It gets pretty action/adventure heavy later, and I believe you will like the variety of sea creatures, monsters, and various Greek Gods that make appearances throughout the book. And when I say ‘Greek Gods’, I don’t mean your typical Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades trio. Poseidon plays a large part, but have you ever wondered about the Titans, like Cronus? What were their origins?

Just giving you a heads up! ;)

Chapter 1Bon Voyage

The sun was barely visible behind the gathering storm clouds. 'There wasn't any mention of rain in the forecast for today; stupid app.. I hope it doesn't ruin the trip..'

 The thought echoed within Serenity's mind as she stepped onto the deck of the ship. It was her first time going on a cruise, but not her first time near the ocean. Her uncle owned a fishing boat that took tourists out for deep sea fishing.

 Nearly every weekend and every summer, she would work as a deck hand, or a disgruntled waiter when she had to. This was nothing like her uncle's boat; neither in size or smell.

 The cruise had been a spur of the moment decision with some of her college friends. Most were already onboard, but one always took his sweet time. As Serenity looked around, she spotted her friend trying to make his way through the crowds of people gathered to wish the travelers Bon voyage.

 Matthew had been her best friend since grade school, and the first boy she had ever liked. Serenity's parents had gone through a nasty divorce with a heated custody battle. The experience had nearly turned her off of romance altogether, but her feelings for Matt never changed.

 He was kind, positive, and listened to her constant rants and complaints about her parents. He'd literally saved her sanity over the years by being her rock.

 Their solid friendship was the exact reason Serenity could never tell him how she felt. Matt was the best kind of guy, but she always thought that he saw her like a sister. The chance of her freaking him out with her confession was too high, so she'd never told him. She couldn't bear to lose him..

 Reaching the top of the gangway, Matt dropped the five bags he was carrying with a huff; "Why did NO ONE help me?! Did you see the crowds?!"

 Serenity grinned broadly; "Hey, I helped by grabbing my own bag. You're the one that lost the bet, not me. You should appreciate my mercy, not hold their lack of it against me."

 Matt stared at Serenity flatly; "That's cold, Ren.. That's just cold. After all I've done for you-"

 "Do you really want to get into who owes who? I believe I have a juvenile record because of you! Now move it! You're blocking the way for the last few people trying to get on."

 As Matt followed behind her, he bellowed; "It was a curfew violation! It's not like you got caught with weed or anything!"

 Finding a clearing, Serenity replied; "And do you remember how black and blue my dad had left my ass for that?!"

 Matthew visibly flinched at his best friend's rebuke. He could never forget the week-long harassment from the teachers because she couldn't 'sit in her chair properly'. Then the subsequent child abuse charges that were filed against her father. She hadn't seen him since, and didn't want to.

 "Come on, let's go find the others and start having some fun! We're all gonna be swamped with work and studying when we get back, so we need to cram as much fun in now as we can! Come on, I'll help!"

 Matt grinned at his best friend and the love of his life. He was planning on finally asking her out while they were on the cruise, but remembering his failure made him doubt she'd reciprocate.

 He knew he was responsible for not only Serenity's beating, but the events that had followed after. He didn't know if she would accept his feelings, but he had to try. The warmer it got, the more competition he'd get.

 Serenity had long, curly red hair, a curvy body, and eyes so crystal blue that they nearly glowed at night. They had mesmerized Matthew the moment he'd met her, but her personality is what made him fall in love with her.

 She was intelligent and opinionated, but never insulting. She was also the kindest and most laid-back person he'd ever met. Watching movies and playing board games were a few of her favorite things, but she also deeply loved the ocean.

 Serenity was studying Marine Biology, and was specializing in Coral Ecology. She wanted to figure out a way to stop the reefs from disappearing. She wasn't sure yet if she wanted to go the genetics route, or stick to pure study.

 The latter was MUCH less school, but it didn't matter what she chose. Matt would support her in whatever career path she chose. He wanted her happy.

 His major was in the Marine Sciences as well, but specifically Cetology, or 'whaleology' in Laymans terms. He was currently studying Western Grey Whales and their migration patterns.

 Originally, Matthew had wanted to study Spade-Toothed Whales, but they're far too rare. Only two specimens had ever been found in the past one-hundred and forty years, or so. Which was fine with him since he just wanted to be near the ocean, and Serenity.

 Finding their friends in the crowds took forever. The ship was pulling away from the dock by the time they'd all met up. People waved and yelled to their loved ones as their faces and details slowly obscured, then disappeared into the distance.

 Serenity felt a little strange waving goodbye to random strangers, but her friends had told her it was a weird tradition to wave regardless.

