In 1826, in the country of Lwendolen, the elite Quad family stands as the upper crust and cream of society. The daughter, Valerie, is engaged to a man with a name attached to success and fortune, but her older brother Henry is mentally unstable and a failure and that is unacceptable to their father.

Valerie's fiance seems like a charming man but behind that mask is another man who only cares about himself and the Quad fortune. What role will he play in the Quad family's life?

On top of that, something else is working behind the scenes here. In the middle of the winter, the Quads' hidden past will soon be unearthed through murder and deceit, staining the snow crimson.

~There is no success without failure, but a Failure will never succeed.~

(Dark human drama and satire. Omniscient lit-fic.)

Trigger Warning: there are scenes of domestic violence, physical abuse, opium addiction, depression, and lots of murders. I won't turn you away, but you have been warned. There is ZERO smut.

(Editing Finished: Dec. 31, 2019)

No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.

Power is all that matters in this world, those who are starved of it are at the bottom of the hierarchy, but then there are those who bathe in it. Being born with a golden spoon in her mouth, Valeria has been accustomed to having people at her feet. When certain events intervene with her trust in her family, Valeria begins to notice things the press failed to. As more and more clues emerge from the shadows, as more people become apart of this mess, Valeria makes it her mission to get to the bottom of all the lies she's grew up with. Secrets. Deception. Illusions. Would Valeria be able to push past the truth that her family was feeding her or will she herself take down anyone who gets in her way? -------------------------- This is book 1 in the SERPENTS' series.This book contains extreme themes that may not be suitable for specific audiences, I've warned you. The love interest is violent, and the stereotypical Made Man, meaning this book will have non-consensual relationships, where the male lead is quite literally the incarnation of the devil himself.

Leandra Sienna Macheras is the daughter of the city's Godfather, the leader of the most powerful mob family in town. But her world is shaken as a new criminal organization, known as The Hydra, rises to challenge her family's dominance. Headed by five men who quickly rose in the underground ranks, The Hydra is determined to dismantle the Macheras' empire and rebuild the city under their rule. What they don't expect is the undeniable pull of Sienna, whose allure becomes a weapon none of them can resist. As Sienna begins to see the dark truth behind her father's regime and confronts the desires she's long suppressed, she and her friends switch sides-teaming up with The Hydra to overthrow the old guard. Together, they set out to remake the city's criminal underworld... and enjoy every dangerous, thrilling moment of it. This is mainly a reverse harem, but it's not the sole focus.
