In a forgotten dukedom, where shadows cling to ancient walls and whispers of a curse echo through desolate halls, Chante finds herself trapped between a fading legacy and a world teetering on the edge of ruin.
With her father's mind slipping and war ravaging the country, danger looms closer than ever. Beasts stalk the land, and the curse that binds them threatens to consume everything she holds dear. Determined to protect her ailing father, Chante is drawn into a web of intrigue and peril-one that could unravel both her family and the world itself.
As she ventures deeper into the heart of the mystery, she faces an impossible choice: break the curse or watch everything fall to dust. But time is running out, and with each passing day, the weight of destiny grows heavier.
The last petal is falling.

The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

But forever shatters quickly when Abbot abandons him for another, leaving Léandre betrayed, heartbroken, and desperate for vengeance. What begins as a plan to destroy Abbot quickly becomes something far more dangerous. As Léandre delves deeper into the coven's secrets, he discovers he isn't the first Fledgeling to suffer beneath the Count's influence, and he may not be the last. When a group of his fellow Fledgelings become caught in the centre of a growing conspiracy, Léandre finds his priorities shifting from revenge to survival, protection, and uncovering the truth. At the same time, the Caeleste world continues pulling him deeper into its shadows. Ancient bloodlines, hidden histories, and long-buried secrets force him to confront unsettling truths, not only about Abbot, but about himself, and with every revelation, the life he thought he understood begins to unravel. Caught between old wounds and new loyalties, Léandre finds himself still yearning for the one thing immortality failed to provideーsomeone who will choose him and stay. But as the line between victim, monster, and hero begins to blur, he is left facing a question far more terrifying than revenge: if everything he believed about himself was a lie, who is he becoming? ✟ MxM Erotic Romance ✟ Gothic Dark Fantasy ✟ Vampires and Werewolves ✟ Word Count: 132,538 (Ongoing...) ─────────────────────────────────── ✵ Numenverse year:Complete
ALESSIA MY SWEETHEART
BASED ON TRUTHS GIRLS RARELY CONFESS, AND OBSESSIONS DARKER THAN FICTION DARES TO GO. THIS STORY WALKS THE RAZOR'S EDGE BETWEEN DEVOTION AND DESTRUCTION. He found her in the silence. The invisible hours. The version of her nobody else was looking at. She thought she'd finally been chosen. She didn't know she was one of two. Leo doesn't love with his hands. He loves with control: patient, precise, dressed in every word a lonely girl has ever ached to hear. He collects devotion the way other men collect nothing at all. And when Alessia's best friend becomes his next quiet obsession, the two women who trusted each other most start losing themselves to the same man, in the same silence, neither understanding why the other has changed, until the night Alessia finds them together, and everything she believed was hers turns out to have never belonged to her at all. OBSESSION? EVERY PAGE. CONTROL DISGUISED AS CARE? THE WHOLE BOOK. A FRIENDSHIP USED AS A WEAPON? THAT'S THE PART THAT WILL HAUNT YOU. This isn't a romance that heals. It's a hunger that claws under the skin, a devotion that feels intoxicating right up until it turns suffocating. It whispers in the dark: "You were mine before you ever understood what that meant." Dark romance collides with real psychological terror. What Leo does to Alessia and Giulia doesn't only exist in fiction. It's the kind of manipulation that hides behind ordinary phone screens and closed doors, right now, to someone you know. Read if you crave broken girls, dangerous men, possessive obsession, and control that wears the mask of love. But remember: every touch has a price. Every promise hides a trap. And once two women fall into the same man's world, there may not be a way out for either of them. NOT SOFT. NOT SWEET. NOT SAFE. THIS ISN'T A LOVE STORY. IT'S A WARNING, WEARING ONE.

Because she is turning eighteen, which puts her in danger of being sent in the next Offering to the Beast, her father pushes her to marry without love to save herself. However, since Isabelle is poor, and the other four girls that are of age happen to be from very prestigious families, she believes she will be sent by default. This leaves her with one of two choices: give up her freedom and marry without love to save herself, or risk being sent into the depths of the Castle where a monstrous Beast lurks and an unknown fate awaits her.

When a brutal attack leaves Morana alone and on the run, she has no choice but to search for answers, both about herself and about the Dark Lord pursuing her. Her only clue leads her to someone who may have the answers she seeks, but can she trust one who was created by her enemy? Time is running out for everyone and the end of an age approaches. Morana will either rise from the ashes or find herself in a grave beneath them. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements.
