“Manuel Salazar, you are under arrest for the disappearance of Mrs. Cassidy Jones," the police officer said as he handcuffed me. Manuel Salazar is a sex worker, a male prostitute who fucks the wives of the most popular men in Manhattan. He was the last person to see Cassidy alive after they spent the night at their usual spot, but he didn't kill her; he was being framed, but who would believe him?

His lawyer Jill Baker is one of the best criminal attorneys in New York, and she suspects foul play, she is his only chance to walk away acquitted of all charges. The clock is ticking.

Spencer Ford was a ghost in his own life, overlooked, underestimated, forgotten. Until the day death reached for him… and missed. Surviving a fatal accident grants him a power that shouldn’t exist, the God of War Physique, an instinctive mastery of martial arts that experts spend decades to achieve. But fate isn’t done with him. A second brush with death awakens something even rarer, a divine healing gift capable of rewriting life and death itself. Now the world that once ignored him is desperate to claim him. Or kill him. Martial clans want to control him. Medical guilds want to dissect him. A shadowy organization wants his powers erased. From nobody to legend, Spencer must choose what he stands for, and who he becomes. In a world where everyone can awaken a power he became the one they were never prepared for.

'I didn't kill him' I whispered my camera shaking in my hands while I looked at the blood on the marble floor. 'I know' the man in shadows whispered, his voice like velvet on rough ground. 'But the world believes that I did and you are the only one to attest to my innocence'. Elara Vance is a forensic photographer of the wealthy; a woman who sees the truth through a camera lens, and Silas Vane is the heir to a bankrupt empire who lives off the carrion of his enemies (known as the 'Vulture'), but when Elara catches him in the act of a murder she isn't supposed to witness he proposes a deal: either become his bride and his 'Glass Alibi' or she is the next body he will require her to photograph. In a world of predators can the man keeping her prisoner actually be her executioner...or her salvation.

This is a story of betrayal, revenge and most of all, mystery. For the longest time, all I've ever known was... Darkness. I was born and brought up in a family of royals, in a world of thorns and scorn, hate and greed, lies and betrayal, selfishness and parasitism. It wasn't easy surviving on my own but I found my way, in the shadows where I belonged. Many would envy and seek out my lifestyle because it appeared luxurious, and glorious even but it really wasn't. I was trapped in a neverending fight for control and most of all, my life only to see my death encroach slowly, to the point I started having nightmares about it. I was even abandoned by my own father. Well... It didn't matter. Because at the end of the day, I survive in between the light and darkness. I survive... In the shadows.

November 14, 2016. The Empire came to Anadyr for one reason: to fill a quota of despair. Matthew was sixteen. He watched Baron Valentine kill Svetlana with a single thrust, and all he managed was a scratch on the noble's cheek. That scratch was enough to awaken him. Five years later, the boy who buried five people in frozen ground has another name: the Winter Wanderer. Trained by a drunk old soldier, hardened by bears, blood, and solitude, he has become an Illuminated in a world where the Will isn't a gift. You earn it by suffering. Now he's heading north to Alaska, with a familiar sword and one promise left to keep. But the world isn't black and white. It's gray. And in a world ruled by the Empire and the Demon King, killing a single Baron might be the easiest part.

Out of everyone in the room, he was the one chosen to have his wish granted by the devil himself. Except... Elfric didn’t have a wish, or so he thought. It was all a massive misunderstanding — and now there’s a demon living inside him rent-free, whispering in his ear: "What is it you desire most in this world?" In Lauxdale, a city ruled by untouchable aristocrats, the commoners struggle while the nobles stay rich and powerful.

The answer lies in the choice he will make.

Bang! The door was kicked open from the outside and three policemen came in holding guns. “What's happening?” Bruce had never been so confused in his entire life. The police ignored his question as they walked towards him, pointing the guns straight at him as one of them said “Don't try to do anything funny Mr Bruce Ortiz, do not move an inch.” “Hey I don't know what I did, what did I do?” Bruce looked around as though he could see an explanation of this written on the wall somewhere. “Mr Bruce Ortiz, you're under arrest for the theft of $750,000!” “What!” Bruce's eyes opened in shock “What the hell are y'all talking about? I've never stolen anybody's money in my life.”

For three years, I was nothing more than her janitor husband. She sneered at me, her family spat on me, and in the end, she shoved divorce papers into my hands and walked away with another man. But the world didn’t know the truth. I wasn’t just Alexander the nobody. I am Alexanderiel Warrick—the lost Centimillionaire King.

The janitor you mocked is now the King you’ll never touch again.”
