In the queendom of Great Iris, only extraordinary children grow up to become Treasures. Treasures are educated by the church to become "Vessels of Pleasure." Treasures are spoiled, and pampered and honored. Treasures have very special gifts, supposedly endowed upon them by saints. Treasures are the property of the Queen. Treasures are traded among the aristocracy so that a lucky few might know a variety of Tresured flesh. Bixidore Braithwaite is a young Treasure caught in a nexus of political intrigue and changing times. Instead of the vapid and luxurious future he'd been taught to expect, he is being forced to grow beyond his destiny. He is quickly becoming too smart, too informed, too opinionated to be anyone's Treasure. He is on his way to becoming The Prince of Mists and Clouds.

My Hitwoman
"I finally passed by the last alley before the one my apartment was situated on, when suddently my heart stopped. My body freezed and my ears were ringing from the loud sound of the end. The smell of death, fear and blood. It all happened so soon, too soon. She was just standing there watching as the life was flowing out of the guy's body that was now laying on the cold concrete, lifeless. Her tall figure... so powerful, confident. I watched everything wide eyed and then, the world had stopped. Her head suddently turned towards me and, oh my God. I could feel those sharp, green eyes burning a hole right through my skull in the darkness. I held my breath and quickly hid behind the wall but it was too late. I was foolish. I should've ran away." ...

They couldn't be more different. But fate has a twisted way of pulling opposites together. What happens when light collides with shadow? Read to find out :)Complete
Ephemeral
"In a multitude of miracles, you'll always come back, like the wide, gaping mouth of a gift horse, you'll always come back but never, never again as yourself." Soulmate. The romanticized concept of belonging to someone is not novel nor fictional. Some people have Lady Luck on their side that they get to spend a seemingly eternal journey with their fated someone. However, others don't have that luxury. Some of them have waited lifetimes just to catch a glimpse of that outlandish phenomenon where their souls would sing the hymn of love. The juxtaposition of the two abovementioned fates couldn't be more clearer with Zivry Augh Sanders and Yvonne Christopher Niles. Zivry Augh Sanders wants to transcend the limitations of time. Yvonne Christopher Niles wants to stop time, even for a little while. Their contrasting views are beyond apparent that it's a miracle that their worlds collide. In an epic spin of whims, they get what they wish. However, as what Rumpelstiltskin once said: magic comes with a price. Are they willing to pay for it? In a blink of an eye, their epic fairytale turns into something inconceivable. This time, time itself turns the table and puts them into a test. Are they really supposed to be each other's eternal soulmates? Or are they just parallel souls doomed to meet and to be forever apart? - Completed: 04/07/20 Cover design by: @Ishanwadhwa123Complete
