In Plain Sight

Every family has its legends. Ours is whispered in shadowed corners, where truth and lies twist into a knot that strangles us still. They call it a curse—a tale to frighten children and humble the prideful. But the Hag is no story. She waits, her hunger growing within, her vengeance eternal.
I had heard the stories, those whispered tales of a family legend meant to scare children into obedience. I dismissed them, like anyone would. A curse? A Hag? Just another ghost story. It wasn’t exactly a secret that our bloodline descended from ancient witches, after all. Tales like these were inevitable, woven into our past like threads in a dark tapestry. But when I sifted through Great-Grandma Olga’s belongings today, I found something I hadn’t expected—a book. Bound in cracked leather and etched with symbols I couldn’t decipher, it practically hummed with age and mystery. The stories inside weren’t bedtime tales. They were warnings, written in trembling script and interspersed with strange symbols. My great-grandmother’s voice seemed to whisper from the pages, pulling me into a world where the Hag wasn’t just a story but a looming threat.

The curse was never broken.
It was only waiting.

In a quiet Russian village surrounded by endless forest, Clara and Sergei Ivanovich hoped to build a new life for their family. But when their children begin to hear whispers in the night and see a house that no one else can find, it becomes clear that something ancient has followed them into their home.

Something that knows their blood.

As terrifying dreams bleed into waking life, Clara uncovers fragments of a forgotten legend—an old woman burned alive centuries ago, a broken promise, and a curse that has haunted the Ivanovich family for generations.

The villagers call her many things.

A witch.
A spirit.
A nightmare that walks in the dark.

But those who truly know the stories call her The Hag.

When Clara discovers that the debt owed by her ancestors has returned to claim a new life, she is faced with an impossible choice: protect her children or defy the ancient bargain and risk losing everything.

Because the Hag is patient.

She waits in dreams.
She waits in the forest.
And when the bloodline calls to her—

She always collects what she is owed.

The Hag Reborn is the chilling second installment in the Cursed Bloodline series, where ancient folklore, family secrets, and supernatural terror collide in a haunting tale of sacrifice, survival, and the price of breaking a promise made in blood.

The world doesn’t collapse all at once.
First… the cracks appear.
When coordinated attacks begin disrupting power grids, rail systems, and financial markets across the United States, Navy SEAL team leader Niko Assassinino is pulled into a covert task force charged with uncovering the truth behind the chaos. What they discover is far more terrifying than terrorism.
A hidden network known only as the Directorate has spent years quietly mapping the faultlines of modern civilization—energy systems, transportation networks, financial markets—every system that keeps the world running. And now they’re ready to break them.

Every city rests on something unseen.
Birmingham, 1921.

An independent unit monitors invisible pressure building beneath the city—unrest that follows precise, unnatural patterns. When every escalation begins narrowing toward one man, Evan realizes he is no longer containing the force threatening Birmingham.

He is aligning with it.

This is not a traditional vampire story. There are no fangs, no seduction, no gothic spectacle. Instead, in the industrial fog of post-war England, something ancient is measuring balance—and selecting its axis.

Quietly cosmic and psychologically restrained,The Crimson Battalion explores what it costs to become indispensable.

Blackwater Cove is the kind of town that survives by forgetting.

When Isla Hale returns to the coastal community she fled years ago, it’s supposed to be temporary—a quiet reckoning with a past she never fully escaped. But when a body washes ashore and the death is ruled an accident too quickly, Isla begins to see what everyone else refuses to acknowledge: this town is lying to itself.

As she digs deeper, Isla uncovers a pattern of disappearances, falsified records, and a symbol carved into sand and stone—one that appears just before lives are erased and histories rewritten. What begins as a search for the truth behind a single death becomes a descent into a vast, unseen network that decides which towns are allowed to exist… and which are quietly dismantled.

The symbol is back.

Isla Hale survived Blackwater Cove, but survival only made her a target. Across distant coastlines, isolated towns are marked—lives erased, histories rewritten, and entire communities quietly dismantled.

Off-grid and hunted, Isla must infiltrate the machinery of the Collective again. Every step is a calculated risk, every ally a potential betrayer. And when the line between predator and prey disappears, Isla is forced to decide how far she’s willing to go—and what she’s willing to sacrifice—to stop a system that can reach anywhere, kill anyone, and rewrite the world.

Dark, relentless, and psychologically intense, Marked by the Tide will pull you into a global conspiracy where no one is safe, and the tide is only just beginning.

They built the system to disappear people.
They didn’t expect one to fight back.

When Isla Hale uncovers the truth behind Red Hollow, she realizes the Collective isn’t just watching the country—it’s rehearsing it. Testing obedience. Normalizing silence. Turning fear into policy.

What began as a missing person case has become a nationwide unraveling.

As federal authority fractures and a shadow task force tightens its grip, Isla finds herself hunted by the very institutions meant to protect the public. Jonah, compromised and exposed, is forced into choices that burn his last remaining cover. Every move draws more eyes. Every mistake costs lives.

Red Hollow was supposed to be an experiment.

Instead, it becomes the spark.

I’m no hero. Heroes care about the world. I don’t care about anything.I am the villain. The darkness that thrives in shadows. Comfortable, inevitable, unstoppable.And then there’s her. The one woman I can’t have. The one who ignites a hunger I can’t control. She becomes my obsession, my addiction, my downfall. I will chase her across every line, every boundary, until she breaks… or I do.In a world where nothing is safe and trust is a lie, Villainous Obsession will take you deep into the mind of a man consumed by desire, power, and obsession—and leave you questioning whether anyone can survive what they’ve become.

