The SongBird's Shadow

N_J_Cooke
She was sold to a Prince. She was saved by a Beast. ​In the glittering, high-stakes world of the Forest Kingdom, "Violet Noir" was never a person- she was a prize. Sold by her own parents to cover a debt, she was bound by a golden cage to a Prince, a man whose royal title masked a soul of pure, unadulterated evil. On the night of her "wedding," she did the unthinkable: she jumped. ​Running into the freezing night with nothing but the clothes on her back and a voice she was too terrified to use, she falls into the path of a man far more dangerous than any prince. ​Roman Thorne is a titan of industry, a man of cold logic and jagged edges. He doesn't believe in fairy tales, and he certainly doesn't believe in heroes. But when his son was found by the Songbird in a nightclub, things changed. ​He gives her safety, protection and a home. And in return, she gives his young son, Adam, the mother he never had and Roman the one thing he can’t buy: a soul. ​But secrets as dark as Violet’s don't stay buried. As a Prince's shadow looms over the Thorne estate, Roman must decide how much he’s willing to burn to keep her. To the law, she’s a fugitive wife. To the Prince, she’s stolen property. But to Roman Thorne, she is Violet and he will dismantle a kingdom before he lets her fall again.

World martial art

Legends are not born. They are forged — through pain, defeat, and unbreakable will. Leo, a boy from a small village in Nepal, always believed he was ordinary. But everything changed the day a forgotten evil awakened in the mountains — the Dragon Spirit, once sealed away by Leo’s own father. Kaito Jin, a rogue wielder of beast power, breaks the seal and unleashes chaos. Leo tries to fight, but he is powerless. His father sacrifices himself to protect him. That day, Leo loses everything. But he gains one thing — a reason to rise. Carrying the scar over his left eyebrow, the memory of his father, and two unimaginable spirits inside him — the Lion King (Guardian of the Gods) and the Phoenix (God of Fire), a power connected to his mother’s soul — Leo begins a journey across nations. In China, ancient masters push him beyond his limits. In Korea, he learns discipline, philosophy, and inner balance. In Japan, he encounters powerful rivals and a girl who slowly changes his life. In India, Indonesia, and other countries, he faces challengers, builds friendships, and discovers new forms of martial arts. From international tournaments to mysterious beast realms, Leo must face fear, rivalry, loss, and the uncontrollable powers within him. Because one day, he must confront Kaito again. Not as a weak boy… but as the strongest martial artist the world has ever known. This is World Martial Art — a journey of strength, growth, destiny, and the flame that refuses to fade.
