Blackthorn Under Hellfire

In a world where demons rule and humanity lingers in the shadows, society is strictly divided. Demons are categorized into three castes: Big Horns, extremely rare and overwhelmingly powerful; Medium Horns, the ambitious middle class; and Small Horns, the common people or demons if you will. Meanwhile, humans live in segregated communities, their very existence dictated by an invisible force known as Life Essence—the intoxicating energy they emit, the substance demons crave. For the safety of both species, humans and demons lead entirely separate lives. Expect for Cassidy "Cass" Veyne, because bro wanted to be different. Born to a powerful Big Horn father and a human mother, Cass is not a demon. He has no horns, no demonic energy, and—most baffling of all—no Life Essence to feed on. Or at least that's what he has been told his whole life. He’s an anomaly in a world that lives on strict order. But his father, a high-ranking noble in demon society, refuses to let him live among humans. Instead, Cass is forced into Blackthorn Academy (fire name I know), an elite private school meant for the most powerful demons in the country or the ones with the most money. From the moment he steps inside, Cass doesn’t belong. No horns. No power. No fear radiating from him like the others. The students whisper behind his back. Teachers look at him like a puzzle. Some demons want to test him. Others want to break him. At the top of Blackthorn’s social hierarchy is Nathaniel "Nate" Azrael, the student body president, the most feared Big Horn in the school, and the heir to a long lineage of royalty. His dark curling horns, piercing silver eyes, and suffocating aura make even strong demons tremble. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, Nate thrives on domination and fear—it’s his nature. Cass is the only one who doesn’t flinch under his gaze. He isn’t afraid of him. And for the first time, Nate doesn’t know whether he wants to destroy Cass… or claim him. A forbidden love between two people who should never have met. A boy trapped between two worlds, struggling to prove he belongs. And a dangerous, undeniable pull between a fearless outcast and the demon who feeds on fear itself. This is Blackthorn under hellfire by yours truly.

Can love melt an ice cold heart? Can love truly conquer all? ***** Meet Alena Flameheart, an enthusiastic, sometimes nervous but up to taking things in her own hands. She never frets over hard work. Meet Kai Rumaro, the young master of The Rumaro family.

"You'll tell me what I am? Who do you think you are Miss Alena Flameheart?" he sneered, crossing his arms across his chest. "I may be nobody to you, but I certainly know you're not who you pretend to be. You're a fake!" she declared on his face, fearlessly. The surprise was evident on his face, a grimace forming as his facial features changed. "H-how dare you!" he yelled stammering on his words as if she knew some deep secret of his. As if he was exposed. She smiled gently, "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me" Read on to find out! ---------- Author's note: The cover image is not owned by me, credits to the original artist who made this.

Ashes & Anthems

Ashes & Anthems: Book One: Sweetness on My Tongue Seven years ago, Ashton Rhodes left Wells, Kansas with nothing but a guitar, a head full of grief, and a promise never to look back. Now the lead singer of the world-famous rock band Ashes & Anthems, Ashton has everything he thought he wanted. Money, success, sold-out tours, and a name known around the world. But when his estranged mother dies, he's forced to return to the small town he spent years trying to forget. He expects to spend a week settling the estate and escaping as quickly as possible. Then he opens the door to his childhood trailer and finds Lauren Carter standing inside. Lauren was his first love. His best friend. The girl he left behind. The girl who moved on. Married now with two children, Lauren has built a quiet life far from the chaos that defined their youth. She has a good husband, a comfortable home, and every reason to leave the past where it belongs. But helping Ashton clean out his mother's trailer forces them back into each other's orbit, awakening old memories, old wounds, and feelings neither of them ever truly buried. As the summer stretches on, what begins as friendship slowly becomes something far more dangerous. Because some loves never disappear. They simply wait. Caught between the stability of the life she built and the intensity of the life she lost, Lauren finds herself pulled toward the boy who became a rock star. Ashton, still battling addiction, grief, and the ghosts of his past, discovers that fame never replaced the one thing he spent years running from. Home. But every choice has a cost. When buried secrets finally come to light, the fallout will destroy more than one family. In a town that never forgets, a marriage is shattered, loyalties are tested, and two people are forced to face the consequences of a love they never truly left behind. Sweetness on My Tongue is a raw, emotional story of first love, addiction, forgiveness, and the devastating reality that sometimes getting what you want costs everything. Ashes & Anthems Book One ends with a birth, a heartbreak, and a choice that will echo through the entire series.
