We Were Close, Yet Miles Apart

For seven hundred years, the Carsen Empire stood untouchable—a dynasty carved in war, forged in blood, and ruled by the vision of a single man: Delecto K. Carsen. He did the impossible—ended a decade of war without staining his hands with innocent blood. His empire thrived. Until now. Until everything collapsed. The Northern Duke and Duchess—dead. Their son, Alex Luxembourg—seventeen, unprepared, and drowning in a kingdom that no longer respects him. His father’s land? Starving. Rotting. On the verge of rebellion. His enemies? Laughing. Waiting. Circling like vultures. Then comes the final blow. Bandits attack. Supplies vanish. Famine tightens its grip. The people cry out, and Alex reaches for the Emperor’s aid—only to watch it be stolen before his very eyes. This is no ordinary raid. Someone from within is feeding the enemy. A noble. A traitor. A snake in silk robes. And now, the Emperor speaks. Fix this. Or be erased from history. The solution? Marriage. A bond between Alex and Maria Morgan, the daughter of the most dangerous man in the empire. A deal that shackles Alex to a future he never wanted, with a woman he cannot trust. Is she a savior or a spy? A pawn, or a queen waiting to strike? The game is set. The court is filled with smiling assassins. The empire holds its breath. Now, Alex must do the impossible—outwit the wolves, find the traitor, save his people… and survive the throne that was never meant to be his. Because in the Carsen Empire, power isn’t given. It’s taken. And if Alex isn’t careful, he won’t just lose his land. He’ll lose his life.

In the Silence I Found You

Sidharth never believed in fate—until the night he saw "her". A fleeting glimpse at Marine Drive was all it took for his world to turn upside down. She was a mystery wrapped in moonlight, her deep, unreadable eyes pulling him into an obsession he couldn't explain. With his childhood friend Akhil by his side, Sid embarks on an unexpected journey through the bustling streets of Mumbai, chasing after a woman who seems to appear and disappear like a whisper in the wind. But when fate brings them face to face again—at an unexpected place, on an ordinary night—she leaves him with nothing but a cryptic message: "If it’s meant to be, we’ll see each other again." Who is she? Why does she keep slipping away? And why does Sid feel as if he’s known her long before that first night? As Sid desperately seeks answers, his path intertwines with Tanvi, a sharp-witted and enigmatic woman who seems to know more than she lets on—especially about the girl he’s chasing. Meanwhile, Akhil finds himself caught in Tanvi’s own web of mystery, making him question whether fate is playing tricks on them all. What begins as an infatuation turns into a psychological labyrinth of fate, love, and unspoken truths. As the nights grow longer and the city hums with untold secrets, Sid must decide: is he following destiny, or is he being led into something far more mysterious than love? A story of obsession, longing, and the delicate threads that tie souls together—until fate decides to unravel them.

CODE: ZERO

If you're a fan of fantasy and action, then this book is for you. ...     In the dawn of time, humanity was blessed with extraordinary abilities known as "Tenzen." This power gave rise to the art of Sorcery, elevating humans to unprecedented heights of power and dominance over the earth's creatures. For eons, humans lived in a world where sorcery was a part of everyday life. They used their powers to build, create and explore, wielding their powers to achieve greatness. However, a thousand years ago, things took a dark turn. Mysterious, non-human entities emerged, inhabiting the land and preying on humans. These creatures, dubbed "demons," sparked a brutal war between humans and the demonic forces, causing great destruction. However, despite their valiant efforts, human sorcerers suffered heavy losses, unable to counter the demons' overwhelming might.   Then the unthinkable happened: the arrival of the demonic army's archon, "The Great Aidra." He was unlike any demon humans had ever seen. This powerful demon king wreaked havoc on humanity, annihilating the largest continent and its inhabitants with a single attack. The aftermath was devastating: two-thirds of the human population perished, and 50,000 sorcerers vanished without a trace. The day of Aidra's manifestation became the darkest in human history, and after that day, Aidra was never seen again. Five centuries after Aidra's attack, humanity teetered on the brink of extinction. In response, sorcerers worldwide united to form the World Association of Sorcerers (WAS). This organization united sorcerers from all over the world, giving humans a fighting chance against their age-long enemies. With its headquarters in Berlin, Germany, and branches globally, humans began to fight back. A new era of hope dawned, promising an end to the carnage and torment. But despite the progress they'd made, lingering mysteries continued to haunt the minds of sorcerers: where was Aidra, the demon king? ... I hope y'all enjoy this book. It's my first work, and I assure you, you are in for action, mysteries, humor and fun.

Dominion of Shadow

In a world ruled by power-hungry sects and ancient clans, the Netherborn Dominion was once a force of unmatched might, harnessing the chaotic energy of the Abyss. But betrayal led to its fall, its name whispered only in fear and forgotten tales. Now, centuries later, the Obsidian Altar awakens, its dark power rekindled by the return of the Eternal Sovereign—a figure of legend and terror. Gathering a band of outcasts, wanderers, and the desperate, the Sovereign begins to rebuild the Dominion, determined to reclaim its place at the pinnacle of the world. Kael, a young cultivator cursed with untamed dark Qi, is drawn into the Sovereign’s enigmatic fold. With each battle, trial, and deadly mission, Kael learns that power demands sacrifice, and the Abyss takes as much as it gives. Alongside hardened allies like Ryn, a blade-sharp warrior haunted by loss, and Sylas, a rogue whose wit hides deadly precision, Kael must navigate a world of shifting loyalties and escalating war. As the Emberlight Clan rises against them, the Dominion sets its sights on relics of the past—artifacts that could tip the balance of power. But the Abyss is no passive force. It whispers promises of greatness even as it reveals Kael’s darkest fears. The path of the Abyss is one of chaos and conquest, but the question remains: can Kael and the Dominion control its power—or will it consume them all? "Dominion of Shadows" is a tale of dark fantasy, power, and redemption, where alliances are forged in fire, strength is tested in shadow, and the price of ambition may be the soul itself.
