Aleyr Frostborn has survived a hundred prophecies of her defeat, breaking each one by slaying the champions of light sent to kill her. Amongst the forces of good, her very name is a curse, and with good reason. Beyond her own evil, it is said that so long as she lives, the reign of the Godslayer himself will last: the lich king who the terrified masses call the King in Black. While the kingdoms and empires that surround the blighted lands of the undead lands struggle to survive and beat back the tide of evil, the machinations of the Eternal Kingdom's dark court barely contain bitter struggles for power between the forces that have made it what it is. With one foretold hero brutally snuffed out, another will inevitably arise. For Aleyr, the cycle only further embitters her towards the gods of good and all those who serve them. But the truth is that her downfall might be something much closer to home than their prophecies, those last dregs of mortality beating inside her own chest. With a thoughtless intersection between cruelty and mercy, she begins a chain of events threatening to tear the Eternal Kingdom and her own loyalties into shreds. After all, many things can be broken, not just prophecies. (Posting to RoyalRoad under K.

They say the gods buried their secrets beneath the roots of Idoko - a land that once bowed to the black serpent and now kneels before the Cross. But when Azoran, the last heir of the Serpentine Kingdom, rises from the shadows to avenge the murder of his parents, Idoko's peace begins to crumble. Disguised as a mortal teacher, Azoran enters the royal contest to win the heart of Princess Zara, the most beautiful maiden in all Isoko land. His goal is simple - infiltrate the royal bloodline and destroy it from within. But fate is a cruel puppeteer. A single mistake - a whip, a cry, a boy's blinded eyes - binds him to Hillary, the youngest son of the king's brother. And now, royal blood must pay the price. As old gods awaken and shadows coil beneath the throne, Azoran finds himself torn between vengeance and something far more dangerous - mercy. Because in the land of Idoko, where sacred blood was once spilled, the Black Rose of Amata must bloom again - sinfully perfect, and fatally divine. #TheBlackRoseOfAmata #SinfullyPerfect #BlackRose #AmataSeries #AmataChronicles #TheBlackRose #IsokoMythology #IsokoCulture #NigerDeltaFantasy #SouthernNigeria #AfricanFantasy #AfricanRoyalty #CulturalHeritage #NigerianFantasy #TribalRoyalty #MythAndMagic #DarkRoyalty #RoyalRomance #ForbiddenLove #PalaceSecrets #CursedKingdom #RoyalBlood #ThroneAndDesire #PowerAndBetrayal #CrownAndSin p #DarkRomance #EnemiesToLovers #SinfulDesires #ForbiddenPassion #PainAndPleasure #BrokenSouls #LoveAndPunishment #VengeanceAndLust #MythAndMystery I #PowerAndTemptation #AfricanMythology #IsokoLegends #DeltaStateFiction #Suspense #chelseamaya ©️ Copyright 2025 Chelsea Maya Victory Johnson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

(BOOK 1 Of the QUEENS OF CHAOS SERIES) Isa Valen doesn't believe in restraint. Two weeks ago, she did champagne, a sinfully accented stranger, and a night so consuming she ran before sunrise. She doesn't remember his face. She doesn't remember his name. But her body remembers the way he made it burn. When her sister runs to New York, Isa follows without hesitation. New city. New job. New distractions. Then she meets her boss. Erik Orlov. Billionaire. Bratva Don. A devastatingly gorgeous tattooed man built from control and violence wrapped in tailored suits. The first time he looks at her, something tightens in her chest. The first time he steps close, her pulse betrays her. She doesn't recognize him. He recognizes the curve of her mouth. The sound she made when he touched her. The way she ran. The night she can't remember is the one he hasn't stopped replaying. Now she works beneath him - in his office, in his space, in his world. Every glance lasts too long. Every accidental touch feels deliberate. Every breath between them feels charged. And Erik Orlov does not chase. He claims. Enemies circle his empire. Loyalty fractures. Power shifts. But none of it unsettles him like the woman sitting across his desk, pretending she doesn't feel it too. Until two pink lines appear. Because the only thing more dangerous than their chemistry... Is the secret growing between them. And this time, he won't let her run.

Theodora Silvano is going to marry Reed Harrison. Everyone knows that. It is inevitable. They are a match made in childhood summers, family vacations, old money expectations, and the kind of long, tangled history that practically writes wedding vows for you. It has been Thea's life mission ever since she was nine years old. Loving Reed is easy. Familiar. Safe. Until, suddenly, it isn't. Because for the first time in her life, Thea finds herself questioning things she never thought to question, noticing things she never meant to notice, and wondering whether love is supposed to feel comforting...or terrifying. Meanwhile, Violet Silvano-Reyes is absolutely, completely, aggressively over Asher Kingsley. At least, that is the story she tells herself. After all, people who ruin your life do not get second chances. Unfortunately, hearts are dramatic little traitors.

