Community Service. Two words I should be thankful for, but I’m not. I resent the hours it’s away from building my business. When they push the little girl into the room, her crazy curls barely held back by the barrette in her hair, and studious glasses on her face, I can tell she’s scared. Something inside of me breaks, and I want this girl to feel wanted again. What I’m unprepared for is meeting her mom. The second our hands touch, there are fireworks, bright lights, and a picture of the future I could one day have. The future I’ve never allowed myself to wish for. Community service becomes more than a chore. In the months that follow, I realize they’re just like me: they’ve been abandoned, left behind by the world, forgotten by those who should love them. Thanks to the one last hope in both our lives - we found the light in the darkness we’d been searching for. Trick is created by Laramie Briscoe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

Kain was once a discarded prince — exiled, branded a murderer at only seven years old. Left to rot, he carved his own fate on the seas, rising as a pirate feared for his wit, defiance, and sharp tongue. Now, years later, he is dragged back into the world that betrayed him. Family ties, old grudges, and court politics collide with the scars he carries from exile. This is not a tale of noble knights and gentle heirs — it is a story of storms, sarcasm, betrayal, and survival. Of a pirate who never asked to return home, and a family that may not be ready for the man he has become. (Dark fantasy, sharp dialogue, and unexpected bonds await. The seas are just the beginning.)

A good-for-nothing husband, who has nothing but looks, is causing a ruckus. They live in a thatched hut, without a grain of rice, the family is emaciated like refugees. If that wasn't enough, someone even comes to collect debts! Anger rises in Qin Yao's heart, and she kicks the wretched husband out, "Debt collector, feel free to just beat him to death!" The four stepchildren: !!! With the world quieted, Qin Yao rolls up her sleeves to revive the family. Hunting, carrying bags, fighting bandits, she's an expert in all. But facing the fields, with her back to the sky, and her face to the earth, even a top-tier fighter from the post-apocalyptic world waves her hand: Can't take it! Really can't take it! Qin Yao scratches her head: In the ancient times where agricultural taxes are extremely high, how can I avoid farming? At this moment, the lazy husband who was sent away to die (twisting and crawling) (struggling to stand up) (screaming and roaring): My dear! I think I can be saved!
