The Ink of Forgotten Stars

FableForger
In a world where memories are carved into constellations and the dead linger as starlit echoes, Elara Vey is a scribe tasked with erasing the past. Her duty: redact painful memories from the sky under the watch of the Archivists, tyrannical scholars who control history to “purify” humanity’s future. But Elara harbors a treasonous secret—she’s addicted to the echo of her dead sister, a constellation she illegally preserves, clinging to the ghost of a voice that whispers warnings no one else can hear. When Elara discovers a forbidden star-map hidden in the Archives, she learns the truth: the Shattered Atrium, her labyrinthine city beneath a fractured celestial dome, is not a sanctuary but a cage. The gods imprisoned humanity here to protect the universe from their ancestors’ hubris—a primordial civilization that defied death and nearly devoured the stars. To expose the Archivists’ lies, Elara must wield lumen-ink, a liquid starlight that rewrites reality but dissolves her mind with every stroke. Aided by a sentient bone quill that hungers for forbidden truths and haunted by a nomadic star-cartographer, Arian, whose prosthetic arm glows with the light of a fallen god, Elara races to piece together humanity’s buried sins. But the ink’s power comes at a cost: every memory she erases resurrects fragments of the ancients inside her, their voices clawing at her sanity. Meanwhile, the Archivists’ ruthless master, Kaelis, offers her a chance to rewrite the past and resurrect her sister—if she condemns the world to eternal ignorance. As the Atrium’s dome cracks and primordial shadows seep through, Elara must confront the cruelest truth of all: some stars are better left unread.

Betrayal: Married To My Enemy After Divorce

Rosalie had spent the last two years devotedly caring for her husband, William, after he was injured in an accident—an accident that happened just as he was about to divorce her for not being able to give him an heir. But everything she believed in shatters when she discovers the cruel truth; William—the very same man who whispered promises to her ears, kissed the ground she walked on when he was courting her—had been faking his paralysis and cheating on her the entire time, with her best friend. The betrayal hit harder than the heartbreak she felt when William had suggested a divorce. “You shouldn’t be surprised. You can’t give me a child,” he said coldly, his voice like ice. Then, with no remorse, he threw the divorce papers in her face. “Let’s finish what we started two years ago. Let’s get a divorce.” Heartbroken but resolute, Rosalie wiped away her tears, signed the papers, and silently vowed to make him regret ever tossing aside her love and sacrifice. She returned to the powerful, wealthy family she had once walked away from—the family that had pampered her, begged her not to leave. Back then, she had wanted to build her own name, live a life untouched by privilege. A name she had tossed aside the moment she met William. Now, barely catching her breath, she faces a new twist of fate. “You’ll have to replace your sister and marry Matteo Valtieri,” her father who never once raised his voice at her said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “It’s the only way to solidify our family’s alliance.” Matteo Valtieri—a cold-hearted mafia boss who got what he wanted and eliminated anyone who stood in his way—couldn’t care less about the marriage. But despite their agreement to stay out of each other’s lives, he found himself drawn to Rosalie, and when he found out that she’d been cheated on by the man she once gave everything to, something in him snapped. Rosalie, too, found herself falling for Matteo—until she remembered he’d murdered someone close to her heart. And that was a truth she couldn’t ignore.
