The Scarlet Thread - A Greek...

D.S. Murphy

My name is Kaidance Monroe, and when I touch someone, I see how they die. Ever since failing to prevent my brother's death, I've been exiled by my parents to the cold embrace of a juvenile detention center, my life a sequence of isolation and regret, vowing never to touch another soul again.
But as my eighteenth birthday looms, everything changes. A stranger breaks through the fortress I've built around myself, bringing with him danger and a magnetic allure I'm powerless to resist. He doesn't recoil at my curse; instead, he reveals a chilling truth: I'm not a freak; I'm a target.
Suddenly, I'm on the run, plunged headfirst into a hidden realm where ancient myths pulse to life and shadows stalk with intent, I discover that my cursed touch is a weapon sought by unseen enemies. My sanctuary? A hidden mansion, nestled among the whispers of forgotten gods and mythical creatures, where I hone my abilities preparing for a war that edges closer each day. Within these walls, my heart tangles in the most perilous game of all. I didn't mean to make anyone fall for me.Certainly not my would-be killer.And I never imagined how far he would fall.
Caught between the celestial fire of Puriel and the earthly ferocity of Sitri, my affections are torn. As secrets
unfold and alliances shift, I must face the truth: in this game of gods and monsters, love is the deadliest weapon, and choosing sides could cost more than just my heart.
"The Scarlet Thread" is a tale for those who revel in the dark allure of Greek myths and Gothic romance, a saga of love, betrayal, and the power of a destiny that could either save or doom us all. This is just the beginning—dive into the Fated Destruction series, where every choice could be your last.

Freya's father goes to sea -...

Linnea Taylor

In this story, based on Norse mythology, we will learn how to control separation anxiety. Hello my friend, how are you today? I hope you are comfortable and relaxed, because I am going to tell you a story about the Norse god Freyja. Freyja was a very special god-child, because her father Njörd (pronounced Nj-ord), the sea-god, lived at sea. Freyja, however, was very much a land-dweller. Every night, when Freyja had gone to bed, Njörd would give her a good-night kiss and leave to live in the waves. This is the story of how Njörd made Freyja feel safe and calm in her bed while he was far away, ruling his ocean kingdom. Are you ready to hear this story?
