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.

This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world.

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.
