Make sure you read *The Stag Belt: Prologue of Crimes and Passion* first! Welcome to the Stag Belt where you will learn what the Hunt Requires. As the Reaping looms and alliances threaten to fracture, Eden is faced with an impossible truth: peace will demand a body. And hers is the most valuable one left to give. So she chooses it. Not because she is obedient. Not because she believes in the system. But because she knows what happens when no one steps forward. In the Stag Belt, sacrifice is glorified, passion is policed, and survival is never free. Eden's choice will change everything-for her family, her people, and the worlds watching her walk willingly into a fate she understands far better than anyone else ever will. What the Hunt Requires is a dark, emotionally intimate sci-fi romance about duty, loss, and the devastating clarity of choosing others over yourself-and becoming something powerful in the process. Born on Station 401, Eden Rook was raised on obedience, order, and sacrifice. When the colony fell, her parents struck a deal to ensure humanity's survival-offering their daughter to the Zephyrenian Houses as a Tdori, a surrogate chosen to bear the heirs of the ruling stags. Now, she's being prepared for the Reaping, a ceremony where females are bound to their Zephyrenian matches. Eden finds herself trapped between two stags whose rivalry could ignite a war...and whose bond could destroy her. As the Great Hunt approaches, and whispers of rebellion rise from the underbelly of the Hive, Eden must choose between submission and defiance-between the future her parents sold her for, and the freedom she's willing to fight for. Power. Passion. Betrayal. On Zephyros, nothing is freely given-and every choice demands a sacrifice. Please note that this is MFM.

As secrets surface and enemies draw closer, she's pulled toward a fate written in blood and flame... and toward a bond she never expected. Her heart is pulled in two directions and yet there is only one path. In a realm where trust is dangerous and power is never given freely, Ria must decide what she's willing to become to reclaim what was taken. And who she's willing to make a deal with, even if it means trusting the most feared King Elyndor has ever known. *********************** "She is the key to a forgotten throne. He is the weapon no one dares name." "In a realm of fire and lies, only the shadows remember the truth." "He isn't fire. He's something worse. And he just chose her." "She's the heir to a kingdom. He's the end of one." "Power like his was meant to be buried. But fate has other plans."

Book One in the Stag Belt Series Survival demands submission. Instinct demands more. Revina thought landing her first field mission days after graduation was a dream come true-until she learned the catch. She's been sent to the untamed planet of Veythra, a place of dangerous nomadic clans and uncharted lands. The reason she was chosen? Rhyos. Her best friend. Her protector. A half-human, half-Veythrian hybrid who has never set foot on his father's homeland. But the moment they land, everything changes. It's the sacred breeding season. The clans are restless. The males are on edge. And Rhyos-the one person she's always trusted-is changing. His instincts are awakening, his control slipping. Worse, the price of protection among the clans is her participation in their sacred rite. His claim is the only thing standing between her and the others. Because the warriors see her as a prize. A foreign beauty. A fertile offering. And if Rhyos doesn't stake his claim? They will.

Almost a century ago, the fae discovered they could no longer bear children-and humanity paid the price. A treaty was forged: The Offering. Once every couple of decades, young fertile women are taken from their homes and delivered to the fae realm, destined to become wives for fae lords. Treasured. Trapped. Chosen. Daella always knew it could happen to her. But when the fae come, she isn't ready. And she sure as hell isn't willing. Now forced to live inside a gilded palace among the other chosen, Daella must learn the ways of the fae world-obedience, grace, and silence. She refuses. Her defiance draws the attention of the three fae princes, each bound by duty... and each dangerously intrigued by the human girl who dares to fight back. As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom. And in a realm built on secrets and power, she might be the spark that sets everything ablaze.

Elara has always known one truth: if anyone discovers what the water does for her, she will be hunted. Witches without covens don't survive long. Witches with rare gifts don't survive at all. When Elara is brought aboard the Obsidian Reaver, a ship feared across every charted sea. Its crew is made of wolf-blooded warriors, sharp-eyed vampires, and outcasts bound together by something fiercer than loyalty. They are everything she should fear. Yet they are the first ones who don't look at her like a tool or a threat. They protect her. Defend her. Some watch her too closely... especially Yuno, whose quiet warmth pulls at her in ways she cannot risk. But the sea is shifting. Her magic is growing. And something old, older than witches, older than bloodlines, is stirring under her skin, demanding to be seen. If anyone discovers it, she will become a target. A prize. A hunted thing. The Reavers would fight for her. Yuno would bleed for her. But as ancient tomes whisper of forgotten powers and sealed paths, Elara begins to fear a truth darker than any enemy ship: She cannot hide what she is becoming. And the moment she loses control... the world will come for her.

In a realm where dragons choose their mates through ritual and instinct, Annabella-a realist from a world of logic-never believed in magic, fate, or monsters. But after falling through a mysterious rift, she awakens in a wild, primal land filled with creatures who aren't quite human... and who seem to think she belongs to them. She's cold. She's starving. And then the gifts begin. Food. Shelter. Fire. And always, that scent-smoky, powerful, and maddeningly alluring. Survival comes first. Or so she tells herself. But with every brush of clawed fingertips and heated glance, the lines between survival and surrender begin to blur. These dragon shifters don't just want her-they've chosen her. And in their world, choice runs both ways. A slow-burn, emotionally rich, polyamorous romance about instincts, intimacy, and the bonds we never see coming.

She was meant to vanish. Every Terran knows what it means to be Chosen: you never come back. Lyra Sefu is no exception. Just another name on the Ascendance list, selected for the Virexari breeding program under the guise of a peaceful exchange. But when she's claimed by Kaelen Tharien, a hybrid royal engineered for control, something fractures. Even though he is genetic perfection, Kaelen cannot look away. Her defiance undermines his directives. Her scent rewrites his instincts. Her touch ruins protocol. And when their psychic imprint triggers a forbidden bond, their bodies become battlegrounds for history, obsession, and the remnants of a broken covenant no one dares speak of. She is the last human who should have survived. He is the last Virexari who should have surrendered. But the covenant is cracking. ⚠️ Overall Content Note: This book is dark low sci-fi romantasy with heavy exploration of trauma, consent, systemic abuse, and erotic power dynamics.
