"People die every day. Yet the folk only seem to care when people die at the hands of a villain or of a superior and darker power."

                                                                      ~ ~ ~ 

Heather Hawthorne enjoys her peaceful life as a medical herbalist in the city of Sedmion - Until one of her patient dies under inexplicable circumstances. Crops slowly begin to wilt, people grow ill and some descend into madness.


Curious - and maybe a little reckless - Heather sneaks away to investigate the scene of the death, letting her indiscreet curiosity get the best of her. There, she crosses paths with Cassius Servodax, the second Prince of Delaryr, who's investigating the same case.


Unfortunately for her, he's cold, arrogant and determined to make her life miserable.


A sliver of Fate - and a series of poor decisions - land her with the Black Crest Company, a team tasked with finding the link between the illness and The Hollows - an ancient legend buried deep out of fear.


However, always keep an eye on your surroundings. You never know what lurks within the shadows.

The Dagger of Eden by jessicam5942

In the heart of the crime-ridden Ancien City, Anjali Isa has mastered the art of stealth and murder. A deadly daggerman with the infamous Assassin Guild, she is one of the six killers serving the highest bidder in a city where secrets are currency, and betrayal is the norm. But when a new contract arrives-an assassination on the prince of Fastus, the richest and most powerful of the six magical Sila kingdoms-everything changes. The Sila kingdoms, thriving with their magic and wealth, have long turned their backs on the human lands, which are ravaged by poverty, war, and disaster. The Sila people possess unparalleled abilities and have closed their borders, leaving humans to suffer. Anjali's mission is simple: kill the prince and destabilize the kingdom. Anjali is forced to go undercover within the walls of the Fastus kingdom. But the prince, Kal, is no fool. He quickly discovers who she is, and instead of ordering her death, he turns their cat-and-mouse game into a twisted battle of wills, a contest where each must outwit and outlast the other-whoever survives wins, but neither is ready for what's about to unfold. As Anjali navigates the glittering yet deadly world of court politics, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies, manipulation, and murder. Fastus is unraveling from the inside out, and its once-glorious Tree of Vita, a sacred symbol of the kingdom's prosperity, begins to wither and die. Kal is desperate to uncover why the tree is dying and what dark force is eating away at his kingdom's lifeblood. With every passing day, secrets come to light, and enemies close in. Anjali is torn between her loyalty to the Assassin Guild and her growing understanding of the Sila. Between a kingdom on the brink of collapse and a prince who seems to know her better than anyone else, Anjali must decide where her true allegiance lies-and if she can find a way to stop the destruction she was hired to unleash.

My problem? The gods have chosen me to Guard the most arrogant and high maintenance prince of them all! If that wasn't enough, there's a new threat to our home which thrusts me and this dumb Prince on a quest that risks both of our lives. Gods help me! {Completed}

Obsidian by HeatherHolliday5

The world has ended and only the unlucky have survived. In the century since the Accident, Grayson Reid has spent his immortal life in servitude. Bound to Cardinal, an underground realm ruled by tyranny, he has blindly abided by Cardinal orders, unfazed by their cruelty or his own lost memories. Follow the rules and you live; disobey and you will suffer a fate far worse than death. That is until, one day, he wakes up to the memory of a woman on the run. Everywhere he goes, everywhere he turns there she is, in his mind's eye, beckoning to him. It is not long before Grayson too finds himself on the run, risking it all to finally take back what it is he lost all those years ago when the world was brought to its knees. After all, when you've hit rock bottom, how much more do you really have to lose? There is only one thing Mazikeen hates more than Cardinals - Vultures. Primitive, hideous, and cannibalistic, they are a plague upon Obsidian. She should know, she spent most of her life hunting them. Then, when her father died at the claws of a Vulture, she resigned and joined the peaceful Owls. Just when Mazikeen was getting comfortable and thought the fight was over, she discovers a way to destroy the Vultures once and for all. Mazikeen knows that she must pick up her blades one last time to bring peace to Obsidian, even if it means teaming up with an arrogant Cardinal soldier.

All I Need ✔️ by Chronically-Chaotic

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

A Chaotic Fate by xxxaberxxs

Reina Cara Vesala had a perfectly normal life-until Cassius, the feared Netherrealm Emperor, ripped her out of it. Claiming she was the reincarnation of his lost love, he kidnapped her to his realm, expecting a tearful reunion. Instead, he got a woman who hated his guts and plotted her escape at every turn. If Reina couldn't run, she would make Cassius suffer. Thus began their war-a game of resistance, sabotage, and pranks. But Cassius was patient. Obsessively so. Because losing her once nearly destroyed him. Losing her again? Not an option. But the more Reina fights, the more she realizes: Cassius isn't just a monster-he's something much, much worse. And yet... why does her heart betray her when he calls her Beloved? TW/Info : Most of this story are AI Generated and with the base idea of mine, please proceed with your own risk
