Hanleigh loves books more than nearly anything in the world; whether its reading them or writing them, Hanleigh just can't get enough. She relishes in the way authors can create worlds with the words they put in their books. She loves the way your imagination introduces you to a new world when you read a book. It may well be a world completely foreign to the one you live in. That world is brought to life; inspiring you to dream, captivating your imagination and enticing your senses. Hanleigh first took to reading as a small child reading Dr Zeus. She then fell in love with romance literature when she first read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen; when she first swooned over Mr Darcy.

An heiress hell bent on breaking her parents' rules… A CEO struggling to maintain control... Two co-workers with a history they can’t delete… An artist running from her past… The man who wants nothing more than to protect her… A manwh*re doctor looking for a second chance with the only woman he’s ever loved… A detective and her jerk of a boss, hunting down a serial killer… And the hunky man who might just be one lucky girl’s Christmas Miracle…

Lu Shi returned to the British Isles in 1900 and inadvertently swept through the literary world, simultaneously leaving behind the proverb: "In the aspect of treating others, Great Britain has always been inappropriate." In the generations to come, the British people often recall this with deep emotion, pondering what kind of international spirit could make a Chinese person so deeply troubled by Great Britain, leaving behind such a prophecy...

Isabelle Cole, 26, is the epitome of composure. After her husband left her four years ago, she’s built her life around precision — raising her children, Becca (6) and Luke (5), while excelling as the executive assistant to powerful CEO Richard Hale. Richard sees her as indispensable — the calm at the center of his storm — but his wife, Elaine, sees her as a threat. When Richard brings in Robert Blake, an old friend, to lead a high-profile PR project, Isabelle's world tilts. Robert is cold, brilliant, and dismissive — and seems to believe she’s just another pretty face coasting on charm. She resents his arrogance, his condescension… and how much space he suddenly takes up in her professional life. But as Isabelle battles to prove her worth, another threat emerges — Deadlines start slipping, files go missing, and Isabelle begins to suspect sabotage. Piece by piece, she uncovers the truth through her sharp intuition and unflappable professionalism. That’s when Robert starts to see her differently. Not with warmth, but with respect. For the first time, something flickers behind his cool exterior: an awareness that Isabelle Cole is far more than anyone gives her credit for.

Há três ciclos e meio, algo aconteceu. Uma torre escura surgiu, maior do que qualquer coisa feita pelo homem. A torre, operis tenebra, elegeu 10 pessoas, que ficaram conhecidas como et cornibus. Estes, por ordens da torre, seduziram um terço da humanidade a adentrá-la através de promessas de poder e riquezas. As pessoas que aceitaram entrar na torre, foram corrompidas pela escuridão, tornando-se servos da torre sob o poder dos 10 et cornibus. Os vivos sofriam duras perseguições, de mortos, bestias e viri sanguinium, que sob os 10 reis, massacravam tudo o que era vivo. Porém a Luz interveio, Verbum e Album, deram aos homens o poder de Sua luz para que os homens pudessem lutar por suas vidas. Depois da vinda de Album, a era das peregrinações começou, onde todos peregrinavam em busca da terra santa, Operis Lucis. Em meio a todos os acontecimentos, um garoto tentava sobreviver e encontrando-se perto de seu fim pelas mãos dos mortos, Agnus, a Luz, interveio, e a partir daí a vida da criança mudou. Conheça Christian, e sua jornada, onde seus pés trilham entre quedas e levantes, trevas e luz, morte e vida, em busca da terra santa, Operis Lucis. . . . Avisos: Esta é uma breve sinopse, tentei deixar o mais curta possível. Eu já tenho uma centena de capítulos prontos, e desejo lançar um todos os dias aqui. Eu entendo que a grande parte dos trabalhos aqui estão em inglês, porém, eu não sei nada de inglês, então não quis me arriscar e traduzir tudo errado, e consequentemente estragar a obra. Não tenho ideia se a tradução do português para o inglês pelo tradutor ficará boa, por isso, peço que enviem comentários sobre isso! Pois caso a tradução fique ruim, eu posso tentar encontrar alguém para fazer uma tradução adequada para postar aqui! Também gostaria muito de avaliações críticas, para lapidar a narrativa. Além disso, não possue a imagem da capa. Favor, entrar em contato caso o seu proprietário deseje que eu a remova! Agradeço pela ajuda e a compreensão de vocês, boa leitura.

Under the misty and historically sedimented surface of London, there is a hidden current that ordinary people cannot imagine. Eighteen year old Alan Shaw grew up at the "Herbal Hall" Chinese medicine shop in Chinatown, East London, and was raised by a mysterious grandfather. He leads an ordinary to almost boring life: helping his grandfather manage the pharmacy during the day, smelling the fragrance of licorice and angelica; At night, they sweat and move cold goods in the dock warehouse. Fatigue is his norm, and occasionally when his fingertips brush over metal or candlelight, the fleeting strange "flowing sensation" is also attributed to his own overwork or nerve sensitivity. Grandfather's warning - 'Hide yourself, don't reveal anything special' - is the iron rule of his life. However, on a foggy midnight, fate rudely tore open the curtain of his peaceful life. On the shortcut in the abandoned shipyard area, Allen was dragged into the darkness by a sound that was not a human fight: the wild beast like roar tore apart the silence, and the metallic roar carried a piercing chill. Curiosity and an indescribable pull overwhelmed his fear of the unknown, leading him into the depths of the shadows of the steel ruins. There, he witnessed an unimaginable sight: a pale and swift ghostly figure ( Blood Clan ) engaged in a fierce battle with a muscular and partially beastly strong man ( Werewolf ) under the moonlight. Their power transcends the boundaries of physics, as blood light and claws pierce through thick fog. Even more deadly, a wild werewolf out of control sensed his gaze and charged straight towards him! At the critical moment, the suppressed and vaguely perceived "energy" in Allen's body fluctuated uncontrollably, like a stone thrown into a calm pond, instantly disrupting the invisible force field of the entire battlefield. This unexpected energy ripple not only exposed him, but also attracted the intervention of a mysterious woman who claimed to be the Guardian, Lena White. Her appearance saved Allen, but also plunged him completely into the hidden abyss known as' The Veiled World 'beneath the glamorous facade of London. Alan finally realized that the "energy" he perceived was the power of the origin of all things - Anima. Those who are born or awakened, able to perceive, absorb, and use spiritual energy like him, are called Animates. In this world, wizards weave arcades, witches communicate with nature, vampires (a blood race that claims to be the "Crimson Council") thirst for eternal life, werewolves (following the ancient "Silver Moon Oath") roar under the moon, and various forces such as alchemists, Druids, and psychic warriors maintain a fragile balance under ancient rules, hiding together in mortal society. And what broke this balance and caused a bloody storm was a mysterious organization called 'Ouroboros'. They crazily chased after the nine legendary Prime Glyphs left by ancient beings, each representing a subversive and almost world rule-based way of using spiritual energy, such as the "Weaving of Life" that manipulates life, the "Anchor Point of Time and Space" that interferes with time and space, and the "Return of All Things" that devours all things... They are powerful enough to rewrite reality and the ultimate treasure coveted by all ambitious people.
