Fake Death

For twenty-five years, Benedict Vandross gave everything to the Ashcroft family. He sacrificed his dreams to build their billion-dollar empire, worked tirelessly to protect their legacy, and loved them as if they were his own. Yet to them, he was only the quiet young man who never complained, never refused, and never asked for anything in return. Then the family's "long-lost heir" finally comes home. Overnight, Benedict is cast aside. The father he admired no longer looks his way. The mother who unknowingly cherished him is told to forget him. The sister he protected turns against him. Even the woman who promised to spend her life with him chooses the newly returned heir instead. Humiliated, betrayed, and left with nothing, Benedict walks away without a single word. But the Ashcroft family has made one fatal mistake. The son they abandoned was never an outsider. He is the only one who carries the true Ashcroft blood. As old secrets buried for decades begin to surface, a ruthless conspiracy threatens to destroy the empire from within. The "heir" they welcomed may be nothing more than a carefully placed pawn, while the son they threw away becomes the only man capable of saving everything they hold dear. When the truth is finally revealed, will regret be enough to mend a family that buried its own heir? Or will the man they never valued choose to let their empire fall? Sometimes the greatest betrayal isn't losing your family-- it's discovering they never knew who you truly were.

They thought the past was dead. They were wrong. When Dr. Adrian Cole discovers an extinct plant growing in the forest outside Evergreen City, he knows something impossible is happening. But the plant is only the beginning. Soon, creatures that vanished thousands of years ago begin returning, and a terrifying warning left behind by his father reveals that the danger will grow worse under the full moon. Nobody believes Adrian. Not the authorities, not the scientists, and certainly not the people who think his father's experiments were nothing but madness. With time running out, Adrian joins forces with four teenagers who share his passion for science. Their search for answers leads them to a restricted scientific archive, missing research pages, and a secret powerful enough to change everything they know about the past. Their only hope lies in an unfinished time machine and the truth behind his father's mysterious disappearance. But as the creatures grow more aggressive and Evergreen City edges toward destruction, Adrian discovers that the past has secrets no one was meant to uncover. To save humanity, he must finish what his father started before the world he knows becomes extinct.

On Monday, October 19, 2026, the System descends and eighty percent of humanity is lost within hours. Ethan Cole, a 24-year-old New York barista, is the one person who saw it coming. He died ten years into the apocalypse, impaled on the final frontline, and woke up two minutes before Day One with a decade of combat instinct and perfect knowledge of the future. He claims the First Blood chest and its Mythic passive skill before the tyrant of the Eastern Wastes can. But every move Ethan makes ripples outward. People he saved in his past life now die, and new threats appear that he never faced. His "perfect" knowledge starts to fail, and he realizes the System itself may have been watching him all along.

BLURB Rylan Vane was born a noble but died a nobody. Stripped of his bloodline and cast into the lowest caste of vampire society, he survives in the shadows of the undercity, feeding on vermin and hiding from enforcers who would finish what his family’s betrayers started. He is weak, nameless, and forgotten. But when a brush with death forces him into the forbidden Catacombs of Flesh, he discovers something impossible: a Seal of the First Blood, an ancient heirloom forged by the progenitor of all vampires. The Seal should have destroyed him, instead, it bonded to him, awakening a power no vampire has possessed in a millennia, and a terrifying ability to hear the Echoes of other Seals scattered across the Dominion. Now Rylan must navigate a world that wants him dead. Noble houses will hunt him for the power he carries. The Empress, who has ruled for a thousand years through her own Seal, will see him as a threat to her throne. And the Seals themselves whisper to him, offering power beyond imagination, at a price that may cost him his soul. From the gutters of Nyxara to the heart of the Crimson Throne, Rylan will rise. But the question is not whether he can become powerful enough to survive. The question is what he will become in the process.

