"I am so fucking tired of you walking away from me" Oryon growled menacingly into my ear and picked me up with a steely arm around my waist, pulling me into the alleyway to cross into the back parking lot. Immediately, I dug my nails into his wrists to try and get him off me, "Oryon! I'm serious, get the fuck off me" He twisted me around and pinned me against the brick wall, the rainy wall coated my back in wetness. Oryon spread my legs apart and made me put them around his waist. "Ugh, stop!" I begged but he ignited my senses, silencing me with a brutal kiss to my mouth. I resisted, pushing at his chest but his tongue fought with mine and won. He won, he won, I fell. I fought it, I didn't fight enough. ............................................................................... An heiress from Spain and an emerald-mine owner from Greece meet in an underground club, entranced with eachother, The spoiled Xiomara Arquilla makes him crave her.

He wants her skin, she wants to escape from an arranged marriage. Will this tale end in more tragedy than it began with? In a world of deceit and corruption, can there possibly exist some space for true love?

I have sat often in front of the computer, and stared long at the screen without ever writing a word. The synopsis for this project has haunted me since the first person asked me "So, what is it about?", and to this day I have never been able to deliver a straight answer. This book is about a number of things, many of which do not fit evenly into a succinct description. I have tried to make them fit and have found the resulting descriptions ill-representing and dull. Thus, I have decided to go without a description. This book will fade into obscurity no matter what I put here, so I might as well write what's really important. Winter in a city is an especially punishing time. This book comes out of my late nights and early mornings riding the train, and my looking at the window and being able to make out nothing but the blur of the glass. From the outside it may look dead, but certain people know that the inner workings of a city are a true marvel to behold. In writing this, I have tried to capture that marvel and deliver it to you, the reader. This is a book about a city and the people within it. The rest is up for you to read, if you so choose. Pyre lives on whether you experience it or not. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A science-fiction novel, updated whenever there is new material to post. The last cover was AI generated, so I spent some time making a crude cover of my own. For the sake of Wattpad I have divided up the chapters into parts, so everything under "The Glow" is Chapter 1 and so on. If you have read this far into the description, I thank you; you've made it further than mostly everyone before you. I hope you stick around. ⠀⠀

From the novel's back cover blurb... 'I'm not of your world, but I had a front-row seat to a little-known drama that nearly brought about your demise. Truth be told, I've actually been wanting to tell you about this saga for some time. It's a short tale, relatively speaking. It does, though, begin before the birth of Christ. There's a man named Quintus at the heart of it. First, he was a Roman Centurion, that is until he ended up in China, where he learned a thing or two from an old Taoist. Fast forward to today, and he still walks among you. You should know what he did through history wasn't done for himself; it was done for you, and it was done in the face of the greatest evil known to mankind.'
