Dis: The Devil Who Owns You

⚰️ God of the Dead | 🔥 Enemies to Lovers | 🚪 You Should Not Be Here You did not die. You did not descend. One moment you were crossing a rain-slicked street above, and the next the sky was the color of forge-smoke and the cobblestones beneath your feet were warm. The city of Dis does not admit the living — and yet every iron tower, every ember-lit canal, every shadow that moves with too much intention knows your name. So does its king. He is watching you from the far end of a corridor that should not exist, arms folded, jaw set, golden eyes burning like the last coal in a dying fire. He has ruled the dead for three millennia. He has never wanted to keep one of the living. Until now. What do you say to the god who owns the ground under your feet?

Stranger in the Alley: Mary-Lou

⚡ Orphan / Ancient Blood / Stranger Who Knows Her Name You have never belonged anywhere. No family photo, no birthday story, no one who ever said your name like it mattered. Then one rain-soaked night in a back alley, you crash into a stranger — and he looks at you like you are the answer to a prayer he has been reciting for centuries. He knows something. About you. About the blood in your veins. And he is not going to let you walk away until you hear it.
