When sixteen-year-old Neel Sharma steps into the Ceremony of Light, all he carries is hope - hope to rise above his poor beginnings, to prove he's more than a forgotten boy from the lower wards. Every initiate awakens one element. Fire. Storm. Water. Earth.
But when Neel touches the Origin Crystal, the world shatters.
Fire erupts from one hand, lightning from the other - two elements at once. A power that should not exist. The Crystal cracks, the Elders recoil, and the whispers begin: Shattered Core. Cursed. Dangerous.
The Academy doesn't know whether to crown him... or destroy him.
Among his peers, the fracture spreads. Aarav Menon, once Neel's childhood friend, now burns with envy as Neel steals the attention he craved. Leela Deshmukh, gentle and steadfast, refuses to abandon Neel even as fear surrounds him, her loyalty glowing warmer than she dares admit. And Shanaya Rajput, the Academy's fiery prodigy, sees Neel as the one rival who might eclipse her - a rival she is determined to claim before he destroys them all.
But the true danger lies deeper. In the shadows of the fractured Crystal stirs a prophecy older than the Academy:
"When flame and storm clash in one vessel, the Serpent shall awaken...
Chains may bind it, or the world will burn."
Haunted by whispers only he can hear, torn between loyalty and rivalry, Neel must fight not just for his place in the Academy - but for his very soul. Because the storm inside him is not his alone... and if it breaks free, no chain in the world can hold it.

MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥
Dushmani-e-ishq
Sidharth Rizvi, a man whose presence is as commanding as his family's legacy, lives by his own ruthless rules. He's the kind of man you'd rather never cross, his dark eyes holding secrets and a power that intimidates even the bravest. On the other side stands Shehnaaz Malik, fiercely independent and spirited, belonging to a family entwined with the Rizvi's in a bitter, generations-old rivalry. "Humara naam sunte hi log kaanpte hain," Sidharth's world proclaims, a world where dominance is everything. "Toh kaanpte honge aapke saamne, mere saamne nahi," Shehnaaz's defiant spirit retorts, refusing to bow. They are sworn enemies, bound by a hatred passed down through bloodlines, yet an undeniable, explosive chemistry pulls them into a dangerous orbit. When an unforeseen circumstance forces them into an inescapable proximity - a twist of fate they both resent - their carefully constructed walls begin to crack. Every interaction is a battle, every glance a spark. He finds her defiance infuriating yet captivating. She sees his darkness but glimpses a vulnerability he hides from the world. Is their intense animosity a shield, or the very foundation of an all-consuming passion? As secrets unravel and the lines between hate and obsession blur, they must confront not just their families' feud, but the terrifying truth that their Dushmani-e-Ishq might just be the most fated, and destructive, love of all. Will their inherited hatred consume them, or will it forge a bond stronger than any conflict?Complete

IN THE WORLD OF NEGATTIONS ~ I Found You~
DESCRIPTION IN THE WORLD OF NEGATION "Love doesn't erase the past- it rewrites it. With every whispered promise,the scars became softer, the nights less lonely. And one day, you realize your heart no longer aches for what was lost.....because his hands have taught it how to hold something new." Not an ordinary highschool romcom. its also revolves around revenge , mystery and sacrifices. Some stories begin with a whisper-a slow, quiet unraveling of hearts. Ours began with a *crash*. Not the poetic kind, where two souls meet under starlight, drawn together by destiny's gentle hand. No. Ours was a collision-messy, painful, drenched in rain and spilled coffee. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One accident. One lie. One keychain that held the weight of a locked-away soul. This isn't a love story. At least, not yet. Mumbai-the city of dreams, where every heartbeat races against time.** *Vivan Luthra* isn't just the golden boy of college she's a masterpiece of contradictions. The cricket field bows to his talent, teachers praise his discipline, and his friends envy his effortless charm. But behind the trophies and the perfect smile, he's a prisoner of his own making. Every compliment is a weight. Every expectation is a chain. And the only thing heavier than his father's ambition? *The secret he's been hiding for years.* Then *she* walks in. *Kavya Randhawa* doesn't belong here-not in this ruthless world of ranks and rigid rules. A poet with a soul too deep for textbooks, she was supposed to be in Delhi, sketching sunsets and weaving words into art. But life had other plans. Dragged back to Mumbai by her parents' unrelenting demands, she's now trapped in a suffocating cycle of NEET prep, her dreams locked away like old diaries. *Their first meeting is a collision.* *Except... he's pretending for a reason.* for those who liked healing romace.

《 Highest Ranking: #5 in Vampire 》 "Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked. I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone. It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him. Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up. ~~ Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends. But, Marcus went away. Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college.. Then one day, he shows up. But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him. But something was very off. Very off, indeed. Cover Design: @newsies- Copyright @tavanalee No Rights Reserved 2018Complete

At his side stands Ashley, a Flameborn forged in discipline and duty, a steadfast protector whose fiery will shields her allies. With them is Riley, a charismatic Verdant whose humor and warmth mask a deep empathy. But their fragile balance is threatened by Nyx, an enigmatic Azrael bound by an unsettling connection to the very rifts they fight to destroy. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the rifts and the power hidden within their souls. Yet in a world where memory is power and prophecy a weapon, every step forward draws them closer to becoming another tragedy in the endless cycle of forgotten heroes.