The world didn’t end all at once. It learned how to survive without mercy.Rhea was raised to be a weapon—and chose to become something else.In the ashes of a broken civilization, the fortified city-state of Bastion stands as humanity’s last line of defense. Beyond its walls lie raiders, corrupted machines, and ancient forces that never stopped watching. Within the walls, fear and control wear the mask of safety.When Rhea’s suppressed abilities begin to surface, she becomes the center of a dangerous political struggle—one that sees her not as a person, but as an asset to be deployed or erased. As Bastion’s brutal survival trials turn lethal and old betrayals rise from the dead, Rhea is forced to make a choice that will define the future of the wasteland.Hunted by those who want to control her, tempted by an inhuman intelligence that promises order at any cost, and haunted by the legacy of the fallen Lumen Court, Rhea must decide what she’s willing to become to protect the people who still believe survival should mean more than obedience.Because in a world built on fear, choosing compassion may be the most dangerous act of all.

Bastion didn’t make Rhea a weapon. She chose to become one.In the wake of betrayal and bloodshed, Bastion offers Rhea something it never has before: a place inside its walls—and inside its war. Trained, tested, and watched, she is thrown into brutal survival operations meant to shape her into the city’s ultimate defense against the Precursor and the Sovereign’s growing influence.But power has a price.As factions within Bastion fight to control her, old secrets resurface—proof that the ancient Lumen Court did not fall by accident. Survivors remain. So do their enemies. And someone inside Bastion still answers to a long-buried betrayal.Caught between becoming what the wasteland demands and holding onto what makes her human, Rhea must decide how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice to keep Bastion standing—before the war she’s training for begins without her.Because ascension isn’t about rising. It’s about what you leave behind.

The Lumen Court was not erased. It was scattered—on purpose.As the truth of the ancient hybrids comes to light, Rhea is drawn into the ruins of a civilization that once balanced the world between light and void. What she finds there reshapes everything she thought she was fighting for.The survivors of the Lumen Court have been watching. Waiting. Building something in the shadows—something that could end the war or burn what’s left of humanity to ash.While Bastion fractures under the weight of fear and political collapse, the Precursor tightens its grip through manipulation instead of force, turning allies against one another and exposing the cost of resistance.And as Rhea’s control over her Unraveling grows, so does the danger of what she might become.The past is no longer buried. The truth is no longer optional. And the ashes are beginning to move.

Every system breaks. The question is what survives the fall.The Sovereign has made its final move. The Precursor’s long game is revealed. And Bastion stands on the edge of collapse—caught between control and extinction.With war spilling across the wasteland and the last secrets of the Lumen Court laid bare, Rhea is forced to confront the truth no one else will: saving Bastion may mean letting it die.No more training. No more factions. No more choosing the lesser evil.As alliances shatter and old powers fall, Rhea must decide what kind of world comes after the ruins—and whether she belongs in it at all.Because when the Sovereign falls, nothing takes its place by accident.

In the City of Pantheons, gods don’t rule from the heavens — they run the streets. Olympus hides behind marble towers. The Norse carve power from the docks. The Aztecs bleed the markets dry. And in the shadows between them all walks Damocles — a private investigator with a curse sharper than any blade.The Sword of Damocles hangs above her, unseen by most but felt by all. It has never fallen… until now.When a terrified client brings her a case of a missing girl — a demigod with visions of blood and fire — Damocles is pulled into a war no mortal should survive. The Norse want the girl as a weapon. The Aztecs want her as a sacrifice. Olympus wants her in chains. And every path leads to the Aegis, a shield that feeds on blood and promises to drown the city in hunger.In a world where gods bleed and shadows lie, Damocles must decide: will the Sword remain a curse that hangs over her life, or will she seize it and cut a path no pantheon can control?Smoke. Thunder. Blood. Blades. The city burns, and only the diamond can cut deep enough to survive it.

The Sword has fallen. The city has seen its light. And now every pantheon wants the prophet.Damocles thought the cut would end the bloodshed. Instead, it opened the floodgates. Rome marches with crowns of iron, the Slavs bring storm and shadow, the Celts circle with black wings, and from the East comes a river that binds tighter than chains. All of them want Selene — the girl who sees too much, who bleeds for every vision, who may be more than a prophet.Because the Aegis doesn’t just hunger through her. It waits for her.As altars topple and gods carve the city into graveyards, Damocles and Selene must decide whether they’re running from prophecy or becoming it. The Sword cuts, the Shield endures — but together, they may be the only weapon strong enough to defy the gods.And Loki, watching from the shadows, wouldn’t have it any other way.

The city bleeds, but the war has only just begun.Damocles has cut deep—too deep. The Sword has scarred Olympian marble, split Norse thunder, and burned jade temples to ash. But every wound she leaves only widens the battlefield, and every pantheon left standing sharpens its claim.Now the Morrígan descends with her crows, Rome marches with iron banners, and the Slavic storm rises to claim the scarred streets. And in the east, the Jade Throne casts its lantern glow across the city, promising endurance at any cost.Selene, bound by visions, becomes more than a prophet—she is the Shield the gods crave, the vessel they would chain or break. Damocles, with the Sword above her head, can cut her free. But each strike feeds the city’s wound, and each scar makes the war inevitable.Crows. Wolves. Fire. Wings. The whispers all converge on one truth: the pantheons are no longer waiting. They are coming. And the city will burn before it bows.In a world where gods rule as crime lords and myths bleed into the streets, one detective with a cursed Sword must carve her path through smoke, blood, and ruin—or be swallowed whole.

