Beneath the city, hidden behind steel doors and whispered passwords, there is a place called The Maze. It isn't a club. It isn't a game. It's a hunt. Every night, the crowd gathers underground to watch as Targets step willingly into the labyrinth, chasing a crown hidden in the dark. But they're never alone. Waiting inside are the Arrows. The masked hunters, each with a name designed to terrify, each with their own way of breaking prey. Some Targets enter for glory. Some for escape. Some just for the thrill. But once the gates close, the only thing that matters is survival. And survival depends on one thing: Whether your Arrow wants you dead... or wants to keep you. ----- Each book in The Maze follows a different Arrow and the Target who dares to face them. Obsession, possession, betrayal, surrender... every story is a new game, every romance a dangerous edge you can't step back from. Welcome to The Maze. Enter if you dare.

WITW contest prompt: "Bestfriends forced to get married" ----- An elf and a warlock. Five years of friendship. One marriage they never saw coming. The Kingdom of Eyrndrale and the Coven of Morvaen have stood on opposite sides of a centuries-long war-until the High Council forges an unthinkable peace. To unite the Realm and protect the humans caught between them, the council demands a binding marriage between two of its most influential heirs. Valaryth, crown prince of Eyrndrale, and Garrick, heir to the Morvaen coven, have always defied the bitterness between their peoples. Friends despite the centuries of distrust, they've shared secrets, danger, and the occasional argument about which one of them is more infuriating. Now, with the weight of an entire Realm on their shoulders, they must pretend their bond is more than platonic... while navigating court politics, dangerous factions, and the suspicion of both the Councils. The peace treaty might keep the armies at bay. But their new vows could ignite something neither of them is ready to face.

A dark, brutal, and intimate story where two men whose obsessions, trauma, and twisted moral codes pull them together in a dangerous romance. --- This is a dark romance. Please mind your triggers while reading!

When he was eighteen, Cordae watched witches and vampires slaughter his family and the entire pack. The only person who survived the slaughter was his friend, Ardell, who became his Beta. With only him by his side, Cordae rebuilt from the ashes. He swore he would never Hope again, rebuilding his people with blood and iron over the next seventeen years. Duty has kept him alive.

For his Beta, forgiveness and trust comes easy when he looks into the eyes of his mate. To Ardell, the vampire means love, hope, and healing. To Cordae, it means jealousy, distrust, anger, betrayal...and danger. Then a prophecy whispers that Cordae's own mate will come "through fire and ruin." And when he finally finds him, broken and bleeding on his borders, he realizes fate has not given him a wolf, nor vampire, nor witch... but something far more dangerous. Something all of the factions fear. Something the High Council will demand he destroy. Only they don't have to... because everyone else wants to kill him too.
