QUEENS OF CHOAS SERIES PREQUEL!!! Once upon a time, a girl was sent away. No trial. No second chance. Just a story everyone believed because it was easier that way. Five years later, she comes back. This is the part where, in a Disney movie, she'd forgive everyone, hug her family, and learn the power of love. Instead, Gianna De Santis learns how to break bones, keep secrets, and survive rooms that were never meant to be safe. The family expects a villain. The kingdom expects obedience. And some Princes are not always charming . There are no fairy godmothers here. Only men with power, women with knives, and lies that refuse to stay buried. And while everyone's busy wondering if Gianna is still dangerous- They forget to ask the real question: What happens when the girl they tried to erase comes back sharper... and finally decides to stop being nice? Because this isn't a Disney movie. And the girl who survived the tower doesn't believe in happily ever after- She believes in consequences.

You are eighteen. You have friends. School. Plans for the future. And it feels like your whole life is still ahead of you. You dream of love - quiet, real. The kind that changes everything. Of the one who will someday become your other half. But sometimes life doesn't ask who you want to be. When desires suddenly turn real, when feelings break free from dreams and begin to reshape the world around you - fear follows. When fire starts to spark nearby, when dreams feel too real to ignore, and a stranger looks at you as if he knows more about you than you know about yourself - you understand: this is no coincidence. The world is preparing for a battle. Good versus evil. Light versus darkness. But what if good isn't truly good? And evil doesn't seek to destroy - but to protect? A shadow looms over your home. Or is it light? She is only a spark. But every fire begins with one. Spark. Before the Flame is a story of first love that came too early. Of choice. Of power. Of fear. And of a feeling strong enough to save the world - or burn it to the ground.

At seventeen, Chloe is finally invited into the formal gatherings that mark a young shifter's place in society. As a lower-rank wolf, she's learned it's safer to be overlooked. So when a sharp-eyed stranger starts noticing her, she tells herself it means nothing. Only a glance. Only a dance. Until it isn't. Because in a world where rank is everything, the most dangerous question isn't about tradition - it's whether she deserves more than the place she was given.

She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation. *** In a world swallowed by the Ever-Dark, Iva Vernigora is nothing more than a lowly servant in the house of the cruel Voivode Yakub Ivanov, Duke of Highroot. But when Voivode blackmails her with the lives of her parents, Iva is forced to pretend she's his daughter, as she infiltrates the royal academy of magic - Kolegium. Voivode Yakub's order is absolute: poison the Prince Konstantin Veliki. Prince Konstantin is the heir to the throne, the last of the line of Dragons - a Zmey warrior of light, who was blessed with a dragon-shifting gift. At a first glance, he is nothing but a smug, pompous royal, and everything Iva is supposed to hate. Yet every touch, and every shared lesson at Kolegium blurs the line between the enemy she must kill and the man she is beginning to crave. While Iva stalks her prey as a knife in the dark, waiting for the chance to extinguish Konstantin's light, she discovers that the dragon everyone fears is the only thing standing between humanity and the void. As the Ever-Dark Shades rise, Iva must make an impossible choice. Will she carry out her sinister orders and secure her parents' freedom, or will she stand by the Dragon in the battle for the world's last light? *** The Shades are coming. The Dragons are falling.