Content Warning (18+): This book contains explicit, graphic sexual content, including scenes and references to sexual assault, as well as graphic violence and gore. Intended for readers aged 18 and over. Please read at your own discretion. BOOK TWO of The Breath of Aethriel This story is not a standalone. Read Book One: A Crown of Storms before continuing. In Aethriel, freedom is never given - it's bargained for. Velari's disappearance has already shaken kingdoms. Far from court and crown, she is drawn into a hidden world of ancient loyalties, forbidden knowledge, and political games played in shadow. Every truth uncovered carries a cost, and every alliance demands something in return. Because Velari is no longer just a runaway princess. She is leverage. As old powers stir and carefully constructed lies begin to fracture, the war threatening Aethriel reveals itself as something far older - and far more personal - than any clash of armies. Gods are not what they claim to be. History is not what was recorded. And the storm within Velari is no longer content to remain contained. When she finally loses control, it will not break chains. It will break the world.

Book 1 of The IronBlood Saga Death was supposed to be the end. Instead, it became a detour. Raina De Luca was forged in blood-the daughter of an Italian mafia don, trained from childhood to survive betrayal, carve power out of fear, and never hesitate. When a rival family puts a bullet in her skull, she expects darkness. What she wakes to is war. Reborn in a land ruled by dragons and deadly magic, Raina is forced into Basgiath War College, where survival is earned one kill at a time. Her instincts make her lethal. Her discipline makes her respected. Her past keeps her dangerous. But nothing about her resurrection is an accident. Her strength is wrong-too natural. Her senses are sharp in ways no human should possess. Her magic, when it stirs, feels ancient... familiar... remembered. And the dragons look at her not with curiosity, but recognition. Whispers follow her through Basgiath-echoes of a life she doesn't remember. A power she once had. A homeland beyond this world entirely. One whose people are older, immortal, and carry starlight in their blood. As Venin rise and war looms, Raina realizes her arrival wasn't fate. It was a mistake. An interruption. A displacement from a world that is calling her back. One ruled by courts. By magic. By a High Lord who has long believed his lost sister died centuries ago. In Navarre, death was mercy. What comes next is the truth she was never meant to forget.

When eighteen-year-old Eli Seraphine enters the academy, she thinks she knows her world. She doesn't. Because one man is more than he seems. Heiden-dark, enigmatic, and terrifyingly powerful-is no ordinary professor. A half-demon marked by centuries of exile, he hides scars deeper than anyone could imagine, and a hunger he can barely control. In a school built on obedience, Eli refuses to bend. But when ancient rivalries stir, fated bonds awaken, and demons from forgotten bloodlines resurface, Eli finds herself at the center of a game far deadlier than any lesson plan. Heiden protects her, challenges her, and awakens something primal within her-but can a bond forged in fire survive the shadows of the past? *Inspired by Harry Potter but I asked what if the prophecy is to ruin someone by love?* (This contains a male protagonist who deals with mental health issues.)

Asterria has entered an era of renewal following the battle at Durga's How, but its sense of peace cannot be shared by those who heard the dire warning given by the gods. Although ten months have passed, Morana and Tarion still believe that Astaroth could return and are determined to be ready to face him this time. But their people have other priorities which threaten to upend their lives once more. Division is spreading between the people who are pushing for Tarion and Morana to be crowned Asterria's new King and Queen, and those who believe their purpose has been served. They are caught in the rippling tides of change, and with the future hidden from even those who once wrote it, there is no telling where that change will lead. As the tension grows, Morana is becoming more afraid that they won't be prepared to face the new threats emerging, and of what will happen if her worst fears are realized. Only one Heir of Hadeon will remain standing at the end of it all: an immortal God-spawn, or the mortal Phoenix. Can Morana fulfill her destiny and the sacrifices demanded by it to destroy Astaroth once and for all, or will the world be lost in flames?

The Kingdom of Rising Book Two of the Ruined Realms Saga Five months after the war, Ria stands among the ruins she fought to reclaim. Her kingdom is rising again - stone by stone, heart by heart - but peace is proving far more dangerous than war ever was. The prophecy that once whispered hope now dictates their path, and its fulfillment may demand more than they are willing to give. To see it through, the fractured kingdoms must unite-and an unexpected, otherworldly ally appears in their midst: Eli, an angel whose loyalty carries a cost none can measure. Yet as they race to fulfill destiny, Varian moves in secret to shatter it, his reach closer than anyone suspects. Together, Ria and her companions must hunt for a weapon powerful enough to kill an angel - a relic said to be hidden on an island that most believe a myth. But as villages burn and shadows move in the cracks between alliances, one traitor is caught... and another still hides among them. Amid the growing storm, Ria's bond with Nikolai - the Umbra Kyrios, feared king of TharVhal and the male fate bound her to - is pushed to its breaking point. Secrets fester between them, truths neither dares to speak, and the line between love and ruin blurs with every heartbeat. The Kingdom of Rising is a story of power and passion, of betrayal and unyielding love - where the light itself must bow to the shadows to survive.
