The world of Astrea lies shattered, cloven in two by a colossal rift known as the Scar. This cataclysm was born not of natural disaster, but of human discord—a violent conflict over the Sun Goddess Litha’s sacred gemstone, abandoned a century ago. When the stone fractured, its immense power bled into the world, imbuing select individuals with extraordinary abilities. Yet no one dares cross the Scar’s abyss; it is an impassable barrier that has turned one realm into two separate worlds. Amidst this fracture, Soleil Summerdale was torn from her mother. The chaos of the rivalry shattered her life, leaving her with only a fragile hope: to one day be reunited. To cross the Scar—a nightmarish den of monsters spawned from the same catastrophe—Soleil must find the vanished Goddess Litha herself. But in her search for divine aid, she uncovers a truth far more terrifying and personal than she ever imagined. As her journey unfolds, a latent and formidable power awakens within Soleil. This strength, emerging in the world’s darkest hour, seems destined to summon light against the engulfing darkness. Yet with it comes an impossible burden. Soleil is faced with a choice she is unprepared to make: risk everything to mend the broken world and forge a new history of peace, or protect herself from the crushing weight of expectations in a world already steeped in chaos. The path she chooses will define not only her fate, but the future of all Astrea.

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.

But everything begins to fall apart when she crosses paths with the friends of Rome Hariston—the man who once promised her forever, only to break her heart and leave without ever knowing she was pregnant. Rome’s friends notice the striking resemblance between him and the twins, stirring up questions Sylvia has tried to avoid for years.

Julia Hale is a beastwoman of unsettling beauty, an emergency room nurse in a large, unforgiving city, and the mother of young twins still too innocent to grasp the cost of silence. Behind her clinical composure and carefully ordered routine, Julia carries the scars of years of domestic violence, relentless humiliation, and a past that has never truly loosened its grip. Separated from Theo Desmond, her charismatic and predatory ex-husband, Julia struggles to build a stable life. She works. She raises her children. She manages her body, her desire, her exhaustion. On the surface, she is moving forward. In reality, she is still surviving. Her trauma does not erupt in screams but in interrupted gestures, intrusive memories, conflicted desire. She is in love with a woman—Stella Vance—a one-sided, silent love never spoken aloud. This attachment becomes a mirror, reflecting both what Julia longs for and what she still cannot claim. Under the Skin of a Beastwoman is neither a revenge story nor a tale of miraculous healing. It is a fragmented, intimate chronicle of a woman learning—slowly, imperfectly—to detach herself from a life built on fear, while trying to offer her children a future she was never given. An R18 urban narrative, visceral and deeply personal, where the body, desire, and memory become battlegrounds for survival and reclamation.

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer
