Battle Of The Grim

Godlove_T
A Dark Fantasy Saga of Betrayed Gods, Cursed Bloodlines, and the Children Who Would Rewrite Fate. From the Pen of Archivist Maren of Hollowmere, Keeper of the Fractured Record. Before the Silence, there was a Song. The world hummed with magic. Death was not an ending, but a gentle transition guided by immortal beings called the Grim, who shepherded souls through the Veil like gardeners tending a beloved garden. Then the Menancers came. Ten of the most powerful mages in history, drunk on ambition and terrified of oblivion, forged a weapon that could bind a Grim to flesh. They ambushed Elian a gentle, starlit shepherd who loved the world more than his own existence and tried to force the secrets of immortality from him. They broke him. But they could not control what they unleashed. Elian's dying act was not to destroy his tormentors. It was to wound the world itself—bleeding its magic dry so that no one could ever wield enough power to unmake creation. The Age of Radiance ended in a single, sorrowful sigh. Now the moon burns violet. Monsters crawl from dungeons that breathe like living things. And children are being born with strange, luminous eyes violet, silver, amber, and rarer colors still. The mages, desperate to hide their guilt, call these children Curselings. Grim-Spawn. Enemies of humanity. The world hunts them. Liora, a girl with storm-colored eyes, escapes a mage's prison to save her friends—and pays the ultimate price. Cael, a boy with one gold eye and one silver, builds a sanctuary from the ruins of a forgotten castle and vows vengeance. Veyne, a child raised in darkness by ghosts, speaks to the dead and chooses to become something more than human. They are not cursed. They are the world's only chance to heal a wound that has festered for centuries. But the mages will burn the world before they admit the truth. "Battle of the Grim" is a sprawling dark fantasy of sacrifice and survival, where the line between hero and villain is drawn in the blood of innocents and the key to salvation has been branded as the enemy.

Her Name Awakens a Slumbering Fate

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

The Devil Who Claimed Me

She hated him for lying to her and kidnapping her. He would burn the world to protect her. “I’d rather die than be owned by you,” I screamed. He approached slowly, his expression cold and unreadable. “You can’t die without my permission.” -------------- Mila Vega, a promising heart surgeon, lived her life on her own terms until she saved a stranger, until she found out the weak and injured man she had brought home was a ruthless devil. Dominic Russo, a mafia king, cold, calculative, untouchable. Mila hated him. She hated him for locking her up, for the way he looked at her as if she belonged to him. ----------- I stepped back as he approached. “You won’t be able to cage me here,” I barked. “I’ll find my freedom.” He sneered, with dangerous light in his eyes. “Try it. You won’t make it past the gate." He didn’t bluff. He wouldn’t let her leave his side, no matter what. Trapped in his dangerous world, Mila should run. But why couldn’t she stop thinking about him? She saw him kill without mercy, yet his eyes softened when they rested on her. His touch was possessive, but protective. ‘Does he love me?’ Her heart raced. In the world ruled by blood and power, with enemies close in from every corner, emotions were luxury. Love couldn’t bloom. Just as she started to wonder if this monster had a heart, she realized his heart was too cold to warm it. She understood she was nothing but his plaything. Mila’s hatred ignited all over again. She wanted to disappear from his world for good. But the man she called a monster, a ruthless killer, might be the only one willing to burn the world to protect her. ------------ He pinched my chin, putting enough force to make me wince. “You will not run again.” I dared to look into his eyes defiantly. “And if I do?” He said in a calm tone. “I’ll bring you back.”
