You know the old rhyme, "Peter, Peter Pumpkin-Eater, had a wife and couldn't keep her..." They made the mistake of mocking Joey Hobin with that song. Joey Hobin, who carved the wooden animals and, at Halloween time, ran Hobin's Hobgoblins. He might be old, but he knew what was what. Or did he?

    The story begins with the narrator describing the night sky as observed over long sleepless nights from his window, in particular that of the Pole Star, Polaris, which he describes as "winking hideously like an insane watching eye which strives to convey some strange message, yet recalls nothing save that it once had a message to convey".
    He then describes the night of the aurora over his house in the swamp, and how on this night he first dreamed of a city of marble lying on a plateau between two peaks, with Polaris above in the night sky. The narrator describes after a while observing motion within the houses and seeing men beginning to populate the streets, conversing to each other in language that he had never heard before but still, strangely, understood. However, before he could learn any more of this city, he awoke. Many times, he would again dream of the city and the men who dwelt within. After a while, the narrator becomes tired of merely existing as an incorporeal observer and desires to establish his place within the city, simultaneously beginning to question his conceptualization of what constituted reality and thus whether this was just a dream or whether it was real. Then, one night, while listening to discourses of those who populate the city, the narrator obtains a physical form: not as a stranger, but as an inhabitant of the city, which he now knew as Olathoë, lying on the plateau of Sarkis in the land of Lomar, which was besieged by an enemy known as the Inutos. While the other men within the city engage in combat with Inutos, the narrator is sent to a watchtower to signal if the Inutos gain access to the city itself. Within the tower, he notices Polaris in the sky and senses it as a malign presence, hearing a rhyme which appears to be spoken by the star...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    “They say art imitates life. 
    But here, art demands the sacrifice of life. 
    The students bleed, 
    and we— 
    we applaud their devotion.” 
    —From the diary of Madame E. 
    Some places remember pain; 
    Not as memory, but as hunger. 
    Not in the way we humans remember, with trauma, 
    but deeper—like a house that groans for what once happened within its wall. 
    There is a ballet academy hidden in the folds of the Carpathians, carved into the woods like a secret no one dares to speak aloud. It welcomes young women dancers from across Europe-those who dream of perfection, of ovations, of fame. 
    But perfection demands sacrifice. And some sacrifices never end. 
    Elisa, our protagonist, arrives at the reclusive ballet academy, 
    tucked away in a forgotten corner of Europe, 
    a place steeped in rigid tradition and unyielding discipline. 
    But it doesn’t take long before the unease begins to seep in. 
    The mirrors do not reflect as they should— 
    Some bleed. 
    The students move with eerie precision, 
    like marionettes whose strings are pulled from somewhere unseen. 
    And then, 
    one by one, 
    they begin to disappear. 
    Inspired by classic European horror films, this chilling and suspenseful tale follows the protagonist, Elisa, as she enrolls in a secluded ballet school located in a remote corner of Europe. There, she begins to experience strange occurrences and gradually uncovers the dark secrets hidden within the school’s elegant façade.

    She tried to change the system. Now she’s questioning how far she’s willing to go to protect her people. 
    Atlanta is under siege. A new, deadly hallucinogenic drug floods the streets, pushed by ruthless cartels and ignored by overwhelmed police. Tamika, a devoted social worker, presents a real plan to clean up her city—but the mayor rejects her proposal. And when the man who killed her parents walks free, she realizes: the system wasn’t built to save people like her. 
    Then a drive-by shooting shatters her world again, and something ancient stirs inside her. 
    A powerful ancestral force awakens within Tamika, revealing supernatural gifts passed down through bloodlines. She’s chosen to become the next Warrior Angel, part of a hidden legacy charged with protecting Black communities from threats both seen and unseen. 
    Now, as the city descends deeper into chaos, Tamika must decide: Is it enough to fight within the system—or will she cross the line into something darker? 
    She hasn’t killed. Not yet. But the question looms over every choice she makes: 
    If killing one dealer could save a neighborhood, would it be worth it? At what point—if ever—is it not okay to kill, to save the lives of others? 
    🔥 Tamika: Warrior Angel is a heart-pounding, genre-bending debut full of ancestral power, spiritual reckoning, urban grit, and emotional truth—written for readers who crave bold heroines, real-world stakes, and the spiritual fire of a people rising.
