The House at the Landing

Markus_Brenna
~~This is a slow build story set in a rough village in a fantasy world I’ve created in my own mind over the last 4 years. A way for me to explore if this world is deep enough. My story has a planned ending and won’t go on forever. Hopefully you’ll enjoy, but if you’re into fast action this book ain’t for you.~~ When the owner of Sprayhaven is found dead in the shingle below Cliffwake, eighteen-year-old Kellan Rook inherits the last place he should ever have to run. He tells himself it is only a hard, dirty house by the sea: a place of drink, rented rooms, passing sailors, and women from Breaker’s Rest. A place that can keep his family fed. But Cliffwake is rougher than that. Men come to Sprayhaven for pleasure, for privacy, and for things they would never dare name in daylight. As Kellan struggles to hold the house together, he is drawn into a world of compromised loyalties, false trails, buried accounts, and whispered blood-magic hidden beneath ordinary labor. The deeper he digs into the death of the former owner, the more he begins to understand that Sprayhaven was never just a tavern. In Cliffwake, every room has a price. Every secret leaves a stain. And some houses do not let their new masters stay innocent for long.

Reincarnated as Duryodhana in Mahabharata

Aditya was just an ordinary young man from the modern world — until a sudden accident ended his life and sent his soul into the body of Suyodhana, the eldest prince of Hastinapur. In this new life he is the boy history will one day call Duryodhana — the cursed prince fated to start the greatest war the world has ever seen. But Aditya is not alone. A mysterious Karma System has come with him, rewarding every kind choice and warning him when darkness creeps too close. Armed with his twenty-first-century knowledge and a burning desire to change the future, Suyodhana sets out to rewrite the tragic story of the Mahabharata. He heals his father Dhritarashtra’s blind eyes, wins the true loyalty of the mighty Karna and the forest archer Eklavya, and gathers his young friends in a quest to stop the bloody Kurukshetra war before it can begin. Yet destiny is far more stubborn than he imagined. As Suyodhana and his companions journey through glowing mountains, face ancient trials of the heart, and challenge the will of gods and sages, a deeper shadow begins to stir. Something far more dangerous than the coming war hides in the forgotten corners of this world — an ancient evil that the old legends never dared to name. Will Suyodhana truly become the hero who saves everyone he loves? Or will the heavy name of Duryodhana slowly pull him back into the darkness he is trying to escape? A tale of friendship, second chances, and cosmic fate — where one boy’s modern heart must decide whether he will break the chains of destiny… or become the very monster the world already fears.
