inferno canto 2

Nunca deixe o homem que você ama fazer o sacrifício supremo. Aprendi essa lição quando o meu ocupou o lugar de um monstro para salvar o mundo. Meu marido, James, é um vampiro de 1600 anos, minha alma gêmea e o pai da minha filha recém-nascida. Agora ele é um prisioneiro no Submundo, condenado a um destino pior que a morte. Para trazê-lo de volta, devo fazer um pacto com o enigmático Deus do Submundo—uma aliança que exige um casamento estratégico. Meu único caminho para o Inferno é oferecido por um demônio caótico em quem não posso confiar, e nosso verdadeiro inimigo quer meu sangue divino para tomar os tronos do Céu e do Inferno. A única coisa pior do que perder meu marido para a escuridão? Tornar-me sua rainha para trazê-lo de volta.

O poder tem um preço... e era algo pelo qual ela estava disposta a trocar sua alma. Algumas noites antes de seu casamento, Lauren buscou uma maneira de romper seu quarto noivado. Conhecida por sua má reputação como a princesa rebelde, ela era a única dama que teve a coragem de pisar na Mansão Everston, a casa de um notório senhor da guerra, no meio da noite. Ela ofereceu a ele uma aliança perversa que o reino inteiro não viu chegar: um casamento. Uma raposa astuta fingindo ser uma donzela em perigo e um homem cujos olhos carmesim gritam por derramamento de sangue. Poderia algo florescer nessa dança traiçoeira de mentiras e enganos? -- "Você está chateada?" Ela o encarou com firmeza. "Devo me sentir honrada por ter sido enganada pelo senhor, milorde?" Ele bebeu o vinho restante em sua taça com um só gole e a colocou sobre a mesa de madeira. Ele se posicionou à frente dela. Sua mão estava no corrimão ao lado dela enquanto a outra mão pegava a taça dela e terminava seu vinho antes de colocá-la para baixo. A maneira como seu pomo de Adão se movia a cada gole violento fez com que ela sentisse um calor formigante ao redor de sua nuca. Quando ele voltou sua atenção para ela, lambeu os lábios para limpar o vestígio de vinho. "Como devo me redimir, então?" ele perguntou com sua voz profunda, como um demônio sedutor perguntando à sua vítima como ela gostaria de ser morta. Perigoso, porém... cativante. - Nota: Este é um gênero de romance-fantasia sombrio com muita violência explícita, disputas familiares, cenas quentes, reviravoltas, e outros conteúdos explícitos (sem estupro) que irão provocá-lo e podem lhe dar um ataque cardíaco, então basicamente não é para os de coração fraco, então leia por sua própria conta e risco!

A no strings attached night of pleasure with a hot stranger turned sour for Gemma when she woke up the following morning to find out that she had been kidnapped by no other but the same hot stranger, who happens to be one of her mafia family's rivals. Unable to escape, she decides to piss off her captor in every way she could. But what she didn't know was that pissing Miguel off would do her no good. ~Excerpt "Just this once, after tonight, you aren’t going to see him again." These were the words that Gemma kept saying to herself in her head as she and Sebastian stumbled into his hotel room, their lips locked in a searing kiss, and their hands fumbling to take off each other’s clothes. "I…. I usually don’t do this," Gemma murmured into Sebastian’s mouth. And then, She reprimanded herself for sounding so cliche. Isn’t that the sentence that every girl says to their one nightstand? "I know," Sebastian said as he kissed his way down her throat. "How do you….." Gemma forgot what she wanted to say when he kissed her pulse point and sucked on it. Gemma nearly drowned from the noise that was inside her head, asking her to leave before things got out of hand, before her father and her brothers found out that she was missing. "I think I should be…." Gemma didn’t get to finish her sentence because Sebastian shut her up with a kiss. He slid his tongue into her mouth and Gemma opened up for him. "Oh…."

Somewhere in the universe, there is a planet named after the heaviest word in any language. The people who live there named it on purpose. And the king who rules it is exactly what you would expect from a man who grew up on a world called Sin — cold, absolute, terrifying in the way that kings are terrifying when they have stopped pretending to be anything else. His name is Sin. His clan is the most feared across twelve worlds. And the thing that sits on his throne has made planets afraid without trying. He just became a father. --- "I won't protect him," Sin tells the woman beside him. "I won't soften anything. And in the future — I may even try to kill him." She looks at him for a long time. "Why would anyone—" He presses one finger gently to her lips. "A father can be cruel for his son's growth. Be everything the child hates — if it makes him hard enough to stand alone." She doesn't understand. She memorizes it anyway. Because she has learned that with Sin, the things you don't understand are always the most important ones. --- The child is born silver-eyed and ancient. He is a Mythical Inferno dragon — a category of being born once every two hundred and fifty million years. Not because nature produced him randomly. Because the first dragon goddess, the original and oldest of all draconic existence, chose to return. Chose them. Chose this moment. He is seven weeks old. His aura alone cracks palace floors without effort. His father's overwhelming power — the thing that shakes planets — feels, beside him, like a candle next to the sun. He doesn't know any of this. He is trying to figure out what his tail is. --- Then the wrong people find out he exists. The planet burns. A capsule escapes through the fire — carrying something small, silver-eyed, divine — toward a blue planet neither of his parents had ever visited. Toward Earth. Toward a smoldering forest. Toward a girl with a white blindfold and golden eyes who is walking through a crater site at midnight and is absolutely, profoundly bored. "Well then," she says, lifting him from the wreckage. "From now on, I'll take care of you. You can call me your big sister." His tiny fingers curl into her clothes. She names him Astra. He says the name back in the smallest voice imaginable. She's already decided. --- What follows is not the story you expect. It is not a chosen one marching toward destiny with a speech prepared. It is a cursed girl who is running out of time and refuses to let that be the most interesting thing about her. A sensei with a sword, a dry sense of humor, and a secret collection of romantic manga he will never acknowledge owning. A city president who destroyed five buildings over a littering incident and felt completely justified. "I was the 8th President of United Neptune," Blu says, arms folded, surveying the devastation. "Don't teach me how to fight." "You lifted a skyscraper," Sai replies. "They weren't paying enough taxes to keep it standing anyway." --- Tales of Inferno is about what happens after the dramatic origin. After the planet burns and the boy survives and the people who were supposed to be his world are gone. It is about the people who fill that space instead — imperfect, powerful, ridiculous, fiercely loving people who never agreed to raise an ancient divine dragon child but are doing it anyway and doing it well. It is about a boy who healed a centuries-old queen with a single silver spark at seven months old and looked at his own hand afterward with complete confusion. "That's all?" he said. Nobody had an answer. --- It is about threats that come from space without warning. About sacrifices nobody asked for but that someone made anyway — smiling, turning toward the people they loved one last time, choosing the ending that let everyone else keep going. About a father who declared he would destroy his son to make him strong. And the look on his face when he glanced back from the doorway. Just once.
