Moon Blessed
For three-hundred years, the five kingdoms in the land of Damir have lived at peace with one another, but tensions are rising once more. Rumors abound that an ambitious Emperor seeks to conquer the entire land and claim it for his own. Desperate to prevent this plot from coming to light, the King and Queen of Nyctoli arrange a tournament in the hopes of uniting the five kingdoms under a different goal: winning the hand of their daughter, Princess Nastasia. Being the first Moon Blessed in centuries is a gift, but also a curse. All her life, Nastasia has been treated as a precious treasure meant to be hidden and guarded, for every Moon Blessed before her led a life leading to martyrdom, and many are afraid that her fate will be the same. Now, Nastasia has gone from being a treasure to a prize. That isn't something she can quietly accept. An air of danger looms and Nastasia is determined to forge her own path before she is forced down the same one her predecessors trod. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, depression, gore, PTSD, and other topics which some might find triggering.

Radiance Unbound
Once worshiped as a living saint, Serenya of the Radiant Temple was raised to believe her glow was divinity itself. But when her first taste of power erupts in blood and fire, she learns the truth: she is not a vessel of holiness, but a witch-an elemental force the priests have bound, controlled, and lied to for years. Hunted through a city that now calls her a monster, Serenya finds herself chained not by faith, but by desire. Her only ally is Kaelen, a ruthless mercenary whose touch ignites both fury and forbidden hunger. He offers her no salvation-only a dangerous choice: embrace the wildfire inside her, or let it consume her. But Serenya is not the only one. There are others-sisters she has never known, bound by blood, scattered across the world. To find them, she must first survive Malrik, the High Inquisitor, whose fanatical hunt for witches has already stained the streets with their corpses. Darkly sensual, violent, and unflinchingly erotic, Radiance Unbound is the first chapter of The Daughters of Desire and Doom-an epic fantasy romance saga of raw power, wicked temptation, and a family of witches destined to burn the world or save it.

The Advent of the Phoenix [Dragon Age Inquisition Fanfiction]
When attacked and taken prisoner on a mission, a battlemage discovers she's part of a barbarian prophecy and the Thane is determined to make sure she fulfills it. When Knight-Enchanter Evelyn Trevelyan is ambushed by Avvar barbarians during a mission in the Frostback Basin, she becomes the most wanted mage in Thedas. When she is taken in by one of the Avvar Holds, things become even more complicated as they believe she is the woman prophesied to save the Avvar from extinction. Unwilling to let their savior go, the Thane of Redhold holds her prisoner while the other Avvar Holds seek to capture her. As her status as a mage outside the Circle of Magi brands her an apostate, she can neither go back home nor can she simply accept this new life that was thrust upon her. This is a tale laden with magic, spirits, gods, and demons based on the Dragon Age Avvar culture. In the midst of it all is a complicated enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance. NO KNOWLEDGE OF DRAGON AGE IS NEEDED to enjoy, though if you have it, it only makes it more fun! Warnings: Sexual content, blood, gore, assault, and trauma.

Some souls are cursed to meet again... even if it breaks them every time. Aaranya never believed in past lives. Not until she stepped into a place no human should reach - a glowing chamber of memory and fire called the Soulforge, hidden between time and afterlife. There, she meets Aarav - calm, distant, devastatingly familiar - the Soulkeeper. He's not a god, not a ghost. He's something worse: a man who remembers every soul he's ever failed to save. And when he looks at her... he sees the girl he lost lifetimes ago - the girl who begged the heavens to take her instead. The one whose love he never earned - and whose death still haunts him like flame. But Aaranya doesn't remember. Not the promises. Not the pain. Not him. Yet something inside her stirs - a thread, trembling beneath her skin. And soon, echoes from her past lives begin slipping into her world - in dreams, in symbols, in her very reflection. Now, as fate pulls them together again, Aarav must decide: Will he let her soul awaken on its own... Or break every divine law to remind her of a love that once defied even death? Because this time, the gods are watching. And not all of them want her to remember. A story of soul-deep love, forgotten lifetimes, and the divine ache of meeting someone you've loved in every world but this one.
