2018 • [ A CROOKED TALE, a phantom's whisper, watch it burn, feel it blister. ] •

A forest. A hut on chicken's feet. A fence of blood and bone.

Before she was Baba Yaga, she was just a girl. 

Fuelled by spite and hatred for the world around her, Yaga Izeva has always had two faces. A beautiful one, the tailor's girl and a perfect wife, and the other, far darker than anyone could've ever imagined.

Because things like that didn't happen in their village - until they did.

With the blood of her village on her hands and nowhere to turn to, Yaga runs to the open arms of the forest, where the water runs black and the trees are haunted by ghosts of the past.

Power is a pretty thing - before it consumes you.

Go to sleep, children.

And watch out for Baba Yaga.

Siren Song (The Fated #1) by UnboundWings

Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her. After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has. Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by Morana

Whispers in the Darkness by Raina_Crow

Title: Whispers in the Darkness Genre: Dark Slavic Fantasy Description: In a world governed by ancient goddesses, divided between light and darkness, life and death, countless secrets lie hidden. The echoes of their names still linger in every whisper of the wind, in every rustle of the leaves. In those ancient times, when the forgotten ancestors still walked the earth, the forests held more than just beasts; spirits of ancient powers lay in waiting, ready to be awakened by the chosen few. As the world stands on the brink of chaos, Marana must find her path. Her heart beats in harmony with the shadows, but will she have the strength to maintain balance between light and darkness as the world splits apart? While the god of fire and sun seeks to break the ancient order, Marana is left with only her power, faith in the goddesses, and an indomitable will. This is a tale of the darkness that lives within us all.

His Love by EclipsedMistress

She is lonely, scared, and broken-a girl who has known nothing but pain. He is power, darkness, and sin-the Russian devil who has set his sights on her. He doesn't want her love. He wants to own her. To break her. To corrupt her. She's too naive, too untouched, too fragile. But that only makes him want to ruin her more. Her POV: My life has never been fair, but maybe that's just my curse. Like a moth drawn to the flame, I find myself pulled toward danger, knowing it will destroy me. And him... he makes me feel things I shouldn't. Things that terrify me. Things I crave. His POV: "P-please..." she begs, her voice trembling. I smirk. "You like this, don't you? The way my fingers own you... greedy little thing, I bet you wish it was my cock instead." She moans my name like it's a prayer, but I am no saint. I won't take her to heaven. I'll drag her to hell-my hell. She will be my whore. My kitten. Mine. He is her destruction, but she is his lifeline. And he will never let her go. ⚠️ This story contains dark and extreme themes that may be distressing for some readers.

Neiko's Five Land Adventure (Neiko Adventure Saga Book #1) by spottedeagle9780

What if the fate of two worlds were in the hands of one person: you? The childhood secret of a troubled teen warrior is used against her by her enemies. It turns out what Neiko imagined is real, and she becomes trapped in the same world she imagined by an otherworldly evil that is worse than the devil. Getting home is the least of her problems. The Indians and the Crackedskulls are locked in the turmoil of a war that has raged for centuries, and it is presently in a stalemate. Her enemies, Raven and Bloodhawk, have come up with a scheme to take her down, but in doing so they inadvertently open the door to another universe and to an otherwordly evil. Neiko later finds out that a land she thought she had only imagined is actually real, and the dark being is not a figment of her childhood imagination-he is terrifyingly real, and she faces him for the first time. To make matters worse, it is now in her world, and he has evil plans especially for her. After several standoffs with the malevolent Ramses the Dark Pharaoh in Hawote, she is trapped in Qari by his strange and powerful magic. Trapped in another universe and in a place that is not exactly the way she imagined it. She must somehow find a way to teleport home. That is easier said than done; the odds are overwhelmingly against her and her scorpion-cobra companion as they must travel to find the answer and help, but at the same time avoid Ramses' allies, traps, and tricks. Can she come back home and turn the tables on her enemies?

Despair: The Vampire King's Mate by Empress_A

Prologue: I woke up lying on a cold surface. I can smell the sweetest scent of roses. I can see lighted candles surrounding me in the dim light. The shadow of the rumored creature, who was so desperate for his death, is nearing me. In partial darkness, I can see his fiery red glimmering eyes and the sadness beneath it as well. "My queen," a mellow voice, emanating from him, echoed through my ears, "and my end." Could this be his final greetings? - Overview: Vladmyr Kingdom, an estate of overflowing vengeance. Yfel Kingdom, the worst of Vladmyr Kingdom's enemies, has been ruthlessly disrupting serenity in all of the country's kingdom over the century. It is led by the faceless, rumored inhumane, and most vicious ruler of the history. The past decades, however, has been strangely peaceful as the Yfel Kingdom lies low from unwielding battles. What could have triggered its silence? The heroine, a Vladmyr Kingdom trooper, only seeks to recollect her family which was dismantled by the war among the kingdoms. Little did she know, as soon as she steps inside the battlefield, she faces a dead end. There shall be no escape, for her fate has been decided. Persons, and 'paranormal' creatures, shall cross her path. Impressions shall pop out in a snap. Reality shall be revealed. Her role has been written; a vital one that may either bring end to the catastrophe or further accelerate the annihilation of the kingdoms.

Survival Of The Cursed by Madinah_Writes

To survive an endless curse cast upon the earth by the gods, humans sought freedom and revenge upon those who were closest to them- the Giants. Attacking with powerful sleep spells, the situation left them with only 24 hours of escape. Celebrating the tenth millennia since giants started ruling Oyo-Ile, Asalewa Ayodeji, one of the thousand enslaved individuals from Ondo cursed with misfortune, puts her escape plan into action. Meanwhile, dwarfs ascend from the spirit world to find and elude the twin golden eggs, which hold over a thousand powers and spells. Nevertheless, Asa encounters an army of Ninki-Nanka; creatures who will leave nothing and no one standing until they possess the twin golden eggs. Could she make her dream of freedom a reality by joining the northerners and exploring a more liberated world? How far would Asa and the others go to protect the twin golden eggs? Could this be the end of humankind? Cover credit: Meha-k #1 in MythandLegend (07.07.2023) COPYRIGHT ©2022
