A fallen noble with a machine heart fights a kingdom powered by stolen memories.
In Veyrath, every city survives because of Heart-Engines: vast machines powered by memories, bloodline curses, and human sacrifice.
Sixteen-year-old Cael Ashborne was born heir to one of the kingdom's greatest noble houses. Then his family was blamed for a massacre, stripped of its name, and erased from power.
Now Cael survives in the soot-choked lower city, hated for crimes he does not understand. But when a forbidden engine awakens inside his chest, he becomes the one thing the crown fears most:
A fallen heir who can hear the memories trapped inside the machines.
To clear his family's name, Cael must join illegal guild trials, survive rival nobles, battle memory-starved monsters, and uncover the secret buried beneath the capital before the kingdom turns him into fuel.

Deletion of 1940 America: Subtraction in World War II
An alternate scenario of World War II. Typically, these stories involve adding elements, such as equipping Japan with modern technology or granting them knowledge from the future. But that approach feels too conventional, so I tried subtracting instead. I decided to remove the enormous factor that is the United States of America. The result was an entirely different history.

He is the last living One-Eyed Vampire, a legendary being believed to have vanished a thousand years ago. Calm on the outside, dangerous on the inside. He carries a power he barely understands and a destiny he never asked for. --- Story Description :- In a world where vampires are fading into legend, one ancient bloodline still survives... hidden in plain sight. Lucifer lives what seems like an ordinary life. School. Friends. Enemies. Secrets.

Why do powerful beings recognize him as their king? And who is the mysterious figure moving in the darkness, waiting for the right moment to strike?

Some legends are meant to stay buried. Some kings are born in silence. And some eyes... were never meant to open.
Cute Monster
Cliché The thing that Jodie Black hate the most are clichés. She prefers jumping out the window, from the tenth floor than reading or watching a cliché book or movie. If Romeo and Juliet were true, she would be the evil villain that would shoot them straight to their hearts, before the story ends. That was one of the reasons to why almost all her friends are guys. Jodie never wished to change, even when Adam Harvey entered her life. Everyone called him 'the monster' for his looks, there were many rumors about him killing people, about him being a thief, and about him being an assassin. They were all just random rumors, rumors that Jodie never believed. But Jodie made a mistake. #27 in TeenFictionComplete