When fate cracks, something ancient crawls through.The city trembles as the Truthbound stirs beneath its foundations, and the pantheons gather like predators circling a wounded world. Odin’s ravens darken the skies. Metatron’s angels sharpen their judgment. The Desert Pantheon raises walls of fire. And through it all, the gods whisper a single warning:Damocles was never meant to wield the Sword. Yet she carries the fate of the world within every cut she makes.Time fractures. Destinies bleed. Selene feels herself coming undone.And Damocles— Daughter of the Impossible Blade— refuses to bow to prophecy, god, or fate.But the Truthbound is rising. The chains are failing. And the world remembers its wound.When the sky finally splits open, only one truth remains:What Damocles cuts, even the gods cannot heal.

The sky has cracked. The Seal screams. And love has become the most dangerous force in existence.Selene is dead—her final breath unlocking a catastrophe older than all pantheons. In the ruins of the Ten Circles, Damocles rises reborn, her Sword burning with a light no god has ever wielded. She was once a mortal girl with a blade. Now she is something else entirely.The pantheons scatter in terror as reality begins to fracture: deserts move like storms, the underworlds bleed into the waking world, and Rifts open where the laws of time unravel. Every pantheon makes its choice—destroy the God-Slayer, contain her… or beg for her mercy.They all choose wrong.Driven by grief, bound to nothing, Damocles descends into the Truthbound labyrinth where fate itself bends. Each step pulls her further from humanity—and closer to the catastrophic power that could either restore the dying Seal… or rip the world into a new age ruled by the echoes of her sorrow.As armies gather for the final battle, and the Third Circle breaks beneath her blade, one truth becomes impossible to escape:A new world is being born… and Damocles is the one shaping it.

Worse, while she was overseas, he moved his mistress into military housing—Eryn’s own home—and allowed her to play “mommy” to Cassidy.Now Eryn must prove in court that her love and devotion outweigh the lies and betrayal stacked against her. With her faith as her anchor and the truth finally revealed, Eryn makes the ultimate sacrifice: choosing to retire from the Marine Corps so she can give Cassidy the stability she deserves.As the courtroom battle comes to a head, Eryn learns that God’s strength is made perfect in weakness—and that the greatest victory isn’t won on the battlefield, but in the heart of a child who knows her true mother’s love.An inspiring story of faith, courage, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her daughter.

In the annals of magic, few days stood out in infamy as the day the war began. It started, as many conflicts do, with betrayal. The rival witch families, each guardians of their own ancient bloodlines, had existed in tenuous peace for centuries. That peace shattered when a single, forbidden spell was cast—a spell that had been hidden within the pages of the most powerful grimoire ever written, The Codex Aeternum. The spell tore through the Veil, the delicate boundary between the world of magic and the mortal realm. The balance was disrupted, plunging the witch families into chaos. No longer could they work together to safeguard the grimoire; instead, they turned on one another, each family desperate to claim the book’s power for themselves. For three bloody years, the skies burned with fire and ash as covens unleashed their most devastating spells. Entire villages vanished overnight, swallowed by curses too destructive to contain. Forests grew wild with corrupted magic, their gnarled trees whispering secrets no mortal could understand. Rivers ran black with tainted blood. And then, just as the war reached its fever pitch, the unthinkable happened: The Codex Aeternum vanished. One moment, it was at the heart of the battlefield, held in the trembling hands of a desperate witch. The next, it was gone, as though the book itself had grown weary of the carnage wrought in its name. With the grimoire lost, the war collapsed under its own weight. The families retreated, broken and suspicious, retreating to the shadows to lick their wounds and plot their resurgence. Centuries passed, but the scars of the war remained. The families—the Ashbournes, the Vayles, the Nightfalls, and others—recovered, but none forgot. The loss of the grimoire was not just a loss of power; it was a loss of purpose. Each family swore an unspoken vow to find the book, even if it took generations. Tabitha Ashbourne, a witch from the disgraced bloodline, feels the grimoire call to her. She sets out with her brother, Rowan, in search of the grimoire. Along the way, they will be tested and warned. The grimoire is not what it seems. Tabitha will have a choice to make when she finds it, destroy it or be destroyed by it.

The grimoire calls, and bloodlines will bleed.After narrowly escaping the clutches of the grimoire’s curse, Tabitha hoped the whispers would fade. But her mark burns brighter than ever, its pull stronger and more dangerous, tethering her to an ancient power she never wanted.

Led by the ruthless patriarch Alaric and his fearsome daughter Seraphine, the Vyrein are determined to exploit Tabitha’s connection to unlock the grimoire’s full power. Caught between their manipulations and her own growing doubts, Tabitha must navigate a deadly game of ambition and betrayal.With her loyal but wary brother Rowan and the enigmatic Elys—a former Vyrein outcast with secrets of her own—Tabitha races to uncover the truth about the grimoire’s origins. But every choice she makes draws her deeper into its grasp, testing the limits of her will and threatening to tear her fragile alliances apart.In a battle where family ties mean nothing, and the price of power is everything, Tabitha must decide: will she resist the grimoire’s call—or risk becoming the very monster she fears?The war for the grimoire has begun.

The grimoire’s whispers grow louder, its power more insidious. Tabitha, marked by the cursed artifact, stands at the center of a conflict that threatens to unravel the magical world. As the Vyrein family closes in with their relentless ambition, Tabitha must navigate fragile alliances, deadly rivals, and the dark legacy she never asked for.Desperate to take control of the grimoire’s influence, Tabitha turns to the enigmatic Silas, a man with his own shadowed past, and the mysterious Eldrin Coven, keepers of secrets that could hold the key to her survival. But the arrival of the Wynthorne family—a ruthless bloodline determined to destroy the grimoire and all who are connected to it—forces Tabitha to question whom she can truly trust.Faced with betrayal, impossible choices, and the growing realization that the grimoire is not just a tool but a living, malevolent force, Tabitha must embrace the fire within or risk losing herself entirely. As ancient rivalries flare and dangerous alliances form, the line between savior and destroyer blurs.The grimoire’s legacy looms, and the fate of magic itself rests in Tabitha’s hands. Will she control the grimoire’s power, or will it consume her—and everything she holds dear?

