  On the wings of night owls over Somnuswood, where nocturnal witches whisper spells in hooted incantations and dream weavers thread slumbers with ethereal silk, witch Nyx forges an affinity with weaver Morpheus, whose dreams entangle her waking shadows. Their whispers, carried in feathered vows, weave night into dawn—or unravel the veil between sleep and reality. As they soar through owl-shaded canopies and dream-woven nests, haunted by nightmare harpies and wakeful sentinels, Nyx's nocturnal magic blends with Morpheus's slumber craft, revealing a night owl legend of dawned affinity. When a silenced hoot summons insomnia shades, they must whisper the weave to bridge the realms. In the flight of winged whispers, where every feather cradles a secret and every thread dreams of light, their affinity becomes the night that kisses the dawn.

  What if the greatest threat to your safety was the one who swore to protect you? 
  He took the job for its simplicity. A bodyguard with no name, no backstory, and no questions asked. His instructions were clear: watch, wait, protect. No one told him who he was protecting, and at first, he didn’t care. It was just another job. 
  But this was no ordinary assignment. 
  His boss trusts him completely, blindly even—an unwavering faith that defies all logic. Yet, deep down, he knows he doesn’t deserve it. He’s the first to admit he’s not the smartest man, and he’s certainly not the most qualified for the job. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is keeping his boss safe… at any cost. 
  He’s willing to do anything—lie, manipulate, even sabotage his boss’s dreams—all in the name of safety. Because in his mind, the world is a dangerous place, full of risks that are better left unchallenged. And if that means his boss lives a life half-lived, well, that’s a price he’s willing to pay. 
  But what happens when the man he’s protecting starts to wake up? When he begins to see the cage built around him, crafted not out of malice, but out of misguided love? 
  What happens when the protector becomes the prisoner? 
  A Simple Guard is a psychological thriller that takes you deep into the mind of a man whose greatest enemy might just be himself. A masterfully woven tale of loyalty, control, and the thin line between love and obsession. 
  Will he let go before it’s too late? 
  Or will his loyalty turn lethal? 
  Dive into this gripping tale of trust, paranoia, and the shadows lurking within. Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers and mind-bending narratives.

  Will didn’t plan to eat a stinkbug. But when his friend Darryl called new kid Eloy Herrera a racial slur, Will did it as a diversion. Now Will is Bug Boy, and everyone is cracking up inventing insect meals for him, like French flies and maggot-aroni and fleas. 
  Turns out eating bugs for food is a real thing called entomophagy. Deciding that means he can use a class project to feed everyone grasshoppers, Will bargains for Eloy’s help in exchange for helping him with wrestling, but their growing friendship only ticks off Darryl more. 
  Will may have bitten off more than he can chew as crickets, earthworm jerky—even a scorpion—end up on his plate, but insects are the least of his problems. When things between Darryl and Eloy heat up, Will wrestles with questions of loyalty and honor—and learns that maybe not all friendships are worth fighting for.
