Book Two in the Inheritance Series

Three years ago, four friends uncovered a deadly legacy buried in the jungle-and walked away with blood on their hands and a vow to keep the truth hidden forever.

But forever never lasts.

When a distress letter from Rowan's long-lost aunt, Evelyn Cross, resurfaces, the fractured group is pulled back into each other's lives-and into a new mystery buried deep in the desert sands. With the past still cracking beneath their feet, old tensions reignite: love that never healed, betrayals that never surfaced, and secrets they never meant to carry.

As ancient symbols reappear and unfamiliar enemies close in, it becomes clear that what they buried was never just a vault...

It was a warning.

Now, the desert is whispering-and this time, not all of them will make it out.All Rights Reserved

Drawn into a web of secrets that the townspeople would rather keep buried, Claire is forced to confront her family's own hidden past. With each clue she uncovers, the more dangerous her quest becomes, as the true culprits will do anything to keep the past from coming to light.

The Unnoticed Bird by BooksbyyJ

Evelyn has always felt invisible. No matter how hard she tries to be seen, she's the one people look past - the quiet girl with too many thoughts and not enough words. She's misunderstood at home, overlooked at school, and stuck wondering if anyone will ever really know her. After a sudden loss forces her to move to a new town, Evelyn tries to start over. But it's hard to rebuild yourself when you've never really known who you were. A secret buried in her family's past. Then she meets someone who seems to understand her silence - someone who notices what others don't. And for the first time, Evelyn begins to see that maybe being unseen doesn't mean being unworthy. It's a story about feeling lost, about being quiet in a loud world, and about finding your voice when no one expects you to. Even the quietest souls have stories worth hearing.

The Dragon Kings and the Prophecy [SAMPLE] by broadstar1208

The is now a SAMPLE ONLY. The story will continue EXCLUSIVELY on AnyStories. "Hello little one" came a booming voice, deep and sultry that made my stomach flutter like wings of a butterfly. "My Lord" I replied, keeping my head down, a quick curtesy, and eyes glued to the floor as if the marble tile was the most interesting pattern in the room. The auras coming from the dragon king was so demanding I felt like I could pass out. "Look at me little one. We do not bite. Much." the voice commanded, although gently it held power. A few snickers softly resonated. I took a breath and gently rose my eyes to meet the most beautiful golden eyes. I was so entranced that I almost didn't hear the one word that was going to change my life forever. Little did I know just how much my life was about to change. "MATE." It took me a minute to register what just happened. Excuse me? Did i just hear the word mate? Oh shit. -------- Everly lives in a world where supernatural creatures live side by side humans.

Axle's Perjury by BeWi_Writes

Axle lives behind carefully constructed walls, preferring the searing familiarity of emotional pain and isolation to the terrifying vulnerability of hope. Scarred by a past that whispers constant self-loathing, their self-imposed exile is a safer haven than the prospect of letting anyone in. Yet, Rowan, easy to read and easygoing yet possessing the will of a gladiator, is inexplicably drawn to Axle's blatant warnings of "Danger. Stay Away." Despite the crushing darkness that consumes Axle, Rowan glimpses a raw flicker of worth, a soul worth fighting for, recognizing a similar battle fought within themselves. Now, Rowan faces a perilous choice that could shatter them both: risk everything to breach Axle's defenses and understand the torment that binds them, or lose to the destructive grip of despair. This isn't merely about physical strength for Rowan; it's a fierce, unwavering determination to conquer Axle's deeply ingrained self-destruction, even if it means confronting his own vulnerabilities. Can this gladiator, driven by a profound ambition to save, truly rescue Axle from the precipice without succumbing to the same destructive flame that threatens to consume them both.
