Elina and her half-sisters grew up in the shadows of a massacre that stole their parents' lives. Orphaned and hardened, they swore never to be weak again. At the orphanage, they met Eiliyah, a girl younger than them, and took her in as one of their own. Together, they trained in secrecy, honing their skills until they became the deadliest assassins the underworld had ever seen.

Known only by whispers and fear, each sister earned a name that struck terror into hearts: Elina, The Silver Lotus, graceful and lethal; Ember, The Crimson Blaze, fire incarnate; Elysia, The Stone Veil, precise and unseen; Eleri, The Whispering Gale, the silent predator; and Eiliyah, The Aetherial Blade, disciplined and untouchable. Together, they became legends-the Five Blades-leaving marks that made enemies tremble.

But when betrayal rises from within their own guild and shadows of their past return, the sisters must confront the greatest threat of all: the truth about their blood, their origins, and the nature of power itself. As loyalty fractures and darkness tempts even the strongest, Elina must face her destiny and decide what kind of legend she will leave behind.

From the quiet streets of childhood poverty to the deadly arenas of guild wars, The Silver Lotus is a story of family, loyalty, vengeance, and the delicate balance between shadow and light.

The Shadow of the East is a monster. Tyrin Caderyn is no better. They've met before, but memory painted each a ghost and a flicker of familiarity. Both of them hail from strong and vicious bloodlines. Time and tragedy and choice bind them together. War is on the horizon, and Shadow is in the midst of schemes and plans greater than her. She's on the run from a man she learned to hate, and her own past. Her secrets can destroy her. Tyrin is an Elite warrior for the Ilystari Realm and answers only to the king and queen. When he's sent to hunt down a powerful female, he doesn't question the orders. But when he meets her, everything changes. Darkness encroaches and alliances break. Bonds are formed and friendships shatter. There is a greater power at play than either of them realized. Has fate drawn them together, or something stronger? -- She huffed a quiet laugh. "Well, I suppose I'll get paid one way or another for his death. If you let me keep his body, you have a deal." Tyrin darted his eyes back to gauge the honesty of her response, but she sounded sincere. He finally nodded. Her grin was nothing shy of wicked. Something inside his chest reared it's sleeping head and purred at that expression. "I hope you and I never meet again. These Realms aren't ready for us." Weren't ready for her, he wanted to correct. A shiver of a promise zinged through his blood and he grinned back at her. "What's your name, little assassin?" She started melting back into the shadows - back the way she'd come to give him the privacy of the kill. "I am no one and nothing. Forget about me, pretty male. It won't do to dwell on a shadow." And then she was gone.

Being marked is a curse. Being a Riorson? A death sentence. Verena Riorson-sister to Xaden Riorson, daughter of Fen Riorson, the kingdom's most hated traitor-wasn't raised, she was reforged. Life didn't just shove her down-it beat her bloody and taught her to crawl in silence. Mercy? That word died the day her father did. After the execution, she wasn't fostered with a kind family like the others. No, the kingdom handed her over to the Velmires-a family that worshipped loyalty and burned hatred into the bones of every Marked child they touched. They didn't just punish her for her bloodline. They broke her for it. Rebuilt her into a weapon so sharp, even the gods would flinch. She begged once. Covered in blood, trembling on her knees, she whispered for mercy. The Velmires taught her what a mistake that was. She never asked again. Now she wears her scars like armor. Each mark carved into her back is proof that she survived the kind of hell no one walked out of whole. And Xaden? Her beloved older brother? He never came. Never searched. Never cared. Not until it was too late. The little sister he remembered-the kind-hearted, bright-eyed girl who clung to his hand-is long dead. In her place stands something else. Something colder. Stronger. Unforgiving. She's done hiding the monster they created. Done pretending the fire inside her wasn't born to burn kingdoms down. Verena Riorson has come to remind them all why they should've killed her when they had the chance. And gods help the ones who ever thought they broke her-because now? She's the storm they'll never survive.

The Secret From Within

19 parts Complete Mature

Xavier Blackwood rules the criminal underworld with an iron fist and a heart encased in ice. Feared by rivals, adored by none, and trusted by fewer, he is a man of power, precision, and brutality. The name Blackwood echoes through the underground like a whispered curse-lethal, cold, and untouchable. No one crosses him and lives to tell the tale. Isabella Santino is a ghost in the world of shadows-an assassin whose elegance and silence are as deadly as her blade. With no past, no ties, and no mercy, she's the weapon the highest bidders beg to command but never truly own. Her loyalty belongs to no one, and her secrets are buried deeper than any grave she's ever filled. When Xavier and Isabella's paths collide in the smoke-filled corridors of betrayal, vengeance, and bloodlust, sparks don't just fly-they ignite a war. What begins as a collision of titans becomes a dangerous dance of dominance, secrets, and obsession. But underneath their hardened exteriors, something stirs. Something forbidden. Something human. In a world where love is weakness and trust is a death sentence, "The Secret From Within" dares to ask: what happens when two monsters fall for the very thing they were taught to destroy? Only one truth remains: every secret has its price. And some... are paid in blood.
