Incarnate: The Tale of War

Rumari
The world is steeped in death. Disease, famine, drought, war, monsters, and men have all left their marks upon it. It was created by careless gods and left beneath the rule of powers too distant, too cold, or too emotionless to care. It should be a place where hope withers before it can take root. And yet, life endures. Cur was born into expectation. As the son of nobility, he is watched by his parents, measured by his peers, and weighed against a future chosen for him long before he could understand it. Recognised as a Flame Borne, one of the few born with the power to create and control fire, he appears destined for honour, service, and military success. From the outside, his life looks privileged. Safe. Certain. But Cur carries secrets that threaten him every day. The greatest of them is impossible to explain and dangerous to reveal: Cur is not alone within his own body. Two souls inhabit him — his own, and that of the one who came before. To survive, he must learn to face the conflict within himself, even as the world beyond him sharpens into something just as cruel. Because in a world built on death, endurance is not the same as peace.

Dark bargain: The Wolf's Bride

DARK BARGAIN The Wolf’s Bride Her father sells Rose to a monster. The beast calls her bride—then bows as if she is royalty and whispers, “Found you." At sixteen, Rose is traded to Prince Lucien to save her dying sister, the one person she cannot bear to lose. Hidden in an ancient forest, Lucien’s mansion holds a vanished bride, a locked west wing, and a silver collar restraining something monstrous. By night, Lucien becomes a black wolf. Beautiful, cold, impossibly old, and somehow familiar with Rose’s name, he claims to protect her while watching her like prey. He offers tenderness with one hand and tightens the leash with the other, insisting he wants only what was promised—though every glance suggests he has awaited Rose long before she was born. As their dangerous attraction grows, Rose uncovers a buried bargain, a blood curse, and a ritual planned for the next full moon. Lucien says it will save them both, but refuses to name the price. Her blood may free him, yet kill her—and leave her sister without the cure Rose was promised. Someone is lying. Perhaps Lucien is telling the truth in the most dangerous way possible: giving Rose just enough of it to make surrender feel like her own idea. Before the altar claims her, Rose must learn why she was chosen and decide whether saving her sister is worth surrendering her freedom, her future, and the part of herself Lucien is awakening. He may want her heart, her blood, or both—and the more fiercely he tempts her to trust him, the less certain she becomes that his desire is a weakness she can use. She must choose whom to betray, and whether the monster she fears is the only one who has ever offered her a choice. Some bargains are inherited. The most dangerous are made before you’re born.
