An enemy of the country revives the legend of the 'sanguinaire' -- the legendary sword -- and kidnaps the Duke's daughter, too. So much for being an enemy. But what is his plans fail and if the kidnapping is for naught?
Lorette, the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Bourgogne, is a half-royal, and is known for her renowned beauty.
She tries to stay strong even as she is kidnapped to the country she hated the most -- England. And when she discovers that Alexander, a man who had been framed by his own bunch of friends, was the one who could help her get back to her hometown, she suppresses her pride and approaches him for help.
What happens when their paths cross? Would they still want to live life the way, or would they want to try a brand new route and experiment life with the one they really come to love?
What would life have to possibly offer them?

White Stag (PERMAFROST #1)
Don't show fear. Don't attract attention. Don't forget who the monsters are. Those are seventeen-year-old Janneke's three rules to surviving in the Permafrost. Her family is dead, her village burned to the ground, and now she's a slave in a court of merciless goblins. Though her master, Soren, offers her a small sphere of protection, it comes at the cost of abandoning humanity and their ways for good. When the Goblin King is defeated in a fight, it ignites an ancient competition to become the next King. The goal is simple: kill the sacred White Stag before the other goblins kill you. Soren sees it as the perfect opportunity to shape Janneke's acceptance of the goblins' way and give in to the hatred and violence festering inside of her. Janneke's only hope for survival is to outrun, outfight, and out-kill every creature in her path, all the while dealing with Soren, whose fierce desire for her to be a goblin is shadowed by his fascination for her human heart. Hunting the Stag is Janneke's best chance at revenge over those who enslaved her, but to succeed, she'll have to watch her humanity bleed out like the creatures she's sworn to kill. **CREDIT FOR THE WONDERFUL COVER GOES TO @seventhstar *** ***COMPLETED.

Once Upon a War (A Harry Potter AU)
I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER Once Upon a War is an alternate universe of Harry Potter, where I've reimagined iconic characters and their stories. Harry's a Desi Muggle Born raised in Canada. Hermione Lestrange is the daughter of Rodolphus and Bellatrix Lestrange, and their enemies-to-lovers arc is everything. Some things will feel familiar, but there will be a lot of new twists that make this world uniquely mine. If you're here for something different, you've come to the right place! 🌙 He was born of fire and grief. She was born of power and prophecy. This is not a love story. Not at first. Hari "Harry" Jaidev Potter is a Desi Muggleborn boy raised in a house filled with warmth, Hindi and Urdu lullabies, and loss. Orphaned by the war Voldemort waged on innocence, he carries both trauma and magic in his blood - the first of his family to ever step foot in Hogwarts, hidden in the forests of Ottawa. Hermione Geneviève Lestrange is a French pureblood heir, daughter of Rodolphus and Bellatrix, born to rule and raised to believe that blood defines worth Cold. Brilliant. Dangerous. She sees Muggleborns as less - until a fire-eyed Gryffindor challenges everything she's ever known. When a centuries-old prophecy awakens and war threatens to rise again, the two most unlikely students - a boy with no name and a girl with too many - must decide who they want to be: Enemies by legacy? Or partners in defiance? Together with Gryffindor Neville Remus Lupin and Luna Pandora Lovegood, they form the Golden Quartet - four students bound by fate, found family, and the undeniable magic of choice. Love will bloom. Blood will burn. And history will remember their names. ✨ Because once upon a time, in a world of war... a Muggleborn made a Lestrange believe in love. ✨ "You were raised to hate me," he whispered. "And yet here you are, bleeding for me." She met his eyes. "Maybe I was never truly theirs."Complete
