New Bad Beginning [eng]

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.

Heart’s Secret

In the beautiful city of Eldrida, Angelina "Lina" Johnson finds her passion as a gifted perfumery scout and marketer for the prestigious Aurum Scents. Under the mentorship of its powerful yet principled CEO, Carter Hayes, she believes she has found her perfect place. But Lina's life turns upside down when she draws the gaze of a far more dangerous titan. Daniel Viggo, the ruthless CEO of Vega Corporation and shadow chairman of the monolithic Blackwood Enterprises, is a man forged in trauma. Three years after his mother was murdered by a woman with an angelic face, he has hardened into a predator who despises all who remind him of her. In Lina, he sees the living, breathing replica of his ghost. Consumed by obsession, he is determined to make her suffer through professional sabotage, psychological warfare, and personal violation—punishing her simply for existing. Carter Hayes, Lina's boss and protector, quickly realizes his brightest talent has been targeted by a man whose power dwarfs his own. Though CEO of Aurum, Carter is outmatched by Viggo's vast empire. He vows to shield Lina, but his ability to help has limits, and every move to protect her risks his own company. Caught in this high-stakes crossfire, Lina's turmoil deepens with the return of Lucas, a steadfast love from her high school past. He offers a sanctuary of genuine affection and a chance at a normal life—a stark contrast to the gilded cage of fear she now inhabits. Now, Lina is trapped in the middle: tormented by an untouchable tyrant who wants to break her, protected by a guardian who might not be strong enough to save her, and tempted by a love that promises an escape she may never reach. To survive, she must uncover the truth behind Daniel's vendetta and find a strength as potent as the rarest perfume—before her career, spirit, and heart are shattered by the man who sees her not as a person, but as a ghost to be destroyed. Heart Secret is a tale of obsession, resilience, and corporate intrigue, where the most precious secrets are those buried within the human heart.

The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover

Evelyn Walters was the perfect heiress, until one reckless night with her father’s greatest enemy ruined everything. Pregnant, disgraced, and cast out of the Walters family, she left with nothing but her unborn child. Years later, she's survived. But as a single mother, the life she built was fragile until the man from her past discovered the truth. Now he wants her and his son. But how can Evelyn trust the father of her child... when he's also the enemy of the man who raised her? **** Excerpt: "B-Boss... the woman you slept with that night... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed," Dylan stammered, his voice trembling. Axel's brow furrowed even further. He tried digging through the hazy, alcohol-soaked memories of that night.  Of course, he remembered the party. He remembered the whiskey. But the woman? Nope. His brain served up a blank slate. "Who was she?" Dylan swallowed. "The first daughter of William Walters." "Cough! Cough!" Axel coughed violently, his face turning red and eyes wide with shock. He never thought that woman would end up in his bed.  --- Curiosity won, as always. Evelyn grabbed the remote and hit the power button. The screen lit up, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, as if the Grim Reaper himself had just stepped out of the TV to ask for her phone number. “What the…? Why does my personal source of misery pop up the second I turn this thing on?” Because there he was, Axel Knight, gliding out of his luxury car like some corporate deity on his way to a business banquet. Evelyn scrambled for the remote to turn it off, but of course, fate had other plans. Axel turned to the camera and gave a casual wave, acknowledging the paparazzi vultures lined up outside. She hated to admit it, but the man looked sinfully good in his signature black suit and high turtleneck, his sleek black hair framing a face that could stop traffic and quite possibly her breathing. Then, suddenly, her stomach clenched. Her hand instinctively rubbed her flat belly. “Little tenant, did you just say you recognize him?”
