(Partial Draft. Available until new ANE draft is complete)
Kalen is dying and the odds that he will live are barely existent.
Magic users are on the verge of being wiped out by an enemy they never saw coming: dragons.
If only that was all Lana had to worry about. Andreas is being even more distant than before. No one in the house really seems to like her much, but at least she has found an ally in Roxi. Besides that, something is going on with Lana, something she cannot explain. Using her magic is leaving her feeling more tired than she knows she should, but she doesn't want to worry anyone by alerting them to it.
When their search for a cure for Kalen leads to Mallory getting captured by Queen Elisa, Lana is the only one who is willing to find her. But she had no way of predicting the unexpected turn her rescue attempt would take. She now finds herself in greater danger than she has ever been in before, and from the last person she would have guessed.
The stakes are higher, the tension more palpable. What do you do when you become your own worst enemy? Can Lana help save her friends, or will she end up getting herself hurt in the process?
Some fires burn until even the embers are no more.

His Dark Claim
"Why can't you let me go?" Her timid voice echoed through the walls of his heart and he heaved a deep sigh. He couldn't. How could he? She was the air he breathed. Blood in his veins. It was so simple and yet he couldn't make her understand. How did their relationship end up like this? He loved her and she loved him, didn't she? Then why? "I cannot do so, Dolcezza. I'll go crazy without you, you cannot leave me, I won't allow you to." And she shook her head, a laugh-filled with disbelief escaping her lips as she struggled to unbind herself from the chains. "Then at least free me of them." "No." A love so vicious it binds. A madness so deep it consumes. Escape is an illusion, and freedom... a cruel dream. For in his arms lies ruin... and in hers, salvation. ***** Celestine didn't know what love was until she crossed paths with her childhood crush, the stories of their childhood took them to their past and they started spending time with each other.

The Demon King
*word of advice, if poorly written books annoy you don't read. If you do you better not complain in my comments lol* Never steal from kings. Especially the king of demons. She hadn't expected her young brothers to steal, she hadn't thought of that scenario or what she would do. So she does what she does best, put those who she loves the most above herself. "I'm sick of this. I'm sick of you!" He bellowed in my face. I took the mask off, "I just need you out of my fucking system." He says as he stalks closer to me. Our chests press together, I look at him coldly. Tears stingy my eyes and my throat tight. "Do what you have to do, my king." He rips the necklace right off my neck.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
