twisted

(The Artifact Hunters #2) ~♤♡The curse is spreading. The clock is ticking. And the only way out, is through blood, magic, and secrets♧◇~ Alister, Clara, and their unlikely allies now embark on the perilous search for the three ancient artifacts for the ritual—The Healer’s goblet, The Blood Mirror and The Hirudin Dagger.   These artifacts hold the key to breaking the curse once and for all. Their journey will take them through glittering halls of wealth and hidden chambers of cruelty, where danger waits at every turn.   As the line between salvation and ruin blurs, and every choice carries weight, trust and feelings may prove as vital as any weapon.    Because some bonds cut deeper than curses.

In a world ruled by fear and deception, the line between truth and lies is written in blood. Jane, a stubborn young witch, thought her greatest battles were with the magic she could never fully control. That changes the day she stumbles into a nightmare—the government’s secret experiments, twisted dungeons, and the infamous General Shax, whose violet eyes burn with cruelty. When Jane dares to free the captive demon queen Leviathan—known simply as Levi—her life shatters forever. Bound together by pain and defiance, Jane and Levi must fight through betrayal, shattered trust, and the scars left by Shax’s brutal hand. But Jane hides a secret even she doesn’t understand: ancient dragon blood runs through her veins. That cursed heritage awakens under torment, threatening to turn her into something neither witch nor human—a weapon of untold power. As Shax tightens his grip, Jane’s friends are captured and broken in the dungeons, Levi’s wings are nearly destroyed, and history itself is rewritten to paint Levi as a traitor. To survive, they must embrace what they fear most: their own power, their bond with each other, and the truth of what Shax is willing to do to break them. Mission Unknown is a dark gl fantasy of resilience, forbidden loyalty, and the courage to defy cruelty. With every chain broken, a greater war begins.
