The Great Qian Dynasty. The thirty-second year of the Zun’an era. The weather was favorable, and the empire enjoyed peace and prosperity. Having failed in his search for the path of immortality, Zheng Xiu had no choice but to resign himself to a mundane life. He poured his efforts into commerce, deciding to simply be an honest, unpretentious… wealthiest man in the realm. One day, Zheng Xiu was framed by his enemies and thrown into prison.

"A malicious incident has occurred at our city hospital, a patient has taken medical staff hostage, and is now in a standoff with the police..." Yang Xiao turned off the TV, and the next second, a call came through, "Son, release the doctor now. There are police all around; you can't escape!" As if to prove the woman's words, the police sirens outside grew louder one after another, and there was also movement in the hallway. "It's fake, all fake. This is the Nightmare World. Otherwise, why would your call still come through after I cut the phone line?" Yang Xiao glared at the fallen phone line, his face twisted ferociously.

They call them queens. Not because they wear crowns. Because no one dares tell them no. Celeste and Claire were raised in a world where power belongs to the people willing to take it. One is ruthless with a knife. The other can smile across a room while quietly deciding how to ruin the man sitting opposite her. Together, they are almost untouchable. Until a raid on a human-trafficking operation leaves them with two unexpected complications. Two men. Alec and Jace were never supposed to become part of their lives. They were supposed to be loose ends, dangerous only because a powerful man named Dario Kade wants them found. One carries a secret left behind by his dead father. The other is hiding an entire life behind the quiet face of a driver. Neither man asked to be taken. Neither expected to stay. And neither expected the women holding them captive to become the people they could no longer imagine living without. But there is more behind their kidnapping than either sister realizes. Kade has been searching for something for years. Something recorded in a ledger. Something connected to a dead man, a buried secret, and the people he has already killed to keep it buried. Now the Queens have it within reach. Revenge was supposed to be simple. Love was never part of the plan. And in their world, caring about someone is perhaps the most dangerous weakness of all. Because when the people you love become your greatest vulnerability, you have to decide what you are willing to destroy to keep them. Some women wait for someone to save them. These women became the ones everyone else needed saving from.

In a nation divided between the wealthy Spires and the struggling Sinks, one hundred citizens are sent to Blackwake to compete in the Red Hunt, a televised game where only the strongest are expected to win a prize and residency in the Spires. The hunters are divided into teams of four called Quadrangles. Each Quadrangle is made up of four classes: the Tactician, who leads the team through strategy and decision-making; the Scout, who moves ahead to gather information and navigate danger; the Fighter, who handles combat and protects the team; and the Lifeline, who keeps injured teammates alive and provides medical support. Among them is Elowen Bradshaw, a teenage girl from the Sinks who enters the Hunt expecting nothing more than a way to help her dying aunt. But Blackwake is not the arena the government claims it to be. As mysteries pile up and the island reveals secrets buried beneath its surface, Elowen begins to realize that someone has been watching and manipulating the game from the shadows. The deeper Elowen goes, the more the Red Hunt stops looking like a competition and starts looking like something far more terrifying. Because the Hunters were never chosen at random. The Red Hunt was never about finding a winner. It was about deciding who deserved to be erased, then convincing an entire nation to watch. ~•~ "May the worthy endure. May the Spires remain eternal. Let the Red Hunt commence." ~•~ This novel contains some graphic content including violence & blood. Reader discretion is advised. Copyright © 2026 Eugene John Lubaton All Rights Reserved.

Some marriages are arranged. Some hearts are not. Gyeongseong, 1934. In a city where reputation is everything and a woman’s future can be decided over a cup of tea, Yoon Hae-won has always known that one day, she will be expected to marry well. She simply never imagined that her future husband would be a man she barely knows. Seo Tae-gyeom is everything a respectable husband should be: wealthy, composed, and impossible to read. He offers her a beautiful home, a name that commands respect, and a marriage built on an agreement neither of them had the freedom to refuse. He does not ask for her love. She does not offer it. But behind the polished doors of the Seo household lie unspoken histories, carefully guarded secrets, and a past her husband seems determined to keep buried. As Gyeongseong moves to the rhythm of jazz records, whispered scandals, and changing times, Hae-won begins to discover that the man she married may be far more complicated than the stranger she first met. And somewhere between formal dinners, midnight conversations, and the quiet intimacy of two lives learning to share a home, the boundaries of their arrangement begin to blur. Yet in a world where family duty outweighs personal desire and appearances can conceal almost anything, falling in love may be the easiest part of their story. Because what happens when a marriage arranged by others becomes a choice of their own? In Gyeongseong, every heart has a secret, every promise has a price, and the most beautiful love songs are sometimes the ones no one dares to sing.

Shen Feng practices no orthodox martial art. His path is known only as the Way of the Wind—a philosophy as much as a technique. Once, he had bore another name and lived a life bound by consequence. That past, deliberately abandoned, still reaches for him through assassins, sect envoys, and whispers carried across the martial world. And as he travels from forgotten inns to contested towns, from valleys stalked by hunters to cities ruled by hidden powers, he repeatedly encounters forces that resist the natural flow—sects that control through fear, masters who bind disciples as tools, and leaders who mistake stillness for weakness. At the end of his journey, Shen Feng leaves behind something far more unsettling: a world that has learned that power does not always announce itself, and that the most dangerous force is not the storm that destroys, but the wind that cannot be stopped. The road continues, but it is nothing without the wind to carry it's weight.
