Ira Esabeth has lived her whole life in London, sheltered by wealth and a father who controls every step she takes. When she learns about The Indian Express 2035 - a futuristic semi-luxury train that will cross all of India in thirty months - she decides to run away, reinventing herself as Tara Malhotra.

On board, she meets Vivaan Joshi, a restless traveler searching for meaning beyond his past failures. Their journey takes them from Delhi to Kashmir, through breathtaking landscapes, vibrant festivals, and dangerous encounters - including men sent by Ira's father to bring her back.

But secrets can only stay hidden for so long. As sparks of love flicker between Tara and Vivaan, her lies threaten to derail everything. The Escape is a story of identity, rebellion, love, and discovering where you truly belong - set against the ever-changing backdrop of India.

Blood of Dragons Omnibus (The Elder Scrolls) by Tyranidlord
55 parts Ongoing
Some Legends Fade. Others refuse to die. For two hundred years Kaius has cheated death, defied fate, and outlasted time itself. He is the sword behind countless victories, has bled for emperors, slain monsters and demi-gods alike and altered the course of history but such triumphs always come at a cost. His friends. His family. His flesh. Even his very soul. Now, Skyrim teeters on the brink and threatens to drag the rest of the world down with it. Civil war stains the land red, vampires prowl the night and for the first time in 4,000 years, dragons are returning as harbingers of the greatest of their kind; Alduin, the World-Eater. Yet, while all eyes turn skyward a darker horror stirs beneath their feet, one that makes dragonfire merciful in comparison. Fate demands Kaius rise once more to challenge it, but this time even a legend won't survive alone. What to expect: -A connected series of short stories, novellas, novelettes and novels of approx 275,000 words -A gritty, character driven fantasy grounded in realism, loss and hard-won victories. -Slow burn character growth and arcs between interesting and varied main characters. -Violent, but grounded combat and action. -Dark secrets and revelations -personal stakes against world ending threats: Apocalyptic wars, vampiric plots, dragons and WORSE -Subtle romance and connection, combined with gritty humour that's earned, not forced. What not to expect: -A chosen one with everything handed to him (or them?) -Shiny magic systems, -Plot armour or plot immunity. -Anything that wouldn't fit in the same world as the likes of 'The Witcher', 'Game of Thrones', or 'Lord of the Rings' ***New chapters every Monday, Wednesday & Friday***

From Strangers to Siblings by _adorablebonds_
52 parts Ongoing
They were three brothers-hearts full of love, now fractured by tragedy. Ever since the day they lost their mother, their hearts have carried a quiet storm-grief buried beneath unspoken rage, all directed at the one man they once trusted most: their father. And yet, the father remains close-waiting in silence, hoping for a moment, longing for the day his sons will finally let him speak... to reveal the truth that's been buried beneath years of pain. Far away, a girl mourns the loss of her mother-the only family she ever had. In a single moment, she becomes an orphan... even though she knows she has a father who doesn't even know she exists... and the half-brothers who have no idea she was ever born. Her mother never hid the truth, but told it gently, not to place blame, only to help her understand. There were villains in their story, yes... but her parents were not among them. They were both victims of a cruel plan that tore lives apart. And so, her mother raised her with love and with a warning: "He already has a family. Don't go searching for a place where you don't belong." But destiny doesn't listen to warnings. Now, she finds herself in the very house her mother once warned her never to enter. A place heavy with old wounds and buried truths. Among people who see her not for who she is, but for the past she represents. To them, she is nothing more than a living echo of a mistake... a shadow of a history they'd rather forget. In this home, acceptance is a distant dream and survival may be the only thing she can hope for. But sometimes, even a mistake can become the reason to heal something which is broken. Born from a cruel twist of fate... Raised in silence. Can she mend the family which is on the verge of destruction?
