Edmond Castagne is the Imperial Heir, banished from his own realm, confined to exile. But the sudden visit of a stranger from America might mean his triumphant return to the throne... or his  ultimate fall. 

This short story was meant as a sequel to the famous "Repairer of Reputations" tale from "The King in Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers, which now is part of the Cthulhu Mythos. It was originally published at the Non Binary Review e-zine in 2015. It does not require the previous reading of that tale, but the experience might feel more complete.All Rights Reserved

listen to your heart // dnf // DISCONTINUED by GeoguessMe

DISCONTINUED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. An angsty, epic, enemies to lovers/ forbidden love story. Dream grew up as a commoner in a foster home for sixteen years. When his birth parents die, Dream's life is turned upside down-he is now King. He is inexperienced and sent to an allied Kingdom to learn how to rule. There, he meets Prince George, an experienced, emotionally closed off, stubborn ruler who wants nothing to do with Dream. As both rulers fall victim to centuries of unchanged laws/stigmas, usurpers, and assassination attempts, they try to find the balance between listening to their duty to their Kingdoms and the duty to their hearts. Their story unravels itself through a series of flashbacks as each memory resurfaces years later in Dream's mind. Inspo: Listen To Your Heart by Roxette (song) (I can't figure out how to make the summary more interesting without spoiling the whole plot) -------------------------- Cover photo found on Pinterest. I added the title and red tint.

Whispers of Nowhere by RebelDynasty

**AVAILABLE ON AMAZON** (Book One in the Whispers of Nowhere trilogy) When Gwen's father gets home late from work, it's just another typical night for the museum curator's daughter. Still, there's something strange about the artifacts he's brought home this time, something so unique that she can't help but touch them. In a blinding flash, the artifacts vanish, and a mysterious man appears in their place. Only he's not a man at all. Forneus is a daemon, an intermediary between gods and man-and the guardian of the very artifacts Gwen has just unwittingly sent back to their places of origin around the globe. Gwen doesn't have time to absorb this before a new figure emerges: Phenex, the human-personification of the legendary bird, himself. The next thing she knows, she's being whisked away from the comfort of her home into a world beyond her wildest imaginings. When she thinks things couldn't possibly get any more complicated, she's proven wrong. Because those bizarre artifacts? They were protective seals to a place called Nowhere; a prison realm created by the gods to contain all of the malevolent forces Gwen has only heard about in bedtime stories. Now those very same forces are on the rampage, intent on revenge against the gods whom imprisoned them-and they don't care who else gets hurt along the way. Possessing innate powers she can't even begin to understand, it is up to Gwen and her two mysterious allies to reclaim the lost artifacts before someone far more sinister does...
