betrayal

In a world where life was not just sustained by the rhythmic pulse of an organ. Where way more was asked for to remain. A kingdom was grieving the loss of a princess, as 2 siblings were grieving the loss of a sister. One was conscious but banned from attending her funerals while the other one was unaware and busy fighting the same ending. Two siblings fighting the same system that put their family, their people and their positions of monarchs at risks. One rejected the system entirely, while the other was slowly consumed by her faith in the power it held. Both were surrounded by allies who believed in their cause, yet remained exiled far from the homeland they once called theirs

It might be taboo, but Mena Cabot does not care if it will give her the ultimate face-slapping opportunity. When her boyfriend Finn turns out to be a cheater, Mena does not cry or complain. She simply decides to use his older, richer, more handsome, and generally better brother to make him jealous. After an embarrassing fall lands her in the hospital, Mena wakes up to find her boyfriend's hot older brother by her bedside instead of her boyfriend. Drugged, confused, and feeling particularly mischievous, she does what any sensible girl would do: She claims she has lost her memory. How was she supposed to know her boyfriend was waiting for an excuse to parade her best friend around as his true love? Now she's stuck. She can't remember "her boyfriend," so she can't confront Finn for being a filthy, cheating degenerate. And the more time she spends with Beau, the deeper her lie becomes. In all this, the biggest surprise isn't Finn. It's Beau Orsini. Her cold, infuriating, ridiculously handsome boss who has decided to play along with the lie. He claims to be her boyfriend. He takes care of her. And judging by the way his hands linger and his eyes follow her, Beau seems to be enjoying his new role far too much. Why? Mena knows this is all an act. So why does every stolen glance make her heart race? Why does being in Beau's arms feel safer than it ever did in Finn's? And why is a tiny, dangerous part of her beginning to wish she really had lost her memory? Because pretending to be Beau Orsini's girlfriend might be the biggest mistake of Mena life but it tastes as sweet as sin.

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?
