"You little temptress! Who do you think you are? You're just a breeder I purchased to bear my child. You belong to me—mine to look at, not anyone else.” Rein never imagined her life could unravel so suddenly. One moment, she was planning a surprise birthday gift for the man she loved, dreaming about their future together. The next, she was running out in tears after catching him in bed with another woman. Distraught and heartbroken, she fled—only to get into a devastating accident. But she didn’t wake up in a hospital. Instead, Rein opened her eyes in a strange, dream-like world. A world she had seen before—in a hauntingly vivid dream. Here, she was no ordinary girl. She was a princess. Or she had been, before the kingdom was torn apart by war. Driven by revenge, the princess ventured deep into enemy territory—only to be captured and sold at a dark auction. —not as royalty, but as a High Breeder, a woman with the rarest fertility in the land. Unknowingly, five powerful Alpha brothers placed the winning bet. Now trapped in a gilded cage, Rein finds herself in the grip of five very different men: The cold, commanding eldest who values only heirs. The playful but sly second brother. The third—an enemy prince with a smile that never reaches his eyes. And the twins—the fourth and fifth—always eager to win her favor, her partners in crime. “She’s interesting,” one murmured. “Let’s see how long the fire in her eyes lasts.” In this strange world where her worth is tied to her body, Rein must fight to reclaim her identity. She knows how to love—but not under chains. She knows how to give—but not by force. Betrayed once before, she refuses to bow again. She may have entered broken, but she will rise as something else entirely. She will not be owned.

He kissed me once and disappeared. Now he wants to protect me—but who will protect me from him? Janica’s world came crashing down when she lost her mother to cancer, leaving her with nothing but a low-paying job and mounting bills. No family, no support—just a hollow existence. She’s long since given up on love, convinced it’s a luxury she can’t afford. Then, Jason stepped into her life. Dark, powerful, and dangerously charming, he offered her comfort when she needed it most. He kissed her, promised he wouldn’t leave, and then disappeared without a trace—leaving her heartbroken and alone, with only a memory of a man who had once been her anchor. Now, Jason’s back—and he’s determined to make things right. But his return isn’t just about rekindling their love. He’s a man marked by secrets, betrayal, and enemies that would stop at nothing to tear them apart. Jason will do whatever it takes to protect Janica, even if it means putting himself in harm’s way. But as the shadows of his past close in, Janica starts to wonder: can she trust him again, or is his love just another dangerous game? Betrayed once, can she ever truly heal from the wounds he left behind? Or will their love break her completely? As danger surrounds them and the line between protector and prisoner blurs, Janica is forced to confront her deepest fears—and the truth about the man she thought she knew.

The city’s underworld lives in fear of Vesper — a ruthless assassin who strikes only at midnight, leaving behind a single blade engraved with the letter ‘V’ embedded in the victim’s heart. Feared for their strength and precision, Vesper is believed to be a man — a shadow no one dares to cross. For Valerio Moretti, Vesper’s name is more than just a whispered legend. Years ago, the elusive killer claimed his grandfather’s life, leaving a scar Valerio has never forgotten. Now, as rumors of Vesper’s return spread, Valerio knows one thing — the assassin is closing in. Meanwhile, Leona Vale, a bubbly newcomer with an infectious smile, couldn’t be more out of place in Valerio’s violent world. Soft-hearted, a little clumsy, and hopelessly naive, Leona is the least likely person to survive the chaos of the criminal underworld — yet somehow, she does. Known more for spilling drinks than holding her ground, she’s quickly dismissed as a harmless bystander. But as bodies begin to fall and threats draw closer, Valerio faces a race against time to unmask the assassin stalking his empire — before Vesper strikes again. In a world ruled by shadows and blood, some threats hide in plain sight — and the deadliest ones leave no trace at all.