The final battle looms.Tabitha Ashbourne has faced fire, betrayal, and the unrelenting whispers of the grimoire’s power, but her greatest challenge lies ahead. With the fragile alliances of the Ember Veil and the Aetherial Concord under threat, and the Wynthorne-Vyrein forces tightening their grip, Tabitha must navigate a web of deception and danger to protect those she loves—and to stop the grimoire from consuming her entirely.As the shadowy figure tied to the grimoire’s will reveals its true nature, Tabitha is forced to confront the ultimate question: what is she willing to sacrifice to keep the world from falling into darkness? With the line between ally and enemy blurring, and the grimoire testing her resolve at every turn, Tabitha must harness her growing power—or risk becoming the very force of destruction she’s fighting against.In a world teetering on the edge of chaos, where forbidden magic threatens to unravel everything, the reckoning is inevitable.

Will she rise… or will she fall?

A Novella Bridging Bloodlines of the Forgotten and The Coven ChroniclesLong before the rise of the Veil, before alliances were shattered and secrets sealed, there was one story left untold…Celia Ashford is a young witch of divided legacy—born from the ancient bloodlines that history tried to erase, and trained by a Coven that fears the very power she carries.

For centuries, the secretive Ravenshade Coven has protected the delicate balance between the magical and mortal worlds. Bound by an unbreakable oath, they ensure that dark forces remain at bay. But when a forbidden spell is unleashed, shattering the barriers between realms, the coven’s most promising witch, Ravenna Blackmoor, is thrust into a deadly conflict that could doom them all.As she delves into the mysteries of her lineage, she unearths secrets long buried—truths that could either save magic or destroy it forever. With betrayal lurking in the shadows and an ancient enemy rising, she must decide where her loyalties lie. Will she honor the oath that has bound her coven for generations, or will she risk everything to forge her own path?Magic has a price. The question is—who will pay it?

Cassian Veyne has spent years in exile, determined to stay as far from the coven as possible. But when the past catches up to him, dragging him back into a world he swore to leave behind, he is forced to confront the legacy of the Oath—and the growing danger that threatens the balance between realms.What should have been a simple return turns into a nightmare when Cassian, alongside the sharp-witted Lucian and the reckless Veylan, stumbles upon a force older than the coven itself. A hunt for answers becomes a fight for survival when the Veil itself marks them—binding them together in ways they never imagined.As the elders struggle to understand the depth of their affliction, one thing becomes clear: this is no ordinary curse. And when even Ravenna, the witch who once sealed the Veil, struggles to break their connection, Cassian and his reluctant allies realize they are no longer just witches.They are Veilbound.And the magic that chose them is not done yet.But the Veil’s reach extends beyond the coven’s walls. When an outsider—Sena Idris—is unexpectedly called by the magic itself, it becomes clear that whatever was set into motion is far from over.The Veil is shifting. The Oath is breaking. And Cassian is no longer sure whether the witches will survive what comes next.

Sena Idris never believed in magic.She lived her life far from the coven, far from the whispers of the Veil—until the day it called her name.Now, ripped from the life she knew and thrust into a world she never wanted to be a part of, Sena must uncover why she was chosen. But the Veil doesn’t summon lightly, and as dark forces stir, she realizes she may not have a choice in what comes next.Because something is waiting for her.And it’s been waiting for a very, very long time.

Rowan Delacroix never wanted to be part of the coven’s ancient rites. He walked away from their oaths, their traditions, and the weight of a destiny he never asked for. But when the Veil stirs once more, reaching for him in ways he can no longer ignore, he is forced back into the world he abandoned.Bound to a power he barely understands, Rowan must navigate a dangerous path—one where the past refuses to stay buried, and the future is already unraveling. As whispers from beyond the Veil grow louder and the shadows move with purpose, Rowan realizes the truth:The Oath is not just a duty. It is a claim.And this time, it won’t let him go.But Rowan is no willing pawn. He will fight, he will defy, and if the Veil wants him—it will have to drag him down screaming.

Naia Voss has spent her life ignoring the whispers of the Veil, refusing to acknowledge the strange occurrences that have followed her since childhood. She has never wanted power, never sought out the magic that lingers beneath her skin. But when the Veil calls for her—when it begins to unravel reality around her—denial is no longer an option.The coven comes for her, claiming she has been chosen as the next Oathbearer. But Naia isn’t like the others. She won’t walk willingly into the path laid before her. She will fight it. Resist it.Because something is different this time.The Veil doesn’t just want her.It wants to consume her.And as Naia struggles to outrun a fate she never asked for, she begins to realize that the deeper mystery isn’t why she was chosen.It’s why the Veil fears her.

Elias Rune never wanted to be part of the Coven. He never wanted the Veil’s call, the whispers that crept into his dreams, or the unseen force that had been waiting for him all along. But when the Veil claims someone, there is no escape.Dragged before the Coven, Elias is given a choice that is no choice at all—accept the Oath or be consumed by what lies beyond the boundary of their world. Unlike the Oathbearers before him, however, Elias is different. The Veil does not just call to him. It wants him.As he struggles to master a power he does not understand, Elias begins to uncover the truth hidden in the Coven’s history—secrets of those who came before him, those who vanished into the Veil, and the one thing that the elders fear most.Because Elias is not like the others.And the Veil has never chosen wrong.

