The Night That Refused The Moon

Forensic archivist Iria Kade starts losing whole nights of her life, always during full moons. She wakes up hurt, confused, and meets strangers who know her for things she can’t recall. When Iria finds classified files labeled PROJECT LYCANTH and PROJECT HEMATOS, both with her name, she realizes her blackouts are intentional, not random. Her search for answers leads her to Ephrem, a centuries-old vampire who survives not by drinking blood, but by consuming memories. Ephrem reveals that the myths of monsters are lies. There are no transforming werewolves. Instead, certain humans—called the Moonmarked—lose consciousness during full moons so their bodies can be used to maintain reality itself. At the center of this system is the Echo Engine, a non-sentient mechanism bound to the lunar cycle. Vampires exist to preserve human continuity, feeding on memory so history is not lost entirely. Iria discovers she was not changed to serve the Engine. She was born able to do it. As Iria and Ephrem look into where the Engine came from, their partnership grows into a delicate romance with clear rules about consent and keeping records. Each full moon, Iria forgets Ephrem, so she has to fall in love with him again through messages and trust. Ephrem remembers every version of her and refuses to feed from her, knowing it would make their bond stable but take away her freedom. Their relationship is based on choice, not just routine. When Iria insists that Ephrem share her memory of the Echo Engine, it almost destroys him. Iria loses a whole year of their relationship, and Ephrem starts to forget his own long past. As the Engine breaks down, Moonmarked people wake up in the middle of the cycle, shocked by what has happened to them. Secret guardians of the system try to stop Iria before she can dismantle it. Iria shuts down the Echo Engine for one lunar cycle—an unprecedented act. Reality destabilizes, but instead of collapse, vampires begin remembering who they were before feeding, and the Moonmarked regain autonomy without erasure. Ephrem becomes mortal, and Iria’s memory stabilizes permanently. When offered the chance to bring back the system and keep reality controlled, Iria says no. She chooses truth instead of fixing things, and love without forced forgetting. The moon rises, and nothing happens. The Night That Refused the Moon is a dark, thoughtful paranormal novel that reimagines vampires and werewolves as systems rather than species. It focuses on an unusual romance shaped by memory, consent, and the price of living forever without an authentic self.

As time goes by Private Love Aikawa of military Unit 4-7, finds that she may not be as human as she first thought. Battling rogue vampires, mutated creatures and her own past, Love works to unravel the mysteries behind the secretive Helsing unit, and tries to become the bridge between humans and vampires in a world filled with discrimination. This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and the early world and character building, BUT everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts. So, I hope you stick with it and enjoy the wild ride! I also added some song recommendations along the way to listen to whilst you read certain chapters, I hope this helps boost the experience.

Prince of Heartbeats

In a world where talent turns into legend, two names echo across continents — Aadhya Raivarma, the surgeon who can steal lives back from death, and Reyaan Malhotra, the cricketer whose every swing rewrites history. She’s the Miracle of Medicine — cold, disciplined, and untouchable, the youngest vice president of the World Medical Alliance and the only disciple of its legendary founder. Her hands are steady enough to defy fate; her mind, sharp enough to command twelve of the brightest doctors on Earth. To her, the world is a battlefield — one heartbeat at a time. He’s the Prince of Cricket — charming, brilliant, and reckless in equal measure. Every match he plays is poetry in motion; every victory, a storm. To the world, he’s perfection — until the day his heart stops being invincible. When the genius who saves lives meets the man who lives to conquer, their worlds collide — science and sport, logic and emotion, heart and heartbeat. When the genius who saves lives meets the man who lives to conquer, their worlds collide — science and sport, logic and emotion, heart and heartbeat. She never breaks rules. He never follows them. But fate doesn’t ask for permission — it just sets the stage. Because sometimes, even the coldest hands can tremble… and even the strongest heart can skip a beat. He watched her quietly, calm as ever, letting her storm around them in silence. “You don’t talk much,” he said softly, voice steady. “I don’t need to,” she replied, eyes sharp, tone clipped. He leaned just enough to close the invisible space between them, calm and patient. “Maybe… I like hearing what you refuse to say.” She didn’t answer. She never did. But the almost imperceptible catch in her breath, the slight twitch at the corner of her mouth… betrayed her.
