The Codex of Forgotten Souls - A Tapestry of Whispers

Jamie Ellisons

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

Veritas, a city of gleaming towers and whispered secrets, hides a truth buried beneath layers of manufactured reality.  Seventeen-year-old Milo Harper, a mage apprentice, feels the dissonance, the echo of a raw, untamed magic pulsing beneath the city's glittering facade.  He yearns for a connection to this forgotten power, a resonance with Veritas’s hidden heart.  The discovery of a hidden alley, a doorway etched with ancient glyphs, leads him to the Library of Lost Memories, a realm beyond time and space where forgotten histories whisper within shimmering crystal orbs and ancient scrolls.  At the library’s heart lies the Codex of Forgotten Souls, a tome of immense power that both terrifies and enthralls.Touching a single orb unleashes a torrent of forgotten magic, transforming Milo into something more, something other.  He is becoming the key to unlocking Veritas’s suppressed past, a power the Obsidian Veil, a clandestine organization dedicated to maintaining the city's fabricated peace, will stop at nothing to control. Ruth Wilson, an agent whose obsidian eyes reflect a lifetime of buried secrets, hunts Milo with ruthless efficiency, her loyalty to the Veil fueled by a personal tragedy she believes the forgotten magic caused.Within the library's ethereal labyrinth, Milo finds an unlikely mentor in Claire Riley, the enigmatic keeper whose past is as intricately woven into the library as the threads of a forgotten tapestry.  On the city streets, Kaitlin Lawrence, a rebellious street artist, uses vibrant murals to subtly awaken the city’s slumbering consciousness, her art a silent rebellion against the Veil's manipulations. Daniel Bryant, a historian haunted by a fragmented family memory, desperately searches for answers in Veritas’s obscured past, his quest leading him to Milo and the growing resistance.Each memory Milo unlocks binds them together, revealing not only the city’s secrets but their own hidden connections to its forgotten heart. They uncover a conspiracy that reaches back centuries, to a vanished civilization and imprisoned gods whose influence still subtly shapes the city's fate.  But accessing the past comes at a cost. Each touch fragments Milo’s own identity, blurring the lines between who he is and who he was.  He must choose: embrace the power and risk shattering his own soul, or surrender to the Veil and condemn Veritas to an eternity of manufactured reality.  The fate of Veritas, and perhaps reality itself, rests on his fractured shoulders.

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.

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."

Drew J Kyle

A star quarterback with a legacy to uphold. A fiery activist with a past to avenge. The line between love and hate is about to snap.

Caelen "Cael" Holt has spent his life a pawn in his family’s game, a golden boy with a secret. He's a star quarterback with a cold exterior, and the only thing he craves is to escape. But his carefully constructed world is shattered when a campus protest pits him against the one person who sees right through his carefully crafted mask: Rhys Thorne.

Rhys Thorne is driven by a need for justice, fueled by a deep-seated anger at the company that ruined his family. He sees Cael as the physical embodiment of the corruption he despises. So when fate forces them into the same dorm room, their rivalry explodes into a war of words, turning their shared space into a tense battlefield.

But in the quiet hours after the shouting, something else begins to simmer beneath the surface—a raw, undeniable attraction that defies logic. As their feud becomes a public spectacle, Rhys and Cael are forced to choose between the roles they’ve always played and a partnership that could change everything.

Step into the visceral, high-stakes world of Brutal Desires, a story where genuine connection can break down the most deeply ingrained biases.
