PS: I do use AI for grammar and spelling but it is still my story and idea and I still have my own creative direction I did so it is easier for you to be able to read ... A boy wakes up in a broken world, his backpack scattered, his heart heavy with questions. The sky feels too quiet, the shadows too close. Nothing looks familiar-except the weight of betrayal already burning inside him. He doesn't know who to trust. He doesn't even know if the light that saved him is real... or just another lie. But one thing is clear: the world is falling apart, and he's the only one still standing. In a place where hope is shattered and family cuts deeper than enemies, survival isn't enough-you have to fight to keep your soul.

Emily Black was never meant to be just another rich girl. After losing her family and discovering the dark truth about their past, her life changes forever. Instead of hiding, she chooses to fight.

From a helpless girl to a fearless queen, this is her story of strength, revenge, and power. But as her enemies grow stronger and love becomes a risky game, one question remains: Can Emily stay on top or will her rise become her downfall?

But when a secret investigator reveals they were killed by order of The Raze Family - a brutal syndicate with bloodstained power - Selena does the unthinkable: she joins them. Under a new identity, she rises through the ranks with one mission-find out who gave the order... and end them. But when she's assigned to a high-risk job with Max Callahan, a veteran enforcer known for his unwavering loyalty and deadly skill, everything changes. He's cold. Controlled. Lethal. And she needs his trust to get closer to the truth. What she doesn't know is that Max holds the darkest piece of her past-the one secret that could destroy them both. And when blood, love, and vengeance collide... Only one thing is certain: someone's heart won't make it out alive.

Shadows whisper her name, enemies rise from forgotten myths, and mortals with secrets of their own are drawn into her orbit. Bound to a ruthless assassin who trusts no one, a golden boy with power he doesn't understand, and a circle of allies whose loyalty is never certain, Mara must fight not only the monsters stalking the city-but the fracture spreading through her own flame. Desire and betrayal walk hand in hand. Every choice costs blood. And in the end, the greatest threat may not be the darkness waiting in the shadows... but the god within her, desperate to break free.

"Suddenly, I found our faces so close together, I could feel his warm breath caressing my face.

I know it's not at its best, but I'm working on it... "Wow, I am so hooked!" "You captivated me from the start..." "The storyline seems very original..." The above were just a few of the comments I received... :) As you can tell, this is also a romance as well as paranormal/fantasy :) hehe Laura__Zalenga owns the right to the picture in the cover...

In a world where loyalty is currency and silence is survival, Zoe struggles quietly to stay afloat. Beneath her gentle smiles and whispered apologies is a girl fighting not to disappear. She feels like a ghost in her own life-caught between who she's supposed to be and the nagging sense that something is deeply wrong. Whispers swirl through the city streets. Secrets hide around every corner. The people around her play games she doesn't fully understand-yet she's closer to them than she knows. Seventeen, maybe eighteen. Old enough to survive alone, young enough to feel the weight pressing her down. Most days, she drags herself through the motions: clock in. Get scolded. Scrape together rent. Repeat. Hope is scarce. Trust scarcer. Yet beneath her guarded silence, she still dreams. What keeps her going? A memory, faint but burning-her mother, who saw light where no one else did. Maybe it's spite. Maybe it's the aching need to break free from a cycle that's gnawed at her for as long as she can remember. Her world is messy, tangled with politics and secrets of powerful families-some connections she doesn't even realize yet. Some people are kind. Some are cruel. Some... far more than they seem. And Zoe? She's just trying to breathe, carving a sliver of space for herself, one defiant step at a time. Because if she stops, even for a moment... everything she's fought for could slip away. And no one will wait for her to rise again.
