Kill, or be killed. The only phrase Nyssa Orya really cares about. When her sister was taken from her after her parents were murdered she became an assassin. That was when she was six. Now the seventeen-year-old has built a reputation as The Shadow, or Tshula's Assassin.
When she is wounded and attacked she has no other choice than to surrender herself to the king, King Orian. He immediately arranges for her execution, but things don't go as planned for him or Nyssa when she is saved by a mysterious man in a black cloak.

The Villainess Won't Play
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.Complete
You Only Live Twice (Discontinued-ish)
Olivia was your average 18 year old girl. Keyword, 𝙬𝙖𝙨, until she drowned in a lake and woke up in a crappy novel her friend recommended to her. The character she'd been convinced to read it for ended up being a small-time, side villain that disappeared half-way through the story, Olivia Auclair, the duke's sickly eldest daughter with the same first name as her. And just as her luck would have it, she now is living as that Olivia. Truthfully, she barely knew what she was getting into or why she was sent here after death in the first place. The only recollection she had of the story was the spoiled, self-centered heroine, Angelica, with a generic backstory and extremely overpowered abilities, the main characters who surround her, and of course, her hatred for the fictional book. Her saving grace to stay alive and well? Well of course it is to befriend the two most prominent characters within her reach, the antagonist and the male lead. Both of which eventually would be roped into the heroine's harem, but if all went right then hopefully by then she wouldn't have anything to worry about. Unfortunately, her plan backfired some where along the way, and now she is faced with the heroine's silent wrath and jealousy, her pawns overprotectiveness, an adopted noble's persistence, family drama, and the ever enclosing end of the story. What's a girl to do in her second life except lie down and accept her impending doom? -> Currently being rewritten!!! <-

The Dagger of Eden
In the heart of the crime-ridden Ancien City, Anjali Isa has mastered the art of stealth and murder. A deadly daggerman with the infamous Assassin Guild, she is one of the six killers serving the highest bidder in a city where secrets are currency, and betrayal is the norm. But when a new contract arrives-an assassination on the prince of Fastus, the richest and most powerful of the six magical Sila kingdoms-everything changes. The Sila kingdoms, thriving with their magic and wealth, have long turned their backs on the human lands, which are ravaged by poverty, war, and disaster. The Sila people possess unparalleled abilities and have closed their borders, leaving humans to suffer. Anjali's mission is simple: kill the prince and destabilize the kingdom. Anjali is forced to go undercover within the walls of the Fastus kingdom. But the prince, Kal, is no fool. He quickly discovers who she is, and instead of ordering her death, he turns their cat-and-mouse game into a twisted battle of wills, a contest where each must outwit and outlast the other-whoever survives wins, but neither is ready for what's about to unfold. As Anjali navigates the glittering yet deadly world of court politics, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies, manipulation, and murder. Fastus is unraveling from the inside out, and its once-glorious Tree of Vita, a sacred symbol of the kingdom's prosperity, begins to wither and die. Kal is desperate to uncover why the tree is dying and what dark force is eating away at his kingdom's lifeblood. With every passing day, secrets come to light, and enemies close in. Anjali is torn between her loyalty to the Assassin Guild and her growing understanding of the Sila. Between a kingdom on the brink of collapse and a prince who seems to know her better than anyone else, Anjali must decide where her true allegiance lies-and if she can find a way to stop the destruction she was hired to unleash.Complete