For centuries, the Veil has been the barrier between worlds—a force of unrelenting darkness, held back only by the Oathbearers and the Coven. Now, the war reaches its end.The Oathbearers, once bound by duty and fate, stand together one last time, their powers intertwined in a final desperate bid to seal the Veil forever. The Coven, battle-worn and fractured, must complete a ritual that will either unmake the abyss—or destroy them all.But the Veil is not a passive enemy. It whispers, tempts, and twists reality itself, breaking their minds before it can break their bodies. As illusions blur the line between truth and deception, the Oathbearers must fight against not only the darkness—but the past that haunts them.As the final battle looms, sacrifices must be made. The world will either stand free of the Veil’s shadow, or it will fall into oblivion.This is the end.And not all of them will walk away.

Fifty-seven-year-old William Hamilton is reliving his past mistakes. The year is 1942. His thoughts and memories are haunting him. His Demons are tormenting him. In 1927, William was head of a major oil production company. For no apparent reason, William, one day halted all oil production. No explanation was given. This halt in production caused the oil industry to crash. William blamed everyone but himself. The continued oil crisis contributed to the 1929 stock market crash. No one ever knew what started it all, and William never took responsibility. Now, as he lays in an asylum for the insane, the details of the halt in oil production are coming to light and all the blame is shifting to William. People want him to be held accountable for the dire situation the country, and indeed, the world found itself in. The faces of starving children, the wails of crying mothers, the defeated looks on the faces of husbands and fathers who can’t support their families, the angry cries from those who lost their jobs and their homes, plague him every night. It is a never-ending cycle.Cries of “Murderer” and “It’s your fault” and “You did this” haunt his dreams. Over and over, relentlessly.He wakes in the morning and tries to return home from the asylum, but when he gets there and opens the door, the torment starts over.

In 1984, Chole was born in the light dimension. The Blind Executioner had him kidnapped and brought to the dark dimension. While crossing the barrier between dimensions, Chole was severely burned and deformed by the laser barrier. He was forced to wear a prosthetic mask to hide his deformity, never spoke a word, and only communicates through body language.

Where will you be when the world comes to an end? Most people don’t even think about it or they laugh it off. Some people will laugh and say they will be dead by then, but, what if you’re not? What then? The reality of that question came crashing in like a wave sooner than expected one cold, mid-winter night. Some of us were prepared, but many were caught completely unaware. The world. Had gone. To shit. In the blink of an eye, the world as we knew it was totally rearranged into a desolate landscape. It was inevitable, really. So much division and fighting in the world could only lead to our own destruction. Countries tearing themselves apart from within, governments fighting for dominance and not taking care of their own people, and world leaders unable to quell the growing tsunami of discord. Doomsayers had been prepping for this eventuality for decades, but no amount of training, prepping, or stockpiling can ever really prepare you for the end of the world as you know it. No matter who you were before, how much money you had, whether you prepped or not, we are all equal now. Disaster has a way of doing that, leveling the playing field. Now here we are, at the end, and we are all left wondering the same thing. How the hell did we get here and what the hell do we do now? A conglomerate of world leaders, called the Axis, have decided it is time to narrow down the population of the Earth. In the United States, the government leaders have drawn a line down the center of the map and divided the country in half. Those who live at or below the poverty line, are ill, elderly, or otherwise dependent on the government, are being forced to relocate west of the Axis line. Those who live above the poverty line, are healthy and young, are being relocated to the east of the Axis line. With the threat of nuclear war hanging over their heads, what the world leaders have planned next is nothing short of Nazi regime genocide on a global scale. John and Phoenix MacKenzie decide it is time to move their family from rural Nebraska to the compound they have been building for decades in Arizona. Once there, can they find a way to save humanity from the atrocities that await them?

After Niko and the crew return from Colorado without John, the compound is in shock. Everyone is at a loss. The compound turns to Phoenix for leadership, a role which she reluctantly steps into. John left big shoes to fill but a solid plan to follow. Phoenix, Niko, and Liam must pull themselves out of their grief to guide the survivors. The Axis has found their location and is watching them, waiting for their next move. Niko is a mess. He was with his father when he died, or rather he was until John ordered him to leave him. He doesn’t know if he will ever be able to pull himself out of the darkness now. When a pretty young stranger is rescued from one of the camps, Niko finds love and the hope he so desperately needs, but will she help Niko and the rest of the crew pick up the pieces and put them back together or will she further shatter their already fragile existence?

This is it, do or die time. When a new inhabitant arrived at the compound and developed a relationship with Niko, it stirred a new hope in the compound after their patriarch was killed while trying to free some prisoners. Phoenix and crew have walked through fire and sifted through the ashes only to find hell on the other side. After a secret is revealed that Niko’s new love isn’t who she says she is, and Niko is imprisoned by the Axis, Phoenix must rise up, find a way to rescue Niko, and save the compound. With a little help from an unexpected source, will they be able to rise from the ashes or will everything they have worked for come crashing down?

