The Silver Sword - Aethelgard's Promise

A Ai, Josha Benton

Summary

The world ended not with fire, but with a choked gasp.  New Camelot, once a beacon of technological prowess, is now a skeletal husk against an ash-grey sky.  Nineteen-year-old Caspian Arthur, heir to a legacy he barely understands, unearths the Silver Sword, a relic of a bygone era that whispers of both hope and destruction.  Haunted by fragmented memories of the Cataclysm, he carries the weight of his lineage and the burden of a broken world.Caspian is not alone.  Eleanor Vance, a brilliant but embittered engineer, sees the Silver Sword as a key to unlocking the secrets of the lost technology that consumed her family.  Silas Quinn, a blind librarian, navigates the ruined world through sound and touch, clinging to the tattered remnants of knowledge as a path to rebuilding.  Together, they embark on a perilous journey to Aethelgard, a mythical oasis rumored to hold the key to ecological restoration.Their path is shadowed by Kai, a charismatic warlord who sees the Cataclysm as a necessary cleansing.  He covets the Silver Sword and the power it represents, his technologically augmented hunters stalking Caspian’s every move.Aethelgard, when they finally reach it, is not the paradise they envisioned.  It is a biodome, a pre-Cataclysm project harboring a dangerous secret: the very technology that caused their downfall.  This discovery fractures their fragile alliance. Eleanor, consumed by her desire to understand the past, is drawn to the technology's seductive promises. Silas, horrified by the implications, warns against repeating history’s mistakes. Caspian, torn between hope and fear, must choose his path.As Kai lays siege to Aethelgard, Caspian faces an impossible decision: unleash the technology and risk another cataclysm, or surrender and condemn the world to Kai’s tyrannical rule.  He discovers that the Silver Sword is not a weapon, but a conduit, a tool for channeling the life force of Aethelgard. The battle for the oasis becomes a battle for the soul of their world, a clash of ideologies that will determine the fate of humanity.  Can Caspian harness the power of the Silver Sword, not to conquer, but to heal?  Or will the whispers of the past condemn them to repeat their tragic history?

Alpha Nicholas - Marked As Your...

Becky J

"The first night I saw you I fought every emotion, every instinct and I was a fool for doing it. The moment I laid eyes on you I should have claimed you, thrown you over my shoulder and brought you up to our room to mate and mark you. You should already be wearing my mark and officially be known as the Luna of this pack but I didn't do any of that. Instead, I walked away like a fucking idiot and worst of all I hurt you when I had no right to. Every day I wish I could go back to that day and change how I reacted but I can't, and so now I have to pay for my behaviour and that means waiting until you are ready to accept me as your mate and my Luna, until you are ready to wear my mark."

The Alpha Who Saved Me

Stacy Rush

They came in and wiped out my pack, leaving me an orphan at the age of fifteen, but then Alpha Declan came in and saved me, bringing me into his own pack. I've been living with the Storm River pack for three years now, training and learning how to fight, so when the time comes, I can kill the Alpha that took my family and pack away from me.But what do you do when you start to fall for the one who saved you to begin with? The one that took you under his wing when you had nothing left? The one who kissed you first, and made you feel things that you didn't feel before? I shouldn't be with him; he isn't my mate. I've yet to scent my mate, but Declan is too delicious to pass up. He's already saved me once, but can he save me from falling for him when I know my Goddess-given mate is out there somewhere?
 
I feel us moving and then I’m being placed on the hood of his Tesla. This puts me so my core is up against his hardness, and oh my Goddess, he feels monstrous! It’s a good thing that I’m not his mate, because I don’t think I’d be able to take it. It doesn’t stop me from rubbing against it, though, as tingles begin to form, and I moan.“That’s it, sweetheart, rub yourself against me and come for me. I want to see what you look like when you fall apart in my arms.” His command washes over me and I come instantly.
