Kael grew up believing he was nothing more than an orphan cursed with strange dreams and untamable fire. But when his bond with a forgotten lion spirit awakens, Kael discovers the truth: he is tied to the ancient leyline of Eldaria, and the Infernari Order will stop at nothing to claim that power.
Together with Niko, the rogue assassin who hides brilliance behind mischief, and Saphira, the warrior bound by secrets of her own, Kael is thrust into a war against Riven, the Scarlet Widow, whose telekinetic terror threatens to shatter their world.
But victory comes at a cost. Betrayal splits the bonds of trust. Blood and fire carve new scars. And as Kael's power grows beyond his control, he must decide what kind of monster he is willing to become to save those who remain.
When the ashes settle, they find themselves hurled into a future unlike anything they have ever known: a world of towers and machines, where Morthain Draven, the shadow behind the chaos, waits with an empire built on lies and inevitability.
Forged by fire. Tempered by loss. Hunted across time itself.
Kael's story is just beginning...

The Villainess Won't Play
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.Complete
The Obsidian Pact
The Obsidian Pact Lady Elara Veridia is a woman living on borrowed time. Her ancient family's wealth is gone, and her secret superpower-a chaotic, unpredictable telekinetic Aura-threatens to destroy her from within. Her only salvation comes in the form of a decree: a forced marriage to the most powerful man in the Territories. Kael Arcadia is a ruthless industrialist whose riches are limitless and whose heart is a glacial void. He sees Elara not as a bride, but as a calculated acquisition to secure his political agenda. Their union is a cold business merger, conducted under the sheer, unyielding weight of his high-tech Citadel. But this isn't just a political contract. Kael is guarding a terrible secret: an ancient fantasy evil known as the Void Entity is awakening, and only the rare defensive power of his bloodline, combined with the raw, volatile energy of Elara's Aura, can contain it. Their reluctant partnership quickly turns into high-stakes combat training, where mutual distrust gives way to dangerous, undeniable attraction. As Elara and Kael fight to stabilize their combined power, they are watched by Lysander, a charming, jealous rival who seeks to seize control of the Arcadia empire. His looming betrayal threatens not only to fracture their fragile alliance but also to unleash the Void upon the world. To save their people, Elara must master the power that terrifies her, and Kael must risk the one thing he swore to protect: his heart. Can a marriage born of duty and cold calculation evolve into the passionate strength needed to defeat a world-ending threat?

Deicide: Death's Chosen Assassin
Kael Drayven grew up in the shadows of an orphanage that was anything but ordinary. Trained from a young age to kill with precision and intellect, he became the ultimate weapon-cold, calculating, and deadly. But Kael wasn't content to be a pawn in someone else's game. At just 18, he masterminded the destruction of the very place that shaped him, erasing his past in a blaze of fire and blood. For two years, he roamed free, a ghost in the underworld, his body riddled with scars and his mind sharper than ever. But even the smartest and deadliest aren't invincible. At 20, Kael succumbed to the wounds and exhaustion of a life lived on the edge. Death wasn't the end for him, though. In his final moments, Kael is confronted by a vengeful god who offers him a new purpose: become his chosen assassin and take down the twelve gods who betrayed him. In a new world brimming with magic and divine power, Kael's sharp mind and lethal skills make him the perfect weapon. But can a man who has only known betrayal and bloodshed find meaning in a god's quest for revenge? Or will he simply become another expendable piece in a cosmic game far bigger than himself?
Oops, I'm the BL Hero's Kid Now
I died doing what I loved-chasing deadly viruses across war zones and jungles. I was a world-class infectious disease expert, emotionally detached but good at saving lives. My guilty pleasure? BL novels full of angst, smut, and emotionally constipated men. So when I died in a freak plane crash, my guardian angel gave me a choice. I asked to be reincarnated into one of my favorite BL novels. I did not ask to be reincarnated as the illegitimate daughter of the cold, ruthless CEO male lead-a man so awful he literally tried to buy the other male lead's body in chapter three. Now I'm a four-month-old baby in diapers with one goal: fix this terrible love story. To do that, I'll have to: Turn my emotionally stunted, power-hungry father into a decent human being Save the sweet second male lead from being trafficked and destroyed by plot And oh-be the world's cutest, smartest, most manipulative toddler along the wayComplete
