Aurelia just wants to live a peaceful life. Unfortunately, the Heir of the Underground has other plans for her...
~
Left on the steps of the chapel at birth, Aurelia is taken in and trained to serve the High King, the defeater of the Fey.
Only, unbeknownst to many, the Fey aren't truly gone.
Though highly underpopulated, the Fey remain hidden in the Underground. They keep to themselves and avoid humans at all costs, all except for one charmingly mysterious Fey: The Heir of the Underground.
And, much to Aurelia's horror, he's looking for her. And he's not at all opposed to crashing the High King's annual ball if it means getting to speak to her and reveal the truth of her heritage-a truth that Aurelia is not ready to face.
But one can only avoid the truth for so long, and the more she fights who she is meant to be, the more danger she creates, not only for herself but for everyone she encounters along the way.
One way or another, Aurelia is destined to go to the Underground. There, a mystery that only she can face is waiting to be solved. And the love of a lifetime is waiting for her and depending on her to help crack the case.

Little Light
In the fae realms, power is everything. It determines who you are, how high you rise, and how far you fall. For centuries, the Light Fae have ruled the Crescent Kingdom, their golden Queen standing as a beacon of strength and unity. Born with the promise of power that never came, Ciara has spent her life surrounded by whispers. Whispers that she's unworthy, that she's a fraud. For decades, her council has kept her from asking questions, masking their control as protection while stifling her every attempt to lead. Her crown may gleam, but it's nothing more than a cage. When a shadow creeps across the border of her realm, threatening her people with war, Ciara knows she must act. But an alliance with the Dark Fae-creatures of shadow and chaos-is unthinkable to her council. To them, the Dark Fae are the enemy. To Ciara, they may be her salvation. Caught between two realms, Ciara finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Dark Fae and their cunning and unpredictable ways. They offer her freedom, power, and a chance to reclaim her destiny. But in a world of shifting loyalties and dangerous bargains, nothing comes without a price. As secrets unravel and tensions mount, Ciara must navigate a treacherous path where every choice could mean betrayal. Her council has made their position clear: they will do anything to keep her under their control, even if it means stripping her of her title.Lengkap
Till Death Do Us Part
In the dark heart of wizarding aristocracy, love is the cruelest curse of all. Aurelia Black was once the shame of her bloodline-a supposed Squib destined to fade into obscurity. Now, she's the prodigy who saved Hogwarts, cloak in power, poise, and poisonous expectations. Her reward? A betrothal to her former friend turned bitter rival: Ominis Gaunt. Cold, cutting, and hellbent on escaping his family's legacy, Ominis has vowed to disappear after graduation. But when Aurelia discovers his plan, she proposed a dangerous compromise: she'll help him fake his death and disappear from his family for good-if he plays the devoted diance long enough to protect her reputation. What follows is a venom-laced charade of stolen glances and seething hatred, set against a background of opulent galas, glittering lies, and the weight of expectations. Fated to be enemies. Forced to be partners out of necessity. This is not a love story. (Slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, angst, dark wizarding elite, arranged marriage) Told from Aurelia Black's POVLengkap
Laurel and Bone
-"She'll ruin you! She'll bring you to your knees." His answer was a prayer, murmured above me. "Even better."- ~A tale of oaths, and the people who break them~ Cassia Aurelius is a thief, an orphan, and a girl who made a terrible mistake... she ate Fae food. Now she's trapped in a realm of beautiful half-truths disguised as mercy, where the price of survival is combat. Forced into deadly trials before a crowd of merciless Fae, Cassia fights to keep her life, unaware that the game was never meant for her to win.

This Lord had his own reasons for this chivalry, however. She was not to be a bride, but a key. Hunted, terrified, and betrayed, Cassia finds an unlikely ally in the court of her betrothed. One with secrets that echo her own... one who leads her to a reclusive and broken Fae Lord who sees the darkness she hides. As war brews and ancient magic stirs, love becomes a weapon. Cassia must decide who to trust before she loses more than her home and freedom. In the Fae realm, looks can be deceiving.

The Shattered Veil
It's 1991, and Aurelia Black begins her second year at Hogwarts certain that the danger she faced last year is over. She's wrong. Invisible rifts have started to tear through the ancient wards of the castle - thin, jagged wounds in the very air that spill strange cold and drifting motes of light. Some vanish in seconds. Others linger like open doors to somewhere they shouldn't lead. The Black family locket at Aurelia's throat hums whenever one is near, the motes it carries swirling faster, as though urging her toward them. As she searches for answers, Aurelia crosses paths with cunning older students, learns to read codes older than the castle itself, and realises someone may be using the rifts for their own dark purpose. Every step closer to the truth pulls her deeper into a race against time - before the largest tear of all opens, and something steps through that Hogwarts will never be able to send back.Lengkap
Where The Compass Points
In 1990, Hogwarts welcomes a new first-year with a name steeped in history - and secrets that may shape its future. Aurelia Black has always walked in shadows she doesn't entirely understand. Descended from one of wizarding Britain's most notorious pure-blood families, she arrives at Hogwarts determined to make her own mark. But when a strange silver compass falls into her hands, she and two unlikely allies are drawn into a dangerous mystery hidden deep in the Scottish mountains. As she deciphers cryptic symbols, faces dangerous magical creatures, and evade the suspicions of professors and rivals alike, Aurelia must decide who she can trust - and how far she's willing to go to uncover the truth. Because what lies behind the iron door isn't just a forgotten relic of magic... it's a secret tied to the darkness rising beyond the castle walls.Lengkap
Chains Made Of Silk (Completed)
Aurelia was once a nameless maid-obedient, quiet, invisible. But years of servitude taught her one truth: power doesn't belong to those who inherit it. It belongs to those willing to bleed for it. One night, she seized it. She slaughtered the royal family, took the crown, and made herself Queen. The only one she spared? Seraphina-the former princess, now a prisoner in her own palace. Once her mistress, now her captive. Once her dream, now her regret. But history between them runs deeper than anyone suspects. Before rebellion, before betrayal... there were glances. Secrets. Longing. And something dangerous neither of them dared name. Now, with Seraphina under house arrest and Aurelia sitting on a throne drenched in blood, their story begins again-not as ruler and servant, but as two monsters shaped by love, obsession, and the cost of freedom. Maybe she wanted the crown. Maybe she just wanted her. Maybe... she wanted both. ⚠️ Content Warning: dark romance, manipulation, obsession, murder, power imbalance, confinement > More of this chaos?

Aurelia
Her name was written in golden ink, and nothing would ever be the same. Aurelia never imagined her quiet life would matter to anyone-until the Quill of Calling inscribed her name in glowing gold, marking her as chosen. Now she's a student at Crowned Star University, an ethereal academy hidden far from the world she knew, where future royals and magical beings are shaped into something greater. Within its velvet-draped halls, she finds freedom for the first time... and something else stirring-something forgotten, blooming slowly inside her. Her magic doesn't follow rules. It pulses with emotion, echoing fear, softness, longing. It reacts to dreams. To safety. To pain. And to them. There are whispers about the four princes-each one cloaked in power, mystery, and something she can't quite name. Wind, shadow, light, and stone. Their eyes linger too long. Their presence shifts the air. And somehow, without meaning to, Aurelia begins to belong to places-and people-she never thought would see her. But when a cursed book begins to pull on her soul, and a ghost starts whispering truths no one else dares speak, Aurelia must decide who she is: the girl who was written in gold... or the one who will rewrite the story entirely. * * * Contains age regression, mental health issues, graphic scenes, abuseLengkap
