The Demon's Tongue
Centuries ago, a demon known only as Kael the Silenced was bound inside a forbidden grimoire, his voice sealed by ancient magic. Any word he speaks can kill-and any mortal who hears him dies screaming. When Elara, a reclusive human scribe and linguistic scholar, is hired to translate the lost language of the grimoire, she doesn't realize she's breaking the final seal. Now, Kael is free-but his curse binds him to her. She's the only one who can hear his voice without dying, and the only one who can write the words that might unbind them both. Every word he speaks through her ink burns with power-and temptation.

Whispers in the Shadows: Act I
Once, Lirama believed in redemption. Now, she believes in survival. Bound by blood and shadow to a power that should not speak, she walks the edges of Faerûn-neither servant nor free, both a phylactery and a rebellion. When whispers of an ancient evil rise once more, she knows the truth: this is no war of kingdoms, no tale of heroes. It is rot festering beneath the world's skin. To stop it, she does not call on saints-but on the broken. A cursed assassin hunted by her past. A half-elf torn between night and moonlight. A storm-kissed sorceress who fears what she seeks. A fallen princess crowned in shadow. A charming barbarian fleeing legacy. An oathbreaker who still dreams of justice. Each bears a secret. Each carries a weight. And none of them walk this path for glory. As their blades are drawn and fates entwine, one truth becomes clear: Some wars are not fought in light- they are survived in shadow.Complete

Torn between the order of the pack and the freedom of the wild, she must learn where her true instincts lie-and who she can trust when every howl in the dark hides a secret.

The Forgotten nameless and the elf princess
Long ago, the Void claimed a soul of humankind, stripping away their name, their history, their face. All memory of them faded from the world, save for the chorus of whispers the Void left behind. Thus they became The Nameless Whispered One - forgotten, yet forever haunted. But though the Void unmade them, it also left them tools. The Nameless moved like a shadow across stone, their steps forgotten as soon as they were made. Doors barred to others opened at their touch, for no lock remembered to resist them. Their daggers struck unseen, their enemies already fallen before their names could be spoken. Where others saw a curse, the Nameless carried silence as a blade. Yet even shadows need an anchor. In the halls of the evergreen court lived a princess, ageless as the trees from which her crown was carved. Her memory was unbroken, her gaze unshaken. Where all others forgot the Nameless moments after meeting them, the princess remembered. Always. She walked beside them when no one else could. She stayed their hand when the whispers urged blood. She gave them a place in her story, when they had none of their own. The people feared her choice. They whispered that she risked her throne and her immortal line by binding herself to a soul touched by the Void. But still she kept the Nameless at her side - the forgotten blade and the eternal princess. Together they became a legend: one lost, one unyielding. The Nameless slipped through shadows, unseen and unremembered, while the princess stood radiant, the only one who could call them back from the abyss. And so the tale is told: when a shadow passes silently through the forest and no one recalls its shape, it is the Nameless at work. And when you see a lone princess walking the moonlit woods, know she is not alone - for her memory is the one chain the Void itself could not break.
