!!THIS BOOK HAS BEEN FINISHED, BUT IT'S CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN. UNEDITED CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN UNPUBLISHED!! REWRITE STATUS: 10/63 In the cursed city of Xalathor, two monster hunters just want to survive their job. And each other. William talks too much, jokes too often, and never takes anything seriously. Drystan barely talks at all. Their uneasy partnership survives because neither of them asks for more than the job requires - and feelings were never part of the deal. Then a messy and loud teenage girl barges in. Dahlia's not just here to end a curse; she wants something more. A family. A place to belong. And she's not leaving without it - even if the monster hunters she's set her sights on are experts at pushing people away. Between the emotional wildfire named Dahlia and their own unresolved tension, William and Drystan are in deeper than they ever planned. Thrown together by bad luck and worse timing, they stumble into something messier and way more terrifying than monsters - feelings. Dahlia won't let them run from it. In a city full of ghosts, the three of them are building something new. If they don't ruin it first. Materials used for the cover: https://www.vecteezy.com/free-png/dahlia-flower

She is aware of the things that the servants and handmaidens say about her. She also doesn't care. She just wants to leave. It all changes, however, when she gets exactly what she wished for, but at a price. Years of turning away suitors led her parents to take her life in their own hands, and they shipped her off to the other side of the world to carry out an arranged marriage with the handsome Prince Caspian, heir to the Shah of the Sand Nomads. Io knew that as far as future husbands went, she lucked out. Caspian was kind and considerate-however, the only issue was that on the day of their wedding, his older sister, Callisto, would be sacrificed in honor of their marriage. Io didn't like murder to begin with, but as she befriended Callisto, she realized that she didn't want to say goodbye just yet. They all go on a trip together to celebrate their last bit freedom, but somewhere along the way, their wanderlust takes control and they run away to explore the world on their own terms. But when no one is there to keep them from discovering certain places, they learn many things about both them and their pasts: they aren't who they think they are. The more secrets that come out, the less they want to return. But knowledge is dangerous, and once it's discovered, there is no going back. •─────⋅☾⊱♰⊰☽⋅─────• Huge thanks to @TaeTaeGinger for cover design!

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.

In a world haunted by monstrous shadows, Lucieria battles to become a Crimsonsworn-a hunter forged in blood and bound by addiction to an ancient, cursed power. Fueled by loss and tethered to Gilgamesh, the Vyrneth spirit within her, she faces brutal trials that threaten to unravel her soul. As love and loyalty clash with the Covenant's ruthless demands, Luci must confront a darkness that could consume her or redefine her strength. Will she rise as a weapon against the Veil or become its next sacrifice?

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.

Flowing silk dresses. Structured suits. Empty, forced vows. Soft, sweet nothings. Whispered caresses. Bittersweet kisses. Blue, blue eyes. This is not a love story. This is ruination. 🥀 Rosaline Beaumont. A name that once graced every tabloid, a face that used to be plastered all over social media. A girl that had all but disappeared. But now, four years after everything had turned to ashes in her grasp, she was back under the ever greedy gaze of the cameras, the watchful eyes of high society thirsting to watch their darling unravel. Standing at a wedding altar not of her choice, Rose was on the precipice of vowing to spend the rest of her life with a man she hardly knew. A deadly gamble. A hopeful new start. But could something new truly blossom, when the clutches of the past were dug so deep? Could she ever truly move on, when she couldn't close her eyes without dreaming of him? And could a marriage really last, when her heart would forever beat for another? 🥀 Completed on July 5, 2025.
