The Black Testament of Illumination by Aion Voss

About The Black Testament of Illumination by Aion Voss

In every age, the Light is born from Darkness.
The Black Testament of Illumination is not a book to be read—it is a scripture to be remembered.
Within its pages lies a forbidden revelation: that the shadow you fear is the gate to the divine you seek.

Drawing from ancient mysticism, gnostic insight, and the silent language of the void, this work unearths the path by which the soul ascends through the black fire of awakening. Each chapter is an initiation, guiding the seeker to confront illusion, embrace chaos, and ignite the secret flame of illumination buried within.

If you have felt the call of something deeper—something dark, divine, and beautifully dangerous—answer it.

Step into the Black Testament. Let the darkness speak your true name.

When Two tops collide

About When Two tops collide

What happens when two tops declare war against each other in love and lust?

What begins as a petty relationship between an Alpha and an Enigma who likes to sleep with the Alpha’s lover turns into something passionate.

He took the Alpha’s lover.
The Alpha marked him.

Now, the once-proud Enigma—once known for topping and tossing—got tossed around.

No matter how many times the Enigma tries to reclaim control, going to clubs, hooking up, running from what happened, he always wakes up tangled in the Alpha’s sheets. Breathless. Spent. Cursing.

……

“I hate you,” Zixuan whispered tiredly as he glared at the monster in human form.

“I know, but I love you,” Haoran said, kissing his forehead—but was pushed away.

Grit Over Glow: Why Pessimism Is Your Secret Weapon

About Grit Over Glow: Why Pessimism Is Your Secret Weapon

What if everything the self-help gurus told you about positive thinking was wrong?

In a world obsessed with manifestation journals and “good vibes only” culture, this book offers sweet relief: permission to embrace your inner pessimist.

Let’s be real—sometimes life goes sideways. Plans fall apart. People disappoint you. And pretending everything’s sunshine and rainbows just makes you feel worse. What if your tendency to imagine worst-case scenarios isn’t a character flaw, but actually your brain’s built-in survival mechanism?

Drawing from psychological research on “defensive pessimism” and ancient Stoic wisdom (without the philosophical jargon), this book shows you how to:

Transform anxious overthinking into practical preparation
Use the “pre-mortem” technique to prevent disasters before they happen
Create a daily “worry window” that contains negative thoughts instead of letting them hijack your life
Lower your expectations strategically to increase actual satisfaction
Speak up about potential problems without becoming “the office downer”
Navigate relationships, career, and health decisions with realistic expectations
This isn’t about wallowing in negativity—it’s about harnessing pessimism’s practical power while avoiding the emotional spiral. You’ll discover why many high achievers succeed not despite their pessimism, but because of it.

Written for recovering optimists, natural worriers, and anyone who’s ever been told to “just think positive” when facing genuine challenges, this book offers a refreshing alternative to the toxic positivity that dominates bookstore shelves.

Lower your expectations. Raise your satisfaction. Discover the unexpected freedom that comes from preparing for the worst—and being pleasantly surprised when things work out anyway. Free for 5 days between 5 November 2025 and 9 November 2025

Thorns of Fate by Jennifer Piper

About Thorns of Fate by Jennifer Piper

In a kingdom torn apart by war, the elemental Elarans and the shadow-wielding Umbrites clash over the Heart of Eternis — a mythical artifact said to grant godlike power.
Lyra Aravel, heir to the Elaran throne, has spent her life bound by duty and steel, her heart walled against anything that could weaken her resolve. Kaelina Serys, the Umbrites’ most feared general, hides her scars behind shadows and silence, her ruthless reputation a shield for the yearning she dares not name.
When an ancient cult threatens to unmake magic itself, sworn enemies are forced into an uneasy alliance. What begins as a battle of blades and wills soon ignites into something far more dangerous: a connection neither woman expected and neither can resist. As their journey takes them through enchanted ruins and deadly trials, rivalry gives way to breathless tension, and hatred blurs into desire beneath starlit skies.
But love is a weapon as treacherous as any spell. Betrayal, sacrifice, and shattering revelations await them at the Heart’s resting place, where loyalty and longing collide — and where the fate of their world will hinge not on power, but on the bond they swore to deny.
Epic, sensual, and unforgettable, Thorns of Fate is a tale of forbidden love forged in war — and the magic that blooms when two hearts once sworn as enemies dare to beat as one.

