Immortality ends in darkness.
The Nix has lived almost three hundred years. He has served the throne and watched it pass from ruler to ruler, corruption more rampant with each generation. He has carefully bided his time and spread his influence across the realm, waiting for a chance to remake the crown, the country, and eventually the world in his image, willing to kill and destroy however he must to achieve his ends. Armed with dark power and centuries of preparation, he's almost ready to strike. But one snowy night when a band of adventurers stumbles into the palace, bloody and half frozen, his long life is flipped upside down.
The adventurers are hunting down a legendary artifact that can instill absolute obedience in anyone, a hunt that almost killed The Nix decades earlier. Even more remarkable is Lily, an untrained immortal, the only other immortal he's ever known. The Nix plans to extort these people for all they're worth, but he quickly realizes killing off the last of his humanity isn't as easy as it sounds. Confronted with an undesired attachment to the adventurers and a protégée to give him purpose, he must make a choice he never thought he could: endless power or a peaceful eternity.

A half-angel, half-demon girl on the run. A childhood friend turned betrayer. A dying boyfriend she's desperate to save. And a monstrous father who wants her heart-for power, not love. Inara Astaroth has never truly been safe. Born to an angel mother and a demon vessel, her very existence is a threat-especially to the godless deity who lives within her father and wants to consume her heart to ascend. After surviving her father's violent return and the betrayal of her closest friend, Inara has spent most of her life in hiding-until now. With her boyfriend Cyrus slowly succumbing to an incurable magical sickness, Inara embarks on a journey across a fractured land in search of a mythical cure, accompanied by the last person she ever wanted to see again: Kota, the werewolf boy who once led her into a trap that nearly got her killed. As they travel through cursed forests, collapsing shrines, and time-bending ruins, old wounds begin to reopen-and so do old feelings. Inara doesn't know what's worse: the growing tension between her and Kota, or the creeping realization that her heart may not belong entirely to Cyrus anymore. But with her father still hunting her and the cure buried deep beneath the sea in a lost city guarded by ancient powers, she doesn't have the luxury of doubt. Because she's not just trying to save the boy she loves- She's trying to outrun the fate written in her blood. **A lush and haunting romantic fantasy, perfect for fans of emotionally complex characters, dangerous magic, found family, and star-crossed lovers.**Complete

❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan.

Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.
