A Bride Between Pages

Manchu_8392
After losing her parents—and inheriting their crushing debts—Anne Dwasond is left to survive in her uncle’s house: a place filled with fear, cruelty, and no way out. With nothing left to hold on to, she finds herself standing at the edge of a bridge, ready to end it all. But fate doesn’t let go so easily. Rayden Lancaster, a cold and powerful CEO, needs a wife—fast. Not for love, but to escape a marriage he never wanted. He offers Anne a deal: a marriage on paper, built on lies and secrets. No feelings. No strings. Just secret. But when two people running from their own pain are forced together, what happens when the lines between pretend and real start to blur?

Ascending Pride

What happens when a dragon gets sacrificed by his mate for his blessings? Blame the bird. What happens when a fish wants to rule the skies? Drag the bird down. What happens when a fox wants revenge? Seek out the bird. What happens when humans are lied to for generations? Coarse the bird. What does any of that have to do with the bird who most have never even met? How do they subdue a being that not even beast gods were able to defeat? How do they force a bird to stop flying? How do they kill a being... that cannot be killed? ... They break his heart... over, and over, and over. It's been over a thousand years since the beast god sealed itself away to heal from it's injuries. 700 years since the dragon was sacrificed. 600 years since a feathered snake started accepting human "wives". Almost 500 years since his heart was shattered. 300 years since history was rewritten. 200 years since the fish sent out a call. 50 years since the fox was tricked. 20 years since he gave his broken heart to a young warrior. 10 years since he was once again betrayed. 2 years since the bird found himself in a new body with only a fraction of his memories. Now, the most precious piece of his heart must either return, or bond with another. Now, the blessings from the sacrificed dragon have become a curse. Now, a young warrior has become leader of her people. Now, three nations are on the verge of extinction. Now, a snake wants his covenant honored. Now, a bird shakes his head as watches with a sigh. So few will live, while so many will die.
