Immortality isn't a dream anymore, it's a promise. Youth potions for those who have the gold to spare, free and automatic resurrection even for those who don't... this city has it all and more. For everyone except me. I'm too broken, too weakened by an injury that's slowly ripping my soul apart. Once it finishes, there will be nothing there to resurrect anymore. I'll be gone for good. No afterlife for me. I'd say I've made my peace with it, except my fiancé, Tenir Lynbold, is threatening to destroy my family when I die. Forcing me to be with him isn't enough; he's got to push me into despair before I go, too. My only spark of hope comes from my ex-husband, Coruscar Larithian. Ironic, yeah? But he's a brilliant mage, a cunning opponent... and the person I love most in the world. There's a chance he can cure me. There's a chance he can free me. But my fiancé won't go down without a fight. Is it too late to find something worth living for? Content warning for violence (including domestic violence) and strong language.

A fake engagement. A real disaster. One month in a campervan called The Tipsy Cone. Add two total opposites and a high-stakes baking competition in the Cotswolds. It's a recipe for disaster.

Just as things are getting cozy, trouble enters in the form of a tiny red dragon.

There are strange creatures in the water - and TEMPEST RAERIR is tasked with keeping them there. The gods have long since abandoned the Queendom of Khaedel, letting monsters of the deep plague the land with sickness and death. She defends the shores and kills anything that dares to step onto the sand. When one of the queens of Khaedel - Tempest's mentor - falls ill, her duty switches to saving who she cares about most. And she just might be the key to saving everyone. The deeper you go into the Arnstar Ocean, the more powerful the creatures become, and THE WARDEN'S duty is to keep them all in line. For centuries, the magic keeping the most depraved monsters at bay has been waning. Now that cracks have cut through the surface, the Warden faces no choice but to obtain the help of the beings that despise them the most. Tempest and the Warden must band together and venture as far down into the Arnstar Ocean as they can to seal the fissures. Only, getting there might not be as easy as they thought. Can they survive the battles with the leviathans that lurk in the darkness? Or will they prove the gods right that the land is hopeless? ONGOING 2026 © -DeeIsDead-

A king A prince A lesson neither of them will forget ✦•···················•✦•···················•✦ King Cassian rules Montverne with quiet grace and unshakable control. He speaks softly, moves precisely - a presence shaped and scarred by a tragedy. When Nikandros, crown prince of Dioneth, is sent to observe him and learn by example, it seems like nothing more than a political courtesy. But Nikandros is defiant by nature - reckless, sharp-tongued, and far too charming for his own good. He tests the rules, the patience of the court, and the composure of the king. But when Nikandros glimpses Cassian in a moment of raw vulnerability, something shifts. The distant figure the Prince imagined becomes achingly real - and far harder to resist. Between lessons, intrigue, and unspoken desire, both will come to realise that true learning goes far beyond what can be taught within the castle walls. After all, some lessons are learned through experience - and others through the heart.
