"YOU FOOLISH GIRL, NOT EVEN YOUR STORIES CAN SAVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL THROAT."



Khai killed 1000 girls before he got to her. And he would make sure she would die like the others. His beautiful hands demand blood on them.

Mazeeda would make sure that she'll be the last girl Khai would ever kill. Her beautiful neck will not be touched by a blood-coated blade. She will take her friends place.

If Mazeeda cannot save her own life with trained hands, she will do it with her quick mind and sly mouth. During the night, she weaves stories never told before to Khai; in the morning, she roams the palace to escape. With each tale she tells, the more she realizes these aren't just stories; but something much greater.

Something that Khai is keeping from her, things he does not want to be let out.

Somewhere a 1000 miles across the sand kept land, three brothers are plotting something that'll end the reign of the monster and save their sister.

Things are getting worse, that's for sure" a red head spirit said. He simply shook his head as he watched shit go down.

Come back here!" was the distant yells of a white haired demon. "Coming Sire!" he said. Standing up, the male gave one last look.

When the king of Andorra suddenly dies, Mias eldest brother, Luke, is forced into the position of king. Mia was one step closer to the throne than she'd ever liked, and that began her freedom streak, including parties and concerts. It sent the royal guards crazy, so many of them had quit. Her brother hired an American guard, one that was not on the royal payroll, but soon to be, to protect his sister. They were civil, until one night ruined it all, forcing them into the most poisonous hatred for each other. Despite this, he'd do anything to protect her, and she'd do anything to defend him. He was harsh and she was stubborn. Would either of them come to love one another? Or would the disagreements drive them insane? -- 'Theo will be here shortly.' My brother spoke softly. 'Theo?' I asked, my heart speeding up. He'd never mentioned anything about a visitor. 'Your new bodyguard. I thought you could use taming.' He responded, not even looking up from his newspaper. 'Isn't he a royal guard?' I frowned. 'No, none of them could keep up with you. Hes American.' -- ⚠️will include sexual content, swearing, sensitive subjects. Not intended for those under 16. I own all characters and storylines, the information about the royals may not be all true, as some will change to fit my story. Thank you :) enjoy.

[[ The first book of the rewrite is out~ Check it out on my page! ]] Cairo is a desert country dominated by fire magic. The Government is considered corrupt, the people are unhappy, and a rebellion is stirring in the depths that's set on shaking the country to its core. Living with the citizens are creatures called Kleptos--card spirits who control powerful magic. Among them is the Fire Kleptos, Aerie. Her Pyrroh is the Fire Mage, Cairo, the boy genius named after the country. Tagging along with them is their adventure-seeking friend, Cane. Aerie can't remember her past. There's something about her that's different, and if there's one thing for sure, it's that she's no ordinary Kleptos. Cane wants truth and justice to prevail. The first step is getting through to the Government, but it's torn apart just like the country. Cairo is helping Aerie gain her memories. While he travels around the country in search of clues, he's thrown right into the middle of all the trouble. But Aerie might just be the key to something much larger than anyone could have imagined. As Cairo continues to search for her memories, a past full of secrets is brought to life that might just change the course of history.

In a world where the dead linger, one girl holds the key to helping them cross over. But Rose's quiet life is shattered when four mysterious brothers arrive with a dark secret. As tensions rise and some ghosts prove more dangerous than others, the brothers only want to keep her safe. Can she trust them, or will the secrets between them be her undoing? And will she ever be able to break through their masks? **COMPLETE** My death notebook was out. I surreptitiously slid it into my backpack. He offered me the cards. "Pick a game, Rose?" "Um." They looked at me. "How about cheat?" "Never heard of it," Alexander said, collapsing to sit on the floor with his back to my bed. Gabriel sat cross-legged. "Show us," he said. I knelt to complete the circle, taking out the cards and shuffling them. Alexander snorted and snatched the cards out of my hands to shuffle them himself. "I got it, drunk girl." "I am not," I said, tugging on the cards. My fingers tangled with his. He let them go. I distributed the cards among us, my hair swinging as I leaned forward to give them their share. I tucked it behind my ears. They watched me quietly. I could hear the party outside my room, a muffled shouting beat, but we were safe in my room.
