BENEATH HER HAUNTED SCARS

Dorcas_Benson
--- Beneath Her Haunted Scars By Cassy Benson From the heart of Benin City, Esohe Stephanie grew up as a bright-eyed girl with dreams bigger than her world. But one night, everything changed. A trusted neighbor stole her innocence, leaving behind scars that ran far deeper than her skin. Now in her third year at university, Esohe’s journey takes her to Lagos for her SIWES training — a fresh start, or so she hopes. There, she meets Femi, a powerful yet deeply human CEO with his own shadows. What begins as an internship slowly turns into something neither of them expected — something tender, raw, and real. But love isn’t easy for a girl who’s spent her life burying memories. And healing doesn’t come without pain. In a city full of noise, secrets, and dreams, Esohe must choose whether to remain trapped by the past or embrace the man who sees beauty beneath her haunted scars.

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
