The Sugar Alchemist's War - A Symphony of Sweetness and Sorrow

Whitney Castillo

Sinopsis

In the kingdom of Frostveil, where spun-sugar architecture glitters against the frost-kissed sky and sugared plums hold whispers of forgotten magic, nineteen-year-old Marlow Perret leads a simple life amidst the simmering unrest.  He finds solace in the comforting rhythm of his bakery, the aroma of warm bread a constant companion. But his quiet world shatters when the King's glacial enforcers arrive, searching for his master, Elias Thorne – the exiled Sugar Alchemist, a creator of enchanted confections capable of toppling empires.Suddenly, Marlow is thrust into a world of sugared plum orchards whispering coded messages and clandestine meetings held beneath canopies of marzipan roses.  Pastries become weapons, buttercream a battlefield. He discovers his own astonishing immunity to the enchanted treats, a resistance that makes him both a vital pawn and a dangerous anomaly. Elias, torn between safeguarding Marlow and confronting a past he desperately wants to bury, is dragged back into the deadly game of dessert espionage he'd sworn to abandon.They find refuge in the Whispering Whisk, a secret guild of rebel pâtissiers led by the fiery chocolatier Zara Fitzwilliam, whose rebellious confections are as intoxicating as her spirit.  But within this haven of sugared resistance, Marlow uncovers a web of deceit, hidden agendas, and crumbling alliances. He must navigate treacherous currents of courtly intrigue, decipher messages baked into elaborate cakes, and choose his allies carefully, all while mastering the subtle art of infusing his creations with not just flavor, but intention, emotion, and magic.As Frostveil teeters on the brink of a sugar-fueled civil war, Marlow must confront the sinister Pastry Minister, Corvus Blackwood, a master manipulator whose chillingly precise sugarcraft holds the court and populace in thrall.  The source of all sugar magic, the Whispering Glade, guarded by mythical Sugar Sprites, is under threat.  Marlow, Elias, and Zara embark on a perilous journey to protect it, facing not only Blackwood's relentless pursuit, but also the truth of Marlow's own heritage – a lineage tied to the very essence of sugar magic, a destiny he can no longer ignore.In a climactic, sugar-laden battle at the royal palace, Marlow must harness his newfound powers, confront Blackwood's fear-inducing pastries with confections of hope and courage, and rally the people of Frostveil to fight for their freedom. The fate of the kingdom rests on the tip of his sugared spoon. Can Marlow, the unlikely Sugar Alchemist, restore balance to a world steeped in sweetness and sorrow, or will he become the instrument of its ultimate destruction?

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."

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.
