Floodborn

Niku20
After the Great Thaw drowned the old world, humanity survived on floating cities called Hulls, scraping out a life on an ocean filled with monsters, pirates, and secrets the Hydrarchy would kill to keep buried. Gin Farcast has always been useful. On Hull-9, he is the dependable one—the man who fixes what others break, carries what others avoid, and gives more than he ever gets back. Everyone leans on him. Everyone takes from him. Even his girlfriend treats his loyalty like something owed. Then a rescue dive into a forbidden trench changes everything. What comes back with him is a rare and dangerous Floodborn strain rooted deep in his marrow, turning his blood and bones into living forges. For the first time in his life, Gin is forced to confront the truth: if he stays where he is, he will be used until there is nothing left of him. So he leaves. Guided by whispers of a hidden island recorded in the Currentscrolls, he begins a journey through wreck fields, floating cities, sea-beast hunts, pirate clashes, and ancient lies buried beneath the tide. To survive, Gin must grow stronger, build a crew of his own, and learn what kind of man he wants to become when no one is left to decide for him.

Love, Lust and Liars

Ropyr Woods has built her life on control, resilience, and reinvention. At twenty-eight, she’s no longer the heartbroken girl left behind in Honey Bell, South Carolina—she’s a thriving business owner with a reputation for strength and independence. Her relationship with Jeremy Lane is steady, safe, and everything her younger self once thought she needed to move on. With him, life is predictable. Manageable. Secure. Then Davis Lewis comes home. Once Honey Bell’s golden boy—and the boy who shattered her—Davis traded small-town love for the promise of a professional baseball career, leaving Ropyr to pick up the pieces alone. But when a career-ending injury forces him back into the very town he once couldn’t wait to escape, old memories don’t just resurface—they ignite. When Jeremy leaves town for a week to handle family matters in Colorado, Ropyr finds herself face-to-face with the past she never truly buried. Davis isn’t the same reckless dreamer who walked away years ago. He’s quieter now, haunted, carrying regrets he can’t outrun. And the chemistry between them? Still undeniable. Still dangerous. As long-buried truths begin to unravel, Ropyr is forced to confront the choices that shaped her life—and the lies she’s told herself to survive. Because love isn’t always loyal, lust isn’t always harmless, and the past has a way of rewriting everything you thought you knew. In a town where everyone knows your name—and your secrets—Ropyr must decide: hold on to the life she built… or risk everything for the love that once destroyed her.
