Where there are humans, there are also Darklings. Then, in the vines of fate and poisoned blood, there are the Forsaken.
Dawn Colchester is a lonely, tormented girl who lives in the sleepy town of Coldlake. Tormented for the strange marks on her face and still suffering from the loss of her mother, Dawn doesn't believe that she has much else to live for other than her father, and certainly believes she has nothing to lose.
However, on a cold November evening after a short shopping trip, Dawn’s world is turned upside down in a rollercoaster of events. Thrown into the world of the Lathairs, a family of Darklings and the very thing she should fear, Dawn is thrust into a life of royal extravagance and desire, yet remains isolated from everything she longs to understand.
Unnaturally drawn to the oldest royal daughter, Princess Camryn, as well as igniting a lust in more than one male Darkling, Dawn is about to embark on a journey of love, hate and unthinkable friendship, but at what price?

Saltblood and Silence
Four years after the storm. Queen Emma Swan rules a fragile Enchanted Forest rebuilt from ashes-but she rules alone. The Pirate Queen who saved her vanished into the mist without a word. In her place come emissaries: eleven powerful figures from fallen kingdoms, all loyal to a ghost. Each brings their own resources, secrets, and debts-answering not to Emma, but to Regina. While Emma navigates a world shaped by someone else's empire, the Ravager sails on. Far across the seas, a stowaway child-Rag-sneaks aboard one of Regina's shadow ships, dreaming of freedom and pirate glory. Instead, Rag is broken down, beaten, and forged in salt and labor under the brutal hands of the crew. What begins as punishment becomes survival, and what survives begins to learn. As whispers rise of assassinations among the emissaries, Emma digs deeper into the Queen's web. She uncovers a hidden empire built over thirty-five years: former prisoners, now nobles and ministers. Survivors of Regina's ship, released with new names and silent vows. She was not the first. And she may not be the last. When one of the emissaries is murdered, the tides shift. The Ravager returns to Hollowdeep, an underwater fortress carved in silence and magic. And the Pirate Queen rises again-cursed, burning, and merciless. Old wounds open. Loyalties crack. Emma must face the truth: the empire Regina built might be the only thing keeping their world from collapsing. But can she forgive the woman who made her a weapon? Can she lead beside her, or must she defy her? And somewhere in the fog, the stowaway watches it all-still nameless, still unknown-waiting for a place to belong.
