Rurouni kenshin is a manga about a samurai who used to he an assassin in a civil war and after that he decide to compensate his crimes by renouncing to kill people and helping them. There’s a character who especially reminds me to Kylo; Aoshi. He was a former evil guy that came to the good side but never became good. He attacked his adoptive father and stabbed him 42 times, before turning good. He stay with the good people for a girl who loves him, Misao. All the manga is about redemption.

ALPHA GODDESS by Amalie Howard

In Serjana Caelum’s world, gods exist. So do goddesses. Sera knows this because she is one of them. A secret long concealed by her parents, Sera is Lakshmi reborn, the human avatar of an immortal Indian goddess rumored to control all the planes of existence. Marked by the sigils of both heaven and hell, Sera’s avatar is meant to bring balance to the mortal world, but all she creates is chaos. A chaos that Azrath, the Asura Lord of Death, hopes to use to unleash hell on earth.

Torn between reconciling her past and present, Sera must figure out how to stop Azrath before the Mortal Realm is destroyed. But trust doesn’t come easy in a world fissured by lies and betrayal. Her best friend Kyle is hiding his own dark secrets, and her mysterious new neighbor, Devendra, seems to know a lot more than he’s telling. Struggling between her opposing halves and her attraction to the boys tied to each of them, Sera must become the goddess she was meant to be, or risk failing, which means sacrificing the world she was born to protect.

Reylo vibe recommendation by @agir1ukn0w who also submitted these quotes from the book:

1. “She was nothing but flame in the deep of hell’s embrace.
‘Welcome Serjana,’ whispered a throaty voice. ‘I have been waiting for
you.’ Sera lurched upright in bed, gasping, images from her nightmare
still flashing like lightbulbs in her brain…a boy swathed in shadows
beckoning, calling to her. A flicker of a kiss that tasted like blood.”

  • pg. 1

2. “On cue, a fleeting memory of the kiss in her dream winked
into her brain. A shudder rolled through her. It’d been some kind of
faceless monster, half-boy, half-something else. Had the blood been
hers? His?…the monster’s faceless shape still loomed on the edge of her
thoughts like a dark stain; mocking her, taunting her with the fact that
she’d like it, that she’d enjoyed its kiss, that she’d begged for
more.”

3. “Gifted with an unusual birthright, Kyle could read the auras of
all manner of beings — mortal, immortal, celestial, bestial. Even if the
beings were shaded or

What mortal could rescue Tam Lin from that shadow life but Janet who loved him?  She told him she would save him  isf she could, and Tam Li described how the mortal must  challenge the power of the Fairy Queen. Then he faded into the sun-speckled forest.

From Time-Life Books’s Fairies and Elves, part of The Enchanted World Series, 1984. Illustration by Jill Karla Schwarz

Confession: This is the first place I encountered the story of Tam Lin, and where I fell in love with it. I will freely admit it was largely because of the beautiful illustrations, particularly the last one.

The bare-chested, disheveled Tam Lin resting under Janet’s mantle just caught my attention. I was ten, maybe eleven years old at the time. Thirty years later, seventeen years of running a website, forty four versions of the ballad, more than a dozen related stories, a couple of citations in articles and theses, pages of analysis, maps, well over a hundred books, plays, articles… and here’s the images that kicked that off for me. Enjoy.
