Franklin nació del silencio que siguió a una masacre divina. Mientras los dioses del Panteón Solemne celebran su dominio desde las alturas, Franklin crece en las alcantarillas de Xurumani, llevando en su sangre el rastro de la misma corrupción que intentó borrarlo del mundo. No nació para ser un salvador, sino para convertirse en el parásito que devore al sistema desde dentro. Con una inteligencia fría y el poder de manipular el miasma que mató a sus padres, no usará espadas ni hechizos: usará el mercado, el miedo y la madera para construir un imperio que obligue a los dioses a bajar de su trono... y a pedir clemencia en el fango.

Until he crashlands on the Wynne Farm near St Anne, Alderney, Edmund Bolton will have insisted the most prudent thing about himself is his medical degree and his willingness to fight fascists. But of course it’s that island, and that farm – and that family. Aidan Wynne is tortured by the shame of others and tormented by a freedom he feels he can never possess. Until the handsome military doctor with far too much understanding and far too little self-preservation comes to turn his life on its head. The war makes fighters of all affected, but none so much as the lovers and those who must love quietly. Often, the fray has less to do with weaponry and bloodshed, and everything to do with keeping tame a passion that seeks to send the world up in flames without burning oneself up in the process. "Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day, live and die on this day." Fray is created by Li Walt, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

"Cafra" is a dark fantasy light novel that revolves in the world of Philippine mythology. Monsters born from myths and human corruption destroy his world, Cafra is forced to leave behind a peaceful life and face evil threatening humanity from the shadows. Cafra uncovers a conflict between ancient cosmic beings, Sandipa, guardian of the sun, and Val’Zhemyr, a dark creature who wants to devour the Sun.

In a divided city where power isn’t voted for but spoken into existence, a secret hierarchy rules from the shadows. At the top sits the Don — a figure as untouchable as a prime minister, chosen not by the people, but by a rare, overwhelming ability tied to a phrase so powerful it shapes reality itself. In this world, some people are born with abilities derived from famous phrases — short lines that carry immense symbolic meaning. A boy who inherits “Actions speak louder than words” can mute opponents’ powers unless they physically act. Another with “Time waits for no one” can accelerate or slow moments around him. These phrases define status, wealth, and survival. Two boys from the lowest district — reckless, ambitious, and tired of living powerless — discover they each carry dormant phrases thought to be myths. As their abilities awaken, they realize they might be capable of something unheard of: challenging the Don. But rising through the ranks isn’t just about strength. The world is controlled by syndicates, enforcers, and “Orators” — elite fighters trained to weaponize their phrases with precision. Every victory exposes deeper secrets: the origin of phrases, the truth behind the Don’s rule, and the cost of power itself. As the boys climb higher, their bond is tested by betrayal, ambition, and the growing realization that overthrowing the Don might not fix the world — it might break it completely. In the end, they must decide: Do they want to change the system… or become the very thing they set out to destroy?

"What do you want from me?" "Hey, you don't have to hurt yourself doing that. I'll let you go home— but you have to do something for me first." . . "They took Sofi; they have your daughter." ----------- One night. One abduction. One choice; Family or Career. A surgical resident, Liana's life takes a turn for the worst when her daughter, Sofi is abducted. In her quest to get her back, Liana violates her oath as a doctor, takes part in a homicide, and the game of losses begins when she gets framed. Caught in a brawl between her past and present, Liana has to make a choice one that links her to many she thought she had broken links with. For a woman whose dream has always been to work in the OR, everything fades slowly, and suddenly the focus is shifted, but she has to survive. Her freedom is utterly dependent on a man she has long hated, the father of her child and a CEO of a multimillion law firm. What choice will Liana make to clear her name? And what if the past isn't so bad, will love bloom, or will the horrors of the past cling to her this time too? ------ [EXCERPT] "That's Sofi! That's my daughter Sofi. Don't do anything to her, I beg of you. Please don't lay a hand on her, please." He smiled cynically, then gestured to the doctor to free her straps. "You know what to do. We are going to watch everything you do. You call the police or tell anyone about this, she dies. And you die. Someone will drive you home." "This is nothing close to a good time! You are a jerk!" She shouted at him as he walked out unbothered. The man in lab coat stayed a while longer, looking at her, then left.

His power is infinite. Her existence is the limiter. Akira was born with a mutation too powerful for a human body to contain. For years, an unseen limiter kept his strength buried until the day it shattered. Now, every surge of power threatens to tear him apart. The only thing keeping Akira alive is a mysterious tether binding his soul to Rin, a quiet girl who has been stabilizing his existence without his knowledge. When they’re together, his power calms. When they’re apart, it spirals toward catastrophe. Forced into brutal training under a mentor who knows the cost of limitless power, Akira must learn control before the fraying bond between them snaps for good. Because if that tether breaks, it won’t just destroy him... It will take Rin with him. And in a world that fears what it can’t control, infinite power may be the least dangerous thing about them.
