She has no army. No title. No power. Just a name that means dainty and a voice that will shake nations. Muyana was nobody's idea of a hero. A Brooklyn girl from a tribe the world declared extinct. Daughter of a language so ancient and complex that colonial linguists gave up trying to decode it. She burned eggs at a diner, went home to an apartment that smelled like her grandmother's tea, and told herself she'd figure out who she was tomorrow. Then Naya died on a Tuesday. On an ordinary sidewalk. For no reason that the world would ever call sufficient. And tomorrow ran out. Inside her dead best friend's apartment, Muyana finds a binder. One hundred and forty pages. Eight months of research. A case built in green ink by a girl who knew exactly what was wrong with the world and was building something to fight it. On the cover, in Naya's handwriting: This is not a sad story. This is an interrupted one. Someone will finish it. At 2am, alone in her kitchen, Muyana props her phone against a cereal box and presses record. Six million people watch by morning. Governments take notice. And somewhere deep in her blood - in a language nobody alive can fully speak - something that was never truly lost begins to wake up. Wa Laka Tuu. We are not broken. A story about grief that becomes fire. Roots that survive erasure. And one woman who refuses to let the world stay silent about the things it would rather forget. 150 chapters. This is only the beginning.

Layla has just carried the last box into her new apartment. To her, those walls represent the beginning of freedom and the first step toward a flawless life plan: excelling at university and establishing herself in the professional world. Layla runs on goals, coffee, and carefully planned schedules. However, the silence she expected for studying is constantly interrupted by her neighbor, Mauricio. An employee at the stockroom of a local supermarket, Mauricio is the complete opposite of what success manuals describe. He attends the same university as Layla, but he approaches his degree and career without the desperate urgency that consumes her. He lives in the present, dresses without worrying about labels, and finds his truth somewhere between the physical exhaustion of manual labor and the freedom of his mind after work. What begins as casual encounters in the elevator and accidental run-ins across campus soon turns into an unexpected connection. While Layla tries to teach Mauricio how to plan ahead, he ends up showing her that life happens in the spaces between one commitment and the next. During a stage of transition where everything feels new and uncertain, Layla and Mauricio discover that, although they belong to the same world, each of them has their own time to bloom.

A historical horror fiction following a slow descent into unease, where memory, grief, and the weight of history begin to blur. The story builds in a somber, foreboding tone as the past refuses to stay buried, and the present begins to fracture under it.

Torn apart at birth. Marked by magic older than the tide. Destined to break the ocean's curse - or drown trying. Solara rules her stretch of coast like a lazy, sun-kissed queen, drink in hand, golden sigils glowing whenever trouble dares to approach. Pirates, poachers, and predators all know the rule: don't mess with the woman on the beach. Kaelen has spent his life in the northern reefs, blades in hand, fighting in the deep where sunlight never reaches. He thought he was the last of their kind. When fate - and a turquoise-marked blade - brings them together for the first time in 118 years, their power ignites a signal that wakes the Queen of the Deep... and her army of the drowned. The tide has found its heirs. The hunt has begun. #SaltAndBlood #LarissaWrites #EpicFantasy #OceanMagic #SiblingWarriors #SeaWitch #FantasySeries

Some people disappear slowly. They stop answering texts, stop showing up, stop showering, stop eating real meals. They lock themselves in their rooms and call it comfort and try not to think about the people they've already lost. Sunny is very good at disappearing. Alex isn't very good at letting him. Midnight Catalyst is about grief, self-harm, cigarettes, bad coffee, and what happens when someone refuses to stop seeing you, even when you've given them every reason to.

Prologue "Some People Ghost You. Some People Haunt You." There was no eye contact across a crowded metro. No slow-motion scene in a bookstore. No spark over spilt coffee and shared glances. It started how most accidental Gen Z connections do - through a f***ed-up meme page at 2:13 AM. @shayaribeforebed. The post said: "Unsent messages hit harder than breakups." Rahul didn't overthink it. Just replied: "mood." A ping. "fr 🫠" from someone called @sidhixnotyours. He clicked. No blue tick. No aesthetic feed. Just blurry zines, a few story highlights titled 'rage', 'safe', and 'not anymore'. They weren't supposed to talk. But they did. And kept doing it. One night turned into playlists, 3AM voice notes, digital soul-baring, trauma-dumps disguised as 'just venting,' screenshots shared instead of feelings confessed. She said, "Don't catch feelings." He said, "Cool. I don't do that." That was the first lie. They never had a label. Just situationships, unsaid boundaries, close stories, and missed calls that felt too loaded to return. She was never his. But somehow... she's the only one he never moved on from. And now, after a year of read receipts turned ghost towns, Rahul's back. Not for closure. But for truth. Raw, late, selfish maybe - but still honest. This is my story. Or maybe... ours.

Happy Hour

The night of the new moon is a call of blood. The full moon is the scream of the future. Caught within a cursed timeline stands he-a werewolf in whose veins flows the blessing of a savage goddess. The goddess did not bless him; she forged him into a weapon. In the darkness of the new moon, he can travel back into the past, where sins are born. And beneath the crimson glow of the full moon, he steps into the future-where destruction, betrayal, and death lie in wait. On this journey, friends and enemies have no familiar faces, no recognizable identities. The one who places a hand on his shoulder today stands before his chest tomorrow, holding a blood-soaked weapon. Friendship is weakness here; love is a curse. Across the skies of this world flies a terrifying name-the Dragon King. Born of fire and ancient wrath, humans call him a king, gods proclaim him an avatar, and history tries to forget him. But he never forgets. Every breath he takes holds the power to burn cities, every beat of his wings marks the fall of an age. And when the night grows deeper, silence is shattered by the awakening of the Dracula Emperor-an immortal ruler who never sleeps. In his eyes there is no rest, no mercy. Blood is his kingdom, and fear is his law. He is neither friend nor enemy-he merely waits for the moment when the line between man and monster is erased. This novel contains war-where time itself is the weapon, not swords. It holds love-that does not save, but turns into deeper wounds. It spills blood-where every death gives birth to a new curse. This is not just a story. It is a terrifying future, a blood-soaked past, and a present trapped between the cruel laughter of a goddess. Open this book with caution- for some stories are not meant to be read; they hunt you.
