Targeted for being killed by their father’s enemies, eighteen-year old Dawn Wyatt and her ten-year old brother Cole escape the capturers and literally plead to be taken in by a farmer's family. The family complies, but when the captors offer a huge reward of ten million dollars for the escaped siblings, the family betrays them. To save their lives, they flee the country. Dawn returns back five years later as a 'Bitten' werewolf and brilliant market analyst to carve her niche. And also to avenge those who turned her into a werewolf and took everything away from her, without realizing that she is a cynosure of multiple conspiracies. ------------- Daryn Silver is the lethally sexy Prince of a rare Silver Clan of pure blood werewolves. Cold, ruthless and merciless, he is arrogant. And she is bitten. He wants to eliminate all the bitten—the rogues from the face of the Earth. He's been hunting them down for years.

She realizes dangerous things about him - He is a pureblood werewolf and is the prince of a rare Silver Clan who every other pack bows to; He has had numerous girl-friends. In fact he had to get restraining orders from some of the crazy ones; He maneuvers her in his world with a proposal she never anticipated. Dawn uses that to her advantage! She knows she is playing with fire. ------------- She nodded and walked inside as he held the door open for her. As soon as she closed the door, Daryn held her hand and pulled her against the wall.  "Daryn…"  He leaned down and placed his hands on either side of Dawn. Their faces were an inch apart. Daryn parted his lips as if to say something. Dawn could feel all the heat that emanated from his body, from his breath. She clasped the cold wall and stared into his eyes. He drew a faction closer and her breathing hitched. Her mind left all the reasoning. This was not what she had expected in his office. It was the first time she had even stepped in there.  "I am unable to stop thinking about you Dawn," he whispered. She bit her lip to stop herself from touching his lips and feeling him.  Daryn grabbed the back of her neck and his lips fell on hers. She shuddered. At first he lightly brushed them and then his kiss turned deep, full of passion, which he had held back for a long time. It was getting harder and harder to not kiss her senseless, to feel her. And Dawn—she closed her eyes. --------- Join me in reading the adventurous journey of Dawn Wyatt and Daryn Silver. Like I said, this is going to be one suspense/thriller/steamy romance novel!

Thirteen Veins: Crescent & Star — Brotherhood Across Borders

Thirteen Veins: Crescent & Star — Brotherhood Across Borders

Thirteen Veins: Stars and Crescent – Brotherhood Across Borders In the shadows of global finance, geopolitics, and ancient alliances lie the Thirteen Veins—the invisible arteries connecting wealth, power, and survival across continents. This monumental epic saga weaves together the destinies of men from vastly different worlds: a European noble and jurist, a Southeast Asian strategist, a mountain tribal chieftain, a master of overland and maritime routes, a Middle Eastern tycoon, and an heir to steppe clans, among others—each holding a piece of an enigma that no single man could ever decipher alone. Bound by an ancient oath of brotherhood (Fair and Square), yet tested by ruthless commercial rivalries, political conspiracies, and secrets buried for centuries, they navigate between the opulence of imperial auction houses and the deadly peril of clandestine docks and isolated mountain gorges. What begins as a struggle for control over strategic resources and global trade routes soon transforms into a far deeper journey: the true meaning of camaraderie, loyalty, and unwavering trust. From the galleries and opera houses of Paris to the rugged peaks of Yunnan, from the Gulf deserts to financial hubs and the dark waters of imperial ports, each volume unveils new layers of conflict, wit, and sheer resolve. The Thirteen Veins are not merely financial networks or trade routes—they are the bonds of blood and honor that tie their fates together through every storm. Crafted with sharp precision, financial intrigue, and visceral combat, Thirteen Veins: Stars and Crescent – Brotherhood Across Borders is far more than a story about power and fortune: it is an epic of wisdom, presence of mind, and unbreakable fraternity, proving that even when the world demands you walk alone, true brotherhood never lets a brother fall.

Hydrangea of Crescent

Hydrangea of Crescent

I was sitting in my new home. A dark, creaky cage which was swaying with the movement of the ship. I was shivering from the cold and felt ill from the constant rocking of the waves. I looked in the cells surrounding me and saw girls the same age as me in them. Some of them were huddled, holding their knees close to their bodies, shivering just as I was. Others were sitting with their back straight and a smile on their faces, looking forward to where they were heading. And the rest were like me. Sitting with their head rested against the bars of their cage, their face emotionless as though they still couldn't quite comprehend that they were here, in the bottom of a ship, destined for the Sovereign. ~~~~~~~~~ Excerpt: The Sovereign. He had a name. I did not want to imagine him having a name, it made him seem more human. And he was not a human, he was a monster.

When the moon revolved around the earth, the relative positions of the earth, the moon, and the sun constantly changed, causing the observer to see the shape of the part of the moon illuminated by the sun from the earth, resulting in different moon phases. When the moon was full, the moon and the sun were on opposite sides of the earth. From the earth, the moon was almost completely bright. This phase of the moon was also called looking. The first quarter moon was a type of moon phase. At this time, the difference between the ecliptic of the sun and the moon was 90°, and half of the moon was illuminated. During the last quarter of the moon, the difference between the ecliptic of the sun and the moon was 270°. Similarly, half of the moon was illuminated, but it was different from the first quarter of the moon. The Emei Moon was divided into the upper crescent moon and the lower crescent moon.

The crescent moon, the crescent moon, the crown, the moon

Lost Bamboo Grove
The Lost Bamboo Forest was a vast bamboo forest in Fantasy Village, opposite the Monster Mountain. The bamboos in the bamboo forest grew at an angle. The dense bamboo leaves covered the sky, making the bamboo forest look deep and mysterious. Due to the rapid growth of bamboo and the changing scenery, it was easy to get lost in the bamboo forest. Not only was the bamboo forest vast, but the ground was also slightly slanted, causing people to lose their balance. Other than the bamboo cutter who was familiar with the bamboo forest, the others could easily get lost. In the bamboo forest, there was also a quiet big house called the Eternal Pavilion. Inside lived a mysterious human and rabbit. The Lost Bamboo Forest was also a place where demons liked to gather.

Poetry of the Bamboo Grove
Here are some poems related to the bamboo forest: - Wang Wei's "Bamboo Pavilion":"Sitting alone in the secluded bamboo, playing the piano and howling." People don't know how deep the forest is, but the bright moon shines on us." This poem depicted the deep and quiet atmosphere of the bamboo forest. The poet sat alone in the bamboo forest and played the zither. Accompanied by the bright moon, it showed a quiet, indifferent, elegant and unconventional artistic conception. - Qian Qi's "Late Spring Returning to the Mountain to Inscribe Bamboo in Front of the Window":"Spring at the mouth of the valley, yellow birds are rare, and the flowers of the magnolias and apricot flowers fly. At first I felt pity under the window of the secluded bamboo mountain, and did not change the clear yin waiting for me to return." The poem depicted the scene of late spring. There were few yellow birds at the mouth of the valley, and the flowers were scattered. The bamboo in front of the window still remained clear and gloomy, waiting for the poet to return, reflecting the persistence and friendliness of the bamboo. There was also Su Shi's saying,"It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo." No meat makes one thin, no bamboo makes one vulgar." They expressed their love for bamboo and the important spiritual significance of bamboo in people's living environment. In addition, there were many poems written by poets related to the bamboo forest. They showed the style of the bamboo forest from different angles and the various emotions and qualities that the poet gave to the bamboo.
