Mystery/Thriller

For seventeen years, Kael Ashryn has lived as an outcast in the Kingdom of Valenor. Branded the "Cursed Child" after his parents died under mysterious circumstances, he is blamed for every tragedy that befalls his village. Shunned, ridiculed, and denied every chance to prove himself, Kael clings to the hope that one day he will earn the acceptance he has always longed for. That hope is destroyed when a sacred relic vanishes from the royal vault. Framed by fabricated evidence and abandoned by everyone he trusted, Kael is convicted of treason and sentenced to a public execution. As he awaits death, an ancient seal buried beneath the execution platform suddenly responds to his blood, awakening the long-forgotten Shadow Monarch Core. The execution grounds erupt into chaos as living shadows slaughter the soldiers, allowing Kael to escape. Branded the greatest threat to humanity, Kael becomes the target of a continent-wide manhunt. Royals, powerful nobles, secret organizations, and mysterious cults all seek to capture him, each hiding motives tied to a forgotten past. While struggling to control his terrifying new abilities, Kael uncovers the truth behind history's greatest lie: the legendary Shadow Monarch was never a tyrant but a hero who sacrificed everything to imprison the ancient Void Sovereign. Joined by unlikely allies—warriors, scholars, mercenaries, and mages burdened with secrets of their own—Kael discovers that his parents were guardians of the ancient seal and that his entire life was orchestrated by those who feared his true heritage. Yet every new power he gains strengthens the whispers of darkness within him, threatening to consume his humanity. As kingdoms fall into war and ancient monsters awaken, Kael must master the shadows without surrendering to them. To save the continent from a returning nightmare, he must uncover the truth before history repeats itself.

Jack, a guy who was never really seen by his family, finally becomes a trillionaire following his late dad's map.

Ethan Hayes was set to inherit everything — until his own family buried him alive to take it. Framed for his grandfather's murder and left for dead at a construction site, he's rescued by a reclusive billionaire and rebuilt over five years into one of the most powerful men in the world. Now Ethan is back in New York under a new identity, dismantling the empire that destroyed him with the help of Isabella Carter, the lawyer who never stopped believing him. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more it unravels: his brother, not his stepmother, has been running the conspiracy all along — and the mentor who saved his life had his own reasons for choosing him. Ethan finally has the power to destroy everyone who wronged him. The only question is what kind of man he'll be when he does.

She buried her husband three years ago. She's been visiting his grave every year since, telling herself the same lie: that grief fades, that closure is real, that Adrian is gone. Then a photo lands in her phone. A billionaire at a gala, laughing at something off camera. Adrian's face, on a stranger's body, wearing a stranger's name. Elena tells herself it's coincidence, until she's sitting across from Damian Voss in his own office and he says her name, a name that was never on her business card. Damian doesn't remember her. He doesn't remember much of anything before the coma that rebuilt him from nothing, a new identity, a new life, built on top of a silence nobody in his life has ever questioned out loud. But somebody built that silence on purpose. And somebody is still protecting it. The closer Elena gets to the truth, the more it costs her, and the more it costs the people around her. Because the man who buried her husband's identity didn't do it to save him. He did it because a dead man can't testify. Some graves don't hold what you buried in them. Some marriages don't end the way you think they did. And some men come back not because they escaped, but because someone finally let them go.
