In the ancient city of Morogoro, tradition was law, and law was merciless. Any child born different-disabled, a twin, or out of wedlock-was condemned to the "fire of God," a cruel ritual that smothered innocence in ashes.

But when triplets were born, fate refused to bow to fear. Their mother's defiance cost her life, yet hope stirred in the heart of a barren widow who claimed the children as her own. Forced into exile, she carried them across mountains and plains, raising them in secret where kindness, not cruelty, shaped their souls.

Amara, gifted with artistry and vision.
Kofi, attuned to nature's wisdom.
Sefu, fierce in spirit and unyielding in courage.

Together, they grew into more than children-they became destiny's answer. When a storm reveals their hidden powers, the triplets find themselves standing between two worlds: one that fears their magic, and one that desperately needs it.

Bound by love yet haunted by the shadows of Morogoro, they must decide-will they run from who they are, or rise to become what the ancients once foretold?

A tale of sacrifice, resilience, and forbidden power, The Three Triplets weaves African myth and human struggle into an unforgettable epic of survival and hope.All Rights Reserved

Irresistible Sin... by Aynahha

Eva never thought her father's decision to send her to live with her uncle Damien for college would turn her world upside down. The distance from home seemed ideal at first-until she stepped into Damien's house and realized how dangerously close she would be to the one man who had always been a constant in her life. Damien, a successful and charismatic businessman, has always seen Eva as family-but that was before she grew into a stunning, independent woman. Now, every glance, every touch between them feels charged with an electric tension neither can deny. Forbidden desire simmers beneath the surface, threatening to consume them both. As the days pass, their attraction intensifies in ways that neither can control. What starts with heated glances and lingering moments quickly escalates into something far more dangerous. Torn between guilt and longing, they find themselves unable to resist the burning desire pulling them closer. Each stolen moment feels like a sin, but it's one they can't walk away from. Caught in a web of passion, secrecy, and a love that defies everything they've ever known, Eva and Damien must face the inevitable question: Can they fight the pull of their irresistible desire, or will they surrender to it, no matter the cost?

He was forbidden magic wrapped in a mortal body. She was the spark that could burn him or save him. Of Fire and Shadow - Series Summary In a distant future, humanity has lost what once made it human. Souls are hollow. Emotions erased. The ancient walls dividing realms of Light (the Fae) and Shadow (the Demons) have collapsed, fusing time, worlds, and species into one fractured existence. To maintain control, the High Council outlawed the most dangerous force of all - feeling. Love, passion, grief, and joy are forbidden, declared the root of chaos that once ignited wars among realms. Peace was purchased through emptiness. Survival meant never truly living. But fate stirs in the gray between worlds. A woman named Samira, believing herself human, discovers she is the last royal of the Fae - a hidden ember of emotion in a world gone cold. When she crosses paths with Xalen, the ruthless King of Shadows, their connection awakens something long buried: desire, compassion, and the pulse of creation itself. Their forbidden love becomes the spark of rebellion - a rising storm to reclaim the right to feel, to live, and to love again. And once the soul of the world is reignited... nothing will ever be the same.

Little Devil's Don't Fly by Nixie626

(COMPLTED) Between Heaven and Hell, there's a girl who was never meant to exist. Sixteen-year-old Avery Quinn hides her black wings beneath worn jackets and defiance. Born half-devil, half-angel, she's hunted by both realms - a living contradiction who could tip the balance between light and shadow. When a failed exorcism exposes her powers, Avery is dragged into a world of fallen angels, celestial hunters, and forbidden truths buried in ash. Her only ally is Lucien Vale, an exiled devil with a smile sharp enough to cut and secrets older than time. He offers to teach her control - but his lessons come with a price, and his gaze feels far too human for someone damned. As Heaven's perfect soldier Seraphina Dae closes in, and Avery's brother searches for the sister the world forgot, the fragile line between good and evil begins to crumble. Fire answers her call, shadows obey her heart, and every choice she makes burns the sky a little brighter. Because maybe devils don't fly... But they fall beautifully.

Under His Name|18+ by mewxnderlxst

"Rowan" "I told you not to call me that." His voice is low, dangerous. Lea's back hits the wall, but her eyes stay on his. "Why?" she whispers. Nico leans in, caging her in with one hand. His lips hover over hers, not touching. "Because Rowan loved you." His other hand slips to her throat, just barely grazing. "And I don't want to remember what it felt like to be him." But he kisses her anyway. And it's not soft. Lea Broadway has spent her whole life running-from love, from herself, and most of all, from the boy who never chose her. Rowan Reid was once her everything-until he disappeared and came back as someone else: untouchable, dominant, dangerously magnetic Nico Reid. Years later, fate throws them back together. She's not the girl who waited. He's not the boy she loved. But some names still burn. And some touches never lose their heat. A story of obsession, old wounds, and the kind of slow burn that doesn't just scorch-it destroys. He left as Rowan. He returned as Nico. And now... she's his to break. First book - 2025
