27 parts Ongoing Mature
After a painful heartbreak, Clara swore never to love again. Longing for a fresh start, she prepared for her life-changing surgery... only to awaken in an unfamiliar world, where fate's allure twisted her destiny. Mistaken for a princess whose identity was yet unknown to her, she was forced into marriage with a ruthless, blood-sucking king - a man feared by all, even death itself. But Clara's new reality was only the beginning. ********** In the deepest depths of the earth lies a sacred place of endless torment - Hell. A sacred land of sorrow, pain, and eternal punishment, specially made for those who committed different kinds of atrocities on earth. Yet, the true ruler of this sacred, cursed place is not Satan, nor Lucifer, but a being far more ancient and feared. Demons, witches, immortals - even Satan himself - bow to his name. The one who whispered rebellion into Lucifer's heart, the fear that feeds on silence, the one whose existence the Bible never dared to reveal. His identity remains unknown to all humans, not because it was forgotten, but because it was forbidden. His allure thrives in mystery for what is more terrifying than an enemy you can't name? But the question remains ..... Who is this king of Hell?.... Why was his name forbidden for all mortal being?.... What is his true purpose for creating all the evil that thrives in the world?........ And most importantly why was Clara-a broken-hearted human on the brink of a new life dragged into a completely different world?..... The questions remain constant...... yet unremarkable answered.
Catherine | THE CROWN OF ASHES by dark_fable_writer
32 parts Ongoing
There are whispers in the drawing rooms of Victorian England-tales of a lady admired by all, yet hiding a secret no one dares speak aloud. Catherine moves with quiet grace, but beneath silken gowns and polite smiles, she is no gentlewoman. Burned for witchcraft long ago, she has returned-cold, cunning, and vengeful, with forbidden magic in her veins and memories that stretch beyond the grave. The world that once betrayed her now bows to propriety and power, but men of science scoff, priests pray, and women gossip-blind to the storm that stirs behind her eyes. Allies are scarce, enemies abound, and every step she takes brings her closer to the vengeance she has waited lifetimes to claim. "When the old gods whisper again, Catherine will rise-not as a queen, but as a curse. And the crown she seizes will be forged in ash."

He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning.

And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown A/N: Based on otome romance novels, but from the second male lead's POV, who the heroine never chose.

❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references ↜ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first season Chosen One awards ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021

A supposed friend of the monarch sets his plans into motion as he enters court for the first time. He wishes to have the throne to himself and dismember everything in his wake in an unsettling form of collateral damage.
