After the death of his father, Shen Zhihao became the worthy successor as the supreme leader of the Yinhai sect. A prestigious position that should have brought him admiration and perhaps envy from his peers. Due to his beauty and composure, everything indicated that Shen Zhihao should become a role model for the rest of the disciples, an unparalleled hero who would look after the well-being of all those under his roof.... more>>

However, few were aware that Shen Zhihao, aside from being the capricious son of his progenitor, was a two-legged rat (not literally) who did not hesitate to impose his will (literally) on all those he considered his inferiors. A true tyrant.

A dictator who did not anticipate that eventually the day would come when his exiled elder brother would return from the dead to snatch away what rightfully belonged to him. Finding himself with no clear way to defeat him, Shen Zhihao would have no choice but to venture into the unknown, traveling to another universe with the aim of finding the chosen one who could secure his stay on the throne of Yinhai.

However, he did not expect that once he arrived in this other world, the promised ally had been dead for thirteen years. Instead, there was only an individual named Zhao Xian. A descendant of the man who was supposed to help him and whose combat skills could be described as close to zero.

To make matters worse, the portal through which Shen Zhihao arrived on this mission of seeking help closed, and with no way to communicate with his clan, how could he return?

Will Zhao Xian be his salvation after all, or will both of them end up being each other's downfall? <<less

If there were an emergency number for adulthood, Matt Kincaid would have dialed it months ago. Raising his kid brother alone is already an uphill battle, nevermind when an ugly gang initiation lands the teen in lockup. Again. Only, this time for a hate crime against a local fight club, where settling debts isn’t taken lightly. When the club offers to let Matt risk everything in a long-shot match with a man who’s as brutally handsome as he is tough, he jumps at the chance.... more>>

If Matt wins, all will be forgiven. If not? Well, he might as well move in, because ‘The Law’ will own his ass...for a very long time.

There are no limits to what Lawson ‘The Law’ Gaumond will do to protect the club he and his former lovers built. An inner-city sanctuary where Anniston Falls’ gay leather culture thrives, The Asylum Fight Club isn’t an easy place, but it’s home.

When renewed gang violence erupts, spilling blood over The Asylum, Lawson and Matt must confront their pasts to find a way forward. Gunshots and knives should be harder to survive than this rough love, but coming to the ring armed with nothing but the truth is their greatest challenge of all. <<less

There’s a fact that every trillionaire in the Terran Accord knows: Power on Antares always comes with a price. And it was true; almost every position of power within the jurisdiction of the Antares Authority had some sort of string attached. ... more>>

Yet an entire third of the Antares Authority’s budget is exempt from public scrutiny, a gigantic bucket of odds and ends that the masses aren't allowed to know any details on. It's a glaring exception to the rule. Accountability is completely impossible. The money is poured down a hole and not subject to any form of oversight. Nobody knows a single thing they do — not even the very legislators who approve it, every single year, without failure. Whoever is in charge of this is one glaring exception to this rule: They have power without a price. Or so it seems…

This is the story of the Department of Autonomy, and their struggle preparing for a threat beyond their wildest nightmares. <<less

Cyan had always taken guilty pleasure in reading romantic novels, especially those with a cliché premise such as a runaway bride and a stand-in who must take her place and pretend to be her. There were always two outcomes to these types of novels. A: The male lead falls in love with the impostor or B: The male lead finds out and yearns for the female lead who has gotten together with their rival that may or may not be related to them. The plots were always the same and were never much of a surprise, but they had always been a guilty pleasure for her to consume after a hard days work.
... more>> 40px;"> That's all they had ever been for Cyan Donaghy before, just a guilty pleasure that she hid from others. That is until she had transmigrated into such a novel as the titular character: Zhao Yan Lin.

Hi, author here! This is going to be a mini novella-type novel. There will only be around 10 or so chapters of this series depending on how editing goes. It's pretty fast-paced so if you're expecting a slow burn this isn't it. I wrote it as a quick one-shot/story outline but maybe I'll try to expand it into a full story one day. <<less

Forensic anthropologist, Decca, is no stranger to death. Between traveling all over the state of Tennessee to study skeletal remains, responding to mass casualty events with her team, and sitting in bedside vigils as a death doula in her "time off," she's run herself ragged in her attempt to avoid living her own life. ... more>>

Putting in more hours meant not thinking about her love life. Or lack of one. Until now, it's been easy.

Her good friend, Gus, has just graduated from Greek Orthodox seminary and in order to be ordained as a priest, he must marry--or else serve as a monk.

Convincing herself it's purely out of the goodness of her heart, the ever-practical Decca proposes a marriage-of-convenience. He needs a wife; and she could definitely use someone to talk to (other than the 250-year-old skeleton she's piecing together on her dining room table.)

But, she didn't really think he'd say yes!

When the bride and groom start to catch feelings for each other, that could be the end of their cozy situation. But if they find the right framework--the bones of love--it could be their key to happiness. <<less

Hello everyone, since I feel I should make it clear, I want to say that this story is written from the perspective of a marginalized... more>> trans Indigenous woman. As the author, and a trans woman of Chippewa First Nations, I ask that my readers please not ask me to elaborate on any creatures I may add and to enjoy the story with me as I write it.

Ana takes a walk upriver one day to clear her head atop some hills. As she is thinking of her family and community's support, she is stricken with grief at the same time. She and her family do not have the money to pay for her surgery, and the waiting list feels like it is only getting longer. When she is using all her strength not to cry, a strong wind blows down from the mountains across the river and she feels the world twist around her. She almost blacks out and tries to stand up, bleary and lightheaded.
When she feels odd enough about how her vision isn't getting any clearer, she returns home only to find that her own family do not recognize her. Looking more closely, she barely recognizes herself as her body has changed, but so has everyone and everything around her. What has happened and why is everyone speaking like it's the 90s? And why is her uncle driving a car spewing lightning from the exhaust?
The changes have only just begun and Ana has yet to see an entire world changed into a strange mimicry of the one she once knew, with a technologically regressed British Colony who rely on industrialization and magic, and a corporate America that extracts magic instead of oil. But the biggest change? The indigenous territories she calls home are larger and more united, while the British Colonies of Canada are still trying to purchase more land for their own, while harming the communities that exist within currently occupied land. <<less
