Mature Story for 18+ | violence | abuse | sex | language. Warning: Mature Content | 18+ In the kingdom of Illumina, ruled by an emperor whose heart is as cursed as his hands are bloodied, betrayal festers in every shadow, and the line between loyalty and ambition is razor-thin. Ariana, reborn from her own tragic past, wakes with an explosive gift of magic and an iron will for revenge. In her former life, she was a pawn-tortured by her vengeful father, ignored by her ambitious half-brother, and dismissed as a mere noble's daughter. But now, as she relives her life from her seventeenth year, Ariana is determined to protect those she lost, take back her power. With beauty as striking as her hidden strength, Ariana is bound to cross paths with men as alluring as they are dangerous. A powerful crown prince with a heart trapped in shadows, an imprisoned sorcerer hiding dark secrets, a ruthless commander forced to fight, and a foreign prince with eyes set on vengeance. As each man pulls her into his world of intrigue and desire, Ariana must decide who she can trust-and who will betray her when her heart is on the line. A story of revenge, romance, and magic, this is a seductive tale where trust is a luxury, love is a weapon, and nothing is as it seems.

[2024 Amby Awards winner] For as long as he can remember, Caldor has been forced to live a life of crime. With a group of his fellow thieves, they've stolen from practically all of the wealthier citizens of Redreach over the years. They have a system of how to go about their business, and it works. Until one day when it doesn't. Captured by guards and dragged off into the dungeons, Cal expects to be executed. What other fate could await a lifelong thief? But instead he is given an offer: his life will be spared if he steals a specific book. The catch? The owner of said book is a dragon. Caldor ends up accepting, having little choice, but he doesn't believe he will succeed. What Cal assumes will be his death turns out very differently, however, when he actually meets the dragon-a surprisingly human-looking and handsome creature called Idriseth-and very quickly becomes enamored with him. Cal may have come to steal the dragon's book, but now he wants to steal his heart. But will the always guarded Idriseth let him? Can a dragon even love a human? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 40 000 words] ★ Featured on @Romance ★ • Book 1 - The Thief's Dragon • Book 2 - The Thief's Mate • Book 3 - The Thief's Choice • Book 4 - The Thief's Bargain • Book 5 - The Thief's Half-Dragon • Book 6 - The Thief's LoversLengkap
