You do not question The Way.
Every Toran knows this, even Kiran, a lowly orphan. But at age sixteen, no matter how hard he tries, he’s still tormented by doubt. With only an ancient scroll to guide them, he and six other teens embark on a quest into the Land Unknown, a journey across flatlands rife with wind demons, then raft a river whose spirit rages in a fury of whitewater, only to encounter a clan of nomads entranced by a witch and shaman. Kiran and his friends were warned to beware the savages and their heathen ways. But Kiran’s curiosity leads him astray.
When the group meets The Guardian and his family of followers, the others believe him to be the Wise Man described in the scroll. But something isn’t quite right. Too late, Kiran realizes they’ve been seduced by a cult. Into the jungle they flee, into the territory of cannibalistic headhunters, and the quest turns into a fight for survival.
Lost and facing starvation, Kiran must use all the skills he’s learned from the natives to survive. If he is to succeed in his quest, he must decide whether to accept The Way of his forefathers or trust his own judgment to find THE PATH TO THE SUN.

In a world where knowledge is power, Elara, a young woman from an advanced era, stumbles upon a mysterious library that only appears under the light of a full moon. Drawn by its secrets, she solves an ancient riddle, unlocking a portal to a forgotten realm brimming with magical artifacts and wisdom.

The jungle that holds the heart of this new world whispers secrets, guiding her toward an amulet that grants her dominion over nature itself. As she grapples with her new identity, Elara must leave her sanctuary to forge her presence in the outer world, where the ancient forest she now embodies once stood. Without an identity or allies, she must carve out a path in a world unfamiliar with her power. With the weight of two worlds resting on her shoulders, Elara's journey is only beginning. As she navigates through the mysteries of her newfound existence, she must decide how to balance her divine connection with the natural world and her place in the outer world-before both slip beyond her grasp.
Omega and the beast
You know when people say how it's like love at first sight when seeing their love for the first time? You look him in the eyes and know he's the man of your dreams. Bullshit! There's nothing that would ever change my mind about the so-called love of my life! Sure, the first time I saw him he was annoyingly handsome with his proud demeanour & defined cheekbones. That penetrating look of his made my knees weak. With shiny black shoes and a Dracula coat with a hairstyle as shiny as his Santorini black jaguar. But the first thing I thought when I saw Reed Ramon Hook the third was, what a twat! A proud rich dipshit who thinks he can own everything. No one could ever say no to this noble twat! You may wonder why I roast the love of my life. But is there anyone who has the permission to do so it must be his own omega, right? Yes, I forgot to mention how this perfect dipshit to a hunkalicious twat is the alpha of the Hookhill pack. To be honest, I had no idea what that meant. Nor did I know how a man can bend down and suddenly stand on four paws, growing a tail! It came as news to me! But the biggest shock was how it turned out that I also can warp into a beast with a furry tail above my ass! From being an unsuccessful yet optimistic guy without an income but with a sense of sarcasm, to then kind of belong to town's richest man, becoming the subject of an Alpha battle. I understand if you're confused. So was I! But let me rewind the tape and take everything from the beginning. Lean back and embrace your sassiness! Because sassiness rules and is needed when dealing with a twat! Heads up! This book contains mature themes like smut, mpreg, violence & bad language. It addresses important topics like rights & gender. I want to highlight these themes but don't intend to devalue anyone stereotypically. It's a fictional story intended to entertain but with important topics. Trigger warning for abusive-like violence and oppression, mainly towards the end.Complete
