The Last King, Book I by A. Yamina Collins is an 11-part serial novel.
Twenty-eight year Emmy Hughes has never quite fit in---she's six feet tall, dark-skinned, and daydreams of being Galadriel from Lord of the Rings. But when she is badly injured in a car accident that kills her mother, Emmy does not dream of fantastical worlds anymore---she just wants her shattered life to be normal again.
Unfortunately, normalcy is the last thing in store for her once she meets Lake George's newest arrival, Dr. Gilead Knightly. Granted immortality from a line of people whose Great Ancestor marched into the Garden of Eden and ate from the Tree of Life, Gilead has been alive for centuries and has met everyone from Nubian kings to Napoleon.
But Gilead and his eccentric family are also hunted beings because God considers the Edenites' possession of immortality to be theft. And for thousands of years He has dealt with their transgression by sending each of them a "Glitch" ---an unsuspecting human meant to retrieve this stolen "property" of immortality and kill them off.
When Emmy discovers that she is Gilead's Glitch, she is not only thrown into a world of immortals who eat bone marrow, panthers who read minds, and a family whose blood is made of pulsing gold, but she finds herself the target of Gilead's vengeance: he must get rid of her before she gets rid of him.
Easier said than done. Because Glitches are not only an Edenite's greatest threat---they're also their greatest love.

The Stolen Amulet (ECHOES OF ETERNITY SERIES, BOOK I)
What happens when a simple birthday gift unravels the threads of fate itself? The land of Yuvell thrives on magic, where ordinary lives intertwine with the extraordinary. Among its people is Sarah Day, the eldest daughter of the Day family and the successor to her family's pottery shop. On the day of her coming-of-age celebration, Sarah receives a strange yellow amulet from her older brother, Dorian-a gift she doesn't fully understand, but cherishes all the same. Days later, Dorian vanishes without a trace, along with several magicians from her hometown. The only clue left behind is the amulet that is pulsing with a strange power that Sarah cannot yet comprehend. Nonetheless, determined to bring her brother home, Sarah leaves behind the comfort of her shop and ventures into a world brimming with mystery and deceit. During her search, she crosses paths with a mysterious man named Euros, whose guilefulness hides more than he lets on. Though their alliance is uneasy at first, Sarah soon realizes that their fates may be more intertwined than either of them dares to admit. As they follow the trail of the missing magicians, histories that have long been buried slowly began to resurface. Each step draws Sarah closer to the heart of a conspiracy that threatens not only her journey-but the balance between magic and mankind itself. Now, with deception at every turn and trust growing thinner by the day, Sarah must decide: how far is she willing to go to save the ones she loves? And when the truth finally surfaces, will she be ready to face it?

As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The Cursed King
The cursed king is a shameless husband. In the land where the human race lived side by side with other races like the elves, witches, and those immortal beings often calling themselves gods, lived a formidable king, Loriel Ashborn. Feared by many, his power expanded throughout the whole continent of Atlantea. One fatal mistake caused him to lose the woman he loved as she was sent to the future by the evil Time Master before he died. The only way to see her again is for him to take the curse of immortality, and so he did. Now, after 15 centuries, Loriel finally found her again. But she didn't remember him? Well, who cares! This time, the shameless husband would never let her go ever again. To make her remember him, he even faked a terminal illness with his 'dying wish' was to experience how it was like to be married. And when he *cough cough* 'miraculously' made a full recovery, he said, "Wifey, you saved my life! Now, I owe you forever. I will repay with my body." *** AUTHOR'S NOTE: In their previous life, the king felt that he was not a good husband to his wife, so this time around, he would make up to her and be the best husband she could ever hope for. You will witness a total simp, a devoted doting husband who would pamper his wife to no end and give the whole world to her. This story will have a lot of snusnu/lemon/smut and it's not advised to read if you are prudish or underage. Also, there will be magic. A lot of magic because the male lead is a 'god' and the female lead is a 'witch'.Terminé
