The Sorcerer's Sourdough - A Culinary Quest to Seal Hell's Gate

Lauren Mckenzie

Sinopse

Sixteen-year-old Adair Mallory dreams of inheriting his grandmother's legendary baking skills in the idyllic village of Petriche. But his apprenticeship takes a dark turn when his eccentric mentor reveals a terrifying secret: their sourdough starter, "The Mother," is the key to sealing a demonic portal.  When the seal is shattered by the Crimson Chefs, a cult obsessed with culinary carnage, Adair must embark on a perilous quest to bake a new loaf infused with ancient magic and reseal the gateway to hell.His journey begins in the comforting warmth of his grandmother’s kitchen, a sanctuary of culinary wisdom and forgotten lore. Guided by his grandmother’s worn journal, filled with cryptic recipes and whispered family secrets, Adair must gather mythical ingredients: flour from spectral wheatfields, honey from carnivorous bees, and a single, iridescent tear from the capricious sea goddess, Avani.  Along the way, he is joined by Frances Benson, a wizened herbalist whose knowledge of forgotten remedies and the language of plants proves invaluable as they navigate a world increasingly tainted by demonic influence.But the Crimson Chefs, led by the chillingly charismatic Chef Morian, hunt Adair relentlessly, their twisted culinary creations spreading corruption and despair. As Adair hones his baking skills, he discovers a hidden power within his own bloodline, a magic intimately connected to the very act of creation. He learns that true baking is not just technique, but an act of intention, a way to channel life and resilience against encroaching darkness.In the ruins of a forgotten temple, Adair faces Morian in a final, epic culinary duel. As the scent of freshly baked bread clashes with the sulfurous stench of the abyss, Adair must harness the magic of The Mother and his ancestral power to bake a loaf that will determine the fate of his village and seal the demon lord Malkor back in the abyss.  For Adair, baking is no longer just a dream, but a weapon, a shield, and the last hope for a world teetering on the brink of culinary chaos.

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."
 
In Book 2, secrets about Tony’s mother, Adrian’s fate, and the rogue Alpha’s disappearance begin to unravel—revealing a truth far darker than they ever imagined.
