The Lamb was never meant to trust The Fox. ---------- Miel has spent her life sheltered behind the walls of her kingdom, raised to be kind, dutiful, and willing to sacrifice her own happiness for her future subjects. Alopex has spent his life learning the opposite. As a thief and survivor, he knows how to lie, disappear, and take whatever he needs. When he is hired to kidnap the princess, he has no reason to care about her fate, only his reward. But their escape is cut short when a beast attacks them on the road. Wounded and desperate, they stumble upon a castle hidden deep within the woods. It belongs to the fae. And they have no intention of letting their new guests leave. Yet the greatest danger may not be the monsters in the dark. Because the Lamb was never supposed to need the Fox, and the Fox was never supposed to care whether the Lamb lived.

"If they dare take you from me, I will burn every crown, every kingdom, until nothing remains but what is mine." . . . . . . Seraphine Valemont has lived her life in gilded cages - trained to obey, to marry, to be the perfect heir. Her destiny is a royal marriage to Prince Alaric of Aerden, a union meant to secure peace, not love. Every choice is made for her, every word measured, every desire forbidden. Then comes Sir Cassian Dareth, her personal knight - a man of shadows and steel, whose loyalty is absolute, and whose presence awakens a dangerous fire within her. Forbidden, intoxicating, and relentless, their connection grows in stolen moments behind palace walls, where a single glance could spell ruin. The prince is polished, commanding, and ready to claim what he believes is rightfully his. But no crown, no command, no army can stand against the storm Cassian has vowed to unleash for her. Bound by duty, torn by desire, and facing a world that will never forgive them, Seraphine must decide whether to follow the path laid out for her... or risk everything for a love that could destroy them both.

Elisana Laurel De Claire, daughter of a grand ducal house, was destined to be Empress - and for a time, she believed in the fairytale. Betrothed since childhood to her dearest friend, Crown Prince Marcus, their union was meant to bring peace and glory to the Salastian Empire. But love fades beneath the weight of power.

Years later, when rebellion threatens the empire, fate brings them together once more. This time, Marcus must face the woman he once forsook - not as his Empress, but as his equal. Amid courtly intrigue, forgiveness, and the fragile bloom of second chances, The Forsaken Empress tells a story of heartbreak and healing - where even the moon can rise again after the darkest night.

In the silk-producing valleys of the Kingdom of Naples, Renza, the daughter of a respected silk merchant, has been raised within the careful order of family and tradition. Lucien arrives as a restless outsider, marked by a past he cannot escape. Around them move others bound by secrecy and survival, including a spy for the Inquisition trained to live between two worlds. As tensions deepen and suspicion spreads through Silk County, their lives draw toward a tragic event history has nearly erased. Echoing the ancient myth of Galatea and Acis in a 16th century setting, Silk County explores how love endures in fragile and often dangerous spaces, where even the most delicate threads can bind souls across time. Content Note: This story contains references to non-graphic sexual situations. It also draws on historical accounts of the Inquisition, including themes of religious persecution and some chapters contain acts of violence. While these elements, as well as 16th century attitudes toward women, are handled with care, they reflect the realities of the period and may be difficult for some readers.

Sir Ronigren, a cynical knight who'd rather be at the bottom of a tankard, is the only thing standing in their way. He's no chosen one, but he's all they've got. Sabine, a girl of impossible height and a forgotten lineage, holds a power that could shatter mountains. She may be the kingdom's last hope, or the catalyst for its final doom. Thrown together by fate, they must lead a band of outcasts on a desperate quest to awaken a forgotten magic before the world is plunged into eternal silence. But in a war fought with steel and sorcery, the deepest wounds are caused by betrayal, and the enemy is already inside the gates.
