In Need Of A Pulse

Ophellia_Newborne
Harley has it all but for some reason his life is still so empty. When he leaves his Job on a whim he's faced with the reality of having to restart his career from scratch in his mid thirties, that fact haunts him. How will he handle life, love and family when all of it feels so bleak and meaningless. Orlando has never wanted for much, rich, gorgeous and the icing on the cake being eternal life. But eternity alone is a bit too drab for him. When he is promised a mate on his 16th name day he feels nothing but excitement and hope. But that was 300 years ago. When will this void be filled, when will his heart begin to beat?

King of Knives

“In Varentis, trust is a luxury. Mercy is a weakness. And a knife solves more problems than gold ever could.” Darian Valcoris once had a name that mattered. Now he’s just another body in the pit, bleeding for coin, surrounded by criminals, watched by nobles who forgot his face. Broken, betrayed, and one mistake from death, Darian claws his way through the underworld of Varentis, a mountain metropolis built on secrets, steel, and blood, which serves as one of the three Palatinates of the Empire. But Darian isn’t here to survive. He’s here to take everything. From the gutters to the noble quarter, he’ll rise, through pit fights, heists, street wars, and whispered conspiracies. Alongside a crew of dangerous misfits, Darian plays a game that no one expects him to win. Because they don’t know who he's willing to become. Welcome to the Empire of Newfyre. Welcome to the City of Knives. ------ Tags: Dark Fantasy • Criminal Underworld • Political Intrigue • Antihero Protagonist • Slow-Burn Power Climb • Found Family • Betrayal • Knife Fights • Multiple POVs • Corrupt Nobles • Gritty Worldbuilding • Morally Gray MC • Low-Magic Setting • Empire Politics • Witty Banter • War Brewing ------ Why Read This (From 10Verses): This isn’t just Darian’s story.
