For centuries, the cosmos has been bleeding. Ever since the Moon Goddess Seliane fell in the Final Celestial War, the realms have waited in the shadows for the prophecy of the Pisces Guardian to come true: "When the sky weeps silver and the stars burn red, a child of the forgotten sky shall rise again." ​Mierell knows nothing of dead goddesses or fractured realms. She believes she is an ordinary girl, spending her quiet nights looking up at the sky, haunted by a deep longing for a love she can't quite name. Until he steps out of the dark. ​Kallias is a phantom of secrets and starlight. Their fated encounter ends in a magnetic, impossible kiss before he vanishes, leaving Mierell to question her own sanity. But when the next full moon rises, Kallias returns with a devastating truth: Mierell is far from ordinary, and he has been waiting for her for centuries. ​Fiercely devoted and dangerously possessive, Kallias is bound to Mierell by a pull neither can resist. Yet his presence brings a deadly shadow. Intertwined with the ancient prophecy, Kallias doesn't know if he is destined to be her ultimate savior or her total ruin. He was never meant to finish this war. She will. ​With the cosmic balance unraveling, Mierell must step into a power she never asked for. Can she rewrite the stars and defy a tragic destiny, or is she doomed to repeat the ruin of the past?

There is a hope that blooms in my heart, wanting to capture the true colors. But time to time that feels impossible. Until I saw you. You were my color in a field full of sunflowers. All those colors where only black and white but you.. I saw you in all colors. That day felt like a new start, the start of the innocence of 29 days. This is my first book, written from a place of emotion, memory, and quiet longing. Any kind of support means more than you know. Feel free to leave your thoughts - I'd love to hear how the story made you feel. I hope you find a part of yourself in these pages.

"Let it be known: Henceforth, no vampire shall slay a human for any reason lest they lose their unnatural life. Only when a human raises a deadly hand against vampiric kind may their own life be forfeit" - Lex Hemata (Code I) From the obsidian towers of Xarrowmere, the vampires rule with aristocratic power. Humans exist beneath them, confined to shadowed wards but sanctified as necessary sustenance. The new vitalist tradition. Seraphina, a nightbourne vampire was born into this tradition. She lived among the humans with near perfect restraint, especially around her closet friend. Asa, now a man, Sera had known from childhood. She was content to know only him until his life expired. Now, with the Sovereign in Xarrowmere having slain a human, his life is forfeit and his nightbourne heirs must take on the mantle and choose a nightbourne bride. Luckily the choice is easy, there is only one. Elevated in status and delivered to court under her mother's calculating gaze, she is meant to secure alliances, command admiration, and solidify her family's place among the elite. Instead, she finds herself at the center of a court teeming with rivalry between devourists and vitals. The disgraced sovereign awaits execution. The future of the empire rests in uncertain hands. And Elias, the eldest heir, watches her with an intensity that feels less like admiration and more predatory interest. And Elliot, the youngest...he barely watches at all.

Book 1 of The Night Library duology. Can be read as a standalone _________________________________________________________________________________ Some doors are locked for a reason. Centuries ago, Lucien was entrusted with the stewardship of a library unlike any other: a vast, hidden archive where the oldest truths of the world were kept safe from those who would twist them. Over the centuries, he has watched seekers come and go, most leaving empty-handed... if they left at all. Now, Isla's search for her missing sister leads her to the library's threshold. Drawn into its labyrinth of secrets, she finds herself under Lucien's watchful eye- unsure whether he means to help her, hinder her, or keep her there forever. As they follow a trail of ancient records and dangerous revelations, Isla begins to suspect her sister's disappearance is tied to something far larger and far older than she ever imagined. And in the library's depths, where history blurs with the present, the cost of finding the truth may be more than either of them can bear. ________________________________________________________________________________ Note: Please do not upload any part of this story to AI or language-processing platforms.

What happens when the boy who chose you as his target ends up being the one you cannot unlove? Nelliel Watkins arrives at university with one simple wish: to exist quietly, to study, and to go unnoticed. But from the very first morning, Élian Blackwood makes that impossible. Charming, devastatingly handsome, and dangerously calculated, he sets his sights on her - not out of love, but out of a wound so old and so deep that he has confused revenge with survival. What follows is a story of manipulation and heartbreak, of a girl who learns to fall apart and then, slowly and painfully, learns to put herself back together. Of a boy who set out to destroy someone and ended up destroying his own carefully built walls instead. Of families long separated finally finding their way back to each other, and of two people who were never supposed to love each other - and did anyway. Dark, emotional, and deeply human, this is a story about what it means to be seen. About bodies we are taught to be ashamed of and hearts we are taught to protect. About forgiveness that is never easy and love that refuses to be reasonable. Because sometimes, the gaze that changes everything belongs to the very last person you expected.
