Almond
"Some people teach you how to speak again. Others make you wish you'd stayed silent." _____ Almond A quiet love. A buried past. A story that will leave you aching. She doesn't talk much-not about the things that matter. Not about the names she still can't say aloud. Not about the night that changed everything. She just wants to breathe without breaking. To disappear into the background and not be noticed. But He notices her. Gentle where others push, patient where others pry-he doesn't ask her to open up. He just stays. And sometimes, that's louder than words. But love is never simple. And even the softest hearts have storms waiting inside them. "A soft love story wrapped in ache, healing, and unspoken words. Walk with me through the quiet chaos of two broken hearts trying to find their way. You won't regret it." -----
The Death Of Eternity
Born without empathy, Elara was considered a monster long before the real ones invaded Earth. Now, in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by beasts, her lack of fear has made her the perfect assassin. She kills without remorse, surviving in the ruins where humans are nothing more than cattle. Her latest contract promises a fortune: kill a mysterious recluse living in the Spire. But the target, Valerius, isn't human. He is an 800-year-old vampire who is faster, stronger, and infinitely more bored than she is. When Elara fails to assassinate him, Valerius spares her life with a twisted counter-offer. He doesn't want to fight; he wants to die. He hires Elara to find a way to bypass his immortality and end his centuries of stagnation. Elara accepts the job, but as she searches for a way to destroy the vampire, she finds herself battling a new, unfamiliar emotion. In a world defined by death, the most dangerous risk she can take is falling in love with the man she was hired to kill.
