A witch without faith. A war without heroes. This is not the Dragon Age you remember. The main character of the work is Morrigan. The one... The overbearing, intelligent, sarcastic and not-so-mysterious companion of the protagonist of Dragon Age: Origins. In contrast to the original, the entire focus of the story shifts to this amazing daughter of Flemette. By fate, as in the canon, the witch leaves Korkari. But it is not only the threat of Blight that drives her on her difficult adventures, relentlessly flooding the south of Ferelden with darkness and death. The attack... And the personal entanglements the Sorceress finds herself in force her to become more active. In the name of survival, she transforms from follower to leader. From now on, the girl no longer chooses who to stay with, but who is trustworthy, or at least curious enough to stay. Others will lose the support of the reluctant southerner. Ambition, growing amidst the gathering darkness of madness and the flames of civil war, will determine where the new path will take her. A tangle of wit, magic and contingency knows no bounds. The narrative is based on a classic Dragon Age episode, centred on a desperate band of disparate individuals facing the threat of the Fifth Dawn. There are changes of varying degrees to the series of events that have already occurred and future events that are inherent to the canon. Some are on the surface. Others are less visible. Who is the saviour here? And is there one at all? What if the familiar characters had a slightly different, more down-to-earth motivation? Or if a series of miraculous rescues didn't happen? Characters with a prominent role in the canon might be left behind, die or suffer unforeseen consequences. I invite the reader to the fire, to experience this small but hopefully fascinating experiment together.

Karen had been standing in the rain for God knows how long. Her head hung low, eyes fixed on the wet ground as she swallowed hard again and again. She kept waiting—until the sharp scrape of metal rang out behind her. When she turned, the first thing she saw was a pair of headlights cutting through the downpour, blinding her vision. She raised a hand to her forehead, squinting against the glare. One man stepped out, opening an umbrella—only to hand it over to someone else. That second figure took the black umbrella and walked straight toward her. It was him. The last man she wanted to see. He looked at her with no expression. One hand on the umbrella, the other shoved deep in his pocket. His voice came low, calm, and calculated. “What are you doing here?” Karen licked her cracked lips, lifting her chin to meet his eyes. “I…I’m offering myself to you.” “I’m not interested anymore,” he said flatly. “Why would I waste my time waiting for you?” Karen clenched her fists tight, swallowing what little pride she had left. “Because you said it yourself—you wanted my body.” “You’d sell your body to me?” His words were sharp, unapologetic. Karen gave a stiff nod. For a long moment, he said nothing. Then he bent slightly, grabbing her chin with a rough hand, his eyes glinting. “You know you can’t leave… not unless I decide to let you.” Karen nodded again. His mouth curved in the faintest, coldest smile. “Then get ready, Karen.”

Ivy Black, a 28-year-old certified medium in Seattle, has spent three months unable to sense her deceased husband Mark's spirit—until she feels his soul trapped inside Damian Grey, the man whose drunk driving killed him. To communicate with Mark, Ivy must make physical contact with Damian, discovering that the "accident" was actually orchestrated murder. Damian Grey, a 32-year-old accountant, has been suffering from personality blackouts and strange memories since the crash. He was drugged and controlled through supernatural means by Richard Weber, Mark's business partner, who used ancient soul-binding magic to turn Damian into an unwitting murder weapon. Weber discovered that Mark was investigating his financial fraud scheme and eliminated him before the truth could surface. As Ivy infiltrates Damian's life under false pretenses, she uncovers Weber's supernatural crime syndicate while developing unexpected feelings for the man she initially blamed for her husband's death. Mark's spirit, however, becomes increasingly possessive and violent, threatening to destroy Damian's mind from within. The soul-binding ritual is slowly killing both men—Mark's spirit will fade, and Damian's body will burn out from hosting another soul. The climax forces Ivy to choose between performing a dangerous ritual to transfer Mark's soul into her own body (losing her medium abilities and risking her sanity) or letting both men die. In the end, Mark chooses to dissipate peacefully, freeing both Ivy and Damian to build a new life together while Weber faces justice for his supernatural crimes. Key Commercial Elements: Paranormal romance, enemies-to-lovers arc, supernatural mystery, emotional redemption, and the ultimate sacrifice of true love.

His fingers are touching my thighs, but his eyes hold no emotion for me to tell his thoughts. It’s unusual. “Cassian?” I press my hands on his chest, but not in a way to resist him, but to feel his heart’s rhythm. “I told you it's all about the primal instinct,” he says, bringing his lips to touch mine. My hands let go off his chest as our lips touch, our tongue having a taste of each other. It feels different, not like it used to be. He withdraws himself from me, and our eyes are locked to each other. I have so many questions to ask him, but his eyes on me seem to answer them. His face… he was the werewolf who'd stood beside them, and had chased me out of my home. “It's true… Cassian, it’s true…” My voice is shaky as I step back from him. “What's that about?” He asks, feigning ignorance of what I mean. “My parents… you killed them… you stood beside their bodies!” ******************************************************** Things took a shift after Liam's betrayal of selling me out to Alpha Cassian. It awoke every thought and trauma I'd buried within me, having them come alive to haunt me. Cassian wanted my essence for his curse, to perform a bloodshroud that was supposed to be his cure and the end of me. But he didn't go on with it. Strangely, he called me his mate. How was that even possible since I was a human and he was a werewolf? I’d thought a human like me couldn't become a werewolf, but Cassian wouldn't let go of his claim. I felt darkness and chaos around him, but soon, I started to fall for him. I wanted to keep everything behind me even though the memory of my parents’ death still haunted me. But at the new leaf I was about to turn, I discovered Cassian must have killed my parents, soaked himself with their blood, and chased me out of my home. How was I supposed to go on with this revelation?
