The Manuscript of Ashes
They burn books. She prints them anyway.
In Troyes, during the French Wars of Religion, words can get you imprisoned… or killed.
Lucie knows it. She’s just an apprentice printer. Invisible. Replaceable. Safe—if she keeps her head down.
Then she finds the manuscript. Forbidden. Dangerous. Powerful enough to ignite more than ink and paper.
Now she has a choice: destroy it… or give it a voice.
Printing it would be a crime. Silence would be a betrayal.
Some truths are meant to be buried. Others refuse to burn.
Available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.
The Manuscript of Ashes is a dark, gripping historical novella about censorship, courage, and the price of truth in a world ruled by fear. Because in times of repression, words don’t just matter, they threaten.
This is a story for readers who want more than a historical setting.
For those who want tension, risk, and choices that leave no safe way out.
If you’re drawn to stories where ideas are dangerous, where books are hunted, and where one decision can change everything… you’re exactly where you need to be.
zero cruelty
What if cruelty didn’t disappear… but got optimized?
At MeatFuture, everything is under control.
Every process is optimized. Every outcome is measured. Every ethical concern has been resolved.
No suffering. No guilt. No compromise. That’s the promise.
In this chilling corporate dystopia, transparency is no longer a virtue. It’s a strategy. A tool. A weapon.
And the truth? It’s far more disturbing than the illusion.
