You might think the world would be a better place if villains don't exist, but without the stories of the heroes who fight against them, life would be downright boring. As much as we have rooted against them, villains are a vital component to every fairytale. Deep down, all they want is a bit of the same admiration the heroes receive. In honor to these under-appreciated evildoers, I present to you 'Their Hidden Side'.
"Sometimes, a villain in every fairytale stories is just a princess or prince who has not been rescued."

Court Of Tethers and Ruin *A dark fae fantasy- romance*
"My mother warned me the fae are closer to gods than men. She never warned me what happens when gods wake up." The night the moon shattered it rained glittering shards upon the world. Fragments of divine power, each capable of increasing one's power and rendering the immortal Fae truly deathless. For the Fae King Kairos, they are not only his hope to save his crumbling Night Court from oblivion. They are a necessity to securing his rule and destroying those who oppose him. For Aylara Al'thaire, they bring only ruin. Aylara sees what others cannot: the golden threads of fate binding every soul to the connections they make in life. This gift has protected her human village for generations. But when Kairos's army storms her home, slaughtering all in their hunt for the fallen shards, her sight offers no escape. Only a bargain. To save her people, Aylara pledges herself to the Night King. In return for their lives, she will enter his treacherous court as his pawn-posed as his concubine, forced to use her unraveling gift to root out the traitor threatening his throne amidst the trials. As courts clash and ancient powers stir, Aylara walks a razor's edge: one misstep means her village burns and her fragile alliance with Kairos shatters, or the terrifying power of the shards consumes them all. Survival demands trust. But in the courts of fae, trust is the deadliest trial of all. ***************************** Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (18+) Themes: - Enemies to lovers - Strong female main character - Protective / obsessive male main character - Fated mates - Prisoner-ally relationship - Court politics - Trails And so much more!

"I spent my last life wanting to die, and now that I've decided to survive, this world is after me?" No. I won't die such a pathetic death. I will survive this time. No matter what. But first, I need to survive these main leads. One won't leave me alone; the other keeps fighting with me; another is destined to kill me... Even my superpowers are so weak! Surviving in a world that hates me... Is kinda difficult. *** I got tired of reading about 'special' and 'pure-hearted' heroines so I decided to write about a character I could relate to.

The Dethroned Beast And The Exiled Princess
Jax suppressed his urge to roll his eyes at Castilla's question again. Was it not obvious that he had to say it to her? He spun her around, and one arm stayed around her waist firmly; the hand rested on the small of her warm back. His other hand tilted her chin up. So he could look into her endless forest gaze. His eyes had changed to their fiery storm. "I don't know what to call it as yet, Castilla. But deep down, I knew you were meant for me, and I was never going to let go. I offered the alliance because I could keep you safe and not keep you against your own will. To give you a purpose that I know your heart truly desires. I want you by my side. If I had just asked, you wouldn't have stayed." When Castilla learned that all she knew was a lie, and all that she would learn would be the truth. Would she pick the right side? Was there even a right one to begin with? The enemy was neither a foe nor a friend. He asked, and she agreed.
