They danced for a couple of minutes, although it felt like an hour. To Ariadne the place felt empty and she floating on air. No one had made her feel like this before, not even her beloved brother. When their dance ended and the two of them gazed at each other, Ariadne opened her mouth to speak.
‘Sir, you have yet to tell me your name,’ she said with a smile.
He returned her smile, ‘my name… is Visarmore.’
The four kingdoms Alwin, Mataya, Dussel and Grosha lived in peace until Ariadne dreamt of dancing with a man who would be a problem from them all. Her pride and arrogance makes her determined to disregard the truth and continue with her normal life; but her secret only makes her weaker and feeble. Whilst her dreams are shrouded with dark memories, others face their own problems in the other kingdoms. They find themselves balancing on a knife edge as they try to face the obstacles in their path. No one knew that a single dance with death could raise the most feared man in all of Casidia, Visarmore.

Tangled in Her Shadow (gxg)
Aira Valencia Alvarez never asked for this life. She only wanted to study, laugh with her siblings, and dream like every other girl her age. But fate was cruel. The day her mother collapsed and got confined to the hospital with a brain tumor, everything changed. With her father long gone, Aira carried the world on her shoulders-three jobs, sleepless nights, and the heavy duty of keeping her family alive. School became a memory, a childhood luxury she could no longer afford. Her life was ordinary... until the night she unknowingly caught her eyes. Lilith evelynn Montclair-an heiress wrapped in silk and secrets, a woman everyone adored. She was elegance, perfection, the kind of goddess people bowed their heads to. Soft-spoken, angelic, untouchable. The world saw a woman who could never hurt even an insect. But at the masquerade party, where everyone sparkled in masks and diamonds, Lilith's gaze wandered-and lingered. It wasn't the gowns, the jewels, or the laughter that held her attention. It was a single waitress in a plain mask, moving through the crowd with tired hands and quiet strength. Lilith didn't know her name. She didn't even see her face. But there was something in her presence, something in the way her eyes carried exhaustion yet refused to break, that stirred a strange curiosity within the flawless heiress. For Aira, it was just another night of work. For Lilith... it was the beginning of questions she couldn't ignore.Complete

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete
