Extract from prologue
Torn into the sky, staining the ink-spilt horizon, glittered the words:
OLLYNEA ADIA OBISTUS
The letters burned brilliantly, smouldering as Adia choked on her champagne.
----------
Adia's obsession with magic is tested when she is formerly invited to the King's palace. A time in which magic is not just frowned upon but will have your head placed right next to the last person who attempted it.
Dare she continue? Or will her obsession switch to something slightly more...physical?

Flower
"Your Father has chosen your husband. He'll now lift your veil. So behave yourself," she squeezes my shoulder reassuringly. I keep my gaze down as I wait in anticipation, clutching my hands tightly to stop my body from trembling. Mother has always told me that a woman is like a flower ... a delicate flower that needs to be plucked at the ripe age. The beginning of a new journey with a man she has never met...what tale will unfold in the life of Raya? Will she find solace in this marriage or will it bring chaos upon her?

Alicon
"Listen to me, Fay," he says gently, his voice softening as he steps back towards her, placing his hand on her cheek, his touch warm and reassuring. "That is exactly the reason that I have to do this." He looks deeply into her eyes, his own filled with conviction. "Nobody deserves to get hurt for nothing. A life is a life that's meant to be lived, not taken away." The Kingdom of Alicon, often dismissed as a mere myth by most, was a realm steeped in enchantment and mystery. This extraordinary land was divided into Four distinct Kingdoms, each ruled by a King-Brothers who, despite their shared blood, harboured their own ambitions and desires. At the heart stood Fay, Alicon's most formidable Witch. Known far and wide for her unparalleled mastery of the arcane arts, she was not just a protector of her kingdom but also a beacon of hope for her people. As she prepared to plunge into the depths of the looming conflict, Fay steeled herself for the trials ahead. Her heart raced, fueled by a potent mix of determination and dread. Would she be able to protect them? Would the bonds of brotherhood among the kings withstand the storm brewing on the horizon? Fay was about to learn that sometimes, the greatest battles are fought not just with spells and swords, but within the heart itself.Complete
The Rogue King {18+} (Book 2)
[COMPLETED] I was cursed at such a young age, abandoned by my own wolf and the Moon Goddess for something that wasn't in my control. I don't even think having a mate is in the cards for me... ✨🌘✨ I jumped when the final horn sounded, circling the garden before everyone became silent. They all returned to their seats, my father rising from his chair as I stood from my seat along with the other pups. I struggled to breath as we took our position, standing in the centre away from everyone else. My father offered me a reassuring glance though it did nothing to ease my anxiety, all I had to do now was wait. My eyes widened when the moons blue light shined down on me, illuminating my skin as I stared up at the sky in awe. "We thank the moon goddess for the power of her light..." I dropped my gaze back down, my fathers words surrounding us, "...Shall it bathe you and grant you strength, agility, speed like the wolf..." The pups around me began to moan in pain, capturing my attention as I furrowed my brows. Their features were all contorted by an invisible pain that inflicted them but I felt absolutely nothing. My heart raced when their groans of pain became screams but I- I suddenly drop to the ground, a painful throbbing in my head forcing me to the ground. I grip the sides of my head, screaming. I don't know how to explain it but it felt as though my brain was tearing in two, like my head was cracking open. When the pain stopped, I found myself surrounded by wolves, the shifted pups. Looking down at myself, I only see my body, no paws and no fur. I hadn't shifted... ✨🌕✨ Book 2* 'The Wolven King' is the first book and must be read in order to understand this one. ⚠️ WARNING!! This book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+. There are depictions of violence, mature language, sexual behaviour and sexual abuse.Complete

I'm not used to being so close to a man without being hit. The last time I was safe in a man's arms was when I was a kid with my dad. "A'roya," he whispers, admiring my face. "Vincent," I whispered back, playing with the wet hairs on the nape of his neck. "I love you." I must've smiled so damn wide. I put my forehead on his, trying to reel in tears. God, I'm such a crybaby. "I love you too." Vincent sighed confidently. "Oh, I know." I sighed and rolled my eyes. At this point, I'm used to this man. (EDITED TO A READABLE STATE.)
