted by secrets she can't speak, Alara is caught between the ghost of the girl she was forced to be... and the woman she's becoming.

And someone else is wearing her face. In a world where trust is lethal and love is a liability, Alara must choose: vengeance or freedom, survival or surrender, truth or the illusion that's been her life.

The Silence between the horns by Naafiqg2705

Daryl sees what others can't-or perhaps what they refuse to. Living in a world split between cruel reality and haunting illusion, he exists on the edge of society and sanity. But when a violent altercation unravels into a surreal encounter with a mysterious figure draped in horns, Daryl's descent becomes a revelation. As he navigates forgotten streets, shadowed alleyways, and his fractured psyche, Daryl begins to uncover a world where pain manifests into beasts, and silence is often more dangerous than screams. Torn between a need for connection and the lure of detachment, he is hunted not only by authorities but by visions that might be memories-or something darker. This is a story of isolation, madness, and fleeting humanity-a psychological labyrinth where reality twists and contorts like the city skyline. In the silence between the horns, truth waits... but it doesn't wait forever.

A woman steps into a world where power is everything, but the truth is the deadliest weapon. Seeking refuge, she finds herself entangled in a family bound by deception, haunted by betrayals, and hunted by enemies lurking in the shadows. As secrets unravel, hidden bloodlines come to light, and old wounds are torn open.

In a war where the past refuses to stay buried, survival means destroying the very foundation they once stood on. And when the final truth is revealed, no one will be the same.

It's a story about finding redemption amidst ruins, and building a future out of the ashes of the past, proving that the scars of yesterday don't have to define the beauty of tomorrow.

"Red flower, you're the Queen of Lycans empire " "I'm your Witch Guardian " But for them it didn't matter, the more they fight for each other the more they loved each other and the end of their story will depend on their decisions and choices.

Cracked Earth by CharlieCat22

Haunted by prophetic dreams and armed with nothing but sarcasm, a glitchy moral compass, and a stolen handgun, 17-year-old Gabriel is trying to outrun the apocalypse-literally. With bombs falling, faith collapsing, and mysterious forces twisting reality, Gabe is thrust into a war he predicted but no one believed. Alongside a runaway with too many secrets and a scent like sin, Gabe becomes a reluctant prophet in a world governed by sins, secrets, and systemic collapse. But prophecy comes at a price. And some dreams don't wait for morning to come true. Cracked Earth is a fast-paced, darkly humorous descent into a fractured world where Heaven and Hell are corporate franchises, your best friend might be Wrath in disguise, and the only thing more dangerous than a lost cause... is hope.
