Blackprotagonist Stories

Some things are taken from you. Your family. Your freedom. Your body. And still, you survive-changed, scarred, and angrier than you've ever been in your life. Myra Sanches has already lost more than most people twice her age could bear. At seventeen, she's navigating grief, rage, and a new reality that no one prepared her for-one where the people in power aren't just corrupt, they're catastrophically dangerous. When she finds herself confined inside a facility that has no intention of letting her leave, she discovers she's not the only one. Behind reinforced doors and surveillance cameras are others just like her: a French boy with wings that have never known open sky, a Japanese hacker forced into digital servitude, Korean brothers whose abilities are as volatile as their rage, and twin children who know far more than anyone realizes. What Vardi Corporation built in secret, Myra intends to tear apart publicly. But escaping isn't the hardest part. The hardest part is what comes after-rebuilding trust, surviving the fallout, protecting the people she's come to care about, and deciding what kind of person she wants to be when the world is watching. This is not a story where love saves the day or trauma disappears neatly. It's messy, violent, slow, and real. The Onyx Project is a slow-burn interracial ensemble drama with mature themes, explosive action, and a Black female lead who refuses to be anyone's weapon-or anyone's salvation-except her own. Some fires don't burn out. They spread. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

Tamia Hayes knows betrayal. Framed by her treacherous ex-lover, Darius King, she traded three years in prison for a new life as a quiet, lethal private investigator in Atlanta. She tracks secrets, but she guards her own truth: the controlled rage wrapped in velvet, and the thirst for justice Darius stole from her. Tamia rebuilt herself from the ashes, tougher, sharper, quieter. She's stunning, plus-sized, and moves like a walking warning sign-a true femme fatale grounded in the cultural texture of a modern Black noir. Then the phone rings. Darius King is dead, consumed by a warehouse fire. And the police found her name-Tamia Hayes-written on the wall in his own blood. Now, Tamia is the prime suspect in the high-profile murder of the man who ruined her life. Assigned to the case is Detective Malik Cross, a controlled, ethical cop who shares Tamia's rough history, and whose attraction to her danger is quickly becoming his fatal flaw. To clear her name, Tamia must dive back into the very darkness she fled. But Darius King was a master manipulator, and she quickly realizes his "death" is either the final, spectacular betrayal, or a deadly lure designed to finish what he started. She wants justice. She needs closure. But in the neon-drenched shadow of the city, Tamia's only fatal flaw might be her own deep, desperate desire. Start reading now to enter a world where power, rage, and survival are filtered through a beautiful, lethal Black lens.

UNREACHABLE ​The 226th Soul ​How do you grieve for a love you no longer remember, watched over by a Goddess who cannot speak her own? ​For Sethu, the Eternal Return is a cycle of ghosts. He is the living graveyard for the 225 friends he couldn't save, a man branded by survival and hollowed out by grief. He thought he could endure the weight of the fallen as long as he had Tituba-the unspoken light in his dark world, and the woman he loved with a confession he never had the chance to whisper. ​But when Tituba becomes the 226th soul to slip into the gray, Sethu finally snaps. ​In the sixty-second sanctuary of the afterlife, he faces Lady Death. Hidden behind her dark, impenetrable veil, the Goddess watches the man she has claimed 225 times finally shatter. She is no mere harvester; she is a lover bound by silence, harboring a devotion for Sethu that she can never voice. To speak would be to claim him forever, and to stay silent is to watch him break. ​As the "snap" takes hold, the world of the living pulls Sethu back, but he returns empty. The faces of the 225 have dissolved into mist. The memory of Tituba's smile has vanished. He wakes up with a hole in his chest where her name used to be, haunted by the lingering scent of a Goddess who loves him from behind a veil he can never cross. ​Sethu is searching for a woman he has forgotten, while the woman who cannot forget him watches from the shadows of the end.