FREE GRACE RIGHTLY UNDERSTOOD: The Doctrine of Free Grace Misunderstood and Abused— A Call to Return to Biblical Truth

About FREE GRACE RIGHTLY UNDERSTOOD: The Doctrine of Free Grace Misunderstood and Abused— A Call to Return to Biblical Truth

In an age where grace has been twisted into a thousand counterfeits—from “cheap grace” requiring no transformation to prosperity gospel promising material wealth—the Church desperately needs to recover the biblical understanding of God’s free grace.

This collection of powerful Puritan writings cuts through centuries of distortion to present grace as it truly is: absolutely free, yet absolutely transforming. Here you will discover:

• The sobering reality of human depravity that magnifies the wonder of grace
• The sovereign, electing love of God that saves unworthy sinners
• The transforming power of authentic grace that never leaves anyone unchanged
• The unshakable assurance that rests on Christ’s finished work, not human performance
• Personal testimonies of rebels transformed into worshipers by sovereign grace

The Puritans understood what many modern Christians have forgotten: grace is not merely God’s attitude toward us—it is God’s power within us. True grace doesn’t just pardon; it transforms. It doesn’t just forgive; it renews. It doesn’t just save; it sanctifies.

If you’ve been drowning in performance-based Christianity…
If you’re confused by conflicting teachings on grace…
If you’re hungry for truth that goes deeper than shallow theology…

These writings will disturb your comfort, destroy your false hopes, and establish you firmly on the only foundation that will stand forever: the free, sovereign, unchangeable grace of God in Christ Jesus.
The Puritan writings collected in this volume have been carefully selected to present a comprehensive and biblically faithful understanding of free grace. While the language has been slightly modernized in places for readability, we have maintained the theological precision and pastoral warmth that characterize Puritan literature.

These works are presented not as museum pieces to be admired from a distance, but as living words meant to search the soul, correct error, and establish believers on the firm foundation of God’s sovereign grace in Christ Jesus.

We recognize that some of the language regarding human depravity may seem harsh to modern readers. However, the Puritans understood that only when we truly grasp the depth of our sin can we begin to marvel at the height of God’s grace. Their unflinching honesty about the human condition serves to magnify the wonder of divine mercy.

It is our prayer that the Holy Spirit will use this volume to bring many to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, to strengthen believers in their assurance of salvation, and to promote biblical holiness that springs not from fear or duty, but from grateful response to sovereign grace.
May God be glorified as these ancient truths speak with fresh power to a new generation.
Soli Deo Gloria

Waiting To Break by Ruth Madison

Waiting To Break by Ruth Madison

The accident took his voice, but she heard him anyway.
Former rockstar Gabe Whitlock has been hidden away in a long-term care facility ever since an on-stage accident stole his music, his movement, and even his voice. No one’s thought about him in years.

Anna Lin is still raw from losing her mother and battling the panic attacks that derailed her college career. Living with her father again feels like a step backward—until he gets her a job as the activities coordinator at Rosehaven.

What she doesn’t expect is to find Gabe Whitlock, former frontman and guitarist of Pressure Front, quietly wasting away in a nursing home in Western Massachusetts.

Drawn together by music and art, Anna and Gabe forge an unlikely bond. But when Gabe’s sister schemes to seize control of his estate, Anna and a ragtag band of residents push back.

Their defiance threatens to cost Anna the fragile new life she’s building—and Gabe the last shreds of independence he has left.

Waiting to Break is an emotionally powerful, deeply romantic journey about finding your voice after losing everything, the dignity of choosing who you love, and the courage it takes to find your own path in life.

For fans of soulful, emotionally charged romance novels like Me Before You and authors Jodi Picoult, and Nicholas Sparks.
