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.

Darkness and the light DO NOT mix. But what if they did? What kind of precipitate would result from such a union? "He and I, are polar opposites. I am short-tempered, while he does his best to tame his anger. He is a killer, a destroyer of life, a blood thirsty human, who ensures to execute his revenge upon those who betray him, while I completely detest death, and anything that is related to it. They say it is rather difficult to change one's own behaviour. So, how can I play the role of redeemer in someone else's life? How do I pull him out of his lifestyle, when he's already in too deep? Two choices; accept him or leave..." She was accidentally inseminated, resulting in her crossing paths with him. But the real question is, would she be able to survive the mafia world?

Bound by Blood and Vowss
When Scarlett Moretti is forced into a contract marriage with cold-blooded mafia heir Lorenzo De Rossi to settle her family's debts, she becomes a pawn in a deadly game of power and secrets. Trapped in a loveless union and surrounded by danger, Scarlett must navigate the dark underworld of crime, betrayal, and temptation-while fighting the pull of a man who might be her worst enemy or her only salvation. --- "Was last night just your way of silencing the screams-the blood?" Lorenzo's voice was velvet and fire. "No, it was me reminding you... you don't get to stand on the sidelines anymore. You're mine-in body, in loyalty, in blood." "This isn't love," she whispered. "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.Lengkap

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.

Kidnapped to love
The cool night air stung her cheeks as she stumbled through the deserted alley, her heart racing with panic. The echoes of her footsteps bounced off the walls, but no matter how fast she ran, the shadows behind her seemed to close in. "Keep running, doll" a low, sinister voice called out from the darkness, sending a shiver down her spine. "You can't escape me." She halted, her breath ragged, fear rooting her in place. Her mind screamed at her to keep going, but her legs wouldn't move. And then she saw him-emerging from the shadows, his tall frame dominating the space, his cold eyes locked onto hers. "W-Why are you doing this?" she stammered, backing away slowly, her body trembling. His lips curved into a dark, amused smile. "Because you're mine, doll" His voice was calm, terrifyingly so. "And no one takes what belongs to me." Crystal is a 20-year-old, breathtakingly beautiful college student with a bright future ahead of her. Innocent, determined, and full of life, she never expected her world to be torn apart by a man like Dimitri. Dimitri Volkov is 26, a dangerously powerful mafia boss who controls everything in his path. Cold, ruthless, and obsessed, he's used to getting what he wants-no matter the cost. And now, what he wants is Crystal. Two worlds collide in a twisted game of power, fear, and obsession. Starting: 22 Oct , 2024 End : 31 Oct , 2024Lengkap

Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes.

Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
