The twin planets of Sykana and Carunos existed once in harmony. But that was a long time ago, and ever since a skirmish at a remote outpost in space, they have fought the 'Subtle War'. A war without armies, and where the fighting takes place inside the corridors of power. The Greaters must watch their step for trained killers lurk in the shadows.
For one Sykanian boy, the battle was just about to begin. Zan was a hungry pauper, forced into a life of thievery by a childhood tragedy. But the protection of a secret he holds dear leads to an intriguing invitation that could change his life forever.
Having to trust his instincts, and desperate for a cure to a terrible disease that has ravaged the galaxy for thousands of years, he embarks on a journey that has the power to release long held desires. But can they be controlled?
Followed by sinister cloaks that are somehow familiar, Zan must battle his own demons and piece together the remnants of his memory in order to determine who to trust. As he delves deeper, he begins to question what is real, and just how much of his life has really been by accident.

Hades
They say gut feelings are your guardian angels, Ella Thomas will soon find out that hers was leading her to something she could never imagine existed. Hades has watched over Ella since the day she was born, he was her guardian angel from the depths of the underworld. For centuries he's waited, waited for someone to love. He vowed to himself to protect Ella and only watch from afar. She was so innocent and so human, he couldn't take that away from her. For 20 years he kept his promise, for 20 long and grueling years he watched from afar, until something happens, something that Hades can't ignore. He makes a hasty decision and leaves the underworld, heading to Earth where he knows she will be. But there's a catch, the very person, or should I say God, that Hades despises the most will stop at nothing to destroy his happiness, even if it means killing someone so harmless and oh so very fragile. ....... "How do I look?" He muttered, stepping out of the bathroom. The room seemed increasingly smaller with his large stature in it. I nearly gasped, why did he have to look so good in those grey sweats? I swallowed, trying to act unaffected by his beauty, "Convincingly human." ....... 1st in Love - 13 June 2021 4th in Romance - 13 June 2021 1st in Gods - 13 June 2021 1st in Dark - 30 September 2021 4th in Darkness - 30 May 2022Complete
Meeting Him |✔|
I wish I had met you sooner, so I could love you longer. ••••••••••••••••••• "Zavian!!" I shouted as I stood in front in front of Jason. "Iris, move." He said sternly. He was being not reasonable. "See, you can't control my life." I snapped at him. He looked furious. "Jason. We will meet tomorrow." I said. "You are not going to meet him tomorrow." Zavian growled beyond furious. "Zavian." I glared at him. If he can't be me with be then he can't stop me from finding someone else. "Iris, do you want him to die?" Zavian said dangerously. He was being serious. He will kill him for sure. His threats are never empty. "Jason, I am so sorry. I will explain everything tomorrow." I said pushing Jason out. "You said clearly that you want to do nothing with me." I said turning to Zavian ,my anger surfacing. "When did I say I didn't want to do nothing with you?" He asked stepping closer. "You were the one who said it yesterday!!" I shouted at his face. "I want to do unspeakable things to you." He whispered. I froze. Shit, I shouldn't let his words affect me. "Zavian, get out." I said lowly. "And I can do those things right now." He whispered as his eyes traveled down my body. ********************* Completed!!!! Going through severe editing!!Complete

Discovering Shadows (Completed)
I have restarted this book. I wanted to make it easier to read and more enjoyable. I hope to make shorter chapters and update frequently. :) In the beginning Sylar has no name. No one cares. She's just another kid to fall into a system because she was an unwanted mess. A child that doesn't talk? Yea, no one care about that either. A shady group home filled with bullies and secrets? Yea, you guessed NO ONE CARES! To find friends in a place like this is unlikely. This place is built to feed off the fears of kids and their lack of parental role models. No one holds on to dreams for long in a place like this. You get placed here and you are as good as forgotten. Except when a couple shows up looking as out of place as an astronaut in a gold mine or a miner in space whichever one you prefer. This couple comes and shakes things up. Good or Bad has yet to be decided...only someone's bound to get hurt, someone's bound to be broken. The only question is will the wounds heal or fester and kill?Complete

Chaos ensues as Mona and the guardians tasked to protect her attempt to eliminate the threat before it's too late. Will they succeed? Or will the enemy find a way to get what they want?Complete
The God & The Shadow
"Jealous?" "Why would I be?" "Because I know your fantasies." He argued. I leaned closer to him, smelling his overwhelming scent. "And I'm appalled at how they are just that. Fantasies." He smiled and leaned closer, piercing through my eyes with the blue of his. I wanted to grab the dagger beneath my pillow and kill him already. "Are you now?" He answered, coming dangerously close to me. He brought his hand up to lift my chin, our noses touching. Gods, help me. I want nothing to do with this man. I really don't. He hates me, and I hate him. Our banter is not just banter; there's always a sense of truth in between, and that's what makes it all the more addicting. - THE GOD is the master of death and darkness. Lore, previously known as Hades, rarely ever visited the mortal realm. As the gods get involved in a war against the rebellious uprising amongst the dark angels, he must work together with a group of immortals, a ruthless and serpentine assassin being one of them. THE SHADOW is a half-breed. Left destitute at seven and made a killer eleven years later, she leaves destruction and death wherever she walks the mortal realm. Forced into a team unit as punishment for her insolent behavior, she must work with the god she grew to admire and learned to hate. Alliances built on lies and hatred are inevitable to fall. Who will win in this game of the gods? (Modern Retelling of the story of Hades & Persephone)Complete
