This book is a collection of the thoughts that drift through my mind and the emotions that echo in my heart. Each poem is a moment - sometimes quiet, sometimes loud - shaped by love, loss, hope, and everything in between. These words are pieces of me, written in the moments when silence spoke the loudest. If you've ever felt too much or nothing at all, maybe you'll find yourself in these pages.

In the darkest chapter of the Bight of Biafra, when men were sold like yams and the white ships swallowed nations whole, one captive refused to be counted. Given only a number-No. 47-he possessed no gold, no weapons, no allies. He possessed only a way of seeing. While others traded their backs for survival, he traded his mind. While others fought the system from the front and were crushed, he moved beneath it, invisible, inevitable, reshaping the world with nothing but ideas. He solved a captain's pain and gained his ear. He gathered whispers and built an intelligence no governor could escape. He turned rotting yams into a fortune and a network of servants into an army. He did not break chains with force-he made the chains irrelevant. The colonizers thought they owned a slave. They never saw the shadow coiling around their feet. By the time they understood, it was too late. The pilots who guided every ship through the deadly sandbars answered to him. The cooks who prepared their meals reported to him. The records that proved their lies were kept by him. And when the governor finally moved to arrest him, he discovered that the boy he once called a number had become a force he could not touch, could not outthink, could not defeat-a man the Africans called The Son of the Coast, and the colonizers feared as a god. The Shadow That Bought the Masters is a parable told in the ancient voice of the flame tree, where an elder speaks to four hundred young souls from across the world. It is not a history. It is a manual disguised as a myth. It teaches the laws of creative currency: that a problem is a door, that value is a state not a quantity, that information is the highest wealth, and that true power does not announce itself-it arranges the world so quietly that even the masters do not know they are being moved.

This isn't for everyone. It isn't your classic action flick, and it's not even "post-apocalyptic" in any conventional sense. This is post-soul. To those searching for meaning, to those who once walked alone through the void, taking shortcuts across the ruins of their own lives-welcome home. In a world where nuclear ashes have covered the remnants of humanity, war has become an endless struggle for survival. But this novel is more than a chronicle of resistance. It is a philosophical reimagining of the Terminator myth, where the backdrop of a classic action movie meets the metaphysical depth of Andrei Tarkovsky and the utopian humanism of Ivan Efremov. At the heart of the story is Wei Lin, a man burdened with the complexes of our world, thrust into the epicenter of the conflict by the will of a mysterious "man in white." Alongside the legendary John Connor and the enigmatic Issa, he embarks on a journey where the enemy is not just cold metal, but internal emptiness. This is a story about what remains of a human when they grow tired of being human, and whether artificial intelligence can learn to feel pain, appreciate ballet, and believe in freedom. The heroes must decide: destroy the old world or risk everything to give the future a chance to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

In a world where magic and martial power collide, only a few are born with the power of Kai-an ancient source of power from within souls. Orian Melner, once a normal boy, now stands at the center of a storm he never asked for. With the legendary Sun and Moon Kai awakened within him, and trained by the enigmatic Grand Master Merlin, Orian embarks on a journey to master the art of the sword, unlocking the feared and revered blade resonance technique and mastering different forms of combat to become the strongest. But power never comes without cost. Shadowy enemies stir, legendary warriors rise, and the world teeters on the edge of chaos. As the mysterious REAPER ASSOCIATION kills from the shadows and ancient cores choose their champions, Orian must forge his path-to become the one destined to wield the ECLIPSE BLADE and change the fate of the world forever. This is the tale of loss, power, destiny-and the rise of the Ultimate Warrior. I hope you will enjoy this story of mine😋 Story by Leo Sibusiso Phiri

Rumblings of a rebellion begin to shake Zeus' throne... Zeus, King of the Gods, has crushed insurgence before. Eons ago, his wife Hera rebelled against him and was punished cruelly. Since then, the gods have quietly subjected to his rule. But now whispers of rebellion are beginning to stir again, and this time from a source that Zeus could never have anticipated... Percy Jackson is missing and Camp Half-Blood is in chaos... A rampaging metallic dragon is on the loose, plants are growing out of control, and three new demigods have arrived at camp. Then, to make matters worse, the goddess Hera announces that Demeter has gone missing, and issues a quest to find her. She chooses Atalanta Keïta, along with the three newbies. For Atalanta, it's pretty much a death sentence. Quests are notoriously deadly, and she's worried that one of the new demigods might be a traitor. But she's determined to see it through, and come back alive. Jason Grace is missing and the loss of their leader has made Camp Jupiter vulnerable... But Naolin Arreda sees the empty void as an opportunity. With a chance to finally prove themself, they sign up to go on a quest to find the deity of Death with two barely-trained demigods and one weirdo. It may seem hopeless but Naolin is prepared to do whatever it takes to succeed and claim their rightful place as Praetor. On Olympus, a rebellion is taking place, and a new enemy is arising. As demigods are thrown into the centre of the conflict, Atalanta and Naolin must find their place-and themselves- in a constantly changing world. Thank you @clairetie for the stunning cover! Based off Heroes of Olympus but with changes! Piper McClean x OC Leo Valdez x OC The Lost Hero - Battle of Olympus Trigger warnings included at the start of each chapter.

Lieve Reen never expected that falling asleep would change her life forever. One moment she was ordinary, the next she awakened inside Domus, a mysterious fortress known as the home of the Chosen. Within its towering walls, gifted children are trained to protect something from the world. But Lieve is different. She is the only one chosen by the House of Death. As she struggles to understand her powers, Lieve found them, children bound by an ancient prophecy. They are young, unprepared, and burdened with a destiny far greater than themselves. How can mere children save a world already falling apart? What no one knows is that Domus is more than an academy. It is a prison. Hidden beneath its halls lies the seal of Somnius, an ancient force of destruction kept locked away through the magic woven into the school itself. Every lesson, every House, every rule exists for one purpose, to keep Somnius asleep. But seals weaken with time. And the prophecy foretells the arrival of the Deathborn, the last descendant of Mori's bloodline. Her awakening marks the beginning of the sixteenth cycle, the moment Somnius begins to stir once more. Now Lieve must uncover the truth before Domus becomes the very thing it was built to prevent. Because if the seal breaks, Somnius will make the whole world fall asleep in the palm of his hand.
