Emylin is a human. Her best friend, Damien, is not. He's the mysterious, handsome King of the Underworld. A social outcast, shunned by her peers, Emmy never felt like she belonged. She'd lose her mind if it wasn't for Damien. 

Damien is the ruthless, other-worldly ruler of the Dark Faerie Kingdom. Meeting as children, they have had an unlikely friendship that is kept secret from everyone in both worlds. Fearing an uprising after his father's untimely death, the newly crowned King Damien must find a Queen quickly before the next Blood Moon. He sets his eyes on Leah, Emmy's classmate and bully, as the ideal candidate. 

Emmy must now play matchmaker for her life-long best friend in order to save a secret, ancient kingdom mankind has never known existed. She also has to juggle Damien's crazy requests (like setting up his dates), Leah in her new life, work, her own college workload and the unraveling of a secret murderous plot that will endanger Damien and Emmy herself. 

No one ever said being friends with the King of the Underworld was easy.

The Dark King's Game by eriwd50082
6 parts Ongoing Mature
Cassie's life takes a dark and unexpected turn when she is claimed as the mate of Damien, the powerful and manipulative Fey King. Bound to him through an unbreakable bond, she is thrust into a world of immortal politics, hidden dimensions, and devastating secrets. When she learns that Damien erased her memories of his betrayal, Cassie flees to the Other World, a dimension that bridges two Earths: one where humans remain ignorant of magic, and another where magic and immortals coexist openly. Seeking refuge with Noz also now as Nosferatu, a neutral ruler in the Other World, Cassie discovers she is pregnant with Damien's twins. Determined to protect her children, she hides in the Neutral Zone, far from Damien's reach. But her sanctuary is short-lived. Damien's relentless pursuit leads to a dangerous exchange, forcing Cassie to return to his side to save her loved ones. As she adjusts to her new immortal life after a transformation that binds her to a dark and ancient magic, Cassie must contend with Damien's unyielding dominance and schemes. While he claims his actions are driven by love, his obsession grows darker, and she begins to suspect that he has no intention of letting her-or their children-go. Meanwhile, a rebellion led by Drago, a dragon shifter from Earth Two and the mate of Cassie's doppelgänger, Kaci, threatens Damien's reign. As the lines blur between allies and enemies, Cassie finds herself torn between loyalty to the man she loves and fear of the monster he's become. With the Devourer, a powerful and ancient evil unleashed by the cauldron that turned her immortal, threatening to consume both worlds, Cassie must decide whether to stand by Damien or fight to stop him-even if it means risking everything. Betrayal, passion, and power collide in this tale of forbidden love, redemption, and survival. Will Cassie save the worlds she's caught between, or will Damien's obsession destroy everything?

ONC Shortlister 2023! There are few rules in the Kingdom of Kadotaru, and punishment is not kind, even for the young prince who wishes he was anybody else. Tied to the crown, to his family, to his kingdom, there isn't much he can do. He isn't born to bear the crown, to rule over all the creatures of Kadotaru, but it still haunts him. He never thought to break a rule, there was too much fear deep in his heart. He never thought to break any rules, until she was able to see him. Humans. Humans don't have true sight. They aren't seers, or creatures of Kadotaru. So why can she see him? Why does she reach out to help him? And why did he have to break Kadotaru's most sacred rule? ------------------------------------------------------- This novella will include extreme violence. There will be warnings at the beginning of the chapters that include this show of brutality, but do not reach this novella if you do not wish to read horrific scenes.
