In the time of ancients, the mighty nation of Blathye knows riches unparalleled, palaces carved from gold-veined marble, roads paved from precious stones. Fruit grows fresh, fat and gleaming. Wine flows freely, red as blood. But the more lovely the façade, how much more terrible must the truth beneath it be?

The taint, the shadowy chasm cracking through this venerated empire, is said to lay within its very heart. The royal family, their lineage great and long and rife with madness, murder-and worse. Savages in silk, creatures in crowns. They are cursed, or so goes the story.All Rights Reserved

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

Bleeding Hearts by bbllaacckkaangel

"I take what I want, princess, no matter what." TRUTH is hidden behind the LIES. Secrets are buried within the secrets. Darkness lurks in the Light and Light breathes in the Darkness. A tale of "BLOOD, SACRIFICES, AND OATH" What will be the outcome when their worlds collide? Will they be each other's salvation or each other's demise? My works are the outcome of my wild and roller-coaster crazy imagination that I nurtured with dedication and great love. Cheap liberalism and unwanted feminism are neither appreciated here nor wanted. So, if you have some self-esteem issues then take it elsewhere because I will report and block every negative comment and commentator. I hold all the rights under my name and by all laws. So think before trying to copy/paste and plagiarism. Cheating doesn't sit well with me and I am not generous with forgiveness. Happy Reading :)

Ravenwood legends of alchemy by Dianajaprice

"My Mother lied to me." Angel stepped closer to me but i backed away "so did you" my bottom lip quivered "Jocelyn please." tears stung my eyes i tasted salt in my mouth when angel raised his hand to touch me i jumped back "No" i raised my hand and something happened leaving me shaken with fear "Oh my god." For Jocelyn her life was completely mundane until the death of her mother opens the doorway to a web of secrets involving her family and now she must navigate a world of witches warlocks and every other form of supernatural all while searching for a weapon that could eliminate all manner of demons including herself

Sorrow | 18+ by brocolisoeur

A tale of two sorrowful souls who crossed paths due to a trivial coincidence. His eyes will forever ravish her, his lips will leave eternal marks and one word will haunt her until she dies. She has learnt to be quiet and sweet. He has learnt to dominate and kill. She is trying to find herself from the depths of distray. He is planning to destroy what is needed for power. Falling in love will be too dangerous, too alluring. And in the end it will hurt. Breathing should be effortless, loving should be painless. What does a girl who has learned neither? When you find home in the arms of a killer, to whom you cannot tell your secrets, without risking yourself. And why would you risk anything for a man who believes bullets can fix a broken heart.

Destiny's Fallen Rebirth by VerahAeiry

"Drop your guard, and you're as good as dead." A reply from someone who shouldn't have a clue about war speaks out of the impending doom before her. "Bold thing coming from the royal's daughter. I wouldn't want to hurt you too badly." A cocky response only made the woman laugh. "Beg for mercy." The former villainess slain by the royal champions was reborn as the royal champions' child. Only vengeance resided in her heart for her perfect world all over again ♡SLOW BURN♡ 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞: - Mature/Strong Language - Mature Content - Sex/Smut (Detailed) - Substances (Alcohol, drugs, etc) - Abuse - Other Possible Triggers - Trauma - Gore

Nocturne 18+ by rosa_lidia

COMPLETED✔️ What follows is a violent clash of worlds, where elegance is destroyed by brutality and innocence is trapped by a darkness far deeper and more dangerous than anything she imagined. Her dream of becoming the greatest ballerina, praised by her parents and supported by a loving friend was once the perfect vision of her life. But fate with its cold indifference doesn't follow the paths we choose. Instead it controls our lives. In one sudden turn her world is flipped upside down and she meets a man who is nothing like the one she dreamed of. He is ruthless, consumed by his own ego, a mystery to all who encounter him. His abilities are beyond comparison, his morals fractured and ambiguous, and his true intentions buried beneath a veil of darkness. Where once she believed her life was guided by passion and elegance, she now finds herself thrust into a world governed by dominance and brutality, where survival no longer hinges on talent or grace but on submission to a far more unforgiving force.

It's been ten years, Eliza does what she can to earn money to help her family, including finding a way to count cards in gambling casinos. Little does she know the wizarding world has taken their own interest in the muggle community. And she gets caught cheating by casino CEO, Fennic Malfoy. Updated weekly cause I have no life. Credits go where they need to. JKR. WB. Blah blah. Avalanche. Shiver. I'm tired.

Different in the Dark by blueice1803

In her dreams, he was kind, sincere, and affectionate. But when she awoke, he was Leader of the Villains. And she was still a Hero. Heroes and Villains, good and bad, truth and lies. Was it that simple? When was the world stripped of its vibrancy, becoming all black and white? Perhaps things would look a little different in the dark. How many lines would blur in the light of fire? And how many secrets would be brought to light?
