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.

Outland: Red Ledgers of a Demon Hunter
Terra Firma is gone. Mankind has descended. Demons rule the new world. In the aftermath of Biblical Desolation, Man's last dregs have fled to Outland---an accursed realm beneath the Earth, ruled by the Demonic forces of Chaos. Two factions, the Tantalus Consortium and the Terran Republic, battle each other and the uncanny frontiers around them in endless cycles of war. Demons, garbed in man-made flesh, wander the haunted places of this world, seeking whom they may devour. But God is not silent in the face of His people's suffering. Judges, chosen by the Angels, and their Slayer attendants follow these evils into their unholy lairs, steering both empires toward the light as Demons vie to keep humanity trapped in the dark. Two wars, one material and one spiritual, forever ravage the landscape, every new battle threatening to be the one that finishes what Desolation started. The Judges sponsored many great heroes, but none so well-known as Alptraum the Chaos-Eater--a Nephilim warrior from another realm who turned his back on sin and swore his sword to the Lord, becoming one of God's most fearsome warriors against creatures of the night. The Chaos-Eater fell contending for the faith, but he is succeeded by a son, hardened by strife and ordained by tragedy to follow on his warpath. This man, armed with a Heaven-forged Magic Sword, will wade knee-deep into the legions of the damned, carving a path toward salvation for all who cry out in direst need. He is Tony Slade, Exiled Ranger of the Terran Republic, and these are the stories that began his legend. For fans of Gothic horror with a cyberpunk twist, adrenaline-pumping action, and wholesome family values. Expect violence, heinous cruelty, the best and worst of humanity in unflinching detail, constant drug abuse, and a distressing lack of diplomatic solutions to interpersonal conflicts. This is your first and only warning.
TRANSFORMERS: SARKAEAN ALLIANCE BOOK I: Dreams
You may have heard the story of Cybertron, about the Great War between Autobots and Decepticons. But what would happen... if the war was over before it had even begun? New allies. New enemies. A world you think you know-- a story you've never seen before. #tfsaOFFICIAL #tillallareoneTFSA ----------------------------------------------- A Decepticon utopia is a dangerous place to have a dream, but Chiasma is determined to be a hero, no matter the cost. Unfortunately, being a hero is harder than it looks when anyone could be an enemy. Will Chiasma be able to serve and protect the people of Cybercity, or will the eyes watching from the shadows prove to be more than just paranoia? -- Riptide, aka "The Shadow," is the most feared assassin in the Wrecker rebellion. A dark bot with a mysterious past, he is supposed to be taking out the enemy, heading up secret intelligence operations, or better yet, preparing for their big demonstration- not being Razorblade's go-to babysitter. Blade still won't spill the truth behind Riptide's new mission. What the Shadow cannot understand is... why is his new mission, of all things, the key to their revolution? -- Being the most popular teen on Cybertron is stressful enough, but being the son of the High Chancellor, and Lord Heir of an entire planet, is even worse. All Raiden wants to do is be the person everyone's expecting him to be. Thankfully, his friends have his back, and they remind him that being a normal teenager-- that being himself-- is exactly who his mom would have wanted him to be. But how much longer can he pretend to be "normal" before disaster strikes?Complete
Me and Thee: Rome and Me (Rome กับฉัน)

I call him a robot..... robot's aren't supposed to make your heart race.." ~Rome "He doesn't trust me. But trust isn't the problem. The problem is that I want him more than I've ever wanted anything." ~Mhok [PLOT DESCRIPTION] Mhok has lived a life on the edge.....silent, dangerous, and defined by duty. After years in the shadows as a bodyguard, his latest assignment should have been a reprieve. But when Thee's younger brother, Rome, returns from Italy, everything changes. Their first encounter is electric: a clash of guarded hearts and unspoken desires. Rome is charming, sharp, and unafraid to challenge the boundaries Mhok clings to. When rising threats force Mhok to become Rome's personal protector, their connection deepens into something far more volatile. What begins as tension quickly spirals into a slow, scorching burn. As danger closes in around them, secrets surface, and both men are pushed to the brink...of trust, of surrender, of something dangerously close to love. Dark, emotional, and driven by aching intensity, Me and Rome is a story of two men bound by circumstance and undone by each other. ~Some flames don't flicker, they devour.~ [PUBLISHING SCHEDULE] Chapters will be out three times weekly on Monday's, Thursday's and Friday's and there's 13 chapters in total.Complete
