After partly avenging her mother's death, Evette Star, the illegitimate daughter of an elven king, sets off on a warpath to find the adversary of her people.
The human King in the West, Dracul Dregoth, has locked himself away in a stone tower for reasons unbeknownst to those who fear him. His reign has blanketed the land in darkness, and while Evette knows little about the man, she intends to make him pay for the deeds done by those who have obeyed his relayed orders. She will bring him to justice, even if it means uncovering hidden secrets that will force her to question if all of her efforts were really worth the trouble. She will have to learn the hard way that self-love and self-acceptance are more important than the love of others. Werewolves, dragons, and undead spirits may keep her from reaching her destination on time, but her need for fiery vengeance will be sated.
Of Shadow and Death is the first book in the Shadow Of Wisdom series. No one is truly trustworthy. No one is safe. Few will survive the truth, and even fewer will live happily ever after.

Heart of Ash and Wings of Gold | Draco Malfoy Love Story
The Second Wizarding War is at a standstill. Both sides haven't made any substantial progress and the frontlines remain unchanging. Voldemort's legion is destroying the infrastructure. There is no order, but there is fear. But fear can't last forever, right? Resources are almost gone. Dumbledore's Army is suffering from the psychological trauma and displacement. Hope can be found in the darkest places, but what happens when the dark is so powerful it absorbs any and all light? After the very public execution of his parents, Draco Malfoy disappeared during a battle he was supposed to command with all the dragons. Dragons would be the perfect solution for either side to finally gain the upper hand. The Dark Lord and the Order both receive a letter to send one representative to convince Draco who he should side with. For someone who can't be tortured, can't be threatened, the only way to gain his loyalty is to convince him. Hermione Granger and Theo Nott are the representatives sent to convince him. Now Draco has to choose. The Order to save the woman he finds himself falling for or the Dark Lord to save what little family he has left. Everyone's lives are in his hands and it seems that Draco is holding onto a secret that could unravel everything. |Explicit content and graphic depictions of violence inside.|Complete
D. Malfoy | Supremacy
Evelyn Vesta was many things: a witch, a Slytherin student, a kind woman, and most of all Mudblood. But she would die before admitting that last fact to anyone, and excluding one small slip up in her fourth year, she had made sure of that. That was until she was pulled aside by one Draco Malfoy. With his fiery temper and disgruntled demeanor, she wasn't sure if she should listen to him or have him committed. She almost considered it until the name "Death Eaters" came out of his mouth. Suddenly, HE wanted HER, and she had no clue what to do with that fact. With her life unravelling before her eyes, will she manage to keep her secret? Especially when she is inducted into the ranks of Death Eaters? And most importantly, will she be able to resist Draco Malfoy, with his alluring grey eyes and promises to help her?

A Court of Ash and Necromancy
Two years have passed since Mikael Anik and Estelle Marzena survived the Illyrian Blood Rite and were mated. They've finally settled into their new life together, back in the Dawn Court. However, the peace they've known thus far is almost at an end. For months, Estelle has suffered nightmares of the events that took place on Ramiel, and they are growing worse with each day that her questions remain unanswered. It is time for the mystery to be unraveled, but what will it cost to do so? There is more at stake now than either of them could have imagined. Are they facing an isolated threat, or is it possible that some ancient foe lurks within Prythian's borders, waiting for her chance to strike?

A Court of Wings and Fate
Some say that everyone's fate is already determined. If that's the case, Estelle Marzena is greatly disappointed with hers. Her greatest dream is to participate in the Illyrian Blood Rite and become a Carynthian warrior, like so many in her family. She has been training for the Rite her entire life, and yet, she continues to be told that she isn't ready. Estelle must find a way to prove her skills to her mentors so that she can prove her skills to the world, and she might have unwittingly stumbled across a way to do that. Being the bastard son of the High Lord of Dawn isn't something Mikael Anik takes lightly. Despite his parents' love and acceptance, Mikael continued to feel the pressure and unease of his people. His birth parents never married and he is a Peregryn halfbreed, the likes of which had never become a High Lord before. Mikael is devoted to proving himself to both his fathers and his people, but can he do that and deal with a surprisingly irritating Shadowsinger at the same time?

Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED
❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.
