Swallowed Star

Seventeen-year-old Rune Weaver thought his biggest problem was surviving senior year at New Haven High. Then a shadow creature attacked him in the school parking lot, and a mysterious man saved his life by throwing fire from his bare hands. Now Rune knows the truth: he is descended from an ancient line of sorcerers called Etherwind, and the darkness that destroyed his ancestors five hundred years ago has returned. He is not alone. Four other teenagers across the city have just discovered their own magical heritage, each from a different Etherwind bloodline. Together they are the last hope against Grimfall, an ancient force of living darkness that feeds on fear and despair. But learning magic is not like the movies. Their powers are wild and dangerous, and every spell they cast brings them closer to the madness that consumed their ancestors. As the shadows spread across New Haven, turning ordinary people into mindless thralls, Rune and his unlikely allies must master their abilities before Grimfall completes its return. They have six weeks until the convergence, when the barrier between worlds falls completely. Six weeks to become the sorcerers their bloodlines demand. Six weeks to save everyone they love from being swallowed by eternal night.

At the age of fourteen, every member has to undergo the awakening ceremony. This day can change your destiny if you awaken a good talent then you will be like a rising star but if you awakened a bad talent then your life would be very ordinary.

When the Veil shattered, the world did not end in fire—it ended in monsters. Demons poured from the skies, and ancient Gods dropped their fractured Divine Seeds to the earth, seeking mortal vessels. Ronan was a dead man walking, his chest crushed in a demon ambush. But as his blood soaked the earth, the Seed of Primordial Eros chose him. It offered him the power to rip demons apart with his bare hands, but the toll was absolute: his godhood is fueled by passion, and his domain is the bed. To harness his devastating power, Ronan must forge "Soul-Covenants"—deep physical, emotional, and spiritual bonds with women of latent magical bloodlines. They become his Divine Chalices; the deeper their intimacy, the more invincible he becomes. But Ronan is not the only vessel. In the ruined capital of Aethelgard, Malakai—a ruthless tyrant who swallowed the Seed of the Grave—builds an empire of the undead, enslaving both humans and demons alike. This is no longer a tale of survival in a broken world. It is a war between ascending gods. Witness Ronan’s bloody ascent from a broken victim to an apex predator, and the founder of a brutal new civilization built upon passion, blood, and devastating betrayals.

Adanna Cole, a rising star in criminal law, has devoted her career to hunting the powerful crime syndicate that murdered her parents when she was 12. She finally gets her chance when the police arrest Ethan Cross, a charming, enigmatic businessman suspected of laundering money for the very syndicate she’s been chasing. But as she digs deeper, she discovers two dangerous truths: Ethan might be the only man she’s ever truly loved. He might also be guilty. She doesn’t know if he’s her greatest ally… or the enemy she’s been chasing all along. The deeper they go, the more the line between love and betrayal blurs. And in a city built on lies, trusting the wrong person could be the last mistake she ever makes.

Kim Do-hyun was just another potato in the crowd—an anxious college nobody waiting to fail the Awakening Program. But when the portal swallowed him, his identity shattered, and a new life took root. Now he is Han Tae-yang: a street fighter, failed streamer, and accidental legend who spent a decade trapped in Divine Tower of Gods, the cruelest game ever made. Everyone else quit. He climbed fifty floors alone. And then the game became reality. Relics bleed into the real world. Monsters walk in daylight. Governments scramble, corps rise, guilds rise, and hunters kill for scraps. Yet through chaos, one name spreads like wildfire: Loner. With sarcasm sharper than any blade, a ghost bride as his sister’s familiar, and a system that can copy powers, Tae-yang dismantles the new world one relic at a time. While others beg for safety or riches, he plots in the shadows—because for him, survival isn’t enough. He’ll break the tower. He’ll burn the system. And he’ll drag the gods themselves down with him. Action-packed. Darkly hilarious. Brutally clever. If Solo Leveling married Super Gene and raised a snarky delinquent kid, this is it.
