Nobles and peasants alike fall victim to an assassin nicknamed the Crow.
Princess Raine struggles to search for answers to the mysterious assassin. In her kingdom's time of weakness and fear, her father plans to marry her to a wealthy prince, who wants nothing more than a pretty doll to follow him.
But on a quiet night in the depths of the kingdom, she discovers herself on the edge of revealing the secret of the Crow.
Instead, Raine finds Grey, a handsome thief, and Lukas, a rebellious detective.
She finds both of them hanging by their ankles... over a pit of fire.
Chaos, desperation, hate, and betrayal... but could romance bloom among the agony?

A hooded figure, the hooded figure, stood on the window sill. I didn't even hear him open it. I gasped and stumbled backward, trying to find something to throw at him. I throw a book, but he swipes it away and presses on. I crumple on the floor, trying to get my bearings. Then, I reach under the bed and fumble for my satchel. Once again, I wield my knife then point it at the hooded figure.
"Greetings, Princess Raine." The figure cooed. The voice was male and familiar. He offered his gloved hand. "Would you like to come away with me?"
Wait.
Did he...
Did the Crow just...
Ask me on a date?

Dahlia of Gold
Lykalis has a new obsession: a bewitching man carrying secrets stained in blood. But is he worth less than the safety of her kingdom? Or is he worth more than she could ever imagine? ***** The King and Queen have been murdered and eighteen-year-old Heiress Lykalis Vasoraki is to take her Aunt's title and be crowned in the palace of Kolteo, where people with the wings of crows and ravens dwell. Before her coronation ceremony can ensue, she pursues the killer and finds herself on a grueling path to the Kingdom of Sidiem, a territory of wolves and foxes. There, she bears witness to a brutal death, and a Royal investigation transpires. She teams up with the Heir of Sidiem and finds a list of evidence that consequently leads them to a jewelry company, one which hides something terribly sinister. An alluring man with mismatched eyes catches Lykalis's attention and she finds herself entwined with the fate of a broken man who knows more about killing then he does about living. ***** Excerpt: "Don't lie to me." She sneered, smacking her hand against the floor. "Don't lie-" His eyes snapped to her as anger flashed between them. "You were like starlight, like-like the constellations had fallen together in order to create you, as if you were personally molded by the gods themselves." He pressed. "Your spirit glowed like the only light across a sea of barren land- you. . .you're spirit was the only one that felt like. . ." ***** [ word count: 160,000~170,000 ] [ Book 1 of the Crown of Dahlia Trilogy ]Concluida

Before I realize what he is doing, he slides the blade down my left arm, cutting through the beautiful blue fabric. I grind my teeth together to keep an even face. This is a demonstration of power.

To Run and Hide
I was foolish and young, and I had gotten myself neck deep into this assasiantion plot, and into this - whatever this was, between myself and Darius. He was a betrothed man, that I knew. He was to marry, and that was that. I could never come between him and his Queen, not when I was no more than some low - bred peasant, good for nothing but service. "I don't love Princess Ophera," Darius began, his voice wavering. I looked up then, and our eyes locked. Navy blue met cerulean in a dance of colour, as beautiful as the rolling waves or the bright blue sky. "I have never wanted this life for myself. Ever since I was younger, all I wanted was - I know this will sound stupid -" A bitter laugh. I leaned forward and gripped his hands in my own, willing curiosity into my face, hoping to comfort him. It seemed to work, for he continued to speak. "I love to play the violin. I wanted to be a world famous violinist, renowned for my art." I smiled at the vulnerability, even as pain tugged through me. How could I be so stupid, to never consider that he might have hobbies of his own? I had not painted since my book was stolen, but that didn't mean I couldn't start up again. "Will you play for me sometime? The violin?" "I will. My Mother loved the violin as well," His gaze turned distant, somber. I squeezed his hands in reassurance, and he smiled slightly. "Tell me about your Mother."Concluida

Unfortunately, her destiny is quickly approaching. Her father is dead, and her mother has only a couple of months to live according to doctors.

Wanting to learn more about her kingdom, and the people of it, before she is forced into an arranged marriage and the throne for the rest of her life, Adellia ventures out into the kingdom to do just that. While there, Adellia meets a young blacksmith by the name of Faron and gets sucked into a plot that goes against her, and her mother's wishes. Will she be able to venture into the unknown, and survive out of the watchful eye of the palace? This book has sexual reference and mentions of things that could possibly be triggering to some - e.g. young motherhood and loss of a parent. This work is usually split into two parts, but I have decided to take down the second part, and consider the first part, one book for now, so I can work on the second. When the second part/book has been finished, I'll decide whether I like it as one book or to reincorporate the rest of the book to make it one. Entered in the Wattys(2020)!Concluida