Every ending is just a new beginning. That’s what they say anyway. I never really believed it, but here I am living it. I had been given a second chance to make things right, and I’ve spent the last twenty years fighting to do just that. The Axis nearly took everything from me; my home, my father, the love of my life. I was lucky to get them all back. Now, here I stand, with my husband and children, at the precipice of human existence. We had to fight to get to where we are now. Twenty years ago, North Korea destroyed everything with the use of nuclear weapons. The Axis had decided to play God and killed millions of innocent people in an effort to raise enough money to stop them, but they failed. My family stopped the Axis but couldn’t stop North Korea. The damage had already been done. Now, as I stand with my family, I am grateful that I was given a second chance. I look at my husband, then my children and wonder just what the future holds for us all. “What do we do now, Mom?” I hear my husband, Niko, ask his mother. “Now, we rebuild, we start over, we do better.” She answers. That’s what we will do. We will spread out and rebuild. I take my husband’s hand as he leads us out into an uncertain future, knowing that whatever is out there waiting for us, we will get through it together. Before we can face the unknown, I must first share how we got here. I have to face my past. My name is Trinity Amari MacKenzie and this is my story.

Soldier. Axis Agent. Psychopath. Those are the words that will appear on my tombstone, if anyone bothers to bury me, that is. They say I’m crazy, maybe they’re right, but they don’t know my story. They don’t know what I’ve been through. My father was a drunken psychopath who abused me and my mother and destroyed any goodness that may have been in me. I killed my father then wandered the country making a living as a gun for hire and fighting in underground fights. Constantine saved me from a lengthy prison sentence after a failed bank robbery attempt by enhancing my skills and putting them to work for the Axis. Now, I take what I want, I inflict pain on whomever I want, and I do what I want. No one can touch me. It’s the end of the world, and we’re all going to die. I’m just going to enjoy the ride. ***Warning: contains references to rape, child abuse, torture, and other situations that may be inappropriate for some readers. 18 and older recommended***

After you've left home, can you ever really return? This question has been playing in my mind like a broken record as I drive through the quiet darkness, heading home from the airport. For the first time in twenty-five years, I’m back on American soil—a home I haven’t seen in so long that it feels almost foreign. Coming back wasn’t easy, not by a long shot. There were times I wasn’t even sure I’d make it. Leaving Russia turned out to be harder than I ever imagined. You’d think being born and raised an American citizen would have made things easier, and in the end, it did—just not without a price. A price far higher than I ever anticipated.

Hidden for centuries. Feared by nations. Now, dragons are no longer myth— They’re the military’s last hope.Mount Beloc, a secret base carved deep into the Ural Mountains, is home to the world’s most dangerous experiment: an elite force where human soldiers are trained to bond with dragons. But trust doesn’t come easy between creatures forged in fire and warriors shaped by war.Sgt. Reina Lewis never asked for a dragon—especially not Killian, the aloof and ancient Dragon King who would rather burn bridges than build them. Bound together by a prophecy neither understands, they must navigate a fragile alliance as tensions rise, magic awakens, and a threat older than legend returns to finish what it started.When war reignites and bonds are tested, Reina and Killian must decide if they’re willing to fight with each other… Or fall because of each other.The spark has been struck.

They were created to heal— Now they must choose whether to save the world… or seal it forever.After surviving the collapse of the Valley of Echoes, River and SPC Michaels carry more than wounds. They carry a warning. The gate isn’t just opening—it’s remembering. And what waits beyond it has worn many faces, stolen many names.With dragonkind fracturing and human allies in political deadlock, River and Michaels must lead a mission into the heart of the memorystorm—where the origin of the bond may be the key to stopping the return of the Unseen… or finishing what they started.But forging a new kind of bond will demand a sacrifice neither of them may be ready for.In a war shaped by identity, can two healers reshape the battlefield?

After millennia watching the fledgling planet called Earth, the Voltairiens have decided it’s time to introduce them to the federation. They send their beloved Prince Therien, their future King, to do the honors. He is drawn to a noisy bar in the city of Seattle where he meets a fiery little redhead named Ripley. At first, she thinks he’s a nutjob, maybe, escaped from a psychiatric hospital, and she keeps him on his toes, but eventually she realizes that he is truly who he says he is and decides to help him in his diplomatic mission to get the planet Earth to join the Intergalactic Federation. Will they be successful or will the powers that be take Therien into their custody to be poked and prodded for their own sick curiosity?

Having successfully completed his mission, Prince Therien returns to Voltaire with Ripley, his newfound love, in tow. Tensions are mounting when he arrives home. There are skirmishes rising in the outlying borderland planets due to higher taxes on goods being traded. Though he brings good news of mission completion, it can’t be celebrated due to the threat of war on the horizon. As Therien tries to reign in his brother Thaisuh, tensions between the brothers mount. King Thorin steps in and sides with Therien and grants him permission to marry Ripley, fanning the flames of war. Will Thaisuh bring war against his father and brother, or will they be able to calm him down enough to stave off all-out war?

In anger, Thaisuh leaves for the furthest regions of the borderlands, making sure to conceal his identity so he doesn’t get killed. Out in the furthest reaches from his brother’s clutches, he stirs the common Voltarien folk to rise up against his brother and father. His sister, Trella, comes to find him and try to quell the growing discord, but only ends up adding fuel to the fire when she announces the approaching nuptials of their brother. Thaisuh uses this information to further anger and rouse the Voltairiens. Their beloved Prince Therien is marrying an Earthling and should not sit on the throne. A non-Voltairien Queen should not be tolerated. Will Thaisuh lead the common folk in a revolution against his brother, or will the common folk revolt against him instead?

King Thorin is dead and Therien and Ripley take their places as the new King and Queen of Voltaire. After the funeral for King Thorin, Therien and Ripley return to Earth to check on their progress, leaving Chancellor Lohuru in charge in their stead. While on Earth, they encounter one of Ripley’s exes, Marcus Valeon, who hasn’t aged a day in the 200 years since they left. Marcus reveals he works for Cedar Holdings which has yet to be disbanded but is run by the government and strictly controlled, however, they are working covertly to break away from the government and undermine Ripley and Therien at every turn. Will they be able to save Earth and get them into the Galactic Federation or will Cedar Holdings ex them out completely?

