A big town with miles of coastline and a castle surrounded by a stretch of roaring sea that seems to never end. The tides grow higher with each passing sun and the town grows darker with so many lies and secrets being told. Six stories. 6 big lies. And truth is lurking behind the walls of Regnum, will the truth win over hate, lies and death? Bringing you the first heart wrenching story of our heroine Danae, from the town of Regnum. --- "Danae you ask?" The boy drops his voice. "She is strong but can be a stuck up. She doesn't have any friends and well, I don't know how to say it but she is lonely. Always has her nose in a book and if you try to talk to her, she will scare you off." He whispers the last part like it's a secret. "Take my advice, stay away from her." Then he's gone, disappearing back into his crowd. But here's the thing about warnings: they only make you more curious. And Danae Elrod has never been as simple as the rumors make her sound.

CONTROLLED BURN 🔥 She fixes scandals for the rich and famous. She can't fix what happened to her. Valentina (Salvatore) DeLuca is London's go-to crisis manager-ice in her veins, stilettos on her feet, and a mind built for emergencies. She keeps other people's secrets for a living because it's easier than facing her own. Then Dante Vance walks into her orbit-an actor with too much charm and a gaze that feels like it sees past her armor. Their banter turns into tension. The tension turns into trust. And trust becomes the one thing Val never planned for. He's not perfect. He's not safe because he's "nice." He's safe because he listens. Because he stops. Because he never tries to own her. But when a call from Toronto threatens to drag Val back into the life she escaped, she has to decide what terrifies her more: Being found... Or being loved. She can manage any fire... except the one he starts in her. 🔥 Author Note: I'm a new writer to Wattpad. Please drop comments. Tell me if I'm doing something wrong or right.

"My story ends how it began: with the threat of eternity." Avia Sable did not ask for this. She was not the one who bargained away her soul in exchange for beauty, power, and invulnerability. No, that was all her mother's work. She did not ask to become a monster, but that is what she is now. "Witch" "Goddess" "Lich" "Vampire". These are the names people have given her, but the truest word for Avia is "alone." That is, until the Queen sends her a huntress, hoping to eradicate the Monster of the Hevamore for good. The huntress was always doomed to fail to take Avia's life, but she did take something else. Something that Avia never knew she had. Her heart. Still, though, there are those who will stop at nothing to ensure Avia's demise. But now, Avia has something to fight for, someone to protect. And when they come for her and her huntress, they'll learn just how much of a monster Avia really is. THIS STORY CONTAINS REFERENCES TO OLD CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY, INCLUDING DEMONS, THE DEVIL, AND HELL. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO READ THESE IN CONNECTION WITH THE OCCULT OR IN A NARRATIVE WAY, THIS STORY IS NOT FOR YOU. THANK YOU!
