"In a world where pain is the only absolute and survival is a daily war, Sayuna seeks a reckoning." 13th Century Japan. The Mongol invasion has turned the island of Tsushima into a desolate wasteland of mud, iron, and unyielding cold. Sayuna, a master archer whose life was reduced to ash in the flames of her village, lives for only one purpose: to find the commander known as Harun and end his life. But the path of vengeance is a slow death. Forced into a grim alliance with Kaishin, a battle-worn, cynical swordsman whose spirit is as scarred as his blade, she must navigate a landscape where every wound is felt with terrifying clarity and every night is a fight against exhaustion. As they carve their way through the ranks of the invaders, a strange sensation begins to take hold. Faded echoes of lives that feel like their own, yet aren't. Flashes of places that shouldn't exist. And high above, a single, unwavering star that burns with a cold, unnatural light, indifferent to the suffering below. On this island, death seems like a beginning rather than an end, and the longer they stay, the more they risk losing their true selves to the shadows. Yuna and Kai must reach their target before their own memories betray them and they become permanent parts of this brutal world. - Inspired by the game "Ghost of Tsushima"

Ten years after a nameless massacre, the city remembers only blood-not the truth. Ruan Lanzhu, an FBI captain wearing the mask of a teacher, meets Ling Jiushi, the lone survivor who was never allowed to remain human. From the moment their eyes meet, pain becomes a language only they can hear. Wounds echo across their bodies. Nightmares bleed from one heart into another. Hunter and prey, bound by an invisible chain forged in suffering. They are meant to destroy each other. Instead, they fall-hard, desperate, and without mercy. And when love finally takes root where pain once lived, the chain shatters... leaving behind a life born from everything that tried to break them.

Rina'tey te Peylak'ite was born above the clouds, raised among the Windtraders where home was not a place-but the sky itself. As the daughter of the Tlalim Clan's Olo'eyktan and Tsahík, her life is one of open air, distant horizons, and caravans that carry stories between worlds. But when the Mangkwan descend upon the caravan in fire and steel, Rina'tey is torn from everything she has ever known. Separated from her clan and believing her parents dead, she escapes with Lo'ak, Kiri, Tuk, and Spider, forced to survive in a world of forests and seas while carrying the ashes of the sky inside her chest. Haunted by loss, bound by new family, and hunted by those who shattered her past, Rina'tey must learn who she is without the winds that raised her-and what it truly means to belong. A story of grief, flight, found family, and the long way home.

Every heart holds a story, and every story leaves a weight behind. The Weight We Carry is a living collection - written in real time, in the middle of survival, burnout, healing, and trying again anyway. These poems come from the spaces between responsibilities: grocery aisles, late nights, applications, shifts, side hustles, and the quiet moments when everything finally catches up. This collection explores the ache of memory, the exhaustion of caring too much, the frustration of broken systems, and the complicated reality of choosing to help when it costs you something. There is grief here, and anger, and dark humor. There is healing, but it is not linear. Hope shows up when it can, but it doesn't pretend to fix everything. Through raw, unfiltered verses, The Weight We Carry holds space for the people who keep going without applause - the helpers, the burned out, the ones trying to build something better while still carrying their own survival on their backs. These poems are for anyone who has felt the weight of the world press down and kept moving anyway. Not because it was easy. But because stopping was never really an option.

Ophelia Blue has lived a somewhat normal life until it came crashing down during her last year of senior. Her friends dumped her, her ex broke up with her, and everyone she knows is living their best life; travelling, owning lavish apartments and cars while she is cooped up in her mother's small apartment that they had just received an eviction notice to. So when she sees a job application online to a one-week substitute teaching job with a high-paying salary, she sees it as a blessing. Even though her mother is against the idea of her relocating to a faraway town she has never heard of, Ophelia assures her multiple times that it's just 7 days. Strange things begin to unveil almost immediately. Ophelia finds people humming outside her home. The people follow strict rules without question. And everyone worships a man known as Pastor Saant - the figure of authority who decides who is rewarded and who is punished. Ophelia tells herself she only needs to survive 7 days, get her pay check and go. As the days pass, she uncovers the hidden secrets about the town and finds her trust caught between two guys; Kiwon - notoriously rebellious and mysterious student, and Diesel - charmingly volatile and powerful business man. Then finally, seven days pass. Then... eight... Because the town won't let her leave. © 2026, zinabunni

After Harriet loses her husband on a solo Atlantic crossing, she starts a new life in France, renovating a medieval stone Priory and then letting it to holidaymakers. In England, Sir Hector, a bastion of British Banking born with a golden egg, not a mere silver spoon is approaching retirement. He finds diaries in one of his attics written by his female ancestors. He decides to publish them. Raunchy and licentious, they hit the No. 1 spot for ten weeks, earning him a spot on the Michael Parkinson Show.

In France, Harriet has adventures with her guests, romance with an old flame and, guiltily, an affair with the local count. Through thick and thin, Harriet is supported by her children; her brother Freddie and his boyfriend; and her great friend Aoife, who is as Irish and free-living as Harriet is restrained and correct. Hector buys a vineyard in France for his retirement and fosters an attachment to Harriet. Hector's social milieu is formed of his aristocratic friends, Aunt Tilly and his Swedish girlfriend with her thirteen Siamese cats. His alcoholic chef provides suspense whilst Jane, his no-nonsense Sloane Ranger PA and two Scottish spinsters are the source of much humour resulting from their sexual naivety, revealed when they are hired to reply to the vast sacks of often explicit fan mail sent to Sir Hector. From the skeletons of wartime German officers discovered under the local chateau to the chef's death on a superyacht and a thwarted terrorist attack - life in France is never dull.

Lily Malen was never meant to be seen. She was trained to obey without question. To smile on command. To lie still and survive the kind of hell that strips a girl of her name, her past, her voice. She was property. Invisible. Disposable. Until she ended up in his house. Adrian Rossetti lives in a world of cold steel and quieter sins-where power is currency, loyalty is bought in blood, and monsters wear silk ties. At twenty-two, he's already carved his name into the underworld with bone-deep precision. Emotionless. Untouchable. Absolute. Lily is a mistake. One the House should have buried. But Adrian sees her. And the moment he does, he doesn't want to let her go. Not to save her. To destroy her. To peel back the pretty, obedient layers and see what she looks like when she breaks. To ruin the untouched thing fate dropped in his lap just to see if she bleeds differently. But Lily is softer than anyone he's known. And somehow, softer is worse. Because she isn't just breaking beneath him-she's making him feel. And Adrian Rossetti does not feel. He punishes. He controls. He owns. And if he's not careful, Lily Malen might ruin him first.
