The invisible dark force inside him grew stronger and more tyrannical after the horrors of that night in Colbert Hospital.

Guided by the whispers of unseen forces, Matheo travels south to the village where Marie, aka "The Widowed Witch," was born and raised, in search of answers buried in ashes and folklore. But every step brings him closer to a truth far darker than he imagined, and to a legacy that refuses to die.

A kingdom built on silence. a dangerous court where truth is a liability. She survives by watching, listening, and remembering. In a world of ceremony and secrets, seeing too much can be as deadly as seeing too little. When poison slips through stone walls and silence becomes a weapon, survival is no longer enough. She must decide what- and who- is worth trusting, before the wrong people realize she was never as fragile as she appeared. Velvet & Venom is a slow-burn political fantasy about quiet power, dangerous memory, and the cost of staying awake in a world that prefers obedience, and the moment a woman stops waiting to be heard. Some battles are fought in silence, and power rarely announces itself. This is a story for those who look closer. Quiet power has a cost.

The Kingdom of Rising Book Two of the Ruined Realms Saga Five months after the war, Ria stands among the ruins she fought to reclaim. Her kingdom is rising again - stone by stone, heart by heart - but peace is proving far more dangerous than war ever was. The prophecy that once whispered hope now dictates their path, and its fulfillment may demand more than they are willing to give. To see it through, the fractured kingdoms must unite-and an unexpected, otherworldly ally appears in their midst: Eli, an angel whose loyalty carries a cost none can measure. Yet as they race to fulfill destiny, Varian moves in secret to shatter it, his reach closer than anyone suspects. Together, Ria and her companions must hunt for a weapon powerful enough to kill an angel - a relic said to be hidden on an island that most believe a myth. But as villages burn and shadows move in the cracks between alliances, one traitor is caught... and another still hides among them. Amid the growing storm, Ria's bond with Nikolai - the Umbra Kyrios, feared king of TharVhal and the male fate bound her to - is pushed to its breaking point. Secrets fester between them, truths neither dares to speak, and the line between love and ruin blurs with every heartbeat. The Kingdom of Rising is a story of power and passion, of betrayal and unyielding love - where the light itself must bow to the shadows to survive.
