Dhara's life was turned upside down once before, and she had recovered nicely from it, thank you very much.

Then the king dies, which is enough cause for worry, and the reason for all the past upheaval in her life walks in through the front door with the youngest prince when a necromancer and his goons try to kill her. She is glad for his help, but does she want him around after all this time?

Malachi was a warrior mage. He always knew the path his calling would lead him on, and that path did not include Dhara. 

Years later, as Captain of the Guard to the suspiciously-dead king, Malachi finds out that he needs to protect Dhara, and do so at all costs, because there is something about her that neither of them knew before that placed her high on the Queen's kill list.

Can they overcome their past differences and work together to save Sansia as they know it?

Can they forget past hurts and go up against the crown for the sake of their kingdom?

In a world where magic lingers just beneath the surface, two ancient sorcerers, Merlin and Malakar, once stood united against an ancient evil. Merlin, a master of time manipulation with other range of magic abilities, and Malakar, a dark elf bound by his father's malevolent pact, fought side by side for centuries. However, upon Merlin's death, he entrusts Malakar with spreading the magic they've safeguarded. To preserve their legacy, Malakar reincarnates both their souls for a future battle against an old darkness. In modern times, Merlin is reborn as Kaito, the world's most powerful human sorcerer, while Malakar reincarnates as Akira, a 16-year-old boy who struggles with his destiny. Akira is haunted by the idea of being Malakar's reincarnation and is reluctant to embrace the darker side of his past life.

He smiled. The devil himself couldn't have crafted a more wicked grin. "What do you say we play a game, little Reaper?" I narrowed my eyes, trying to decipher his intentions. "What kind of game?" His grin widened, showing the tips of his fangs. I watched the prince curiously as he strode over to his bag. With a swift motion, he withdrew a bow and a quiver of arrows, flinging them at my feet without so much as a second glance. I furrowed my eyebrows, casting him a look of uncertainty. That sinister grin stayed plastered upon his lips as he said, "Run." *** I, Skyla Ashforth, am what some might call a "sociopath." It was a title that fit. Why shouldn't I embrace it? I am a vampire slayer, a Reaper of bloodsuckers, and an exceptionally good one, if I do say so myself. Yes, being a sociopath has its perks; I could manipulate and deceive with the best of them. So, when captured by the notorious Red Prince, I embraced the challenge of manipulating my freedom. Pierce Darcee, was a sadistic vampire with a God complex. The fool actually believed he could break me. Little did he know, I was the kind of Reaper who would dance through a battlefield, whistling a merry tune as I twirled my braids. I relished the challenge of manipulating his oversized ego, planning to stab that rotting, blackened heart of his with a venom-laced dagger. I crafted a scheme so delightful, so intricate, that I couldn't help but salivate at the prospect of victory. It was foolproof, or so my mind believed. But then... then there was that pull. That unexpected, unwelcome spark that ignited something within me. Feelings, of all things! Now, that was a complication. Disgusting, messy feelings that could very well lead to my destruction. Or his. It was a dangerous game we played, but then again, the most thrilling ones usually are. *Rated M for Murder, Mayhem, and some profanity. Sorry but no smutty interludes. You've stumbled into a blood bath, not a bodice ripper.*

"Well," he suddenly informed, his voice a mere whisper that sent shivers down my spine, "facts about vampires include their ability to sense the desires of others from just a few distances." "And aside from those two whose desires are choking the place, another one lingers, and that's you, Red," he stated. I could feel the warmth of his breath, tantalizingly close, as it brushed against my ear, sending a rush of sensations through my body. "W-What?" "You know," he continued, his voice lowering even further, as if he was revealing a forbidden secret, "I can help with that, Red, leaving you breathless and craving more than you've ever desired in your entire life." ~~~~ Red Hathaway The girl with a seemingly normal life has gone through the ups and downs of high school.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
