"Only in the darkness can you see stars." - It has been six years since Ben Solo succumbed to his fate and betrayed the Jedi Order after being seduced by the Dark Side. With the aid of his immense power, the First Order has cast a shadow over the galaxy reminiscent of the Empire. Former padawan Lyra Escara has been put into hiding and forced to change her identity, the once-honorable title of Jedi now one that promised a deadly target on her back. As a handmaiden to the queen reigning over Naboo, she leads the quiet life of a protector while she anxiously awaits a call from the Resistance, a beckoning to make her valiant return to the fight where she could finally avenge her slaughtered friends and family, and give the galaxy hope. But when a trade deal goes astray and the First Order abducts the queen and a handful of her maidens to use as a bartering chip to force their terms, Lyra finds herself a prisoner on their lead ship. Knowing she must hide her force sensitivity to protect her life as well as her queen's, the last thing she expects is to be reunited with an old friend... one she thought had died six years ago, taking her heart with him. Sensing conflict in him, Lyra's hope flares upon learning that the feared Kylo Ren isn't too far gone just yet. Facing unsettled conflict, old wounds and the constant war of good and evil raging around them, could Lyra's boundless love and determination be the spark that will save Ben Solo from himself, or will she destroy herself trying to be the hero when it matters most? - Book Two (THIS IS THE SEQUEL TO COVET, IF YOU HAVEN'T YET YOU MUST READ BEFORE YOU CAN READ THIS STORY)

"The marks people leave are too often scars." - Lyra Escara had fulfilled her father's dream of becoming a Padawan learner at a very young age; as a small child hearing his tales of the Rebellion, she'd longed to learn to ways of the Jedi Code, and hoped to bring peace to the galaxy as a Jedi Knight. It was at the Jedi Temple, as a youngling, that she met Ben. What started as a friendship and the tiniest distraction from her studies evolved into something more; something she'd throw away her dreams, memories, and hardships for. Little did she know, Ben was in pain; he was close to becoming something that she despised, something that brought a bad taste into any Jedi's mouth. And, in the center of it all, inflicting Ben's pain, was none other than Lyra herself. After all, Ben was her world; and she, his stars. - Book One

When Kol woke up after being daggered a century, he couldn't wait to leave Mystic Falls and his siblings behind. What Kol hadn't expected was to find an annoying young woman living in his older brother's house; even less did he expect said woman to possess a magic so fascinating that he simply couldn't leave until he'd found out what hid behind those innocent blue eyes.

Adeline Andrew's was living a normal life in Mystic Falls, until the most feared vampire in the world showed up. Klaus Mikaelson thought there was only one thing he wanted in that sleepy town, but then he laid eyes on Adeline. | Klaus Mikaelson Love Story | |TVD AND THE ORIGINALS| *Mature Themes* #1 in the vampire diaries 05/2021 #1 in Klaus - 03/2021 #2 in TVD - 03/2021 #1 in Damon - 04/2021 #3 in Vampire - 03/2021 #5 in Klaus Love Story - 03/2021 #1 in Stefan Salvatore - 04/2021
