Double Blind

In the sprawling, rain-slicked metropolis of Onyx Port, peace is a structural lie—and the debt is finally coming due. Arthur Hale is a masterpiece of engineering. By day, he is the "Golden Son" and a Senior Analyst at the monolithic Vane Infrastructure & Risk (VIR), meticulously calculating the city’s foundations. By night, he is a "Ghost" for the Union, a cold strategist who prunes human variables to maintain a global stalemate. But the Union has gone silent, his maintenance checks have vanished, and his sister Maya is starting to notice the cracks in his "perfect brother" mask. Sloane Miller is a ghost in a different machine. To her micro-managing boss at VIR, she is the clumsy, divorced aunt raising her orphaned nephew, Leo. To the Republic, she is a "Reaper," a high-efficiency instrument of violence operating in the city’s subterranean shadows. But after a purge wiped out the rest of her bloodline, she is weary, desperate, and looking for a place to disappear. When a mounting debt and a shared target force them to share a crumbling, off-books Private Investigation office—the "Blind Spot"—an uneasy partnership is forged. It is a sanctuary built on three strict rules: No questions about the past, no digging into personal matters, and never bring the work home. But the "Blind Spot" is no longer hidden. The Accountants—the lethal liquidators of a third power known as the Coalition—have arrived to "foreclose" on the world. They are sparking a war between the Union and the Republic, targeting the only things Arthur and Sloane have left: their families. As the city becomes a silent battlefield, Arthur and Sloane must navigate a triple-layered life. They are coworkers by day, roommates by night, and lethal rivals in a global war they are trying to stop. In a world of perfect calculations and cold lethality, they are about to learn the most dangerous variable of all: The person you are falling for is the same person you were sent to eliminate.

our collide in the shadows

The story begins from the perspective of Lana, a mysterious young woman traveling with a suspicious but charming swan companion. Little is known about Lana’s past, and her guarded nature contrasts with the open and expressive Zai, a man she meets along the road. Though Zai appears mysterious, readers feel closer to him than to Lana because of his honesty. Together, they set out for the Eclipse Forest, a rumored safe haven from the Forces of Shadows. On their journey, they must pass through dangerous lands — the Shapeless Forest, Illusion Forest, and Water Forest — where they encounter allies. Sirene from the Water Forest and Zoey from the Illusion Forest join their group, offering knowledge and aid. Along the way, Lana and Zai’s relationship slowly deepens as they face inner conflicts and external threats, yet suspicion toward the Swan lingers. Their travels bring them to the Silent Kingdom, where they are jailed by its Queen. By helping her break a curse of silence caused by the Shadows, they earn her trust and form a powerful alliance. From here, the group continues making allies among other creatures, strengthening their cause. Romance blossoms between Lana and Zai, but trust is shaken when secrets about the Swan are revealed. The group is soon betrayed and captured by the Shadows, thrown into a massive cage designed to force them to fight one another. The Shadows use a device to corrupt their powers and drain their energy into their army. Despite betrayal and darkness, Lana, Zai, Sirene, and Zoey work together, unknowingly aided by Lana’s hidden parents, and manage to escape. This trial forces them to confront their fears and depend on each other more than ever. Eventually, Lana learns the truth about her real parents and the roots of her existence. Reaching the Eclipse Forest, they discover its protective barrier is collapsing. The forest is not the refuge they hoped for, but rather the place of their origin. Here, Lana and Zai uncover their destinies: Lana carries the Flame Spirit, while Zai carries the Swan Spirit, both descended from the ancient Eclipse Spirit. With their powers awakened and their bond renewed, they rally allies and the creatures of the Eclipse to face the Shadows in a final confrontation. Through unity, healing, and love, they defend the Eclipse Forest and accept their duty as its protectors, fulfilling the destiny that had been waiting for them all along.

The Billionaire's Decoy Bride: Dangerously Yours

“Adrian,” Raya whispered, voice trembling. “Choose — her or me.” His eyes darkened. “Why should I choose,” he said softly, stepping closer, “when I can have you both?” Her breath caught. “You’re insane,” she whispered. He brushed a thumb over her lips. “No,” he murmured, “i'm yours as you're mine. Whether you want it or not.” ~~~ To save her father, Raya agrees to become the fiancée of a man who could destroy her. She thought she was walking into a simple contract. But when she steps into Adrian Blake’s world, she steps into a maze of power, obsession, and dangerous secrets. Adrian never loved Seraphina, the woman he was supposed to marry. He only needed her family’s influence to seize the Blake empire. But when Seraphina vanishes… Raya becomes the perfect replacement. She’s stubborn, penniless, and nothing like Seraphina. Except for one disturbing detail She looks exactly like her. His terms are everything she should refuse: • Pretend to be his fiancée. • Pay off her father’s impossible debt. • Leave when he says so. Simple. Until she realizes the man behind the cold mask isn’t simple at all. The more she falls for him, the more dangerous he becomes. Because Adrian Blake doesn’t want love. He wants control. And now, he wants her. When the truth about Seraphina begins to unravel, Raya must choose: Run before she’s swallowed by Adrian’s darkness… or stay and risk losing her heart, and her identity, to the man who already owns her.

Ha—This (Were)wolf

Earth looks human—until you learn what’s been living under its skin. It’s Darkmoon Year 238. Vampires and werewolves are running out of power, running out of faith, and—most painfully—running out of places with no security cameras. Human civilization has caged magic with lights, laws, and “rational explanations.” So the hidden races do what any endangered species does: blend in and work overtime. As for me? I’m “a student.” Not because I love education. Because my face is permanently sixteen, and if you look sixteen for two centuries, society eventually hands you a backpack and says, “Go to class.” By day, I attend lectures, take exams, and pretend I’m worried about my GPA. By night, I juggle two jobs that pay in stress. I’m a cross-species liaison—translating threats into polite emails, passing messages between clans, and scrubbing supernatural messes before humans notice. In other words, I’m a civil servant—on a salary so low it’s practically a curse. So I write bizarre horror stories online to make myself alive— No, sorry. To make a better living. Because, honestly, I can’t exactly get alive again. And then I walk into the office to argue about my manuscript—again—only to find my editor dead in a pool of blood. What a bloody waste. In the moonlit corner, a man stands calmly wiping his hands. He looks at me, eyes flashing gold. “Don’t move,” he says. “You smell like evidence.” Ha. When I show up at a crime scene, I’m usually there to erase it. (For once, I get to be on the receiving end of my own clean-up crew.) Unfortunately, the wolf cop in the room has other plans.
