Yan's whole life has been in the state of an eclipse. Always holding on to the sliver of his sun, and never letting go. Yet he cannot help but look behind, at the games the shadows play. He looks out for his Antumbra, the lightest shadow, and he knows that there is hope that he will fight all of his demons to save and to be saved.
Over 200 years, Morail has advanced so much as a political superpower, especially now under the leadership of King Basileus, that it has left the rivaling countries choking on dust. Now more than ever, the Royal family is threatened by a plan to overthrow them, in which the rivals play their part as much as the citizens of Morail do.
After the years of struggle, Yan Krilyn and Zor Grizeis have risen from nothing, to being the owners of one of the most influential trading businesses. Due to their aptitude the King appoints them Royal Ministers of Trade and Finance. Their very first task is to investigate the huge amount of sums that the Crown is rapidly losing. This innocent strike of a match sets off an explosion of events that no one had anticipated...

Highness
Twenty years ago, the world was flipped on its head by the emergence of Lycans. They existed only in legends and myths... until they didn't. Easily overtaken by the beings who possessed far superior strength and sharpened primordial instincts, the human race fell inferior, poverty-stricken, and was forced to watch as civilization gave way to a higher order. Those who weren't killed in the Emergence gathered in remote towns. This is where Aurora Dyer was raised, with only the faintest memories of life before the Lycans. However, even these isolated settlements could not outrun the Decree issued that fateful winter's eve: His Highness seeks a Bride. The search begins for a suitable mate, whatever the cost. Along with hundreds of other women, Aurora finds herself herded into a world clouded with unimaginable wealth, mystery and depth. As the selection for Her Highness begins, Aurora must not only confront the monster responsible for overtaking her life, but also prevent him from destroying what remains of it. // ONGOING | To be completed by Summer 2026 Written by MaybeManhattan

Her Mate - Olivia (The Gray Wolves Series #1)
Suddenly, I feel a hand that intertwines mine. The touch is warm but still not enough to comfort me after the news I've just got. I feel someone is leading me out of the office. Nothing is really clear to me. I barely see my parents, Julie and Eli's face as the hand keeps on pulling me away from them. No more links with Elijah. I don't know if I closed my mind or if he did. But I can't feel him anymore. My feet follow the lead. I raise my head and I see that the Prince is calmly leading me to the stairs. Before we start to climb the stairs, I feel a hand on my lower back while the other is still intertwined with mine. The Prince looks at me and no emotions can be read on his face.
