Salt And Silver

ahmad_skylark
Some wars are fought with swords. Others are fought with silence. The most dangerous kind are fought with the heart. Two kingdoms. One ancient wound. And two princes who were never supposed to meet. Rion, cold-blooded heir to the abyssal throne of Haesim, and Kael, sharp-tongued crown prince of the highland kingdom Myohyang, have been raised on the same story — that their kingdoms are enemies, that the sea and the land do not mix, and that whatever happened between their forefathers was a disgrace better left buried in the deep. When fate drops them both into the human world and seats them side by side in a Seoul classroom, neither is willing to bend. Neither is willing to look away either. But something older than their hatred is already stirring. In the archives of Haesim, certain scrolls are kept locked. In the fortress of Myohyang, certain portraits face the wall. Two kingdoms built their enmity on a story — but what if that story was never the whole truth? Rion and Kael came to the human world to learn its secrets. They did not come to uncover their own. Yet the closer they are forced together, the louder the silence between their bloodlines becomes — and history, it seems, has been waiting a very long time for someone to finally ask why. Salt and Silver is a slow-burn BL fantasy romance about rivalry, buried truth, and the kind of love that two worlds tried very hard to make impossible.

The Beast Within – The Bloodclaw (Volume 3)

The flight was only the beginning. Yulong has turned to ash, yet from the ash grow new shadows. The Dark King has changed his face—he now wears the features of a dead man, and those who look into his eyes do not see a stranger, but the neighbor from next door. His hunger is no longer his alone. His progeny roam the night, scenting life in the veins like ripe fruit, spreading like a curse across the land. Liyen follows a small flame. A tiny light in the darkness that neither flickers nor fails—the little Qi-Flame that dances through forgotten paths and leads her deeper, down into the earth where silence breathes and memories do not die, but wait. Down there, in the gullet beneath the world, the lost one is said to be. But what lurks in the depths is no prisoner—it is an exchange: A cage of flesh in which two breaths writhe—and only one may remain. Meanwhile, strangers open a door in the night. When this band of foreign adventurers appears in the darkness, the true journey has only begun. Instead of finding refuge, they find a blood-feast and smiles that almost reach the eyes. For sometimes the greatest danger is not the monster you fear, but the friend who smiles at you—whose teeth only show when the moon loses its blood. Now stands the choice: To speak the warning and be branded mad—or to remain silent and watch with living flesh as trust turns to slaughter. (Volume 3 of The Beast Within series – The Bloodclaw—a direct sequel to "Yulong") A story about how sometimes the monster does not lurk beneath the bed, but beneath the skin—and about what price it demands to wear a face that is not your own.
