Knigtmare_tracks
Book 2 of the Noctirum Series The events of Noctirum still go on. The story that began in another world has come crashing back into their own. Shivam and his friends thought the nightmare was over. They were wrong. Back in Delhi, their life should have gone back to normal. The streets are alive, the city hums with the illusion of peace, and the memories of that broken future should have been left behind. But shadows don't fade so easily. Strange signs are appearing. Dreams bleed into waking hours. And deep beneath the noise of everyday life, something old and dangerous is stirring. The scars they carry from Noctirum are not just wounds of the past-they are warnings. With every step, Shivam feels the weight of a destiny he cannot shake, while his friends begin to sense that the line between their world and the one, they left behind is breaking. As new threats close in and the cost of survival grows heavier, bonds will be tested, choices will cut deeper, and the truths they've been running from may decide the fate of more than just themselves. The Reckoning isn't coming. It's already here.

The mafia demon’s phantom wife

"A magical assassin must marry a half-demon mafia boss to save her brother." She can walk through any door in the world, but she can’t outrun the man who owns the shadows—or the beast that claims her blood. Charlène Laurent is a phantom of the Italian underworld—a high-end assassin with a lethal signature: a blackened-gold key that turns any locked door into a portal. To buy time for her dying brother, Charlène has sold her soul to a monster, vanishing before the blood of her targets even cools. She is a Ghost, known only by her icy-grey eyes and the mark of the man who owns her. Viktor Morozov is that man. A Russian Don who is more animal than human, Viktor is cursed by the night—a predatory werewolf who rules through terror and obsession. He doesn't just want Charlène’s skills; he wants to ruin her. He has branded her with his initials and kept her brother on a literal leash of medicine and machines. To Viktor, Charlène is a "Doll" to be played with until she breaks. Lucien De Rossi is the ruthless heir to a modern empire and a man struggling to remain human. Born of a forbidden union between a mafia king and a daughter of the devil, Lucien is a half-demon prince with fire in his veins. He has never felt a spark for any woman—until he dances with a mysterious "Ghost" at a masquerade. For the first time, his inner demon falls silent. The hunt turns personal when Charlène is sent to kill Lucien. But how do you kill a man who heals as fast as you can cut him? Caught in his trap, Charlène is forced into a marriage of convenience. Now, she is caught in a war between two monsters: the Demon who has turned her world into a gilded cage, and the Wolf who is coming to take back what he thinks is his property. One wants to protect her. The other wants to devour her. And Charlène? She just wants to survive the night.

Clumsy Eight-Tailed Fox with Her Fourth Husband

Marriage means different things to different people. For Thalia Kim, it means survival. Five years ago, she died on her wedding night. Not in a dramatic, metaphorical way, but quite literally, with a broken bottle driven straight into her heart. She had only been doing what she always did. Men could never fully handle her, and they rarely stayed conscious after. So when her third husband went still, she assumed he had fainted, just like the others. He hadn’t. He opened his eyes, saw something he shouldn’t have, and panicked. Before her power could take effect, everything went wrong. That was how she lost her first tail. Now she only has eight left, and worse, her core is already starting to break. If it collapses completely, even a year would be considered lucky. So yes, she needs to get married again—not for love, not for happiness, but simply to stay alive long enough to become human. The plan is simple: find someone, get married, survive. It would have worked. If she hadn’t proposed to William Carter. A man her sister is clearly afraid of. A man who does not look like someone she can control. And more importantly, a man who should have refused without a second thought. But he didn’t. He said yes! Just like that, without hesitation, without question, as if the decision had already been made long before she even asked. Now, things are already starting to go wrong. Her ability doesn’t work on him. She doesn’t know what he wants. And he doesn’t seem like the kind of man who makes careless decisions. Which leaves her with one very inconvenient problem... This marriage might keep her alive. Or it might end exactly the way her last one did.
