What happens when you break a rule in Shadowmantle? They eliminate you. What happens when a Prince and a Princess commit a crime in Shadowmantle? They eliminate them too, even when the crime is stupid and ridiculous, even when their sin came natural and there was nothing they could've done about it. AN ELF CANNOT FALL INLOVE WITH A MAGE.

The dreaded outcome of the "unlawful" affair. Cover credit: @africanliterature

Randomness describes the collection of poems in this book.

The word "Romance" immediately pops up the figures of floating hearts and happy ending in one's mind. But, this one is something more than that.... The beginning is smooth and scintillating, when the situations favour. Simon to get on to his first love. But, in the latter part of the chapter, one realizes that : WHEN LOVE HAPPENS, THE FIRE CATCHES ONE, BUT, IT CAUSES BURNS TO THE OTHER..." It is not just romance fiction; it is a mystery, fantasy, adventure and a tragedy as well. It's just more than what it is....... The credit for this awefully pleasant cover goes to a majestic cover designer - @loyallyric Currently discontinued. I'll be continuing it again after completing my high school. :)

Oh how Time did us no mercy, . How Red Roses grew Pale, How Green Fields, Went barren. How two souls, they decayed, Layer upon Layer of Soot, And How true Love grew Stale. ______ Burnt Essences, is the story, of how we like what is toxic to us, and what happens, if we get addicted. . Every single story has that "extra plot twist" where Love turns the table around. The plot twist of Denial. The plot twist that is the result of the author's sadness and unwillingness to accept his loss. . But this story is not a lying, happy ending. This is a story of hard truths. Where when Romeo dies, love does not prevail. Where, when Juliet drinks the poison, he does not kiss her and die. He turns around. And he leaves. . . So here is our fairytale, More real than most. Where demons kill the knights, Where Evil wins. . Here when Romeo dies, Love does not survive. Here We are all, paper wings.

HIGHEST RANKINGS: #38 in Action #19 in Fantasy Adventure #3 in Fantasy Action ~~~~~~~~~~~ Summary: Adventure, action, romance, and secrets. Many, many secrets. An assassin who isn't what she seems, a king who rules with an iron fist and will execute all who get in his way, a thief who wants nothing more than blood to be spilled, and a prince who has an unruly past and a great hidden power. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A passage from the book: Lucas skimmed through the crowd, searching for her. He had caught but just a mere glimpse of her earlier that same evening. She was not of this kingdom, but she was exceptionally beautiful, even though she was wearing a mask. Her hair as dark as midnight complimented the black dress she wore which was made of silk. Lucas pushed his way out of the denser area of the crowd. He felt it was absurd to find anyone at this busy masquerade ball. Young ladies tugged at the edges of his sleeves, wanting to dance with him, Prince Lucas; but he was focused on one thing only, finding the girl. He finally caught sight of her on the balcony, gazing into the moonlight. Making his way over to her, his heart started to quicken. Just as he was going to open the glass door, she jumped from the balcony. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WARNING: this is an unedited first draft. Upon completion the editing will begin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I loved it!" @KirraWrites "Intriguing, addictive, and a compelling read..." @EDEC147

"Afifa slow down" Leila told me as I was walking fast. but I gave her deaf ears as I increased my pace. I heard my phone rang, as I reached into my bag to look for it. I bumped into someone and we both fell on the floor. "Ouch!" I heard a feminine voice said. "I'm so sorry" I said as I started to pack my shopping bags and the rest of my stuffs that fell on the floor. I kept my stuffs aside as I helped her with hers. I packed all the clothes that she was holding before which are now splattered all over the floor. "I'm so sorry miss" I said to her again "No problem" she said. "Mistakes do happen don't they" she said freely and I smiled. There was something about this girl's voice but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Her face was half covered with a dark peach viel which went well with the black abaya that has an amazing weave on it. She removed the viel and pinned it roughly and then raised her head and extended hand "Hi my name is Afina, nice to meet you" she said as I bent down my head to look at my phone. "Hi. Mine is Afifa, nice to......" I stopped in my tracks as I took hold of the view in front of me Lo and behold!...I never expected I would see anything like this in my whole entire life. I was amazed, shocked and utterly confused. I was looking at her wide eyes and so was she. We were looking at each other as if we were both aliens from different planet who are meeting eachother for the first time. "Who are you?" We both asked simultaneously.

❝ Let me worship you, let me caress your skin with the frigid touch of the gods. Catherine, I want to love you. ❞ ❝ The gods do not hold a frigid touch, only the servants of sin carry such. I am not one to be worshiped, but one to laugh at those who do. ❞ _ ♛ _ Highest Rank: 453 Catherine Barlos is the second born child, out of two, and more importantly a gambling piece for both her farther and brother. Being born second, the girl was discarded, and posted as a image for the werewolf world. She was a regal figure, her appearance laced with poised acceptance, and a transparent crown. Catherine was the spotlight for the world, her pretty face a center piece for the Barlos family. Being born second she never had a chance at taking the role of Alpha, her life tumbling downward to leave her with a future of powerless dismay. She's is a girl with a empty power, and dissolving hope. Her shoulders heavy with the world, and the death of her father. Her heart emptied of the emotions that once raveled so close to her soul, only to be filled with a darkened abyss. After slaughtering their father in a grim challenge to the death, her older brother has taken the role of Alpha and the territory. With a hand of iron, and a voice of persuasion Ethan Barlos has descended to power, his hollowed gaze heated with a promise of sin and tragedy. But it didn't seem to last, his reign over the land faltered as a new Alpha came into power. With a fight to the death, Ethan Barlos had fallen to his death, leaving behind Catherine and the murderer. Catherine doesn't know who she is, or has yet to figure out what power she holds between two worlds. She is a Queen, with a lost crown.

"Are you sure it's going to work?" I asked him, accepting the vial, and opening the lid. "Positive," Gauis answered. As I tilted the vial upwards into my lips to drink, "Do you know that you are married to Sir Leon?" Gauis asked. The liquid immediately burst out of my lips, and I started coughing uncontrollably.
