Thriller

Ashes of Her Name Some names are written in love, others in blood… When Clara Sterling returns to Hollow Creek — a town haunted by whispers and buried secrets — she intends to confront the ghost that’s haunted her for twenty years: the unsolved murder of her mother, and the father who vanished without a trace. But Hollow Creek is a place where memories bleed, lies linger, and no secret stays buried forever. Thrown into the path of Damien Creed, a brooding and enigmatic heir with shadows of his own, Clara finds herself entangled in a web of betrayal, forbidden desires, and long-forgotten sins. Together, they unravel cryptic clues and forbidden letters, piecing a truth the town fought to bury. As Clara draws closer to the identity of her mother’s killer, she uncovers a conspiracy darker than she ever imagined — one tied to the very roots of Hollow Creek. Loyalties will shatter. Love will be tested. And in a town built on secrets, the truth may be the deadliest thing of all. Ashes of Her Name is a breathtaking blend of romance, mystery, and spine-chilling suspense — a story about how sometimes, to find yourself, you have to burn down everything you thought you knew.

We are byproducts of the environments we were raised from. Childhood traumas shape how we interact with other people later in our lives if we fail to heal. This is a story about how childhood traumas like the father wound impact a woman's sense of self-worth, attachment style, and choice of partners.

In a world ruled by gods, witches, and curses, the women of House Liroid carry both power and tragedy in their blood. Born of pain and bound to darkness, their lineage is destined to change the fate of kingdoms. From Eyela, a betrayed maiden who becomes the dreaded tree-goddess Evilside, to Heartless and Dark Side, daughters who inherit both gifts and curses, the story of the Liriods is one of love, vengeance, sacrifice, and forbidden passion. But when the old gods return to challenge their rise, and when love collides with prophecy, the question remains: can they rewrite a destiny written in grief, or will they forever be prisoners of their cursed bloodline?

They thought he was dead. They buried the truth with his name. But legends don’t die—they go dark. Darius Raines, code-named “Ghost,” was the government’s best weapon—an elite hacker and black-ops operative until the day he vanished in a fiery car explosion. Officially pronounced dead, Darius walked away from the lies, burned everything that tethered him to the system, and became a shadow in a city drowning in corruption. Five years later, Atlanta is a battleground. Billion-dollar empires are built on secrets, bodies disappear with no questions asked, and the same corrupt officials who tried to kill Darius now run the city from behind closed doors. But Ghost is back. And he’s not here for mercy. With a custom-built AI surveillance system and a hidden network of rogue insiders, Darius launches an all-out war against the syndicate that turned his life into a lie. His mission? Expose the Ghost Code—a black-file project that links murder, money laundering, and mind control to the highest levels of government. The catch? The only person who can help him unlock it is Amira Cole—the one woman who once believed in him and now believes he’s a traitor. Hunted by law enforcement, betrayed by his own team, and forced into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with the most dangerous man in America, Darius must choose: Save the city or save his soul. The Ghost Code is an urban mystery thriller that will grip your throat and refuse to let go. Full of brutal twists, high-tech warfare, street justice, psychological warfare, and a heart-wrenching romance, this is not just a fight for redemption—it’s a war for the truth. And in Darius’s world, the truth is never free.
