The Kingdom of Ruin Book One of the Ruined Realms Saga For over a century, Ria has lived in the Mortal Realm-hidden from the crown that once was hers, and from the male who stole it. When a deadly encounter forces her into the hands of a silent, ink-marked warrior with a power darker than legend, everything begins to shift. Now making her way across the fractured lands of Elyndor-the land of the Fae-Ria must navigate ancient kingdoms, twisted alliances, and a world that she no longer remembers-but one that may still need her. As secrets surface and enemies draw closer, she's pulled toward a fate written in blood and flame... and toward a bond she never expected. Her heart is pulled in two directions and yet there is only one path. In a realm where trust is dangerous and power is never given freely, Ria must decide what she's willing to become to reclaim what was taken. And who she's willing to make a deal with, even if it means trusting the most feared King Elyndor has ever known. *********************** "She is the key to a forgotten throne. He is the weapon no one dares name." "In a realm of fire and lies, only the shadows remember the truth." "He isn't fire. He's something worse. And he just chose her." "She's the heir to a kingdom. He's the end of one." "Power like his was meant to be buried. But fate has other plans."

"She's a spy!" "A weapon!" "Kill her before she contaminates the altar!" One moment, the sacred Xaryan mating ceremony burns in golden flames. The next-the sky splits open, and a woman crashes into the heart of the ritual. Naked. Smoking. Terrified. The alien warriors raise their spears, ready to strike. Then he speaks. Prince Veyrix Kael-cloaked in shadows, his smoke-grey skin shimmering, his voice a command that silences the crowd-declares her his. "She is mine." By Xaryan law, she is now his claimed mate. A bond forged in fire. A lie that might save her life-or doom them both. But Veyrix isn't protecting her out of mercy. He has secrets. So does she. And in a world of ancient rites, deadly politics, and a prince who burns hotter than the ceremonial flames, the truth could be the most dangerous thing of all. ........................................................... A steamy sci-fi romance where a human woman falls into the arms of an alien prince-literally. Now, bound by fate and survival, they must navigate a court of deception, desire, and deadly consequences. Will their forced bond become their salvation... or their destruction?

She ran to disappear. He found her to possess. Now, she doesn't want to be saved... She wants to be kept. Wren was broken, bleeding, and ready to vanish when he found her in the woods. Callum... the quiet stranger with shadows in his eyes and monsters in his head. He took her in, locked her away, and promised she'd never belong to anyone else again. But Callum isn't alone in his mind. And Cain doesn't ask. Cain takes. As her innocence rots beneath their touch, Wren begins to crave the unthinkable, pain, control, devotion so twisted it borders on worship. In their cabin of secrets and scars, love isn't tender. It's brutal. Consuming. Addictive. She should run. She won't. Because she's not his prisoner. She's his doll. His obsession. His perfect little ruin. _______________ Please read the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book! Your mental health matters 🖤 All photos are taken from Pinterest 🔗

Tara shifted slightly in his lap, her arms still wrapped around Lucien's broad shoulders, cheek pressed against the curve of his neck. The silence of her room was a kind of lullaby, warm and full. "You're such a dirty dog," she mumbled against his skin, voice lazy and teasing. Lucien's body rumbled with a laugh - low and pleased - before he pulled back slightly to look down at her. "You say that like it's a bad thing." She squinted at him playfully. "It is. You sneak into my room, bite me, sniff me like some possessed bloodhound..." He smirked. "Don't forget carry you around like a princess." Tara flicked his chest with her finger. "A princess who's seriously considering buying a leash. Maybe even one with spikes." Lucien's eyes sparked with mischief as he leaned in closer, their noses nearly touching. "Promise?" She rolled her eyes but couldn't stop the grin tugging at her lips. "You are incorrigible." "You're the one who keeps letting me in," he whispered, voice feather-light. "Maybe you like your bad dog after all." ____ "Say it," he commanded. She glared, blood trickling from the bite, her body shaking with defiance. "You want me to call you Alpha?" she spat. "Fine." Gothic. Haunted. Disappearing people. And a mansion that breathes. When Tara Lumin's parents buy a forgotten Gothic mansion in the eerie town of Atmani, she and her three boys-Dorian Vexley, Milo Ashbourne, and Pete Thornefield-move in expecting a fresh start. What they get is something... else. Something is wrong with Atmani. The townspeople act like they've seen ghosts. Some deny ever knowing people who vanished just weeks ago. There are names scratched out of yearbooks, family photos with missing faces, and screams in the woods no one investigates. She leaned forward, eyes blazing. "Alpha of assholes. King of mutts. God of rabid mongrels." His grin widened - like her fight only made her more perfect. "That's my girl," he purred. ---

She rules death. He is bound by angels. When their war turns to desire, heaven itself begins to fall.

Aubrey's gold skin brands her a living, breathing treasure-and she hates it. High nobles covet Golds like her as trophy wives, while monstrous wyverns hunt her kind to fuel their fiery breath. Kept locked away and ruthlessly groomed by her stepmother to be the perfect bride, Aubrey finally gets her chance at freedom when the Crown Prince announces he's seeking a wife. Only a high nobleman's power can tear her late-father's estate from her stepmother's greedy clutches, so Aubrey dons the loathsome gold-revealing gown and charges into high society-sights set on the Prince. Until rebels ambush her carriage. She expects to be kidnapped and bled for a fortune-gold blood like hers fetches a fantastic price-but the enigmatic rebel leader, Abel, has more cunning plans. Worse yet, each time Abel swaggers across her path, the tingles down her spine remind her: only he looks at her like she's a person, not a purchase. But only high nobility possess the specialized armor to protect her from wyverns. Entice the Prince to marry her... or become fuel to monsters. Then again, maybe her cruel kingdom deserves to burn-and she can spark the blaze. If Netflix's Bridgerton had dragons... GILDED SCARS AND WYVERNFIRE is the first book in an epic romantic fantasy trilogy full of betrayals, court scheming, airships, grand balls, morally grey heroes, and a slow-burn series-end HEA. Perfect for romantasy fans of Gild/The Plated Prisoner series, ACOTAR, Daughter of No Worlds, Fourth Wing, Spark of the Everflame, and When The Moon Hatched. NEW CHAPTERS DAILY UNTIL 12/12, then MWF!
