The past can be a dangerous thing.
Especially when it's a dark, deadly place that no one would ever try to enter. No one would ever want to enter.
Not unless they had to.
For the past two years, Ariane has been trying to lead a normal life. Owning a small bookshop, and currently living in Crostia--a bustling kingdom--with a new name, she is doing her best to pass herself off as normal.
But when the Prince Of Crostia comes to her, demanding for her to take him to an enemy powerful beyond imagination--who is at fault for the destruction of a kingdom, she finds the past is coming back faster than she intended.
Now, off on a journey with the Prince, who wants her dead, but just doesn't know it yet, Ariane must find a way to survive and make it out alive.
But what's to happen when feelings come to play? When people get too attached, and both sides of the story are seen? Will there be mercy? Or will it be Ariane's downfall?
One must learn, when people play with lightning, they're bound to be consequences.

Children of the Sun- Aria's Awakening
They say the sun never hides-but what if its greatest secret was hidden among us? Aria was born of a forbidden union-fire and fang. The Sun's heiress and the Moon's fiercest werewolf blood collided to create something the supernatural world had never seen. Hours after her birth, betrayal ignited a war, and Aria was cast into the human world-without her powers, her past, or her name. Now eighteen, she's fiery, reckless, and burning with a rage she can't explain. Until the rip opens. Drawn back into a world she never knew, Aria is hunted by vampires, coveted by sirens, and feared by her own kind. But when her true powers awaken and a dangerously loyal werewolf claims her as his mate, Aria must decide: Will she become the weapon they all fear-or the queen no one saw coming? A saga of fire, blood, and destiny begins. Supernatural fantasy meets royal drama with a fierce heroine at the center of it all. This is not the myth you've heard.

God of Storms
God of Storms Book I in the Ruined Gods series The kingdom of Brumefall knows better than to wake their grief-stricken King. His rage is as relentless as the storms he commands, his wrath a legend whispered in fear. Yet a reckless dare leads Princess Aura Valienne of Elarion to do the unthinkable-climbing the fortress and rousing the slumbering storm after more than a century. Now, there is no escape. Faced with an ultimatum-death or servitude-Princess Aura is bound to King Gabriel Ashford until he decides she has paid for her mistake. But her royal blood is undeniable, and even as a prisoner, she refuses to break. There is more to Aura than just her lineage, and the Storm God senses it from the moment he sets his eyes on her. The longer she remains in his realm, the more the Princess realizes the feared King is not just a monster, but a man haunted by loss and fury. Despite the danger, she finds herself drawn to his tempest. Lord Adrian Lockworth, King Gabriel's closest friend and confidant, offers Princess Mary Valienne a place in the castle, ensuring the sisters do not have to be apart. His quiet admiration and gentle guidance offer a refuge amid the chaos, but as fate tightens its grip, even the softest hearts may be tested beyond anything they ever imagined. Some forces should never be woken. And some storms can never be tamed. "You locked me in like a prisoner." "You're not a prisoner. You're alive. There's a difference." "You think that justifies it?" "I think it kept you from being killed," he said flatly. "So yes, I do." Aura narrowed her eyes. "And what if I don't want to be safe at the cost of my freedom?" "And what if I don't want to lose you at the cost of your pride?" Copyright © 2025 by gardneranastasia ***All rights reserved.

The Airbone Fate [COMPLETED]
Arianna Sapphire always thought her life was ordinary-quiet days, familiar faces, and dreams that never reached beyond the stars above her window. But everything changed on that night. A sacrifice was made-one that tore her from the only world she knew and thrust her into another. One decision, one unraveling truth, and her simple life was gone forever. Whispers of royalty and magic soon followed. Arianna discovers that she is no ordinary girl-she is the lost heir to the mystical realm of Enchancia, bearer of the legendary Diamond Sapphire. Within her flows the ancient power of air, a force once guarded by her ancestors, now awakened in her. But with that power comes great danger-especially when the kingdom's most feared enemies, the Dark King and his merciless son Cyrus, set their sights on her. They want her gem. Her magic. Her life. To protect her, Queen Celestia assigns her most trusted warrior: Captain Travis Collen, a strict, mysterious royal guard with a dark past and even darker blood. Known for his cold discipline and silence, Travis never expected to care-not for a mission, and certainly not for her. But as they face trials together-ambushes, betrayals, battles that scar both body and soul-walls begin to fall, and emotions begin to rise. Against all odds, love finds its way between sword fights and shattered skies. But can love survive when fate itself seems determined to pull them apart? Will Arianna learn to control the power that she was destined to? Can Travis protect her from the darkness? Step into a world of royalty, elemental magic, forbidden love, and war that tests the very limits of loyalty. Because in Enchancia, nothing is ever what it seems. And sometimes, love is the most dangerous magic of all.Complete