 Watching the shoreline shrinking away had suddenly made Serenity feel very nervous. 'Maybe it's the storm clouds? I've been out at sea a million times, so why do I feel like something bad is gonna happen?'

 As the crowds thinned, Serenity pulled out her phone and spoke; "Hey, did anyone's weather app say anything about rain today? Mine is still saying clear skies, but that's obviously crap."

 All six friends looked up at the ash-colored sky. The farther away from land they sailed, the closer the clouds became. The ones in the distance looked as dark as night, which dampened the spirits of the hopeful college students.

 A lot of the first day activities were on the deck. They were lucky the cruise line had indoor events that could be swapped out in case of bad weather. After all the passengers found and set their things in their rooms, the staff went over the extensive safety drills and precautions.

 Afterwards, a lunch buffet was prepared. The friends shared a rounded table with an elderly couple from Ohio that talked a Lot about their grandkids. Serenity found it sweet, but her friends found it slightly annoying after the first three dozen pictures and stories.

 Matt watched Serenity politely continue talking with the elderly woman while the man read the table, and sat quietly eating. The four other friends with them began conversing amongst themselves.

 Taylor and Maria had been dating since their freshmen year of high school, and he was planning on proposing in a couple of days. Michael and Layla were paternal twins, and in the middle of another argument when the Captain's voice came over the intercoms.

 "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for joining us for your vacation! I apologize for the cancellation of the First Night Luau, but we promise to make it up to you over the next five days. Until then please enjoy our wonderful food and drink buffet!"

 As he went to step away from the microphone, a staff member ran over to him and whispered something in his ear. He was sweating, and his shirt collar was a bit disheveled. The look on the Captain's face when he pulled away caused Serenity's heart sink, and her stomach to knot. He looked like he'd seen death.

 After saying a few hasty words to the other man, he quickly ran off with panic in his eyes, and sweat on his forehead. The foreboding feeling Serenity had earlier reared it's ugly head again as the Captain did his best to look nonchalant.

 Most didn't notice, but his hand shook slightly as he grabbed and adjusted the microphone. Serenity looked over at Matt, whom had noticed the tremble as well.

 As the Captain began to speak, the two directed their attention to the front; "I'm sorry to say this folks, but we're about to experience some rough weather. The clouds we've sailed most of the way through have begun to turn into a tropical depression. I urge you all to return to your rooms, secure your belongings, and be ready to follow proper safety procedures."

 Murmurs brimming with doubt and panic began to fill the room, prompting the Captain to continue; "We will keep you up to date as the system develops, and we steer clear from it. Don't worry, I've sailed through worse on smaller ships. My crew will keep us all safe. I bet my life on it."

 Most of the passengers seemed put at ease by the Captain's words, but not Serenity and Matthew. They shared a nervous look as the rain began to beat down on the skylight windows with fury. Lightning flashes began to increase at an alarming rate, and the claps of thunder were growing louder and louder. The entire thing seemed like the opening to a disaster movie to them..

Islinda and the prince were worlds apart but that didn't stop them from falling in love.  Unfortunately, Prince Valerie couldn't stay in the human realm forever and had to return to his kingdom with a promise to come back for her. And she believed him.  But then, the other one comes instead.  Dark, broody, ruthless yet dangerously handsome, everyone feared Prince Aldric. Even as a fierce warrior and son to the king of Astaria, Aldric is denied his right to the throne and cursed never to take his place because of his dark heritage.  Twisted from the inside and starved of affection, Prince Aldric does what he is best at, causing misery. He captured  Islinda - the woman who has drawn his brother's attention. He stole her from her home for his cruel purpose. If he couldn't have the throne, he could at least play around with his brother's love interest. His new prize.  Islinda hated him. Loathed him for taking away everything that she could have had with the summer prince. He's the villain. Now she has been dragged into the middle of the dirty politics played in the courts of Astaria, not to mention surviving the cold games played by the prince.  But all hope wasn't lost because the cruel prince could tempt her all he wants but he was never going to get the one thing he wants the most. To be loved. He would never have her heart!  Or could he?  ________ "What can you offer me, little human," He grinned, slow and cruel. She would make such a wonderful plaything.  "Please," She begged him, tears now gathering in her eyes, "Just let me go."  "Fine," He shrugged as if it was an easy request, "You can go."  "W-what?" She croaked, finding it hard to believe.  "Little human, you would find out my mind changes very easily." Those words sounded merciful yet she could sense the threat beneath.  But did he really mean?  Islinda didn't sit around to find out as she broke into a sprint. If there was even the slightest chance of him changing his mind, then she would take it. She would not give up hope yet.  She didn't know why but Islinda spared a look over her shoulder after a while and the blood drained from her face at what she saw coming.  Oh no, she just made a terrible mistake.  This was never freedom.  It was a hunt.  And she just became the prey.  _________ Note: This is a dark fantasy book and the male lead is a villain, so don't expect fluffy romance. What to expect? Death, gore, thick sexual tension, and explicit scenes. Also, it is not reverse harem. Gift magic castle = 5 bonus chapters! Come, let us have a wild hunt!

Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas

Valerie, the daughter of the murdered Alpha of the Yellow Stone Pack, could never lead the pack because she had a Luna wolf. Her mate, Tristan, was made the Alpha in her stead. After assuming the title of Alpha, Valerie was set up and brutally rejected, not only by Tristan but also her whole pack, and her kid sister, Scarlet, with whom Tristan had secret affairs. “I reject Luna Valerie as my mate. She was caught in bed with a stranger, meaning that she would sell the pack out. The punishment for treachery is death,” Alpha Tristan announced heartlessly. The chants from the pack members and visiting Alphas who had come for the Alphas' conference attracted them to the judgment. No one thought that Alpha Denzel, whose name caused the hairs on their skin to stand straight due to his ruthlessness, would make it to the conference. Valerie found hope when she realized that Alpha Denzel was her second chance mate, but painstakingly, she was rejected once again. The double rejection caused her to lose her wolf, and she was condemned to die by all the Alphas present. She thought her fate was sealed when Alpha Denzel left and a warrior was ready to execute her. Everyone was shocked when Alpha Denzel suddenly turned around. “Stop! The treacherous daughter of a late Alpha should not be killed. More suffering awaits her,” he declared. Valerie’s heart dropped when she saw his dark look, which was like a bottomless pit, as she blacked out from exhaustion. A few months down the line, there was a war among the Alphas as they began to lay claim to the two-times-rejected Luna. With her wolf dead, will the moon goddess be gracious to give her another wolf? And which Alpha would be able to melt her now cold heart?

Omega's Rebirth

What was worse than death itself? Well it was dying knowing that no one would miss you, knowing that your death was a favour to everyone you ever knew. This was exactly how I felt the day I died. I was the love child of the Eclipse Alpha King, in a time where the mate bond was considered sacred, a child born out of wedlock was nothing short of sacrilegious... 'It was his fault, he loved someone other than his mate...' 'It was his fault, he had carnal knowledge of a human woman.' 'It was all his fault, my only crime was being born out of his lust.' But why was that Alpha King father of mine perfectly safe, while I was hated, scorned and blamed for everything instead? Why did I have to be my father's bargaining chip, used to achieve his goals? Why could I not get a rejection like everyone else but was instead murdered by my own mate? Why was I killed before I even had a chance to live? I had a thousand questions and yet there was no one to answer and this was exactly how I died... So why then did my eyes flutter open to that day, a month before my death? Was it because of my little secret? A secret I will tell no one else but you... From the title of my tale, you must think I am an omega wolf... No, you got it wrong... I am not an Omega wolf, I am an Alpha wolf and my name is Omega. ~Second Book in the Werewolf Rebirth Series. *Not a prequel or sequel to 'The Alpha King's Nemesis', both books are not related save for the world setting and Werewolf Rebirth concept. *Cover art sourced from the internet, all credits to the original artist.*

Abyssal Awakening

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her. Discord: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Author Notes: This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

Of all the books I’ve read on webnovel, THIS is the one I’d want on my bookshelf!! I absolutely love the characters, the adventure, the dialogue, the humor, and the relationships. It ticks all the boxes for me. The book just completed yesterday, and I’ve read it start to finish. Hands down, I fully recommend it! I love the way Sara writes. This is my first read by her, but I will definitely be following and reading more. Every chapter brought something new, no fluff chapters to pad the story. If you think it starts slow (I don’t remember it doing so, but trust me—), I promise the groundwork is worth the reward. She has a plan, and she follows it! She’s also very involved and responds to comments and loves engaging with readers, if you like that. I will say there’s quite a bit of language, lots of f-bombs. I normally avoid that. For me, though, it felt appropriate for the situations. But if that really, really bothers you, heed the warnings she gives at the beginning of chapters. I actually thought it was a very clean novel, except for maybe a couple spots where she clearly lets you know at the start of the chapter. But don’t think because it isn’t riddled with bedroom scenes that this isn’t a romance! This is a love story to remember!! You will fall in love with the characters and their relationships! You feel the depth of their emotions by the way they interact and not simply because you were told they love each other, and for me, that’s a sign of an excellent story. “Show don’t tell.” Read it! This one is staying in my library, and I plan on revisiting my favorite characters in the furure. 💙 Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! I have loved it from cover to cover!
