The story of a forgotten kingdom.

"What do I hunger for..." The existence of Shades are as old as history. Soul-eating entities with skin as black as ink and a presence as cold as ice. They don't have an end goal, their only purpose: To steal, kill, destroy and most of all, to Consume. One of these Shades meets Dawn, a shy, noble girl that's still coping the loss of her father, who died three years prior. In a last second decision, the Shade possesses her umbrella. All the while, making a vow, to not just watch over her as she enters a new school, but also to protect her from the rest of his species.

She is fire, stoked by grief, forged in rage, burning for revenge. He is the sea, unpredictable, merciless, waiting to consume her whole. Helena Carys was meant to marry Prince Johan, noble, honorable, the realm's golden heir. But disgrace has stained her bloodline, for she is the first in generations unable to unlock her magic. Without a dowry to bargain, a father to intervene and her name ruined, she is given to the King's bastard instead. Kieran Inero, the half-blood Fae who spends his days in fighting pits, evenings in gambling dens, and nights in brothels. Too human to wield power. Too Otherborn to be ignored. Her ancestors, if any lived, would drown themselves before seeing the last of their house bound to a half-blood. But at least she isn't marrying a fool... For it takes a clever man to murder the High Warlock and walk away with his daughter as the prize. As Helena is dragged into a court of illusions, where lies wear crowns and magic hides daggers, she realizes her fate has always been written by others. Until now. Because fire does not kneel. And the sea cannot drown a woman who has already decided to burn.

Reyna Valerius has spent her entire life running. From the prophecy that chains her fate. From the shadow of her tyrant father. And from the unstable magic that burns beneath her skin. ... As the fugitive daughter of the Shadow King, Reyna is hunted across both Realms for a crime that she didn't commit - the murder of the Light King, the man that she had secretly loved. Her father's mercenaries hunt her at every corner aiming to drag her back to her father in chains for a few gold coins. And now with the ring that keeps her volatile power in check failing, she must find someone from her past to help before it is too late and her magic consumes her completely. . Kael Draven has lived as a mercenary mage, selling his spells in order to afford to survive. When he is approached by the Shadow King himself to track down his supposedly mad daughter for his unique ability in being able to suppress the abilities of Shadowbeings, Kael expects to find a monster. Instead he discovers a woman who is desperately fighting to save the Realms from her father's dark ambitions. As the truth unravels and the lies shatter, Kael must choose between his orders and his conscience. To capture the princess and bring her in for the gold that could possibly change his future. Or to protect the woman who might save them all.

"Have you no sense of self-preservation?" he asked, seeming genuinely curious. "I do. But it's kind of low on my list of priorities. Right below not sucking up to immortals, no matter if they were elders." And I really needed to shut up before I got myself killed. *** **** *** Elle Sanders is a headhunter with a secret. In a mission to hunt down a thief, Elle's life takes an unexpected turn when she's thrown into the very world she spent her entire life avoiding. Faced with a series of life-changing decisions, an irritating vampire lord who's dangerously curious about her, and a crime she holds the key to solving, Elle has to choose between revealing her secrets or staying silent at the expense of innocent human lives.

Hester wasn't the typical heroine, ready to save the world for glory or destiny. She was just... Hester. Stubborn, sarcastic, a little desperate, with a world-Gavik-that was rotting under a fucking magical disease that showed no mercy. The solution? Thera. A place where magic and technology constantly collided, and where time travelers risked getting arrested if they caused trouble. Not exactly a place to feel at home. And then there was Athor, the only ally she had: arrogant, incredibly charming, morally gray... capable of saving her life as easily as letting her rot without a second thought. She walked beside him through portals that seemed ready to swallow them whole, deadly creatures, and dimensions that screamed, "You don't belong here." She tried to breathe, tried not to think too much about what could go wrong... but it was impossible. Trust Athor? Maybe. Fall in love? Probably not. Yet, amid the fights and challenges, there was something she couldn't ignore. Love... didn't fix shit. Not here. Not for Gavik. Here, it could be the last crack that made everything collapse. Salvation wouldn't come from who she thought it would, and fate had a cruel sense of humor that almost made her laugh... if it weren't for the fear pressing on her chest so tightly it nearly made her stop breathing. ¡Attention!: contains explicit scenes, drama and smut scenes.

In the aftermath of a massacre that shattered the Imperium, the sole surviving child-heir Marius is drawn into a web of control, devotion, and fear. His inscrutable regent and long-forgotten aunt, Allyra Thalorian, moves with the calm precision of someone shaping something vast and unseen, her intentions veiled beneath a self-realized duty that decides what truths are worth destroying a dynasty for. What begins as restoration curdles into revelation: that salvation and damnation may wear the same face. And beneath it all, the Imperium bleeds...quietly, beautifully, endlessly.