There’s never been a hybrid born on Voltaire and curiosity has everyone waiting anxiously to see if the new Prince will usher in peace or war. Therien returns from Earth having successfully shut down Cedar Holdings and getting Earth to join the Galactic Federation, but a new threat lies in wait. Thaisuh himself has remained quiet, not wanting to stir up any more trouble, but those who are still loyal to him have other ideas. With rumors of growing discontent and threats towards Elyndor, will Therien and Ripley finally get the peace they so desperately seek or will another uprising send Kubrastea into another war?

The system is failing.

The storm is spreading.

And survival is no longer guaranteed.

After stopping a catastrophic attack on the U.S. power grid, Captain Niko Assassinino thought the worst was over.

He was wrong.

Rolling blackouts.
Fuel shortages.
Supply chains collapsing from the inside.

What began as isolated attacks has become something far more dangerous—a coordinated effort to reshape the world itself.

As cities begin to fracture under pressure, Niko and Valkyrie Team uncover a terrifying truth:

The collapse isn’t chaos.

It’s control.

Someone is deciding which regions survive… and which are left to fall.

But the deeper Niko digs, the closer the threat moves to the center of power—and the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Because the enemy isn’t just out there.

They’re inside the system.

And they’re already winning.

In a world where trust is broken and time is running out, Niko must make an impossible choice:

Save what remains…
Or destroy the system before it destroys everything.

Black Winter has begun.

It always begins the same way.
A knock.
Three times. Slow. Deliberate.
Then the door appears.
Not where it should be. Not where it belongs.
A deep, unnatural red—like it’s been painted with something that hasn’t quite dried.
Across these stories, strangers from different lives—and different times—encounter the same impossible thing. A door that shouldn’t exist. A hallway that shouldn’t be real. And a choice that never truly feels like one.
Open it… or don’t.
It won’t matter.
Because the door doesn’t need permission.
It doesn’t need reason.
And it never forgets.
Once you see it—
You’re already part of it.

It doesn’t knock.
It laughs.
At first, it feels different. Almost harmless. A flicker of something bright where it shouldn’t be. A yellow door—peeling, painted with smiling faces that seem to shift when you’re not looking.
It doesn’t wait in silence like the red door.
It calls to you.
It invites you.
It wants you to play.

It doesn’t knock.
It doesn’t call.
It doesn’t ask.
It selects.
Across a new collection of chilling stories, something colder than fear begins to take hold. The doors are no longer just entrances—they are part of a system. A process. A design.
People don’t stumble into the steel door.
They are chosen for it.
Inside, there are no games. No laughter. No audience waiting to be entertained. Only observation. Only precision. Only change.
Memories are rewritten. Emotions are measured. Identities are stripped down and rebuilt into something… better.
Or at least, something more useful.
Because the steel door doesn’t trap you.
It improves you.
And once it’s finished—
You won’t want to go back.
You won’t remember how.
You may not even realize anything was taken at all.
The Red Door was a warning.
The Yellow Door was an invitation.
The Steel Door is something else entirely.
And this time—
You were never meant to survive as you are.

The world didn’t fall.
It was taken.

Now one man stands between humanity and a future where freedom no longer exists.

The system didn’t collapse.
It was replaced.

After the devastating events of Black Winter, the world stands on the edge of something far more dangerous than chaos—control.

Power grids fail without warning.
Cities rise and fall in hours.
Governments don’t fight back… they surrender.

Behind it all is a system designed to predict, control, and reshape the world in real time.

And it’s already winning.

Major Niko Assassinino has one mission left:
find the source, break the system, and stop the final phase before humanity loses the right to choose its own future.

But this isn’t a war fought with weapons.

It’s a war of decisions.

And every move he makes feeds the very thing he’s trying to destroy.

As the line between order and freedom disappears, Niko must face an impossible truth:

Saving the world may mean breaking it.

Because once control is accepted—

there is no going back.

The throne was empty.
It should have stayed that way.
When King Aleksandr Korvin dies without an heir, the fate of a hidden nation hangs in the balance. The government’s search for a rightful successor leads them somewhere no one expected—to a quiet life in rural America.
Amelia Voss never asked for power.
She never wanted a crown.
But when she is told the throne is her birthright—and that refusing it could plunge an entire country into chaos—she is forced to make an impossible choice.
Now, in a palace filled with secrets, shifting loyalties, and a council that has been controlling power from the shadows, Amelia must learn to lead before the throne is taken from her.
Because not everyone wants a Queen.
Some want control.
And they’ve been waiting for their chance.
As political tension rises and hidden enemies begin to move, Amelia quickly realizes the greatest threat may not be the ones outside the palace walls—
But the ones already inside.
And somewhere in the shadows…
someone else is coming.
Someone with the same bloodline.
The same claim.
And nothing left to lose.

It doesn’t open.
It doesn’t wait.

It grows.

In the next installment of The Soul Collector, the rules are gone—and so is the distance between you and what’s on the other side.

Across a chilling new collection of stories, something alive begins to spread. It starts small. A feeling. A change. Something just beneath the surface that shouldn’t be there… but is.

The Flesh Door doesn’t invite you in.

It finds you.

It moves through walls, through rooms, through people—turning bodies into something else, something shared, something no longer separate. The line between human and environment begins to dissolve, and once it does, there’s no way to tell where it ends… or where you do.

Some fight it.
Some accept it.
Some don’t realize what’s happening until it’s too late.

But by then—

It’s already part of you.