He wasn't supposed to remember what it felt like to die. Three centuries ago, Prince Kael Draven was cast as the monster responsible for the Great Demon War. Betrayed by his own father and executed as a public warning, his existence was systematically scrubbed from every history book that mattered. The world knows his name, but they’ve gotten everything wrong. Now he’s back. He’s sixteen, stripped of his power, and attending Eclipse Academy under the identity of a dead boy with a stranger's face. He isn't looking for a throne, and he isn't even looking for revenge, at least not yet. He just wants to understand why the world needed him to be the villain. But the world hasn't forgotten him, even if he can't prove who he is. A sealed sword vibrates with recognition when he passes. A demon exchange student turns pale the moment they lock eyes. And a professor who once investigated his "death" is starting to ask questions that could get them both killed. The lie that ended the war is the same lie that supports everything built in its wake. And the boy they buried is the only person alive who can tear it all down. He isn't just trying to climb the ranks. He's digging up a grave the entire world is standing on.

Action. Face Slapping. Urban They called him a servant, a fraud and a murderer. For twenty-one years, Nathaniel Sinclair believed he was nothing. He was stolen at birth and raised as the adopted son of the wealthy Ashford family, he was treated like dirt beneath their feet. He scrubbed their floors, endured their insults and took the blame for everything that went wrong. And when the golden child, Preston Ashford, killed a man in a drunk driving accident, they forced Nate to take the fall. They held him down and poured whiskey down his throat. They handed him to the police like garbage. But prison gave him something the Ashfords never expected. Now he is free. Now he knows the truth. Now he is coming back. They have no idea they are standing on the edge of a cliff. Nathaniel Sinclair is no longer their scapegoat. He is their reckoning.

Julian Vance, the business emperor of New York, watched his life crumble in a single night. His luxury car was sabotaged and sent plunging into a deadly ravine by a rotten alliance: his stepmother, his stepsister, his own biological father who had poisoned his real mother for the sake of wealth, and Amber Miller — his materialistic fiancée who was nothing more than a power-hungry whore. But death rejected Julian when the [Revenge System] saved his life just one second before the explosion. Legally declared "dead" and left without a single penny, Julian hid his identity under the alias "Ian." At his lowest point, he was saved by Chloe Miller, a poor girl working as a waitress in one of the luxury restaurants owned by the Vance family. Ironically, Chloe was Amber’s distant cousin — the girl who had always been humiliated, trampled on, and treated like trash by Amber, the woman who suddenly became rich after allying herself with Julian’s stepsister. Guided by the System’s missions, Julian built a new empire of wealth from the shadows. He didn’t just reclaim what was rightfully his; using his mysterious identity, he systematically exposed the corruption of his family, uncovered the truth behind his mother’s murder, and secretly became Chloe’s protector. When the night of the Gala Dinner arrived, Julian returned not only to dismantle the Vance empire, but also to lay the entire world at Chloe’s feet — forcing Amber and the whole Vance family to crawl beneath their shadows.

She is Nine. Blade IX of the Nine Abysses. Three hundred years ago Hell erased her name, burned its sigils into her arms, and installed a recitation under her ribs that counts her target's sins until the day she ends him. Her target: Xiao Jin, crown prince of Dalang. Wolf-blooded. Disrespectful. Weighed and found owing. The Moon's blessing makes a wolf prince untouchable to enemy blades. Only his bride can take him: the one who shares his bed and speaks the condemnation in the bridal rite. So Hell sends brides. Two burned before her. Seven was collared and sang for three days. Now Nine walks into the Looking Room wearing a drowned girl's face, meaning to be chosen. He chooses her. Then he laughs at her, a real laugh, the first true thing anyone has given her in three hundred years, and the recitation under her ribs goes silent mid-word. Now she is his chosen bride, one locked door from his bed, with a priest who already knows what she is, a kingdom that believes he murders brides, a Hell that does not forgive failure, and a mission she can no longer remember how to speak. Every chapter ends with something snapping. The only question that matters: which of them breaks first, and into what.
