A Deal with Mr. Blackwood

With a stepmother comes a stepfather—but for Loretta, the cruelest truth was this: her own mother treated her worse than either. “You will marry in your sister’s place,” her mother declared, her voice cold and final. Loretta’s breath caught. “Why? Isabella is the one who caused all this. Why must I pay for her mistakes?” Because the man waiting for her was no ordinary groom. Everyone knew Kevin Goodman was cursed. Two wives—both dead within a week. A fiancée—gone before the engagement day had even ended. To be tied to him was to walk willingly into the jaws of death. Yet, bound by his grandfather’s will, Kevin needed a wife… and an heir. He was the rightful successor to a vast empire—the kind of man women once dreamed of marrying. But now? What was wealth… when it came with a death sentence?

In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines.

Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com

I wasn’t supposed to be there. I’ve been slipping into his house for months. But he never stopped me. I enter his mansion when he leaves. I know every camera, every code. I sit in his chair, breathe in his scent, imagine his skin against mine. He always knew. That night, for the first time, he confronted me face to face. He didn’t call security. He didn’t shout. He only asked why. And I—who thought I was the hunter—am about to realize. I might have been the prey all along. Because when the game turns real… there’s no going back.

When the universe awakens after ages of silence, it senses the Abyss approaching—an ancient void filled with creatures that seek to consume all existence. To survive, the universe must choose a Guardian Race, a species worthy of wielding its power and defending reality itself. But no race is chosen. Instead, the Awakening sends out a call across the stars, summoning countless civilizations into the Guardian Trials—a vast series of challenges that test strength, spirit, intelligence, unity, and will. Every competing species believes it deserves the mantle; every one of them is prepared to fight for it. Humanity, still young and relatively unknown, finds itself thrown into a struggle far larger than anything it has faced before. Surrounded by advanced empires and rival contenders, humans must rise far beyond their limits, forge unexpected alliances, and prove their evolution has only just begun. All races stand equal. None have been chosen. And as the Abyss draws closer, the universe waits to see who will earn the right to defend creation.
