"Who says I cannot be the fair princess this land wants and the brazen knight this land needs?"
  
  In the kingdom of Zortia lives a princess with the steely heart of a warrior. Princess Serilda is bored to tears of pretty dresses and the annoying gossip of court. Stifled in the palace, she finds a way to be herself and also fulfill her obligations as a princess. 
  
  With her brother sitting the throne as the King of Zortia, she is able to traverse her kingdom, free from the burden of the crown. By day she journeys her kingdom as the rough knight Raxia, helping those she can and slaying burdensome monsters who dare tread on Zortia's soil. 
  
  But as the curtain of dusk falls, she parades her palace as the fair princess Serilda, beloved of her people, the blushing maiden who sits beside her brother and says nothing. A delightful princess to all who meet her.
  
  On her eighteenth birthday, her life is altered when her ball is abruptly interrupted by a mysterious man claiming that she is now his property, all because of a bargain her brother struck many years ago.
  
  Confused and hurt, she can do nothing to change the fact that she is bound to the man for life because of her brother's insatiable greed. Little does she know that her brother's debtor is the prince of the Elven kingdom, Ellesmere. Prince Eralys, her handsome captor, takes her back to his land, where she learns that she needn't live two lives anymore. In the land of the elves, being a princess and a fighter are one in the same.
  
  But in a foreign kingdom, a foreign princess has few allies. It is up to her to find those who she can trust and decide her own fate, regardless of her wavering heart.

Disclaimer: Content is subject to change as the story is still being refined. AI-generated images are used for illustrative purposes only. Kastiel Ravaryn, the fiercest general in all of Solmaria, was a name whispered in fear on the battlefield. His victories were countless, his strategies unparalleled, and his loyalty to his kingdom unwavering. When the king offered a prize for his triumphs-not wealth, nor land, but a woman of his choice-the court expected him to claim a noble lady, perhaps even Princess Avaria herself. But Kastiel shocked them all by choosing Seraphine Kaelor-a humble healer, a commoner, and a woman whose kindness had unknowingly captured his heart. Seraphine, who had spent her life healing the wounded and tending to the sick, never imagined she would be thrust into the heart of a royal scandal. She had always known her place, far from the glittering world of nobles and kings, but Kastiel's unexpected choice shattered her understanding of her own worth. As she became the center of court gossip, Seraphine found herself caught between the love of a man who defied his station and the dangerous obsession of Princess Avaria, who would stop at nothing to claim Kastiel for herself. While Kastiel battles foreign invaders, he is also forced to fight against the web of lies, betrayal, and envy that threaten to tear his world apart. With Seraphine's life hanging in the balance and the kingdom's future uncertain, Kastiel must confront not only the enemies at his doorstep but the haunting truth that love, above all, may be the war that leaves him broken beyond repair. In a land where loyalty and betrayal intertwine, where every victory is shadowed by loss, Kastiel and Seraphine must navigate a perilous path, one where their hearts and their lives are the ultimate prize.

Elio Nott is perhaps one of the most well-known bachelors in the Wizarding World. He's dashing, charming, and never serious. Which is why when Elio turns twenty-three with no signs of settling down, his parents decide to force him into the world of pureblood balls and matchmaking, much to his chagrin. The only perks are the *many* elegant females and, perhaps, the spiked punch. Elio hates it all. Until he goes to the stupid Malfoy Masquerade Ball only to find the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But before he can even get her name, she disappears. Annalise Riddle is quiet, slow to trust, and prefers the company of her piano to one of her peers any day. As the daughter of the Dark Lord, she is constantly in danger so Annie spends her days shyly hidden away for fear of being harmed by one of his many enemies. So she isn't expecting to go to a ball and meet a stunning boy with grey eyes and a charming grin that takes away all of her defenses. Panicking, Annie leaves and vows to never see him again. Until he shows up another night to search for her. A Game of Cat and Mouse tells of a woman afraid of love and a man so determined to have her that he will stop at nothing. This book contains instant attraction, billionaire-esque playboy MMC, a sprinkle of dark romance, cinderella retelling, brother's rival, "he falls first AND harder", forced proximity, and lots of male pining. This is a spinoff of the Slytherin Boys series. It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required. This story does NOT take place at Hogwarts! . . . "There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are. I am certain that a vision of you inspired the heavens, that one glimpse of you would make God realize why he created man. You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you."

In an attempt to salvage and regain the wealth that is so rapidly depleting, her uncle decides to throw every eligible, rich and titled gentleman her way, no matter how despicable and snobbish - but Annalise knows that it is only the half-truth. He wants to get her out of the way, so he can govern her Duchy the way he has always wanted, and bleed it dry.

❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 11] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For, to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. - What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carries, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out to find the Elementals-a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.

My Fucked Up Fairytale

27 parts Complete Mature

TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: When college student Cyra finds her life falling apart after a brutal breakup, she wishes for an escape-only to awaken in a realm filled with sword-wielding vampires, deadly elves, and more fantastical creatures. Unfortunately for Cyra, she's been chosen to marry a powerful vampire prince... and kill him. Trapped between survival and a dagger with a destiny, she must navigate a world where fairytales come soaked in blood, sarcasm, and forbidden attraction.
