A/N: THIS BOOK IS BEING RE-WRITTEN, THE ORIGINAL CHAPTERS WILL STAY POSTED BUT THE NEW VERSION DOES NOT FOLLOW THE SAME STORYLINE. In Hamelin, power sings a deadly tune, and Rowena 'Aster' Craft is caught in its melody. Born under a legacy of forbidden magic, Aster has spent her life hiding in the shadows of Hamelin, a kingdom where secrets fester and power is sung through ancient music. Controlled by her cruel stepmother, the head mage, Aster longs for freedom, unaware her caged magic is both her greatest strength and deadliest curse. When she's thrust into a secret academy where music bends reality, Aster discovers she is the key to an ancient prophecy-one tied to a lost panpipe rumored to command souls and a legacy that could bring Hamelin to its knees. The bastard prince, his smirk a veil for secrets darker than the shadows he walks, becomes an unexpected player in her fate. Drawn to each other by secrets neither can afford to share, they must navigate a world where love is as treacherous as magic. Haunted by visions of the dead and those who fear her power, Aster must unravel the truth of her lineage before the Piper's curse consumes her. In Hamelin, every sacrifice demands a song: Aster must choose if she will be its instrument or its dissonance. #1 Readers Pick of Fantasy Pitch Wars by @Fantasy 🏅 #1 in sword and sorcery 🏅 #1 in epic fantasy 🏅 #2 in magic 🏅 #2 in sacrifice

When sixteen-year-old Lucy Vesper meets Joe Parker on the rooftop of her apartment, their shared love of music sparks an unexpected and unbreakable connection. From impromptu duets under the stars to virtual collaborations across the miles, their friendship blossoms through the ups and downs of adolescence, a pandemic, and the wild ride of early adulthood. As their songs climb the charts, Lucy and Joe's deepening bond evolves into something more-until the pressures of fame and their rising musical career threaten to tear them apart. Now, at 23, their once effortless partnership is strained by creative differences, emotional exhaustion, and the weight of their public lives. When Lucy writes a private, heart-wrenching poem to Joe, it becomes the tipping point in a relationship already on the edge. As personal boundaries blur and ambition clashes with loyalty, Lucy and Joe must confront their dreams, their love, and the price of success.

Leya sought refuge from a world of shadows in a gilded cage of her own choosing. She fled the Shaman-a man who wielded pain as a key to enlightenment, who saw her fragile psyche as a map to be decoded. She ran to Dominic, a billionaire for whom ownership was a form of love, who believed he could shield her with wealth and control. But the past is not a thread you can simply cut. It's a vine that strangles what you try to protect. When the Shaman finds her, the real battle begins-not for her body, but for the very core of her being. Two titans, polar opposites in their methods, are locked in a silent war: one offers transcendence through shattering, the other-safety through possession. Caught in this crossfire, Leya makes a choice that neither man could foresee. This is a story about the price of obsession, the illusion of control, and the devastating power of a woman who learns that true freedom is not in avoiding the abyss, but in choosing how to fly into it. CONTENT WARNING / AUTHOR'S NOTE This story contains psychologically intense themes and graphic descriptions that may be disturbing. Intended for mature readers.

With the weight of several worlds on her shoulders as a prophetess in the making, Zory has no interest in being slowed down by anything or anyone. When the number of targets on her back shifts from growing by the day to rising by the hour, her people quickly prove they're ready to start pulling some of the most ridiculous stunts of all time to protect her. She isn't the only one being haunted by her past lives as a phoenix and the only man who can truly understand can't seem to get her to level with him for so much as a second. With both her life and her legacy repeatedly on the line, Zory isn't interested in playing by anyone's rules but her own. With a new war on the horizon and unprecedented powers at her disposal, Zory feels obligated to stick to her guns on being the first line of defense in Zayin. As the bodies pile up around her, will she have it in her to stop a war faster than she may end up starting one? In a battle royale of seers from higher classes of beings, it doesn't help when the supernatural, paranormal and mythical beings under her jurisdiction as a proxy know so very little about life beyond their own world. The fact that the man who claims she's the love of his every life doesn't know how to take no for an answer isn't helping anything either.

Years of silence and isolation would kill anyone-and it has. Now she must learn a life she was never taught; in a world she's never seen. Freedom is the scariest thing she's ever faced, especially with the weight of losing everything she never had. Someone will have to show her what the world is- even after losing their own.

Instead, it swallowed her whole. Ansel Laurent doesn't love―he consumes. His touch... a burn. His words... a leash. His presence... a suffocation. His love... a slow and painful death. She should have run the first time his grip tightened, the first time his whispered words curled around her throat like a promise of things to come. But she didn't. And now, he won't let her go. Zavien Amato was supposed to be her escape... his unrequited love fueling his desire to protect her, the one person who saw the girl beneath the wreckage, the one who would tear the world apart to pull her from the fire. But Ansel isn't just the fire―he is the burning. And if Solène dares to run, if she dares to reach for a life without him, he will drag her back into the dark with bloody hands and a smile. She is his. And... If he can't have her... no one can.

This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.
