The promise of death is one hell of a motivator.
---
Ten years awaiting execution was more than enough time for Nnandi's fury to fester. Deemed a weak link in her coven's proud, strong history, she and the others like her sat and withered behind the high walls of the Ariete Citadel. Every full moon bringing them closer and closer to their sacrifice.
The Lalin San, a holy day for the Ariete Coven. A nightmare for the Ram who would be slaughtered.
Out of time and options, Nnandi and Sarai, another Ram destined to die, are determined to escape their fate. The city of Margo Bay lies just beyond the wall, and with it, the possibility of true freedom.
And darkness beyond all their imagination.

The Witches on BellaRow Street
Four African-American witches on the run from a Warlock detective, a jilted lover, and a ridiculous super clingy cat named Mister Purr. *** It's Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans, and instead of celebrating with deep-fried beignets and dancing, Yanni finds herself in a dark alley with her three 'sisters'-staring down at a lifeless body. Shocked and scared, they realize something's off about this death. The body is twisted in a way that's not normal, and Yanni can't shake the feeling that dark magic is involved. With one sister panicking, another making sarcastic comments, and the eldest sister, Aunt BeeBee, trying to stay calm, Yanni's life takes a turn she never expected. The dead man's identity remains a mystery, and the sisters know one thing for sure: they can't let anyone find out. The four of them are witches, each representing one of the four elements, bound by magic and a sisterhood. But when it comes to covering up a murder, will they stick together or fall apart? Yanni's got a big decision to make. Will she go along with Aunt BeeBee's plan to cover it up, or will she risk everything to do what's right? With Mardi Gras chaos swirling around them, the sisters' bond is tested as they navigate dark magic, secrets, and their own fears. One thing's for sure-nothing in New Orleans will ever be the same.

SEARHEART: AURORA [English]
[𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍] ✦ 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐈 ✦ High above the mortal world, where the Tateaori Monastery clings to the jagged cliffs like a relic of a forgotten age, a lone figure stands at the crossroads of destiny and doubt. Rin, a gifted but guarded warrior, has spent her life mastering the ancient ways of combat under the cold, watchful gaze of her mentor, Tao Luoyang. Among the stone walls and sacred chants, she has forged herself into a blade, sharp and unyielding-but to what end? The winds of fate stir uneasily. Whispers of the Dancing Phoenix-a symbol of both power and sacrifice-draw closer, entwining Rin's fate with the ancient prophecy she doubts yet cannot escape. When the world beyond the monastery's gates beckons with its alluring dangers, Rin must step into a realm of shadowed truths, where fire burns not just to illuminate but to consume. The path before her is treacherous, and every choice burns with consequence. To rise as the Phoenix means not only to wield its legendary power but to sacrifice everything she thought she knew about herself-and when Rin battles to uncover the truth buried in the ashes of her past, she finds herself standing at the precipice of a legacy she never dreamed about. ✦✦✦ Cover designed by @Varllai (Author)Complete

The Queen Of Nightmares
Her sun; her moon. When Vampires have taken over the world, all looks grim for the humans. Their world as they know it has been conquered by these blood sucking demons. However, the war was centuries ago. Since then, more than just Humans have been plotting to take down the dominant Vampire's and their reign. Queen Artemis of the Vampires sees the ever growing threats of the Werewolves and other kingdoms as trouble yet she can't do anything about the other kingdoms until she either quietens and or quells the Humans' rebellion within her own kingdom. Known as The Queen Of Nightmares from her brutal and fierce presence on the battle field, and her reign as Queen over the Vampires, everyone would usually rather kill on sight than negotiate peace. Soleil just wants to get through her life in this ever changing world. But that's a bit hard when Vampire's rule it; plucked from her town by demons called Vampire's she expects to be a blood slave. Nonetheless, a mysterious turn of events brings all she thought she knew crashing down as the world rewrites its own history. But what happens when the Queen takes a liking to her? Are things starting to change for the better? Her sun; her moon. This story will change from 1st person to 3rd and or back. This is also my first story about Vampire's and lesbian (plus soulmates) so it will most likely be cringy and stupid. I'm open to comments for improvement. But I hope you enjoy! #1 Bloodslave 06.05.25
THE CURSE - A Whispering Fiend
"How is it possible? A feral beast, dangerous than mine, lived under her skin. Her eyes- they were hollow and bleeding, yet she didn't scream her pain. The job was to never fall in love with her but to kill her." ~ Ocean "He is a pillar, something solid to lean against. Fierce, violent and unmoving, ready to fight for me when everybody I loved left me in the darkness. He told me not to apologize for the madness I possess, because it made me a warrior." ~Devi He loved her and she loved him but it wasn't that simple. The world didn't approve of their union even when the fates sew their souls together. She was a princess turned into the bringer of death and he was a prince protecting the world from her. She was the woman who regrets her birth, and he was the man born for her. [UPDATING SCHEDULE- Thursdays.]
The True Luna : Reborn
---- 🐺 The True Luna: Reborn > I was born under a blood moon, into a name that carried weight - whispered through generations like prophecy. Moon. Sacred. Feared. Expected to rise. But the wolf inside me never woke. No shift. No howl. Just silence... and shame. When the mate bond snapped into place, I felt hope bloom - sharp, trembling, dangerous. Then he looked at me. And chose someone else. Not because I was unworthy... But because I terrified him. I left it all behind. The pack. The promise. The broken destiny. I buried the girl they wanted and became something else. A shadow in the human world. A woman with ink-stained fingers and secrets in her eyes. I don't need a mate. I don't crave power. But darkness... darkness has always known my name. Then he appeared. Prince Damien Knight Walker. Lycan royalty. A predator cloaked in silk and war. He touched me with his eyes first - like he was peeling back my skin. He says I belong to him. But I am not his to tame. There's something dangerous inside me now. Something ancient. Hungry. Awake. Let the kingdoms tremble. I'm Arielle Moon. And I wasn't reborn to be someone's Luna. I was reborn to burn thrones. ---Complete
