    Summary

    Eight-year-old Rayne Martinez lies dreaming in the Murto Ward—a place where children are hidden, contained, and forgotten. But Rayne is no ordinary child.

    On the night of a terrible desert storm, her sleeping mind spills open, unleashing power too vast to understand and too raw to control.

    As lightning splits the sky and rivers rise in fury, Rayne's fear reshapes the world around her. This is the moment her story begins, not in light, but in darkness, with a dream she cannot escape and a storm that bears her name.

    Framed as a sacred tale told beside a fire, this opening session introduces a love story forged in silence, a friendship that will change everything, and a girl who dreams too deeply to be forgotten.

    Summary

    Фауст - письменник з псевдонімом Олекса Київський. Він збирає релігійний фольклор Зони. В його житті з'являється суперник на ім'я Марк Аврель, що також описує в своєму блозі фольклор Чорнобильської зони.
    В намаганнях позмагатися за увагу читачів, Фауст порушує своє правило і їде наперекір всяким правилам в Зону за сенсацією, де і бачить її в церкві. Та тільки от опиняється в неправильному місці і в неправильний час.

    В кінці історії читач має змогу скласти з знесених слів послання, що і буде передавати суть даної історії.

    Summary

    "Los Andes no devuelven lo que toman (The Andes don't give back what they take)." - Chilean saying

    "He’s spent years living on the periphery of Marcelo’s life, tagging along behind Eduardo and waiting to catch a moment of Marcelo's attention. Marcelo’s easy charm and winning confidence have been on display more times than Fito can count, whether on the rugby pitch, by Daniel’s pool, or around a crowded table at La Mascota. But this attention feels different, charged in a way that sends an exhilarating thrill down his spine."

    Summary

    En la noche de su ritual prematrimonial, Tigrilla se adentra sola en el bosque para purificar su cuerpo y su espíritu antes de la boda que su padre ha concertado. Sin embargo, sus pensamientos se llenan de dudas y temores: ¿cómo puede convertirse en esposa de un hombre al que apenas conoce?

    Mientras suplica en silencio a los espíritus que le enseñen lo que debe saber, una figura inesperada irrumpe en su soledad: el Capitán Garfio, exhausto y vulnerable. El antiguo enemigo se convierte en el único testigo de sus miedos… y quizá en alguien capaz de mostrarle su primera experiencia de lo que significa ser una mujer adulta.

    Summary

    Kidnapped at the tender age of 8, Kaelix was unfamilliar with public etiquette aside from what he was taught at the brothel. His life before then? Unknown. His only solace from all that is negative was his mentor, the oiran of House of the Night, Shu. Shu had taught him everything he knows from cooking, making tea, sowing, writing, talking, reading, flower arrangement, drawing, and even singing and dancing. As well as dealing with his first heat and thereafter.

    Shu meant the world to him.

    His world, however, is forced to expand, when one of Shu's clients, an alpha nobleman, takes notice of him. The brothel taught him everything, but who knew he could learn more...just from the kindness of a stranger.

    Summary

    This is a collection of the author’s short stories that deals with women's dilemmas in the Indian social milieu accompanied with unique denouements.
    While 'Ilaa's Ire' contrasts woman's lot of the day with her eminence in the Vedic Age, '201' Qualms" depicts her predicament, torn between personal loyalty and citizen's responsibility.
    As "?" addresses woman's marital stress in an alien land, 'Cupid's Clue' is about her acting on rebound in her native place.
    Even as 'Autumn Love' lets woman discover the marital void in her life, 'A Touchy Affair' makes her amenable to her man's other woman.
    Just as 'Love's How's That' inflames woman's old flame, 'A Hearty Turn' brings her innate lesbian leanings to the fore.
    If 'Love Jihad' bridges lovers' religious divide with a secular plank, 'Tenth Nook' creates her marital gulf on the materialistic ground.
    While 'Eleventh Hour' is about woman's lust for love, 'Twelfth Tale' underscores her zest for power.
    'An End Without An End', a later-day addition, is about the way one is impacted by the death of his old flame.

    Summary

    In a stream of consciousness mode, this is the self-account of the life and times of a man, who liquidates his immense wealth only to consign it to the flames.
    The agony and ecstasy of his life as he makes it big in our materialistic world and the way he loses his soul in the bargain, only to regain it when tragedy strikes him makes one ponder over the meaning of success in life.
    This philosophical ‘novel of a memoir’ is a compelling read that is conducive to contemplate about the nature and scope of human relationships.
