They said the sea never forgot.
On nights when the fog rolled in thick as wool, the cliffs of Grayhaven vanished, the stars drowned, and the waves carried voices that did not belong to the living. Fishermen swore they heard them-pleading, weeping, sometimes laughing in tones that made their nets tremble in their hands. The villagers called it superstition, but their doors stayed barred after midnight all the same.
Long ago, a bargain had been struck. A man betrayed, a lantern lit, and a curse born from salt and sorrow. From that night forward, the Keeper walked the coast, his lantern swaying through the mist. He did not wander far. He did not need to.
For every soul he ever claimed had chosen to follow the light.
The flame promised safety. It promised home. It promised everything except the truth.
And once you saw it-once you let the glow into your eyes-the Keeper was already watching.
Waiting.
Hunting.

Lighthouse Keeper's Tale
an old lighthouse on the cliff-it was a mystery wrapped in legends. Eamon, the quiet keeper of the light, had lived alone by the storm-battered coast for years. The villagers whispered that he spoke to ghosts, that the lighthouse could guide lost souls as well as lost ships. When a stormy night brings Liora to the lighthouse door, drenched and shivering, Eamon realizes this visitor is different. Soon, Eamon learns the truth: Liora is one of the souls drawn to the Beacon, forever bound to its light. But Eamon's not the only one who notices. Finnian, a curious boy, sneaks out to uncover the truth, and Maeve, the village's storyteller, warns everyone that the sea never gives up its secrets lightly. When Captain Ronan, a retired sailor saved by the beacon years ago, returns, he and Eamon must uncover the mystery of Liora's lost love-and whether the beacon can bring her peace, or if her spirit is forever tied to its eerie light.Terminé
Ashes of the accursed
This story begins in the shadow of the Dominion, a vast, oppressive empire that has ruled the land for generations through fear, conquest, and the iron grip of its armies. Their citadels stand across the heartlands, their banners darkening the skies, and their soldiers march endlessly into villages that dare resist. Beyond the Dominion's borders lie the Cursed Lands, broken regions scarred by ancient wars of the Fallen Gods. Only Few people survive long in these wastelands, but whispers persist that they hold secrets the Dominion fears. It is here that Dorian's journey begins. A man scarred by loss and carrying the black flame within his veins, he wanders from the Dominion's broken outposts into the forgotten wilds. The black flame is no ordinary gift-it binds and burns, a curse as much as it is a weapon. His body bears tattoos that shift and spread with each growth of essence, marking him as different. Dorian does not yet understand why he has been chosen. He only knows that he is being hunted for it. This is the story of vengeance, where both sides has to burn. Either they will burn each other or they will burn this world to ashes. If you like what i do. Please support me. Link in bio.
Crown of Greed and Power
["You look like hell," she stated at last. Azlan scoffed, "Likewise." She continued to study him through suspicious eyes and he couldn't help but wonder what she looked like beneath all the dried blood. He could tell she was unique though, definitely intriguing. ### "You think you know everything?" She turned to him in challenge, but Azlan only stared the female down, unbothered. "You don't know anything." "Don't I? It doesn't take a person with eyes to recognize all that built up anger and pain sizzling inside you." "Stay the fuck out of my business."] While grieving the loss of her boyfriend, huntress Nera Atherton made it to her mission to kill every beast she can hunt down to avenge her love. Two years pass when she crosses paths with a mysterious and arrogant man, Azlan, who claims to be searching for his sister's killer.

In The Hollow Where He Waits
This is a story that delves into the shadowed corners of the human spirit, where fear is a constant companion and strength is a flickering ember waiting to be fanned. It speaks of those who have been broken by life's tempests, yet possess an indomitable will to survive, finding solace not in the comforting glow of familiarity, but in the ethereal presence of a guiding entity - a 'Ghost' - that whispers resilience in the face of despair. It's for the lost souls who navigate the desolate landscapes of their existence, clinging to the faintest hope of a love that can bloom against all odds, a love as untamed and wild as the deepest wilderness. The narrative follows individuals who have learned to converse with the silence, finding their sanctuary not in noisy crowds, but in the hushed intimacy of the unknown. Their deepest connections are not forged in the bright, scrutinizing light of day, but in the potent, intoxicating embrace of what remains hidden, in the quiet battles waged within the soul. It celebrates the strength that lies dormant within, the survival that often goes unseen, acknowledging that even in the most desolate terrains, a profound and fierce love can indeed take root and flourish. The book is an exploration of resilience, a testament to the enduring power of the human heart to seek and find connection, even when shrouded in the deepest of shadows. It's for those who have walked through the whispering woods of their own lives, not just seeking solace, but discovering something far more elemental and profound: the realization that their deepest truths and strongest bonds often bloom in the most unexpected, and sometimes, the most silent of places.Terminé

Letters from the Other Side
She woke to a world washed in silver. The clouds hung low, heavy with secrets. And when the rain began, soft, deliberate. She welcomed it like an old friend. But this morning wasn't like the others. Between the drops, she saw them. Tiny beings, born of shimmer and storm. Fairies. Real ones. They moved like the rain itself knew how to keep them hidden. And in that quiet wonder, something ancient stirred. Everyone else rushed past, umbrellas raised, eyes down. No one noticed. Except her. One fairy remained. Still, glowing, watching her like it had been waiting. When she whispered, "Hello," the world began to shift. But the rain wasn't the only thing falling that day. A parcel was coming. A diary that writes back. A demon who already knows her name. And a truth her father buried long ago. The past isn't sleeping. It's waking up.
Lost thoughts
Some thoughts are never lost...they wait for someone to find them. Elara thought the voices in the fog were only dreams. But every night, the same cobblestone streets and eyeless faces pulled her deeper, their deaths carving themselves into her veins until she could no longer tell where the living ended and the dead began. Each murder she solved should have freed her. Instead, she woke in the same bed, in the same silence, with new scars and louder whispers. Then Kieran appeared-warm, human, real. Or so she believed. His touch gave her hope...until the fog began to coil around him too. Now, the voices chant one name for them both. Shadowchosen. And Elara must decide if the curse is hers alone-or if she's dragged him into the dark with her. "In the fog of the dead, some thoughts refuse to fade-until they claim the living too."
