The devout village of Whitscar lives under the iron fist of the Chapel. Minister, a man who rules their bodies as well as their souls, expects the members of his congregation to seek purity above all things. Verity Grail, though betrothed to Minister's only son, is also the niece of the village's most notorious sinner, a woman who died in her shame with a babe out of wedlock.
After a bad harvest, Minister seeks to find the member of his flock who has cursed Whitscar with their sin. The signs are simple, homes with illness or untamed women are usually to blame. After her sister comes down with a fever, Verity's mother sends her in the dead of night beyond the walls to seek a medicinal herb in order to avoid the eye of the Chapel.
While roaming among the ancient tombs beyond the black trees of Kirksor Wood, Verity meets one of the five Immortal Princes of the far off Fire Hill, a volcanic kingdom of inhuman blacksmiths and warriors. Sigtrygg, the second born son of the infamous demigod King Assur, takes pity on her and offers her a choice visit his father's secret kingdom high in the mountains.
Verity is faced with the choice to stand by her family and return to a life of fearful duty or imagine a greater destiny for herself beyond Whitscar.

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home.

shadow's bargain
Lila Ashbourne never believed in the supernatural. Raised in a family haunted by secrets and a past stained by tragedy, she's spent years running from the shadows that plague her bloodline. But when an enigmatic package arrives, containing one of her late father's journals, Lila is drawn back to Blackwood Hollow-a place she thought she had escaped forever. In the decaying mansion where her family's curse began, she discovers that the past is far from dead. And someone-or something-has been waiting for her return. Damien Blackthorn, the infamous heir to the Blackthorn curse, is a man of shadows and sin. With a bloodline bound to an ancient and malevolent entity, Damien has spent his life seeking redemption-or at least a way to break free from the shackles of his cursed existence. He's no stranger to darkness, but when he crosses paths with Lila, he finds himself tangled in something far more dangerous than the ghosts of his past. Their families are connected by more than fate-they share a blood debt to the same powerful force that has tormented them both. As Lila unravels the truth behind her family's curse, she finds herself at the mercy of a man whose love is as destructive as it is consuming. Torn between his cold indifference and his growing obsession, Lila must decide if she can trust Damien-or if her connection to him will only pull her deeper into the shadows. In a world where loyalty is tested, secrets lurk in every corner, and love is both a curse and a blessing, Lila and Damien are forced to confront their darkest desires. Can they break free from the chains of their bloodlines before it's too late? Or will their love consume them both in a deadly bargain with the very forces that have shaped their fates?

This power might be their only hope to vanquish Astra and quell the encroaching darkness before it extinguishes the last flicker of light in Idilia. In a desperate race against time, these unlikely heroes embark on a perilous quest, their every step fraught with danger. The fate of Idilia rests upon their shoulders, and the very balance of creation hangs in the precarious balance.Lengkap
The Fall of the Cursed (Completed)
*Completed September 2019* Formerly The Faet Within ⚠️MATURE CONTENT⚠️ Isobel is the Princess of the Eastern Fae Kingdom, known to humans as England and Scotland. She would much rather spend her time in her garden back at the castle, but instead she's at the reception for a human royal wedding.

Austin wants nothing to do with this so-called "royal wedding" and the humans he would have to interact with. As Prince of the Western Fae Kingdom or Ireland and Wales to the humans, he had better things to do than to waste it at a party, stuck with doddering old grandmothers doting on the bride or wistfully remembering their younger days. It made him want to jab an ice pick in his ear. When Isobel and Austin are pushed together, they make a deal that will change their lives forever. Will they overcome the obstacles fate seems to keep throwing at them? Or will it be the downfall of them all? Copyright © 2020 by Hannah Napady All Rights ReservedLengkap

Rumerra - The Journey Begins
Since she was a little girl, Velvet has been reading stories about great wizards and witches of Rumerra's past, wishing every night to wake up one day and be blessed with the affinity for magic herself. Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against her. Both her parents had no magic and thus the chances of her developing it are slim at best. But the gods of fate smile upon her one day when she receives her mark of light, thus becoming a light witch. Acquiring magic is only the first step, however. After this comes the grueling and life-long task of mastering it. We accompany the young witch as she sets out on a journey of self-discovery, full of magic and wonder - or so she thought. Velvet quickly starts realizing that the world of Rumerra is not like the worlds she got to know in her stories at all. Compared to her hometown of Simula, Rumerra at large is vast and unforgiving. From the frigid tundra of the Frozen North to the craggy hills of Eldrasit, and the vast forests of the elven lands, Velvet encounters mercenaries, dragons, and a vast array of other creatures, all of which seem eager to demonstrate that the world is far more cruel and unforgiving than she thought. Good and evil are not so easily told apart, not everyone is to be trusted, friends can die and a happy ending is all but guaranteed. Will Velvet be able to find her place in such a world? Can she become the hero she admired in her storybooks and pass on her knowledge of magic to others as she always wanted? Or will the cruel reality shatter her illusion and bring the girl to her knees?Lengkap
