When the kingdom falls under the weight of betrayal, King Aldren makes the only choice a desperate man can make: he strikes a deal with Nyhal'Thar, an abyssal god forgotten by men and feared by the gods themselves. In exchange for the power to regain what has been taken from him, Aldren offers everything he has. The pact will give him an army of obedient monsters, creatures born of flesh and shadow, bound to the king by a mental bond that consumes him day after day. Among them is Lyra, his beloved, now suspended between humanity and the abyss, between broken memories and a power she does not understand. As Aldren marches to claim the throne and punish the traitors, the sky splits, the earth trembles, and the god whispers ever louder. Each choice draws Aldren deeper into the abyss he himself has conjured. Traitors, ancient myths, an army of monsters, a king who can no longer distinguish duty from obsession, and a war that no longer concerns just one kingdom, but the entire world. To close the breach, Aldren must face the only enemy he cannot defeat with his sword. And when the god claims what is his, the king must choose between saving the world or saving the only person he loves, even though she is no longer human. A grimdark fantasy steeped in horror, where love survives death, transformation, and madness, but not without a cost.

Mari thought that coming home to a ghost town after her mom's death was bad. It turns out it's worse having to attend her estranged father's wedding and letting her childhood best friend break down the walls she carefully built. ***** Mari Chasey's life is suspended. She returns to her hometown in a cold November day following her mother's death, after years of studying abroad in Europe. Pinewood is sleepy in the bitter cold, the deserted shoreline stretching further than she can reach, but that's okay. Mari is good with temporary things and at not lingering. She's not planning to stay for long, just enough to sort out her mother's affairs without poking at open wounds. Then her father returns. Jack Chasey, former renowned superstar, absent for most of her childhood, is getting married to a woman Mari hardly knows. He gets to begin again, build something new, while Mari grapples with a fractured life and all the scattered pieces of herself. Her mother was supposed to live forever; Jack was mercurial and always at arm's length. But now he's here to stay. Enter Kinney St. James. Once Mari's closest friend, then another person that passed by like a comet, she still knows Mari and all the shards of her. Even the sharper ones. In the stillness of winter, Mari reconnects with the quiet life Jack always wanted for her, the softer parts of her that only Kinney can tap into, and what it truly means to be her mother's daughter. ***** Open Novella Contest -- prompts 24, 29, 46, & 77 [[OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2026 ROUND 1 WINNER]] © 2026 caterina george // all rights reserved
