CURSED BY MIDNIGHT

Manueth
Cursed by Midnight Some secrets were meant to stay buried… but Isla Blackwood can’t look away. Seventeen-year-old Isla Blackwood has lived in the shadow of her mother’s disappearance for years. All that remains is a memory—and a strange pendant tied to a whispered name: the Midnight Circle, a secret cult with roots in the kingdom's darkest past. Determined to uncover the truth, Isla defies her caretakers and sets out on a dangerous path. Along the way, she crosses paths with Caius Nightshade, a sharp-tongued thief bearing a cursed mark, and Finn, a quiet survivor who shares her pain. Together with a strange stray dog named Melodias, they journey deep into forgotten villages, spectral ruins, and grim legends to stop the Midnight Circle before their plan reaches its deadly end. As the pieces of a horrifying legacy fall into place, Isla must face the truth about her past—and the role she’s meant to play in the battle for what remains. -Manueth

The One That Mends A Broken Heart

Have you ever seen enough "love" around you that makes you question if it's still real or not? Are other people's heartaches enough for you to consider closing that aspect in your life? Is the history of "love" in your family enough to make you realize, love isn't what the books tell you? But, would you really deny the true meaning of "loving somebody" just to prevent yourself from future heartbreak? Or would you consider opening your heart to such probability? Achan Allare, a boy who spent his life running from his father’s legacy. A man once revered as the greatest Babaylan, a Shaman. Yet, despite this glory, he hated this man, ever since he could remember, for the truth: his father was no miracle worker, only a con artist who preyed on desperate souls. And when that deception caught up with him, it cost him his life. Now, Achan lives a quiet, ordinary life, far removed from superstition and false hope. Until they come, an influential family who's desperate enough to believe in such supposed gifts. A young man, dressed in suit and tie, took him and demand Achan take his father’s place, to continue the practice of healing, to restore the health of their company's sole heir. How would he convince these desperate souls when they are at the edge of their breaking point. No natural nor scientific remedy could ever save their heir. He knows the price of pretending. But, could he actually not do anything? As he resists, he uncovers unsettling secrets about his father, about the power and influence these people wield, and about the unseen forces that may not be fraudulent after all. With his freedom slipping away, Achan must decide: fight against a truth he never wanted to believe, or embrace the very deception that destroyed his father before it destroys him too?
