Forbidden from pursuing Elain and watching his brothers' happiness from the shadows, the Shadowsinger of the Night Court teeters on the edge of a darkness five hundred years in the making. Each night, he destroys himself in the training ring, hoping pain might silence the whispers that urge him to take what he's been denied. Crystal arrives at the House of Wind carrying shadows of his own. A healer from the Winter Court with rose-quartz hair and ruby eyes, he possesses the rare gift of mending both body and soul.

Neither expects the impossible--- Azriel's shadows reaching out to Crystal in the darkness, recognizing a kindred spirit in suffering.

In a world where mates are destiny and bonds are forever, can two shattered souls forge something new from their broken pieces? Or will the coming storm destroy the fragile hope blooming between them? A story of second chances, healing, and finding light in the darkest places.

Demiurgic Requiem: Rise of the Veylmar Synod
Loneliness shatters. Isolation binds. Trauma transforms. In a world splintered by chaos and rotting from within, the broken are forged into weapons. The Veylmar Synod-an elite order of forgotten Conduits-stands between order and oblivion. They were created to fight the corruption that consumes the world. But the corruption lives inside them. Alaric Kazimir was born unwanted-a child of tragedy, cursed with a power he never asked for. Only his twin sister, Lilith cared for him. When rage and grief tore through him at ten years old, his power destroyed his tormentors, but destroyed the only one he loved. Instead of death or a lonely existence, he was offered a chance: to turn his pain into the strength necessary to prevent such tragedies. Years later, Alaric fights beside others whose gifts mirror their scars: -Kiara Hadeon, a girl whose flames consumed everything she loved. -Azrael Djall, a warrior who steals souls to silence his grief. -Sabrina Archeron, a haunted soul, lost to her waking nightmares. -Kaiser Amaran, a man cursed to bring ruin to those around him. Bound by trauma and burdened by power, they are the Multiverse's last defense-and its greatest threat. Each seeks redemption. Each hides a truth. And when a forbidden power resurfaces, the Synod will be forced to decide whether they are saviors... or executioners. Because some worlds aren't meant to be saved. They're meant to be rewritten. --------------- ⚠️ Content Advisory ⚠️ Psychological violence, emotional trauma, moral corruption, blood and gore, mental illness, complex relationships, and existential despair.

In a place where danger lurks in every shadow, no one is safe under the watchful eye of the Demon Lord who rules over the beings of the Empyreal City. Uross Kye Raeshon, the infamous ruler and self-proclaimed Emperor, was known across the lands as the man who slaughtered the entire Dameon Clan in his quest for stability and power. He forcibly seized the throne from the former king - his closest friend. Showing no mercy to those loyal to the previous dynasty, Emperor Raeshon spread terror across the nation, wielding his killing spear as he hunted the descendants of a mysterious clan said to possess the power to raise a fallen dynasty from ashes. No one knew if such a clan ever existed, where they might be hiding, or why the Emperor was so desperate to find them. Whispers spread that he sought to erase the clan's existence - to ensure that no remnants of the Dameon Dynasty could ever rise again. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. For a prophecy once spoken during the fall of the Dameon Dynasty begins to stir once more...

In my story, no one feels SAFE, and life has a single purpose: SURVIVAL! The beginning reveals a titanic fight between two kings of nature - the King of the Dry Land and the King of the Seas. One fights in order to cross the seas and augment his territories, the other one want his turbid waters to invade the land. And because they are equally powerful, the line of war is almost always at the shore. A balance that prevents their advancement on the enemy territory. Until one day when the "Legend of the Four Sons" disrupts this balance, and the Kingdom of the Seas invades mercilessly the Kingdom of the Dry Land, breaking it into a number of islands; over time, only four pieces of land are left amidst the seas; on them - four port-towns: Isbynorr, Narzomand, Salgornu, and Zendovir. On the other hand, the Kingdom of the Dry Land sends its explorers to cross the endless seas in search of other territories. Even so, nature seems to be unfair; it has some gifts for some and almost nothing for others... Everything is an adventure, and each event, each character will enchant your eyes. They hope to survive! Do you have any HOPE for something GREAT? Do you feel SAFE? You can answer these questions on your own! QUENCH your curiosity RIGHT NOW! Arrrrrrrgh!Complete

VICIOUS TREACHERY
Book one from TALES OF SINS series ___________________________________ AARAV I watched as she drove away from the cathedral but unlike her words there was no sign of charity or donations around. What else would a person go to the church for? To repent for their sins? To pray for good health and life? Or to express their gratitude? I have visited many holy places in my life but none of those visits were for those reasons. Every time I stepped in front of God, I always had the feeling of frustration crawl into my mind and body. I always had many unanswered questions but no one around me could answer them. Each one of them is biassed, unaware of the truth, how would they answer my questions? How will they justify my rage? So, I decided to find the answers myself. It was all good until I ended up into a deal, the kind that would cost me my sanity. At first i thought i could survive her presence but soon i realised i would only survive in her presence. ___________________________________ MIRA I was all set to live my life freely until the word 'marriage' interrupted my dreams. All my life I had lived for others and finally I had gotten the chance to explore the world. A chance that was again snatched from me. My father was anything but a loving father who would care for his children, he never asked me what I wanted, always commanding and ordering around and I hated my mother who had taught me to shut my mouth when he spoke. Maybe because I was a girl, he never cared for me like he cared for Kartik, my sibling. I was a child who wanted to be loved, seen and a child whom the parents would take pride in yet it didn't matter whatever I did, I was always unnoticed by my parents. Everyone would tell me that I was good at anything I did but I wanted my father to say that he was proud of me and that day, it never came. Now I have mastered the art of going unnoticed but then he came into my life and revived the dying hope in my heart.
