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.

Spinning Scarlett
Scarlett has the ability to see everybody's fated red strings, the ones that connect each and every person to their soulmate. She lives her life in the spotlight, praised by the public for her beauty - but despite having it all, she yearns for the only thing she will never possess: Love. Being granted this strange ability since the moment of her birth, she has made it her lifelong mission to guide soulmates together - discreetly- of course. However, this gift may as well be a curse, as among the sea of wonderful vibrant red that has become her life, she is the only one who does not possess a string of any sort. Scarlett has long since accepted the fact that she will never know what it feels to love, or be loved, for that matter. But that all changes one day when she meets a peculiar boy. Not only has she never seen him before - and trust her, she knows just about everyone at the castle - they share a similarity she never believed was possible: A missing thread.Concluída
CelestSpere

But her peaceful solitude is a carefully orchestrated illusion. One night, she wakes up to three mysterious intruders, led by the intensely protective Syion. They reveal her secret haven was actually a doorway to a parallel dimension called Celestspere. This dimension is a pure, secret refuge for the innocent souls abandoned by a dying, evil Earth. Now, Scarlett isn't just a runaway. 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?Concluída
His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

"It's not even a marriage." He moved like a storm, pinning her to the wall with just his presence. "You're right," he murmured, fingers trailing up her waist. "This isn't love. This is power. Surrender. The kind that burns through your spine and brands your soul." "You think you own me?" she asked, breathless. He leaned in, his voice a command disguised as a whisper. "I do. But what haunts you most... is that some twisted part of you wants me to." --- A dark romance where vows are weapons, love is a risk, and trust could be fatal.Concluída
