The gods are angry.
There are secrets locked behind the large, wooden door of the castle's library-with it, Sage's mother. There are ghosts that haunt the hallways, they linger, whispering their sins to never be heard and they watch through portraits of former kings. Lies that leave the lips of a king so revered by his people, they string along the crowned princess, who wants nothing but to believe her father.
When the king decides they all die, that is the command, and so the people of Lythria will do so.
When the gods are angry, the people will suffer. They demand blood more than a king mad upon his throne. Nyx is given the command from the gods: remove the sin from the world. And she's forced to kill the target or side with her.
Is damnation worth love?

Soul
"In a world ruled by power and tyranny, peace is a distant dream. You were once a child, innocent and new to life, yet someone ignited the flames of destruction, suffocating your breath and stealing away the purity of your air. All that remained were fleeting drops of water and the faintest hope that the fires would one day cease. Perhaps you were gifted, your powers beyond what was ever expected, but power isn't just strength-it's a threat. Years passed, and you grew to despise everyone and everything. In rage and vengeance, you found a twisted kind of salvation. Amidst the chaos, you found home with someone you've picked up while desperately trying to escape the chains of fate. And though agony shaped my path, I never wavered from my purpose. Through hell and blood, I built my name and wealth, offering others a chance for redemption, for lives once broken like my own. Now, after all this time, I've prepared to fulfill the final task of my life. Many will weep, blood will stain the earth, but certainly, they will pay for stealing my childhood. - Anastas
Descendants of the Kings (Book 2)
Once upon a time, a wise Queen predicted that after millennia of peace, the evils she had once fought to vanquish would come back to seek vengeance. Men and Fae, under the thumb of one common enemy. When all hope seemed lost, in the darkest hour, the heroes once prophesied would rise again. The descendants of the Kings-- young warriors willing to defy it all to save them. Ella is not the young woman that left Rhothomir all those months ago. She has a choice to make now. She has a role to play, more significant than anything she could have imagined. Will it be more than she bargained for? Magic, life and death all have a price, and Ella will find out just how steep that price is. In a story written long before she was born, death might be the only answer, but it certainly isn't the end. The second and final book in the HOG duology, a fantasy story full of action, romance and magic!
Flower and Tree
"Why did you do this to us? Why take dying and dead minds and force them on unwilling and unknowing random people?" Her voice did not raise, but the few physical items in the room began to shake, and the air to on a distinct smell of sulphur. "Why not just let us live normal lives? Why burden us with this?" Eventually It spoke. "I will tell you what I told those you host. Only Heaven, Hell, and their respective rulers are eternal, and even the Master of Lies and his domain shall yet fall under the sword of the One that the Druids called the White God." Rated T for the beginning of Chapter 3 See last chapter for information on my lack of updates. Also, this is one of earliest stories that I have written(discounting the ones that I wrote when I was about four), but I only re-found it recently. To those who have read it before it got 'revamped', it was once called 'Rosella Tiger'.Completa

Saving Tally (last Book 6) Jacobs Broken Mercenaries
The walls between heaven, hell, and earth no longer exist. There are no more rules, and humans are becoming extinct. Only the strong and the clever will survive. The fate of the world rests on their shoulders. Jacob is missing after sending off his last true tie to earth; into the hands of the devil. Lucifer is fighting for control over a land he despises. The crew is hiding out in faery just trying to survive. Can Jacob save the day? Does he even want to? In this last installment of Jacob's broken mercenaries. All the answers will come to fruition. In a world where you're either the hero or the villain. Lucifer lies heavily in the latter category, but to Tally (behind his wall of indifference), he's just normal. Maybe a little selfish. She desires him and understands him like no other. Does that make her evil, too? How will this story end? There's so many questions, and only two possible outcomes are definite. The end or a new beginning.Completa
Dark Savior (Demon Reader x K/DA)
The world is a dark and cruel place. It takes so much and never gives. One man would not stand for this system any longer. He planned to pull the corruption out by the roots. Starting with the leaves that have grown from its branches. The Pure will be saved and the Corrupted will be purged. His demonic heritage has given him great power but it was his own experience with this corruption that sharpened his mind. With that mind, he has started this grand crusade. Upon the beginning, the world labeled him and his followers as Villains. He didn't mind. The Pure would not know the difference until he came to save them. Setting up shop in Ionia, he discovers an old Tethi Relic. One that could very well alter the course of Runeterra itself. Disclaimers I do not own anything in the book besides the plot. Some outside Media is used.Completa
Rebirth of the Omnipotent Heir
Aiden's life was once one of power, ambition, and betrayal. Born as the heir to a vast empire, he had it all-until his father, the ruthless Emperor, cast him aside, ordering his death to solidify his own reign. But death is not the end for Aiden. Reborn into a world of innocence, he finds himself as a helpless infant once again, with the echoes of his past life still haunting his soul. In the arms of his mother, Lyria, who had long suffered from the Emperor's cruelty, Aiden awakens to a world where nothing is as it seems. With memories of his previous life and a thirst for vengeance, he grows stronger every day, uncovering the depths of his power and the mysteries surrounding his rebirth. As his bond with his mother, grandmother, and other powerful women in his life deepens, Aiden realizes that his destiny is far greater than he ever imagined. With each passing day, his strength evolves, allowing him to travel between realms, conquer gods, and steal the hearts of legendary women from other worlds-like Mito Uzumaki, Tsunade, and even goddesses from distant realms. But Aiden is not just after power-he is driven by revenge. The father who abandoned him, who sentenced him to death, will feel his wrath. With the ability to create and destroy entire universes, Aiden's path to godhood is unstoppable. He will tear apart the omniverse itself if that's what it takes to exact his revenge and claim what is rightfully his. In a world where betrayal runs deep and alliances mean nothing, Aiden will rise, shattering the very fabric of existence as he seeks to become the most powerful being in all realms-an omnipotent ruler of time, space, and love. Will he find redemption in the love of the women who surround him? Or will the darkness of his past consume him, leaving nothing but ashes in his wake?

It came during the most desperate of times, after a reign of bloodshed. It thundered on in spite of terror, hopelessness and the great chain of inequity.

Yet in the new era, order will be disrupted and an old enemy of the Guardians, the exile, will destroy their sanctum and wreak hell upon their lands. Their only hope lies in the form of a child from an advanced race of beings, and she will need to be trained.Completa
