So she could live her second life, the way she wanted. In peace. One Year, they promised each other. To live a life as husband and wife. One Year, to convince everyone that they were a loving couple. One Year, to gather information on his enemies. One Year, to gather as much support and power from the royal court to his side. One Year, of playing pretend and fooling the whole Kingdom of their fake love story. Little did she know, it only took One Year for him to fall in love with her. Will he keep to his word of One Year? Or go back on it and break their promise?

Ever since, she's been too haunted to touch the ocean again. She's not only plagued by her past, but a reoccurring dream, which was once peaceful and is now turning... strange. She doesn't know it yet, but she's connected to a darkness that could kill her, and that darkness is her mate; an Erebos. They are the kind of Mermaid that feasts on the blood of their own kind - and they are infamous for being the most dangerous threat to the island where she lives.

Don't get frostbitten while reading this dark, gripping, passionate retelling of Snow White. Icelyn, the princess of the Winter Realm, is being used as a tether to unite the Winter and Summer Realms in an upcoming war. As a woman, she is seen as nothing more than chattel instead of the strong warrior she truly is. She longs to prove her worth to her father and people, but how do you accomplish that if never given a chance? When Icelyn's powers continue to strengthen, her evil stepmother decides that marrying her off may not be enough to rid the thorn in her side and takes a more drastic approach. For Icelyn, there is danger around every corner; even the mirrors have ears. To complicate matters, Icelyn learns that she is the fated mate of the King of the Night Realm, a wicked and unseelie fae that will do anything to claim what is rightfully his... When he comes to collect her, her entire world is turned upside down. Her fate was questionable in the Winter Realm, but how will she ever survive in a court of nightmares and ruin? *** She was mine, and it was about time they learned that. I have sat by idly for years, knowing she belonged to me, and yet, I did nothing about it. I did not want a mate, they were a weakness I could not afford, but now they were trying to join her with another, and there was no way I would allow that. "Ready or not, my little snowflake, here I come."

--- "Leo... you drove past my house," I said, confusion clouding my expression as I looked at him. "L-Leo?" I repeated, tugging gently at the hem of his shirt, a knot of unease forming in my chest. He didn't answer-just kept his eyes on the road, jaw tight with focus. "Don't worry, Lydia," he finally said, a slow, possessive smirk creeping onto his face. "You're mine now. You'll be living with me... where you belong." --- Lydia an innocent girl with the most sweetest heart, she's so pure, she's 17 and never went to a public school, she's actually home schooled because her mom wants to keep her from the cruel world. Her mother did something that would be trouble for Lydia's future, her father died when she was 5 and her mother wanted the best for her. But when she meets Leonardo her world changes drastically.

"If they aren't pretty when they are dead, then why bother keeping the bodies in my cemetery? Just burn them. Burn all of them, and give me the charming ones." I laughed at how psychotic he sounded; or even how psychotic he was."You're young, why do you even own your own cemetery? That can't even be legal." "Why bother concerning yourself over my affairs? This cemetery-" he quickly corrected himself, "My cemetery is the most luxurious and ravishing of them all." He bent down, and began to whisper in my ear, "And I know, that you, my lamb, understand my funeral style, don't you?"

"The reason we can't let go of someone is because deep inside, we still have hope." Then, let go. That so-called hope, it's destroying you. "It was us against the world, what happened?" She didn't appreciate the world you were offering her. "We were once so damn happy." Stop looking for happiness in the same place you lost it. It was once there, but not anymore. - - - His heart belongs to someone else. Her heart belongs to him. She wants to be his moonlight in the dark.

Hi ! I am a big fan of novels and I have honestly read hundreds in my life, which makes me hard now. Here you can find my favorite Chinese historical novels, and ONLY my favorites. If I found them just passable, I will not share it with you. In short, if you love a strong heroine, who knows what she wants, who does not necessarily need a man to live, with romance and action? Here is your paradise ^^ (PS: I'll rarely give my opinion (because, all of them are TIPTOP for me) Enjoy, it's free !

"Please, please let me go. I beg of you!" I pleaded with the unknown voice. "Now you know I can't do that." The voice said, it's robotic sound angered me. "W-why?" Tears wouldn't stop sliding down my face. "Because you're the key to my happiness." [There are a lot of chapters, but they're all short.]

This book contains sexual assault, suicidal behaviour, drugs, alcohol and self harm. If any of these things trigger you, I advise you not to read this book. ~ "Who do you think you are?" I snap. "A very hot guy that I know you can't resist," he winks at me. Dick. "Well you got that wrong as usual," I roll my eyes at him and turn around, to walk home. "Please don't go," I hear a sad whisper behind me. Is he for real? "Stop playing these games with me. I'm not just one of your other whores that you can just have sex with whenever you feel like it. I know how you are. I know what you are," I snap at him, disgust clear in my voice. I wait for a response but I don't get one so I just turn around and leave. ~ #1 in heartbreak 10th December 2k19 #1 in college 27th March 2k19 #1 in toxic 20th July 2k19 #6 in romance 4th March 2k21
