Rumor has it, a lonely creature lived in the castle that was against the mountain's mist. The tale goes that no one truly knows the face of the monster that creeps in the shadows. As Agnes Mina travels the famed city of Transylvania, fate brought her to a man called Balthazar Morgan who knew more about the tales of the town than most of the old locals did.

Tome of Whitetree: Book of Gideon: Chapter 2
They say the frost came early that year. Whispers of a pale woman wandering the highlands. Of villagers left bloodless in forests and streets. They call her a vampire. A monster. A curse returned from beneath the soil. But curses do not wear smiles, and monsters do not weep when they think themselves alone. I saw her once-only once-and I do not believe she wanted to be what she is. Still, people are dying. Disappearing. And every time we get close to the truth, we find something worse-blood in the alleys, and screams in the mouths of the dead. So we ride again-Sir Gideon Beckett and I. Into frozen woods and poisoned courts. Into crypts beneath manors. Into truths we might not wish to find. The world grows colder. But I carry my quill like a torch. If we are to fall, let it not be into silence. Let it be written.Complete
The Tower Without Love
The villagers whispered about the woman in the cottage by the withered birch trees. They called her Marwen-pale as moonlight, with eyes that seemed to hold storms. None knew the truth: she was a witch, cursed to lose her soul if she ever revealed her powers. So she hid them. Caine, the exiled tyrant king. His eyes were like winter-beautiful, merciless, and empty. The curse upon him was a cruel one: his heart could never love, not even himself. Will they be able to withstand all difficulties or betrayals reigning between them?Complete
The Crimson Veil
Centuries have passed since the first vampires descended upon humanity, shrouding the world in fear and shadow. They walk among mortals with hollow smiles and feigned civility, masking their hunger behind illusions of grace. Yet beneath the façade, they remain predators-merciless, eternal, and bound by a thirst that can never be silenced. Where did vampires really come from? Were they created? A curse? Or have they always lived among mortals, waiting in silence? Lara Aquinelle Vireaux never asked to be part of their world. Born into shadows she does not yet understand, she is thrust into a realm where blood is more than sustenance-it is memory, power, and curse. Haunted by visions, hunted by her own thirst, and bound to a maker she cannot trust, Lara must uncover the truth of her lineage before it consumes her. In a world where loyalty cuts as deep as betrayal, and love can be as dangerous as hunger, Lara will discover that monsters do not always hide in the dark-sometimes, they wear the faces we long to trust. The Crimson Veil is a haunting tale of blood and legacy, desire and deception, where every choice is carved in crimson.

A Love Tale: A Dracula Story
From the shadows of history and the depths of passion, A Love Tale reimagines the timeless world of Bram Stoker's Dracula, weaving together the dark elegance of the 1992 film and the modern intensity of Dracula: A Love Tale (2025). This story is told through the eyes of Mina Murray, her dreams, her fears, her desires. It reveals the journey of a woman caught between the ordinary world and the eternal embrace of her ancient lover, the Prince of Darkness himself. As a devoted fan of vampirism, I have long found inspiration in Dracula, not only as my favourite story and character but as a muse that fuels every word of this tale. In A Love Tale, Mina's story unfolds with unprecedented intimacy, exploring her heart, her longing, and the unyielding power of a love that has waited centuries. To all of us hopeless romantics: may we, too, find a love that would wait 400 years, unshaken, eternal, and worth every heartbeat.Complete
