Embers Of The Night

As Mia drove through the bustling city streets, her heart began to race—not from the traffic, but from the chilling knowledge that a bomb had been planted in her car. The news had come through a frantic message on her phone, a warning from an anonymous source that sent her spiraling into a state of panic. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she fought to maintain control. With every red light, her dread deepened. She knew that the moment she stopped the car, the bomb would detonate. The thought of leaving her Lysander behind filled her with a profound sense of sorrow. They had so many plans, dreams of a future together that now felt impossibly distant. With trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed Lysander’s number. “Mi Amore?” Lysander’s voice came through, laced with concern. “What’s wrong?” Mia smiled sadly, he could always tell when something was bothering her and yet she was going to leave him. “Lysander , I need you to listen to me,” she said, her voice quivering. “ You’re a very great person. I never thought I would find this type of love. I only thought love like this was just a fairytale. But you….you….” Mia paused taking in a deep breath. “Anna? What’s happening? Is something wrong? You’re scaring me.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she turned her head towards the backseat where the bomb sat. How could she tell this to Lysander? She was going to die and leave him. She was going to leave him alone with the thoughts and dreams they shared. Silence hung heavy on the line, and Anna could almost hear the rapid beating of her heart. “I just found out…… I… I don’t have much time,” she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I’m so sorry, love. I won’t be able to see you again.” “Don’t say that! We’ll figure this out! Just tell me what’s happening? ” he urged, desperation creeping into his tone. “No, please, just listen. It’s too late now. I love you so much, and I want you to remember that. You’ve made my life so beautiful. I wish I could hold you one last time.” Her voice broke as she fought to keep her composure. “Anna, don’t—” “I have to go, Lysander . Just know that I’m always with you.” With that, she hung up, her heart shattering into a million pieces. She looked at the cliff ahead of her and stepped on the gas, the car racing towards the cliff. ************* In the heart of a bustling college town, twenty-year-old Anna Mia Harper is juggling classes, bills, and a growing sense of despair as an orphan navigating life on her own. Desperate for cash, she stumbles upon a peculiar job listing: a grave cleaner and companion for the dead at the local cemetery, promising a month’s rent for just one night of work. Excited by the prospect, Anna Mia arrives under the eerie glow of the moon, ready to face whatever the night may bring. But when she encounters a mysterious man lounging atop a tombstone—one who bears a striking resemblance to a deceased local legend—her heart races. Is he a ghost, a trick of the light, or something more sinister?

Devil's Advocate: Angel on Trial

In the boundless realm of Heaven, where celestial order reigns supreme, one trial has the power to change everything. Devil’s Advocate: Angel on Trial is a sprawling epic that challenges the very foundations of divine law, plunging its readers into a courtroom saga that spans over a thousand chapters, filled with twists, revelations, and moral conflicts that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Seraphiel, once a shining beacon of Heaven’s grace, now stands accused of the greatest sin in the eyes of the divine: heresy. Her crime? Defying the doctrine that has governed the heavens since the dawn of time. Yet, the truth of her actions remains shrouded in mystery. Was she truly guilty, or is there a darker force at work one that will threaten not just her soul, but the very fabric of celestial law? At the heart of this monumental trial stands Lucien, a fallen angel who has spent centuries in the shadows, exiled for his own transgressions. Now, summoned from obscurity to serve as Seraphiel's defense, he must navigate a court where nothing is as it seems. The Court of Eternal Judgment, the highest authority in Heaven, has always been revered as infallible but Lucien’s return signals the beginning of a reckoning. As he delves deeper into the trial, he uncovers hidden truths and forbidden secrets, suggesting that Heaven’s unblemished image is a carefully crafted lie. Lucien’s journey is no longer just about defending Seraphiel it becomes a battle for the very soul of Heaven itself. For every piece of evidence uncovered, every forbidden truth revealed, more questions arise. Why have angels been silenced for centuries? What is the true cost of unquestioning obedience? And how far will the celestial beings go to protect their own corrupt order? As the trial unfolds, Lucien faces not only the wrath of the Celestial Judges—Metatron, Uriel, Raphael, and others but the unsettling revelations that challenge everything he once knew about Heaven, the angels, and himself. The law that once bound Heaven in harmony now feels like a cage, one that keeps its denizens imprisoned in a system of fear, manipulation, and conformity. But Lucien is no longer the obedient angel he once was. With each new discovery, his resolve hardens. He will not stand by while Heaven’s corruption is swept under the rug. But the battle grows more complex as the celestial realms themselves begin to fracture. Other factions, long hidden from mortal and divine eyes, start to make their presence known. Some seek to uphold the old laws, while others like the rebellious faction led by Aethon, the First Prosecutor hope to tear the system apart from within. As the trial enters its most dangerous phase, Lucien must confront the heart of the celestial order itself. The lines between right and wrong, angel and demon, justice and tyranny, blur beyond recognition. The stakes have never been higher. Heaven’s very foundation hangs in the balance. And Lucien’s role as both advocate and challenger forces him to grapple with his own place in this world and whether he’s ready to expose the truth, no matter the cost. Will Lucien succeed in his mission to expose Heaven’s corruption, or will the ancient forces of divine law crush him under their weight? Can he save Seraphiel from an unjust fate, or will he become a martyr to a system that no longer believes in mercy? This is no ordinary courtroom drama. This is a war for the heart of Heaven. Devil’s Advocate: Angel on Trial is a thousand-chapter epic that weaves together courtroom strategy, divine intrigue, philosophical dilemmas, and action-packed sequences in a tale of redemption, betrayal, and the quest for justice. With each chapter, the web of lies unravels, exposing dark secrets and moral ambiguities that challenge the very nature of good and evil. Will Lucien—and by extension, Heaven survive the trial, or will it collapse under the weight of its own corruption?
