In the background of contemporary New York City, there exists a world beyond this world. This is a world where magical creatures exist, where the true powers behind the thrones manipulate world governments to their own liking. This is a world as enchanting as it is terrifying, ruled by greed, vanity, vengeance, and the most basic human emotions.
Welcome to The Shadow Kingdom.
***********************************
Scarlett Whitmore is an unassuming, eighteen-year-old college student. Everything about her life is decidedly mundane except for one aspect - she has the supernatural ability to control ice and water. She has lived in secret with this ability her entire life, unaware of its origins or meaning.
All that changes the day that she meets Adrian Shang. He is tall, dark, handsome, and like her - supernatural. He introduces her to an entire civilization of supernatural beings, living secretly yet in plain sight all around us. Forces from all across the Shadow Kingdom conspire to utilize Scarlett for their own selfish gains, and Scarlett is plunged into a world of conspiracy and political intrigue.
Forces of love, hatred, honour, pettiness, virtue, and vice all collide, bringing the mysterious Shadow Kingdom to light.

Our Silent Vows
She was mine long before she knew it. I had been raised in shadows, in a world where power was survival and choice was an illusion. But then there was her. She slipped into my life unexpectedly and defiantly, her eyes too bright for a town like this one. She was unafraid of what lay beneath the surface, thinking she could walk away and resist the pull. But every step she took only bound her tighter to me. She was delicate but stubborn, fierce enough to face what others ran from, even if she didn't fully see it yet. She was the only thing I had ever chosen. I would break anything to keep her, everything, even her illusions of freedom. Because in a world that offered no choices, she became my one certainty. I will carve that truth into the world, with blood, if I have to. R.

Till death do us part
Scarlett Petrova has always dreamed of freedom-of a life she chooses, of a love that ignites her soul. At twenty-four, she never imagined her world would be ripped from her hands, replaced with a life she didn't want, with a man she was raised to fear. Roman Volkov, twenty-eight, ruthless, untouchable, and dangerous, is everything she's been warned against-and now, everything she's forced to live with. Their marriage is a contract, a trap designed to control, to bend her to a world of power, violence, and loyalty she doesn't understand. Hatred should come easy. Fear should keep her safe. And yet, in the shadows of Roman's touch, desire flickers, raw and undeniable. Love was never meant to exist here. But neither was the pull between them. As betrayal, secrets, and danger close in from every side, Scarlett must fight for her independence, her heart, and the chance at a love that isn't tainted by duty or fear. In a world where trust is a weapon, and passion is a risk that could kill, can she survive-and will she ever find the freedom and love she's always longed for? BOOK ONE THE "CHAOS" SERIESConcluida

She tried to resist him, to escape, to live a life beyond his control-but every attempt only drew her deeper into his shadow. Adrian is ruthless, cunning, and lethal, yet he has one soft spot: Liora. His dark world of mafia wars, betrayals, and bloodshed is tempered only by his fixation on her.

Through deadly parties, gunfights, and high-stakes battles against rival mafias, Liora learns to fight back-both literally and emotionally. She challenges him, teases him, and even finds small victories of her own, but Adrian's dark charm and relentless possessiveness make her heart ache and race at the same time.

She is a newly-awakened Weilder with latent powers, a destiny to join the S.E.I.L. training team (Saving Earth's Innocent Lives), and a soul-deep connection to the guarded Syion, who claims he was just doing his job watching her. The survivor must become the savior. But how can she save Earth's lost when she's still fighting to open her own heart to a love and a purpose she never knew she deserved?Concluida