From the world of The Soul Collector:

The Red Door — It begins
The Yellow Door — It welcomes
The Steel Door — It changes
The Flesh Door — It consumes

And this time…

There’s nothing left to close.

For generations, the world has lived beneath the shadow of fear.

The great City Without Shadows is gone. The ancient Keepers have fallen. Across the broken kingdoms, darkness spreads through whispers, despair, and the lies people choose to believe.

In the isolated city of Lumen Hollow, Kael has spent most of his life trying to survive unnoticed while haunted by a mysterious Voice only he can hear. But when terrifying creatures known as Echoes breach the city walls and an ancient sanctuary awakens beneath the streets, Kael discovers the truth his mother died protecting:

The light has chosen him.

As war descends upon Lumen Hollow, Kael is thrust into a battle far greater than armies or monsters. Ancient Watchers seek to control humanity through fear. Forgotten Lantern Bearers fight to preserve hope. And deep beneath the world, something ancient stirs against the chains imprisoning it.

But the greatest danger may not be the darkness itself.

It may be the temptation to fight fear with control.

Filled with ancient mysteries, spiritual warfare, sacrifice, hope, and breathtaking fantasy, The Last Light is an epic Christian fantasy adventure in the spirit of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien—a story about truth, freedom, and the light that refuses to die.

The light has returned.
But so has the war.
After the battle for Lumen Hollow, whispers of the Flamebearer spread across the fractured kingdoms. Lanterns long thought dead burn once more, hidden sanctuaries awaken, and survivors begin gathering beneath the growing light.
But hope has a cost.
Beyond the dead fields, the Watchers are no longer hiding in shadow. Ancient kingdoms corrupted by fear rise against the remaining free cities while the Echoes evolve into something far more dangerous than anyone imagined.
Kael Ardent never wanted to become a symbol.
Now the world sees him as one.
Hunted by the Watchers, burdened by the Flame, and haunted by the growing darkness beneath creation itself, Kael must journey beyond the safety of Lumen Hollow into lands consumed by fear, war, and broken truths.
As old allies rise and devastating enemies emerge, Kael discovers a terrifying reality:
The darkness was never merely spreading.
It was preparing.
And somewhere beyond the ruined kingdoms, something ancient is calling the Echoes together.
In a world where fear builds kingdoms and truth sparks rebellion, the war for humanity’s soul has only just begun.

The chains have fallen.
The Towers are gone.
And the Flame now burns freely among the people.
But freedom comes with a cost.
As kingdoms rise from the ashes of the Echo War, rulers claim divine authority, prophets speak with honeyed tongues, and entire nations begin twisting the light into a weapon once more. In a world desperate for certainty, many would rather follow a crown than carry the burden of freedom.
Kael Ardent never wanted to become a symbol.
Yet whispers of the “Flamebearer” spread across fractured lands, drawing followers, enemies, and false messiahs alike. While Lantern Pilgrims carry hope from city to city, darker forces move beneath the surface—Echoes no longer feeding on fear alone, but corrupting truth itself.
And hidden beneath the ruins of an ancient sanctuary lies the Hollow Crown, a relic tied to the first fracture of humanity… and the temptation that nearly destroyed the world.
To save the kingdoms from another age of chains, Kael must confront the most dangerous question yet:
What happens when people are finally free to choose?
Because in the battle between crowns and lanterns, the greatest threat may not come from darkness—
…but from the light humanity tries to control.

The crowns have fallen.

The Lantern Roads burn across the kingdoms.

And for the first time in ages, humanity stands free beneath the light.

But deep beneath the world, something ancient has awakened.

As fractures spread across the mountains and White Flame storms consume the skies, Kael and his companions uncover the truth buried beneath every sanctuary, every crown, and every war fought in the name of salvation.

The Keepers were never the first guardians.

The abyss was never the true enemy.

And the light itself carries a wound older than memory.

Now the world stands at the edge of the White Judgment—a reckoning that will determine whether humanity is capable of freedom… or whether fear will always reshape love into control.

As ancient beings rise from beneath creation and kingdoms collapse into chaos, the Lantern Roads become humanity’s final hope.

Not because they promise perfection.

But because they remind the world of something fear forgot long ago:

The light was never meant to be possessed.

It was meant to be carried together.

In this breathtaking conclusion to the first age of The Light of No Shadow, Molly Lyions delivers a sweeping and emotional fantasy epic about hope, grief, freedom, sacrifice, and the fragile beauty of choosing one another in a broken world.

Thus ends the first age…

The sea took her.

It should have killed her.

Instead, it sent her back a thousand years.

When Coast Guard rescue swimmer and former Army medic Elara Quinn vanishes during a deadly storm, she awakens on the shores of a Viking settlement in the tenth century. Far from everything she has ever known, Elara must learn to survive in a world of raiders, longships, and ancient traditions while searching for a way home.

But the sea has other plans.

Strange storms gather beyond the horizon. Ghostly travelers appear within impossible waves. An ancient black ship rises from the depths carrying the memories of the lost. And everywhere she turns, the sea whispers the same name:

Tidebound.

As mysteries deepen and danger closes in, Elara finds an unexpected ally in Eirik, a respected Viking war leader haunted by his own past. Together they uncover clues pointing toward a forgotten legend, a vanished traveler, and a power hidden beneath the waves that threatens both their worlds.

The closer Elara comes to finding a path home, the more she realizes that some journeys change more than where you belong.

They change who you are.

Perfect for readers who love epic adventure, Viking mythology, time travel, slow-burn romance, and sweeping fantasy mysteries, Tidebound: The Storm That Took Her is the unforgettable first book in a saga where the sea remembers everything.

The sea had taken her. But it wasn't finished with her yet.
