Reborn to Control the Court
Once, Clarise was a treasure of the kingdom the daughter of a powerful duke, the fiancée of the crown prince, and the envy of every noblewoman. But her gilded life shattered when her angel-faced half-sister, Cassandra, slithered into her world. Sweet in public, venomous in private, Cassandra stole her prince, her reputation, and finally her life, framing her for a crime she never committed. At twenty-three, Clarise died beneath the executioner's blade. But one night, at sixteen years old, she woke from a dream soaked in blood and betrayal, only to realize they weren't dreams at all. They were memories. Her memories. The memories of her downfall. This time, she will not plead for love. She will not wait to be devoured. She will play the court like a finely tuned instrument wielding beauty as a weapon, charm as a snare, and fear as her shield. The crown prince will be her pawn, the nobles her audience, and Cassandra... her prey. In a world where one flick of her ivory fan can silence a room, Clarise will weave alliances, crush rivals, and dismantle her sister's carefully built web. The court may see a graceful lady but behind the smile lies a serpent-slayer ready to burn her enemies to ash. This is not the tale of a damsel wronged. This is the rise of the woman who will rule them all. © 2025 BlackheartedShae. All Rights Reserved.

By Sword, By Storm, By Heart: I will always protect you my Queen
Princess Caitlyn Kiramman is everything she must be. The perfect heir, obedient, calculated, and promised for power...not love. But when Violet Lane, a lowborn knight from Zaun, wins the royal tournament and saves the queen's life, she earns the offer of a lifetime. And with it, a post too close to the princess she was never meant to want. What starts as friction burns into desire. Stolen glances. Heated arguments. Kisses neither of them should have shared. Turning into breathless moments. A knight's grip on royal hips. A princess pressed to stone. Mouths colliding like a secret too long denied. Caitlyn was trained to serve her kingdom. Vi was trained to fight for survival. Neither was ready for the taste of real temptation, let alone for what would bloom from it. But in a kingdom already trembling under the weight of secrets, whispers of forbidden magic, Queen Cassandra demanding obedience and a House waiting to claim the princess, the crown, Caitlyn begins to realize that the fate of the realm rests in her hands. To obey means to hold onto the royal chains. To give in means risking it all. But in her Knight's arms... She feels it, not the weight of her destiny but the pull of her soul.

The Villain Should Be Wary
Prince Caydeyrn Di Vel Delphine. Commander of the royal battalion. A legend dressed in iron and silk. He's noble, honorable, devastatingly handsome-every inch the kind of man a kingdom worships, and a woman trusts with her life. Josephine Caldwell. A healer from the quiet provinces. Sweet as spring rain. Gentle as moonlight. Her magic draws pain into her own body so others can breathe again. She gives everything-her strength, her sleep, her peace-and asks for nothing in return. To Prince Caydeyrn, she was a miracle. She never wanted a crown. Never wanted love. But Caydeyrn offers both like they're hers by right. It's meant to be a pure love story. Wholesome. Romantic. It's supposed to make me swoon. But I don't. Because I don't want the prince. I want the other one. Duke Evander De LaCroix. The king's nephew. Vanished at eight. Returned a man-silent, changed. Not only broken. Twisted. Cold. Predatory. Wrong. The story details there is something unclean in the way he looks at people. Like he's already imagining what their screams might sound like. And when he sees Josephine? He fixates. He hunts her. Watches her like she's prey-like he's already decided to break her. She hides behind Caydeyrn's protection, clutching her innocence like armor. And every time Evander steps onto the page, I can't breathe. Not because I'm scared - but because I wish he looked at me like that. The book says he's wrong. That he's twisted. Dangerous. That Josephine's fear is justified. That Caydeyrn is the right choice. But I don't want safety. I want to be ruined by the villain. It's not their slow-burn romance anymore. It's my obsession. And the worst part? I know he would hate me. He wouldn't love me. He'd see the dark little thing I am and realize that I am not the innocent maiden he obsesses over. I'm lucky if he would ruin me for the fun of it. And God help me, I'd let him. Gladly.
