In the magical planet of Adamite, the three most powerful kingdoms rule over the smaller clans of the land. There exists the Sapphire Kingdom of the Elves, The Kingdom of Ezamore of the Pyras, and The Kingdom of Lamia of vampires.
Historical warfare determined the reputation of Lamia as the Kingdom where selfish, animalistic vampires live. In the last years of the war, an alliance between Ezamore and Sapphire was founded that rests on the obligatory marriage of the Prince of Sapphire with the Princess of Ezamore.
Today, current Prince of Sapphire Artemis Lyra holds reign over the kingdom and is betrothed to the Princess of Ezamore. Artemis leads a life of routine and responsibility, and he must act the way his people expect him to. Composed, serene, and with an absolute duty to their traditions.
His life, however, takes a sudden twist when he becomes involved with the king of Lamia outside of diplomatic circumstances. Everything he thought he knew about vampires is changing, but he refuses to accept the changing of his heart.
Can he let go of his prejudice and give the arrogant vampire king a chance to prove vampires can change? Will he change the way elves think and live? Or will he succumb to his traditions and stretch the broken bonds another century?

Her Name Was Magic
She was born from prophecy. She fell in love with a girl who wasn't in it. Eira was meant to save the realm or destroy it-depending on who you asked. Bound to a forgotten star, hunted by nobles, and feared by her own coven, she was trained to lead but never taught to feel. Then came Lyra: wild-hearted, vine-blooded, and utterly untouchable. A warrior with secrets of her own and eyes that made Eira forget every rule she'd ever followed. As rebellion brews and ancient magic stirs beneath the city, love might be their greatest power-or the thing that unravels them both. Witches. Queerness. Betrayal. Magic that blooms and burns. If the world ends, it'll be because Eira loved her anyway.Complete

Four years after the death of his fiancée, Kalin is still stuck in the past, unable to move on. When he hears a rumor about a gemstone with the power to bring people back to life, he believes he found a solution to all of his problems. He decides to hire a Hunter to help him find the gemstone, but there is one problem-the Hunter in question turns out to be the very man who killed his fiancée. Lance never shied away from a job, no matter how shady or illegal it was. Killing people, making dangerous poisons, working as a Hunter to spy and get dirt on people-he's done it all. So when the leader of the Hunters' Guild asks him to find some magical gemstone, he has no reason to refuse. Until his client tries to kill him, at least. Driven by his desire for revenge, Kalin wants nothing more than to see Lance dead-except to bring Lydia back to life, something he cannot do without Lance's help. But when he teams up with the arrogant Hunter, he realizes there's more to him than meets the eye-and he might get a lot more than what he bargained for. ◇◇◇ STARTED: 6/4/2024 FINISHED: TBA Cover and banners created by the wonderful @-DeeIsDead- ♡

Calm Me Down (girlxgirl)
Theia, Queen of the North, ruled with a composure as refined as it was ruthless. Whispers of her name drifted through the kingdom like winter's breath, sharp, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore. She was something far more dangerous, a ruler forged in frost and blood, whose mercy was seldom granted and never expected. Lamia arrived as nothing more than a whisper of misfortune, rescued from a life of cruelty best left buried and delivered into service within the palace walls. Unwanted, unseen, and achingly alone, she knew better than to draw attention, especially from a Queen whose favor could elevate or destroy with a single glance. But courts are treacherous places, where power is a game and hearts are liabilities. For beneath the Queen's polished restraint lies a storm not easily tamed, and Lamia, fragile yet unbroken, may be the only one who dares to stand within it. In a kingdom where loyalty is fleeting and the past never loosens its grip, one truth lingers... Even the most graceful courts are built upon blood.Complete

Rowans Choice
Completed ✨👸🏼 Born to the fairy elite, the royal line, next in line to take the crown, a queen to be announced on her next birthday, with her royal responsibilities and...one choice... only one... everything else has always been decided for her. "Who has Princess Rowan chosen to be her eternal mate?" A question, oh a question, It was already whittled down by the draw upon her birth, a family name picked at random, to keep this fairy line fair, hardly fair to the one picking, to do so from such a small pool of options. Luckily fairy families were large but as Rowan searched the faces in front of her, five brothers... all handsome, all rather eager to take the beautiful Princess's hand... it was the sister, stood to the left, observing, that caught Rowans eye and if she only got this one choice then it was clear. She had read the rules, many, many times, they clearly state to pick from the chosen families kin, sixteen years and over only, nothing on the gender, not that it had ever been done before but rules were rules and Rowan smirked as she let her choice roll over her tongue. She would choose the one thing her father would be most furious about but couldn't change, her choice, and no other fairy, king or not could change it. "Andromeda" she would announce, finger flexed toward her, and the entire kingdom would erupt in the great hall with shock, as Andromeda of the sky line, was pushed forward by her mother into the mix with her brothers. "Rowan" her father would curse "if you place that ring on her finger your line has ended... please rethink your choice" But Rowan didn't care... and Andy had called out to her long before now, the beautiful brunette with striking green eyes, a daring smile and a powerful magic that Rowan had long admired. And after all... it was Rowans choice... to hell with the rules. *I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR THIS BOOK TO BE COPIED, OR ADAPTED ON THIS PLATFORM, OR ANY OTHER, BY ANYONE ELSE* *Completed February 2023*Complete
