In the famous City of Knives a paranoid king's black magic went awry; instead of his son--the prince--it was the king who died.
I am that prince although it takes four long years for my memories to return. I find the city prospers under the rule of a regent elected by the city lords. As soon as I see Regent Winters I fall ridiculously in love with him.
But the maguses know the 'true king' is alive and wish to thrust upon me a crown I should not have, not with the madness of my bloodline waiting to take me next. I have made a life for myself as fencing stolen good to the city's merchants and petty nobles and I am well respected in the lawless parts of this many parted town. A dark-haired dashing twenty-year-old prince of rogues who bears little resemblance to the tawny and fragile lost prince.
With all that I have learned it should not be to difficult make an illicit living, elude the maguses, seduce the regent, and find some sneaky way to make dull elections a permanent replacement to back-stabbing, inbreeding and the greed for a glittering crown...

To Target the Heart
Prince Hamish has no interest in fulfilling his duty of marrying. Not to a woman, at least. That doesn't stop his mother, Queen Fiona, from presenting him with every eligible noblewoman that enters their castle. He's certain it'll be no different with the representative of the Udynea Empire. So when they do arrive, Hamish is relieved the imperial prince, Darshan, is not the woman everyone expected. Until the man kisses him and Hamish is confronted by the very emotions he has been forced to conceal or be punished for. Emotions he is eager to explore. But the kiss proves to be a little too public and leads his mother to take drastic measures to ensure Hamish adheres to her family vision. Her actions will force Hamish to make a choice: give up his happiness for convention's sake or send the kingdom spiralling into civil war for the right to love his own way.Kumpleto
Taking Back Pathos
Betrayal swirls in her eyes briefly before turning back into fury. Her hands roughly fist my hair tilting my head back, allowing the blade more access to my throat. "You bastard. You hurt him, didn't you?" "I assure you I did not force him to help me." I stare up at Wrens tormented expression, almost enjoying the position she has me in. Her eyes narrow as she leans closer to me, almost inches away, "liar." My response cuts short as a she takes the dagger from my throat and drives the blunt end into the back of my head. The feeling of falling eludes me, as the darkness once circling me now invades my mind. ............................ Waiting is not an easy task, especially when you are planning on murdering the Queen. It has been 14 years since Wren lost everything to Morana's reign. Her home, her father, her hope.

Let's escape this hell place full of dark drama and try to find a place where actually normal people lives. Or so I thought? "Don't think you can escape from us" "Baby, your existence are ours only."

Arranged to the Mafia King
"I do." Smiling the fake smile I've come to perfect in the last year, I nod as I take hold of the mans hands I have to marry. My nails that I've managed to grow out as weapons digging into his palms, his eyes narrowing at me but his smile doesn't falter. "I do." Two, three years ago I would've never believed that I'd be standing here. You could've been from the future driving a flying car and I still probably not believed you. Has my life truly come to this? Marrying a sicko named Gideon King. A man that has now taken hold of his father's dangerous group, because of marrying me. Me marrying him just tripled how truly dangerous he is... "You may kiss the bride." With him leaning towards me I pressed my finger onto his lips. Causing gasps and his eyes becoming daggers as I tried not to roll my eyes. "Why ruin the sweet moment with a small kiss when it's obvious I want more? Don't want to...cause a scene." I smooth, some laughing and Gideon smirking. With him still coming towards me, his lips rested on my earlobe and his hands gripped my waist tightly. Making me wish I could knee him in the balls, but the last time I did that his crazy bodyguards almost crushed me to death. "Nice save. So you wanna be like that? Du wirst es bereuen." ( You'll regret it ) He hissed, making me wish he didn't know my language of German.Kumpleto
The Siren
The day King William is gifted the Siren is the day the fate of two kingdoms will change forever. This is a gay poly/triad fantasy adventure romance story. ------------------------------------ William smiled. "Hardly anyone calls me by my first name." "William," Sia repeated and some of his former melodies made it into his voice. William's breath hitched, Sia could feel it on his toes. His fingers twitched on his side, like he wanted to reach out and touch Sia, but Sia was glad that he didn't. "You have a lot of books about magical creatures," Sia said to break the spell between them. His voice had created that spell, he was glad he still could do it, but he didn't want William to touch him now, or to want him like this. "As a boy I thought the world outside these walls was full of wonders," William replied. "Not anymore?" "Men killed all the wonders," William answered.Kumpleto
The King's Courtier
This story is a romantic fantasy set in the future. Keep in mind each chapter is 10 page long. In the year 2200, the world is no longer ruled by presidents or individual governments. The entire globe is ruled by a single immortal king - King Sulfur. Continents are now "categories" separating people in terms of talent. Aurelia, the protagonist, is apart of the beauty category. Although Elexia is a world in which everyone is satisfied, those in the beauty and slavery categories still face oppression. Those in her category are to become escorts and prostitutes when they're of age, not given an alternative choice in contrast to those in every other category. Aurelia was born to become the king's personal escort despite her impeccable talents in each category and when she was taken to the castle, she kept true to herself and held on to her sharp tongue. She soon realized that the castle hides many secrets. She was met with the anonymous eight who were King Sulfur's closest friends. No one knew their true purpose and looks beyond the castle's court because the castle's magic would erase everyone who stepped out's memory of them. The two strongest of the eight turn out to be the main love interests of Aurelia. While she tries to resolve her unrequited feelings for a man she formerly despised, she realizes that she has grown attached to the king. She simultaneously wrestles feelings for her old best friend and tries to discover with whom her heart truly lies. TW: oppression, sexism, vulgar language and scenes. Mature content and intimate scenes present.
