Book 1 of The Vașcău Chronicles Drama: Set in a small Romanian village in the late 1800's, four lives are intertwined. This is the first part of a quadrilogy. Cerubian is the son of a blacksmith longing for an adventurous life. Lebeda is the youngest of 3 sisters wishing her dreams to take flight. Sarpen is the son of a regional nobleman, petty and entitled. Lastly Lupin, a ward at the local monastery, wild by nature, a carefree, rambunctious spirit.

They call it El Cielo Alto, the high heaven of Manhattan. A world built on luxury the powerful can afford. Vivian Valentine has everything a woman is supposed to want. Beauty that turns heads, a name that opens doors. Marco Valentine, a man who rules the city's elite like a king behind closed doors. To the world, she is his flawless queen: the picture of grace, devotion, and perfection. But beneath the marble floors and diamond chandeliers lies rot. This was not built on love, but on secrets, old, dangerous, and buried deep beneath their marriage vows. They say every sinner has a story. Hers begins the night she stops pretending. Because this isn't salvation, it's damnation dressed in silk. Desire can destroy faster than betrayal, the closer comes to a truth no one dares speak: not all sins are hidden. Some sleep beside you every night. And some the kind you feel in your chest, the kind that make you human are the ones that can't be forgiven. As Vivian's perfect world begins to crumble, she will uncover the truth about her husband and herself. And when the masks come off, she'll find herself standing in the ruins of the life she once worshipped.

When Emma Lucas meets devilishly handsome Markus Winterly, she has no idea that he only wears the mask of human aristocracy. And behind that mask a very ancient and powerful being has begun to take an interest in her; has noticed what even she does not suspect about herself. When her sister's life is threatened, Emma has only one choice: sacrifice herself instead and give in to the deepest and darkest desires that have begun to quicken in her heart. Amidst the sumptuous backdrop of midnight vampire balls, dark moors, and an ancient castle, Emma will discover the strength and light she never knew she possessed and uncover the many layers of the man-the very creature-she has come to love. A love that defies death and time, taming even the devil himself. And to survive, Emma must surender everything. Even her humanity.

History is no fairytale, and Eternal Blood never pretends it to be. This unflinching epic plunges readers into the brutal heart of the ancient world, where survival is uncertain and morality bends to the will of victors. This is not a tale of noble heroes or wicked villains. Eternal Blood walks through the chaos of battle, the sorrow of the defeated, and the unyielding grip of slavery. Every triumph demands a sacrifice. Every laurel is bought with pain. There are no saints here, only men who bleed for what they believe is right. From the discipline of Rome's legions to the final cries of their enemies, Eternal Blood reveals the raw truth of ambition and betrayal, brotherhood and ruin. Every choice risks everything. Every victory leaves a scar. This is the ancient world stripped of illusion, where blood speaks louder than words and justice belongs to those who seize it. Will you enter this relentless vision of the past?

In a world hidden from ordinary humans' eyes, a rift exists where supernatural beings, creatures of nightmares, reside. This realm remains shielded from prying eyes, accessible only to those captured and forced into servant training. Once inside, individuals are reprogrammed for absolute obedience and trained to fulfill their Master's every whim until they are deemed expendable. Escape is impossible. Madelyn Vagen lived her life blissfully unaware of this hidden world. Orphaned at three and with no memories of her early years, she was adopted by a loving family who nurtured her with the belief that she could achieve anything. After a failed date, Madelyn's everyday life shatters, and she becomes a victim of this dark trade. Captured and stripped of her identity, she is prepared to be sold to the highest bidder. Her fate seems sealed until the royal family abruptly interrupts her auction. As she is thrust into a world of secrets, Madelyn uncovers truths she never imagined. She learns about her mother's past, follows in her footsteps, and is pulled into a life where she must navigate the treacherous waters of royal blood. Madelyn finds herself fighting for her own survival and those who cannot protect themselves. All because she was born with a gene that caused her to do the one thing her former handlers never expected.
