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.

𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒅☑𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒚&𝒕𝒉𝒆𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕 "𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕?" After being trapped in the cursed town of Du Ciel for seven years, Isabelle's life was only going to get worse. 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.

The Cursed Prince by 00reader6002

In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?

ALESSIA MY SWEETHEART by NoelInk_07

BASED ON TRUTHS GIRLS RARELY CONFESS AND DRAWN FROM OBSESSIONS DARKER THAN FICTION, THIS STORY WALKS THE RAZOR'S EDGE BETWEEN DESIRE AND DESTRUCTION. He's too old. too dangerous. too obsessed. but he found her. and he's never letting go. alessia has lived in silence - quiet, invisible, forgotten. until leo. he sees her. wants her. owns her. He watched her sleep. Tracked her online. Erased anyone who got too close. Now he's in her life, and he doesn't care if it's wrong. Sometimes he dreams of her moaning his name... before she's even kissed him. Age gap? YESSSS. Obsession? YESSS. Consent? Slippery. This isn't romance that heals. It's hunger that claws under your skin, a love that feels intoxicating until it turns suffocating. It whispers in the dark: "You were mine before you ever looked at me." Dark romance collides with psychological terror. What Leo does to Alessia doesn't only exist in fiction - it's the kind of manipulation and control that hides behind closed doors in real life. Read if you crave broken girls, dangerous men, possessive obsession, emotional ruin, and control disguised as care. But remember: every touch has a price. Every promise hides a trap. And once you fall into his world, there is no way back. Not soft. Not sweet. Not safe. This isn't a love story. It's a mind game. 🖤 New chapters every Monday 🖤

A crown of Secrets and Fire by MaryRose_Author

I grew up safe, protected, adored, certain of the life that awaited me. A grand estate, a devoted father... a wedding to the perfect man. But the altar crumbled beneath me, my world ripped apart in a heartbeat. The silk turned to ruin, vows to ash, and in one heartbeat, everything I knew was gone. I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim. He doesn't ask for my trust, he takes it, drags me into a world of lies, bold betrayals, and secrets I wasn't prepared to see. And the truth? I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems. And the man in the shadows... he is the storm I can't outrun. ⚠️ 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.

Graveborn: Whispers In Blood by Niky200328

A Gothic Fantasy Romance Buried in a graveyard. Raised among whispers. Marked by monsters. Morrin Blackthorn was just the apothecary's daughter-until death came knocking. When a cursed knight crashes into her world and a mysterious monster hunter with a tragic past darkens her doorstep, Morrin is swept into a realm of twisted magic, forgotten gods, and creatures born of nightmare. Haunted by ghosts-both literal and not-she must navigate betrayal, bloodlust, and the slow unraveling of everything she thought she knew about life and death. Torn between two men bound to darkness, Morrin's power begins to awaken... a gift-or curse-tied to the Hollowborn, an ancient evil threatening to break free. As her body breaks, her soul reshapes. Her humanity fades. And something older, something bound to bone and ash, begins to rise within her. Will she surrender to the King of the Hollowborn to save those she loves? Or will she burn the world to keep her freedom? In a world where monsters are made, not born, and love cuts deeper than any blade, Morrin must decide: become death's queen... or be its next victim. Dark. Lush. Romantic. Graveborn: Whispers in Blood is the first installment in a gothic fantasy saga filled with deadly magic, slow-burn romance, soul-binding sacrifice, and heroines who rise from the grave stronger than ever.