“I beg you, Mia. Please tell me that this child is mine,” Henry begged as he looked at the woman holding the little boy in her arms. But, just as he reached forward to hug her— “Dear brother, just what do you think you are doing? Why are you trying to hug my wife and son?” Lucas stepped in between the two with a cheeky smile on his lips. He pointed to the boy and said, “Look carefully; he is my son.” Mia snorted upon hearing the two men fighting over her son. She hugged the little boy and smiled politely, “Last I remember, I was the one who gave birth to him. So carry on with your games, boys.” Mia Wills never knew how feeble life truly was until she lost everything in a matter of just a few hours. Seventy-two hours ago, she was a happily married woman who was about to head for her honeymoon. But seventy-two hours later, she met with her husband’s cold eyes, who asked her to divorce him. An accident ripped Mia’s world apart. Not only did it nearly take her life, it also took away Henry Holman’s memories. Her newly married husband. With more than three years of memories gone, Henry no longer remembered pursuing Mia and marrying her out of love. Instead, he believed the lies of his first love and girlfriend, Jamie Hudson, who spun a story where she was chased away by Mia, who took her place and married Henry by lying to him. And what did Henry do after listening to her lies? He demanded a divorce, chasing Mia away from his life. But how could Mia let go? She believed that as long as she persisted, Henry would remember her one day. But with the continuous torment and humiliation for months, including watching her husband bring his mistress to their wedding house, Mia could no longer hold on. She signed the divorce papers and left. She believed that with the divorce, she and Henry would never cross paths again. That was until Jamie’s callous scheme dragged her back not only in front of Henry but also in the bed of his half brother, Lucas Holman. Lucas Holman, the half brother of her ex-husband, was back in the city and he returned not only to take back what belonged to him but he was there to do it with a bang. And Mia, who was set to forget the night of their entanglement, found herself in another turmoil when Lucas offered a contract to marry her. In exchange, he promised to save her father. The temptation was too strong for Mia to ignore. But as she signed the contract, she swore to never fall for Lucas. But would she be able to keep her feelings at bay when Lucas starts showering her with his undivided attention? Was it truly an act of love or a part of his cruel scheme? Moreover, when a murder case binds Henry, Mia and Lucas together, what kind of secrets will be unravelled? Would they still be sane after the shards of truth pierce them? Or would they lose themselves forever?

I was never supposed to show up at his wedding. But I did—wearing red, carrying secrets, and ready to burn everything down. Nathaniel Valez was the man I once loved… and the monster who left me buried in fire. Now, he’s marrying my sister. And I’m here to make sure he pays for every lie. But he doesn’t recognize me.

“I Lord Tank Albridge, and my family, Pete Albridge, Cleo Albridge, and Fred Albridge, disavow Vinnandra the hateful as our blood. “Today, in one voice we curse the day she joined us, and we’ll forever celebrate the day she has left our ranks! Vinnandra shall not know us, and she is not ours to know anymore.” *** In a world of white-haired dragon riders and black-haired witches, Princess Vinnandra Albridge is born red-haired as the forbidden spawn of a witch-spy and a dragon rider known as the Hateful. Unwanted by her family and shunned by society, Vinn tries to get by everyday unnoticed and alive. However, her simple plans come crashing down when her family disavows her by removing her from her royal bloodline, proclaiming her a traitor to consequently serve as an official slave to the notorious Lenklock dragon riders family that rules in the North. There, it would seem that while Vinn might not be able to groom a dragon, she might make good food for one… not if she had anything to do about it. Vowing to fight for her life and rise above others, Vinn must learn how to break through her blood and reach to whatever minute strength she possesses and become a dragon rider… or something. And it would seem Vinnandra’s vows would be realised in the form of Xander Lenklock—a troubled man and problematic heir who charges into her life, proclaiming a nobody like her his greatest ally and seeking her alliance. For the first time in a long while, Vinn feels needed and wanted—two dangerous elements that ignites feelings she shouldn’t have, and evokes thoughts she shouldn’t think. And in a partnership that might make or break them, Vinn was sure she would do anything to have Xanders’ body, heart and soul. Problem is, Xander has a fiancée who was there to stay… forever. But with her mothers past looming over her, and with shadows of the enemy hidden in the trees playing their ultimate move, even if Vinnandra manages to steal Xander’s heart, will she be able to keep it? Or will her dubious identity destroy everything she has come to enjoy? Will the powers she has come to possess swallow her? Or could she be the enemy that her people really fear? Be whatever it might, the ultimate question remains—Dragon rider or Witch… which is she? ***** VOLUME 1 (Beginnings): COMPLETE VOLUME 2 (Chaos Abounds): ONGOING VOLUME 3: (Wrath of the Burned): UPCOMING

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man.

This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

This story was never meant to be remembered. But some names can’t be erased. Some bonds were written before time. I was born into a family of wealth, privilege and power. A family that claimed to love me. Claimed to protect me. But the moment I spoke of the dreams,those strange, vivid dreams of a world bathed in golden light, where the sky stretched endlessly and the people whispered things I couldn’t understand, they called me Sick. Delusional. They said it was for my own good when they locked me away. When they silenced me. When they made me forget who I was. But I remember. Even as time slips through my fingers like sand, even as my memories fray and dissolve, I remember that place. A world that doesn’t exist here. A sky that feels too familiar. A warmth I’ve never known in this life. And a presence,soft and distant,always just out of reach. A name I almost recall. A promise I never meant to break. And when everything else fades,my past, my name, even the shape of my own reflection, what stays with me isn’t anger. It’s knowledge. They were wrong. About me. About what they feared. About what I saw. And I don’t need vengeance. I don’t need their apologies. I need answers. And maybe, if I keep going, I’ll find that place again. Maybe I’ll find her again. And maybe this time, she will remember me too.
