From childhood, Lydus Bereant was raised to be one thing only: the greatest composer Corastia had ever seen, perhaps with the exception of his own great-grandfather and namesake. But even a life of fame had only brought him into the service of nobility who used his gifts for their amusement and paid little in return. All this changed when he received a royal summons to compose a singular piece of national pride and beauty in the queen's honor. While failure would lead to certain oblivion, success--especially in the king's service--was the closest a composer could come to deity.

Trial and Temptation
Adonis Celts, the notorious monster who'd been rotting in prison for the past decade. Getting an interview with him just weeks before his release would be the story of a lifetime, and well worth the risk. With his hands cuffed and guards right outside the door, nothing could go wrong. Right? • • • "I've already explained I'm not afraid of you Mr. Celts. But it seems like you want me to be?" I retort. He leans forward in the chair, his face just a foot or two away from mine. The light flickers above us and it seems like a sign for me to shut the hell up. "Mmhm right. Well, maybe you have more nerve than sense then hm? Or you just don't scare as easily as the others." His jaw ticks slightly "But I can think of far better ways to get your heart racing. So no honey, fear is the last thing I want from a woman like you."Complete

Blood and Melody
He had lived for centuries in the shadows, feeding on humanity's vitality-but he had never met anyone like her. To be close to humans without revealing his true nature, he became a singer, captivating audiences with his voice and charm. Four years of fame and countless admirers had left him untouched... until the night he saw her. Her presence lit something long dormant within him: a feeling he had never allowed himself to know. But fate was cruel. Bound by family expectations, she faced an arranged marriage she could not escape. Despair swallowed her whole, and in a moment of hopelessness, she took her own life. He could not let her die. With forbidden power, he brought her back-but she would never be the same. Now immortal, she must navigate the darkness of her new existence while the bond between them grows stronger, deeper, and dangerously consuming. In a world of blood, fame, and secrets, love is both their salvation... and their curse.Complete
ASHES AT THE GATE
He left for just a few days, only to return to a nightmare. His wife, Mireya, pregnant with his child and full of light, had been accused, condemned, and hanged at the city gates for loving someone not quite human. Her body, left for the crows, was the message: she was never meant to carry his blood. Grief turned to fury. What followed was fire. He started a war-one that tore through nations, fueled not by politics or power, but by heartbreak. His enemies called him a monster. The world called him a curse. And he would have burned it all... until the prophecy came: "She will return. Not as she was-but as she must be." So he stopped. Vanished. Waiting through centuries, through silence, through sorrow. And now, in a new age where legends are forgotten, he feels it- her soul waking again in a stranger's body. But can he love her without the past? Can she love him without remembering who she was? And will the world let them live, this time? A tale of eternal love, wrath-born war, and a promise that defied time itself.
To Run and Hide
I was foolish and young, and I had gotten myself neck deep into this assasiantion plot, and into this - whatever this was, between myself and Darius. He was a betrothed man, that I knew. He was to marry, and that was that. I could never come between him and his Queen, not when I was no more than some low - bred peasant, good for nothing but service. "I don't love Princess Ophera," Darius began, his voice wavering. I looked up then, and our eyes locked. Navy blue met cerulean in a dance of colour, as beautiful as the rolling waves or the bright blue sky. "I have never wanted this life for myself. Ever since I was younger, all I wanted was - I know this will sound stupid -" A bitter laugh. I leaned forward and gripped his hands in my own, willing curiosity into my face, hoping to comfort him. It seemed to work, for he continued to speak. "I love to play the violin. I wanted to be a world famous violinist, renowned for my art." I smiled at the vulnerability, even as pain tugged through me. How could I be so stupid, to never consider that he might have hobbies of his own? I had not painted since my book was stolen, but that didn't mean I couldn't start up again. "Will you play for me sometime? The violin?" "I will. My Mother loved the violin as well," His gaze turned distant, somber. I squeezed his hands in reassurance, and he smiled slightly. "Tell me about your Mother."Complete![Here With Me [The Ludovicas: Second Generation Book One]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/357995642-256-k780989.jpg)
