The Silent Ward

The Silent Ward

INTRODUCTION The Silent Ward They say hospitals are places of healing. But in the dead hours of the night—when the fluorescent lights flicker and the halls echo with nothing but the wheeze of machines—they become something else entirely. Groote Schuur Hospital stood like a sentinel on the hill, its white walls soaked in a century of suffering, silence, and secrets. Patients came and went. Some were healed. Some weren’t. But a few—just a few—disappeared. Ward 17B doesn’t appear on any maps. No signs point to it. No records mention its name. The door was sealed shut in 1984, after something happened inside that no one was willing to explain. Until now. Detective Siya Ndlovu never wanted to come back. Not to this place. Not to this city. Not to the memories she buried the day her twin sister Asanda vanished from Groote Schuur without a trace. But when bodies begin piling up with no cause of death—just eyes wide open and mouths stretched in silent screams—Siya is drawn into a case that feels too close to home. As the investigation deepens, she uncovers whispers of a government project buried beneath hospital floors, of experiments that cracked the human mind and opened something that should’ve stayed shut. They called it Project Threnody.

Moonlight Run

Moonlight Run A Romantic Fated-Mates Comedy Introduction The Moon Goddess had to be joking. Alpha Celeste Rivers prided herself on being a strong, independent leader of the Silver Moon Pack. She’d spent years proving she didn’t need a mate to run her pack. Especially not some overbearing, growling brute who thought he could boss her around. She had enough on her plate dealing with her elders, the constant rogue attacks, and a bet that she could outdrink any Alpha at the next summit. So when fate decided to drop Alpha Hunter Blackwood into her life, of all wolves, Celeste was ready to reject the bond on sight. The arrogant, too-handsome-for-his-own-good Alpha of the Shadow Fang Pack was her biggest rival, and she’d rather chew her own tail than admit he was her fated mate. But the Moon Goddess wasn’t one to be ignored. Now, thanks to a rogue threat that neither of them could fight alone, Celeste and Hunter are forced to work together. Their packs are already planning their wedding, and their wolves won’t stop howling at each other. On top of that, their “definitely-not-dating” partnership keeps leading to ridiculous situations, like waking up in the same bed after a drunken dare or getting stuck in a cave overnight with only one blanket. The more they fight fate, the stronger the pull becomes. And with every battle, every prank, and every almost-kiss, Celeste and Hunter start to wonder if the Moon Goddess knew exactly what she was doing. Let the Moonlight Run begin.

Prescription For Love

They say you don't truly know someone until they leave you. Until the world goes dark, and you're left standing alone, reaching for hands that aren't there anymore. For Elena Hart, it happened all at once. One morning, the world was vibrant, filled with the gold of sunrise and the blue of endless skies. The next, it was shadows. Then... nothing. The doctors called it a rare, aggressive condition. They spoke in hushed tones, offered hollow promises. Her boyfriend, the man who had sworn he loved her, whispered different words: I'm sorry. I can't do this. He left before the first surgery. Before she learned how to pour coffee without spilling. Before she understood the terror of living a life unseen. Months later, Elena Hart sits in the sterile waiting room of the Cole Medical Institute, her white cane resting against her knee, her fingers tracing nervous circles against her jeans. She's here because there’s one last chance. One last doctor who might be able to help. She doesn’t know that behind the door, standing over her file, is the man who will change everything. A man whose name should be familiar. A man who should be forbidden. Dr. Adrian Cole, billionaire, surgeon, and the one person more dangerous to her broken heart than the man who shattered it.

The Last Circle

Beneath the City, Hell Is Awake. When Ronan Reyes receives a video message from Mira, the woman he lost two years ago, his world collapses into a nightmare. Her terrified warning, sent from a long-abandoned subway station, sets him on a one-way descent into a subterranean hell that pulses beneath the city like a rotting heartbeat. Armed with a gun, a burning need for truth, and the ghosts of his own past, Ronan steps beyond the rusted gates of Delacroix Terminal, and into the modern Inferno. Each circle is a waking nightmare: a biomechanical slaughterhouse, a city of mirrors, a cathedral of corrupted salvation. Sins aren't just punished here—they're lived, relived, consumed. Reality warps. Memories lie. And something ancient waits in the dark, hungry for more than just souls. As Ronan ventures deeper, pursued by monsters both human and inhuman, he must face the worst of humanity—and the worst in himself. The only way out is down. The Last Circle is a relentless descent into madness, horror, and revelation. A modern retelling of Ronan Alighieri’s classic, this brutal journey through thirteen hellish circles blends psychological terror, gore-soaked action, and a desperate, bloodstained search for redemption. Welcome to the underground. You won’t come back the same.

