Legends of the Damned - Villains Who Defied Fate and Conquered All

Morgan B. Blake

Sinopsis

In a world where darkness reigns and fate is merely a suggestion, these are the stories of the villains who shattered the chains of destiny and bent the world to their will. Legends of the Damned delves into the hearts of history's most feared antagonists—those whose evil transcends the ordinary, whose power reshapes reality itself. These are the tales of the Mirage Artist, who brings nightmares to life with the stroke of a brush, the Void Seeker, who feeds on despair and turns souls into hollow shells, and the Clockwork Tyrant, a master of machinery who commands an army of mechanical minions to crush entire cities.
Every villain here is more than a mere villain—they are gods of their own making, wielding forces too dark for mere mortals to understand. But with every victory, every conquest, comes the inevitable cost: the emptiness of their triumphs, the hollowed-out souls left in their wake. These legends are bound by the curse of their own power, each facing a twisted end where no one survives, not even them.
From the depths of forgotten dreams to the blood-soaked streets of decimated cities, this anthology uncovers the twisted, dark journeys of these villains who conquered everything... and yet lost it all. Prepare for a dark dive into their worlds, where no soul is spared, and where the final lesson is that even the most powerful of villains cannot escape the ruin they sow.
Are you ready to witness the ultimate fall from grace? Step into Legends of the Damned, where fate is not a prison—it is a weapon to be broken.

Fate - Eventually Everything...

Sidney St. James

FATE – Eventually, Everything Connects 
BOOK 2 of 3 in the DEMON GORGE TRILOGY (Sequel to Room of Death) 
“Oh, my God, I remember that trial now. She was the girl convicted of killing her infant cousin so that she could inherit his property, of which she was the next heir. Did your father know these facts before he agreed to take her on as a servant here at your place?” 
“Yes, he did,” she said with a faint voice. 
“Oh, my goodness. That trial was in all the papers. I can’t understand how your father could endure the presence of such a mad killer under the same roof as you. I don’t know how he could even subject you to such danger. No wonder you never smile.” 
“Oh, you have it wrong. My father believes that though she was convicted of the crime, she was not guilty,” said the young woman in a faint voice. 
“You say this, Aurora, that your father believes this. From everything I read in the papers, the evidence that proved her guilt was overwhelming. There wasn’t a loophole in the trial whatsoever.” 
“That’s so true. But you sit there agreeing to have Jack Dannells provide private service for my father and then turn around and find that poor girl who was only fourteen years old guilty of a crime which she could not think up much less plan. We know that Elise Austin is no felon,” said Aurora. 
“I don’t know, Aurora. You and your father seem to have a boundless charity to the criminals.”

Auctions and Alibis

Winnie Reed

One simple, little auction. What could happen, right? 
Darcy’s got an invitation to join Ethan at an auction. No, this isn’t the date he supposedly asked her out for a while ago. This is a favor for his cousin who’s some well-known New York Times bestseller. Why not, since said author agreed to do a book signing at Darcy’s bookstore, and that’s bound to bring in more business. Not to mention that’s going to satisfy Becca’s crush on said author. 
What could go wrong at an auction for an old desk? Nothing, but what happens after the auction raises eyebrows. His home’s broken into and the desk’s been vandalized. And speaking of raised eyebrows, imagine Pete’s when he walks in late at night to process the crime scene and finds Darcy there. 
And to think after Darcy’s last adventure with the wealthy sector of Cape Hope, she’d be done with attempts on her life. No such luck. And to compound matters, it seems that Ethan’s life’s at stake as well.
