Once Upon a Time: Shadows of Belief (Book 2)
Six months have passed since the Shadow was defeated and Storybrooke was restored. Families are whole again, long-lost heroes have returned, and for the first time in years, hope feels possible. But beneath the surface of happy endings lies a deeper truth: belief has consequences. The magic that resurrected Robin Hood and reunited loved ones also shattered the balance of the realms. Untold stories bleed into reality, twisting familiar faces into dark reflections. And in the silence of the woods, a new Dark One rises Peter Pan, reborn with powers beyond anything Rumplestiltskin ever wielded. As Henry, Regina, Emma, and their family struggle to protect the fragile peace, the next generation Lucy, Robyn, Alice, Clara, Jin, and Leo must face a terrifying truth: every story set free creates ripples, and some tales were never meant to be told. And standing between light and darkness is Eve an alternate version of Regina, born from the balance of the stories themselves. Is she the key to saving the realms... or a reminder that some echoes of the past carry shadows of their own? With allies divided and villains returning in unexpected forms, the heroes will learn that shadows don't simply vanish when the light shines they grow deeper. And this time, the battle is not for a single town, but for the very heart of storytelling itself. Every ending is a beginning. Every belief has a price. And the darkest story is still waiting to be written.

This is a world where magical creatures exist, where the true powers behind the thrones manipulate world governments to their own liking.

WolfKnight | Alternative (english translation)
The book three of the |WolfKnight| trilogy Have you ever wondered how the history of your world would have unfolded if you had never appeared? If your beloved father had never decided to create you? No?! Well... I tried not to think about it either, until Sarkan suddenly decided to ask me that question. Besides, he did it at the worst possible moment. My entire future was hanging by a single, thin thread, for I was one step away from resolving my conflict with the Highest God, and Shadow's controllery sentence had just ended. Recurring nightmares plagued me with fears that my husband would decide to turn his back on his current family, and with the persistent fear of defeat against a divine enemy who grew more powerful day by day. And now this particular question... I received the answer rather quickly, but it didn't satisfy me at all. Why? Because I was forced to experience an alternative version of events firsthand, which, along with my royal pride, suffered a serious blow.

No matter how much he loathes her, he also cannot seem to get her out of his mind. So as to gain some sort of repulsion against her, he helps her investigate the ongoing infection in London's alleys. To his surprise, he finds something of her that drags him deeper into his affectionate misery. As the two battle unhinged infected people, grumpy nobles and the whispers of the high society, they struggle to find a way out of the tunnel of neverending chaos. Maybe this could lead to the ruination of London... Ready yourselves for the hot tea that is about to be spilt.

Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight.

Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world.

Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own.