UNRAVELLED THREADS

There are threads that unite us. Others subtly disintegrate us. Siphiwe Florence Nzimande stitched love into the fabric of her home throughout her existence. A loyal wife. A gentle, accessible mother. A mother who traded boardroom sessions for goodnight kisses and lullabies for books of accounts. But under the golden sheen of the family's merriment lies the dull pang. A pang that was born from lost moments, sacrifices, and a marriage that is no longer home. She had her baby at fifteen. Too young to have even remembered her own childhood, but fiercely intent on making her children's something lovely. Through pain and optimism, she sewed together a life of purpose, pouring herself into her four lovely children: Minenhle, Lwazi, Thandiwe, and Sipho. All of them masterpieces. All of them reasons to cling. But the silken thread that links her to Sean, the love of her youth and the father of her children, is unraveling. And when the tapestry of all she has stitched so carefully begins to fray at the edges, Siphiwe has a choice to make. Will she continue to patch up the past, or will she find the strength to unravel the whole and begin again? Soul-deep, vulnerable, and hopelessly honest, Unravelled Threads is a book about motherhood, memory, and the quiet resilience it requires to find yourself again in the life you have constructed for all but yourself. It is a book about the love that rescues us and the love we have to learn to rescue for ourselves.

Action! Adventure! Space Opera! Life hardly ever turns out the way people expect it to, and for Mykl d’Angelo, skipper and owner of the loderunner Pegasus, it had just taken a bad turn for terrible. Due to a minor misunderstanding, his crew had stolen the 'Short Shit'- the ship’s only shuttle, leaving him and two others behind to crew the ailing ship on their own. As if that weren’t bad enough, just a few hours later the rickety old ship’s stardrive spectacularly failed in the *middle* of the middle of nowhere, killing Mykl’s two remaining crewmen. Marooned alone in deep space, Mykl d’Angelo counted his blessings, offered prayers to any gods who specialized in miracles, and prepared to await (A) seemingly unlikely rescue, or (B) a lingering death. Rescue came at last, but at a questionable price – as the I.S.S. 'Antares', a passing cruiser dispatched to investigate why a remote starbase near the frontier had fallen silent, was also home to an old flame of Mykl's - Commander Ripley Jones. She was the one that got away - and the Exo of the starship. There was no love lost between them at all. Or was there? In the midst of the awkwardness and discomfort, the 'Antares' discovers the truth of what happened to Starbase 91 - and crosses paths with a legendary and fearsome Corsair – a man whose name sent shivers down the spines of lesser mortals. Blachart… Blachart the Bloody.

THE PROFESSOR

THE PROFESSOR

The game/ scheme is called The Professor’s prey and the rules are simple. At the beginning of each university/ college year, the participants would each pick one student as their prey. The participants must be with the same prey for one semester, unless he clears all stages of the game early. The stages of the game are places scattered throughout university and college campuses. There are eight in total: any lecture room, office,  the gym, the auditorium, the parking lot, the clinic, the library and the participant’s house. The objective is to have sex with the prey in at least six areas. In order to prove that a level has been cleared, a fibre optic lens camera is connected in a special spot located in each stage. Whoever clears the six stages first receives a thousand dollars (R18 639.04 South African rand) from every losing participant. Rumour has it that this is practised in various universities and colleges across the world. The game has been in practice for the last 4 years with one Professor Muller being the brainchild and winner of the first and second year. The third and fourth year was won by Professor Kenneth McGonigle from the Mathematics and Science department. Players register themselves once a year at the beginning of each term. They must sign up for an account on the game’s website, where they will each deposit a thousand dollars to a bank account. Players progress is monitored via email with a password protected encryption to watch captured videos online. All videos have a 24- hour shelf-life before being permanently deleted from the website. The nice thing about this website is that you cannot save, download or screen record any of the content uploaded on the site for the safety and privacy of the preys. If a player decides to withdraw from the game, he is penalised another thousand dollars for the remaining participants to share. The rest of the earnings are received by the winner at the end of the game, and the site goes offline until the following year.
