His Lost Boys serve as his troops and have been his only company for the last millennium. Until his shadow brought a girl to Neverland, by the name of Wendy Darling. But she's not the one this story's about. Why? It's simple. Because she's dead. She broke Peter's heart, so he killed her. Only he and the Lost Boys know what happened the night Wendy disappeared, and Peter means to take the secret to his grave, assuming he ever dies, of course. If the Lost Boys know what's good for them, they will too. None of the other creatures on the island have any idea of what became of the one girl who had ever set foot on Neverland. However, what at first seems to be a siren with a know-it-all attitude threatens to change all that. She knows exactly why Peter's heart is shattered. But what she wants to do with that information is, for the very first time, is absolutely unclear to Peter. That doesn't sit well with the Ruler of Neverland. And whatever doesn't sit well with Peter, he either figures it out or kills it. The problem is, he can't seem to manage to do the first option, and for some reason, can't bring himself to do the second. --- Dea: Goddess [Latin]

BEHIND THE NARROW STREET by triniwriter

This is a love story that begins in 1834, on the West Indian island of Trinidad. A young boy is saved by a slave, from a burning plantation house that was deliberately set ablaze. The story connects a brothel to US troops on their way to the continent during the Second World War. The island was the home for three American bases because of its strategically important position to the South America trade routes and the valuable oil fields in the south of the country. US serviceman, Robert, falls in love with a young prostitute, Anna, and together they begin to discover their distant backgrounds are intertwined. The spirit world, through their love, will heal a horrific past. In 1994 Robert's grandson, Peter, living in the US, experiences a deep spiritual call from his grandfather who disappeared in Trinidad 1944. The continuous nightmare of a burning plantation house haunt him and Peter believes these are connected to his grandfather's disappearance. This is made somewhat evident with the contents of an old, rusty tin box he finds in the attic including his grandfather's army dog tags and a black and white photograph of a beautiful woman. On the back of the photograph is written the name Anna. Peter travels to Trinidad, finding the now aged Anna who slowly unravels the story that begins and ends in a graveyard behind a narrow street. This story reveals a simple truth: the present cannot be fulfilled until the past has been healed.

CILEUNCANG by TekadPangestu

In the midst of the mystical realms and magical traditions of Sunda, Cileuncang invites readers into a world brimming with enigmas, mysteries, and the secrets of the supernatural realms of Nusantara. This story revolves around Rangga and Silvi, two souls bound not only by love but also by a great destiny that stretches between the human world and the spiritual dimension. When Rangga becomes trapped in Brekasan, a supernatural realm inhabited by mystical beings such as the Ipri, Danawa, Ririwa, and Bancala, he faces the dual challenge of survival and maintaining the balance between the human and supernatural dimensions. Meanwhile, Silvi, still in the real world, refuses to stand idly by. Driven by profound love and unwavering determination, she devises a grand plan that will change her life forever. The novel unveils the often-overlooked Sundanese mythology, including the legend of Ambar's child playing in puddles during the rain, the Cileuncang chant capable of unveiling supernatural veils, and the intricate connection between humans and the spiritual realm adorned with traditional teachings and religious values. With its narrative rich in cultural elements, Cileuncang is not only a tale of supernatural adventure but also a profound exploration of the traditions and philosophies of the magical and meaningful Sundanese heritage. Can Rangga and Silvi overcome the treacherous challenges of the spiritual realm and reunite their love separated by different dimensions? Or will they be consumed by the whirlwind of mysteries passed down by their ancestors? Unleash your imagination into a world unlike anything you've ever seen before-Cileuncang is a journey into the mesmerizing mystical treasures of Nusantara... *** This work does not get much appreciation in my country. Hopefully foreign readers will be more to support this story. Thanks ^^v
