In the heart of the Empire of Glass, where every whisper echoes louder than a scream, lies a tale of love, revenge, and the ultimate game of power. Assassins lurk in the shadows, their blades thirsty for blood, but amidst the chaos, one rises above the rest, driven by a singular purpose: to settle the score.

Meet the Assassin, a figure shrouded in mystery and legend, whose skill knows no equal. Tasked with a mission that could shatter kingdoms, he walks a treacherous path, haunted by his past and fuelled by the desires.

Opposing him stands the Princess, a beacon of light in a world veiled in darkness. Raised to be a Queen, she holds a secret that could cost her everything: a forbidden love that defies the laws of the Empire. With every breath, she risks exposure, but for the sake of her beloved, she will stop at nothing to protect him.

Caught in the crossfire is the Chessmaster, a master manipulator with a heart set on fire. Armed with the power to control souls like pawns on a chessboard, he orchestrates a deadly game of love and vengeance, where every move could mean life or death.

As their paths intertwine and destinies collide, the Empire of Glass trembles on the brink of war. In a battle for love and power, who will emerge victorious, and who will be left to pick up the shattered pieces of their broken hearts?

In "Undead Prince," the stakes are high, the intrigue is intense, and the only certainty is that in the game of thrones and hearts, no one is safe. Brace yourself for a journey into a world where betrayal lurks around every corner and where the echo of a single choice can change the fate of an empire.

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing.

Valsteeds Assassin by purplekushbabe
41 parts Complete Mature
Vixen Nightbloom is an assassin feared across kingdoms, a blade honed in darkness and blood. Trained by the ruthless Alaric, who shaped her into his perfect weapon, Vixen has spent her life running from her past, haunted by shadows and the faces of those she's killed. When she's captured and chained, stripped of her powers and caged within Shadow lock prison, Vixen must navigate a deadly game of alliances and betrayals, playing the roles of prisoner, protector, and something far more dangerous. King Malachi and his captain, Ezra, are torn between their desire to keep Vixen close and the growing fear that she's far more than she appears. Bound to them by fate, secrets, and bonds they don't fully understand, Vixen struggles to keep her fractured past buried. But when whispers of rebellion surface, and Alaric returns to reclaim her as his weapon, Vixen's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. Caught between the loyalty of those who would kill for her and the men who would die to save her, Vixen must confront the truth she's buried for so long-her destiny as the last heir of a fallen kingdom and the power that lies dormant within her blood. As the lines between enemy and ally blur, and the pull of a long-forgotten throne beckons, Vixen must decide whether to rise from the ashes or let the darkness consume her once more. In a world where trust is a fragile illusion and power comes at a deadly price, Vixen's next move could save a kingdom-or destroy it.

*(Dimitri's story) Can be read as a standalone novel* (It is a story mostly about humans and a few supernatural characters.) Pause, Rewind, Play is a story of four broken people who have lived, loved and lost. Alyanna Rosellini's life is on pause because of a murderer on the loose. Only being able to live through the present by holding on to the past while hoping for a better future, she will do anything she can to go back to her old life. Even if it is to act as bait to draw out the killer. Jayden Carlton is in a relationship with two women - his dead childhood sweetheart and a woman who won't leave him alone. Everyone has only one piece of advice for him - go to therapy and move on. But that advice is applicable to people who want to get better, not Jayden. How can he, when moving on also means letting go? Katerina Van Acker has a heart of gold but the world convinced her to use it sparingly. So she wore a bitchy attitude for armour, sharpened her tongue into a sword, and waged a war against it. But if she doesn't stop fighting, she might chase away everyone she cares about. And nothing short of her own guardian angel can convince her of that. Dimitri Volkov might be a prince but he is no guardian angel. Haunted by the memories of the one he was supposed to love and protect but ended up killing, he knows that he deserves no second chance. But fate has other plans. Now, his future rests in his shaky hands. Their life is on pause. The only way to move ahead is to reflect back on the past, learn from their mistakes, and make better choices this time around. Because with stakes higher than last time, they will either get everything they hoped for and more or lose more than their soul can bear.

ᴀɴ ɪꜱᴇᴋᴀɪ ꜰᴀɴᴛᴀꜱʏ ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ -: ̗̀➛ Awakening in a world beyond her own, she finds herself in a body she doesn't recognise - shattered, bruised, and bearing the name 𝒩𝒾𝓇𝓋𝒶𝓃𝒶 𝒱𝒶𝓁𝒹𝒾𝓈 𝒮𝒾𝓃𝒸𝓁𝒶𝒾𝓇. In this perilous new reality, survival becomes her only focus, as she grapples with the stark truth: her only power is what she can seize to protect herself. Powerless and alone, Nirvana's plans are born from sheer necessity rather than careful strategy. With nothing to her existence but a name and a broken body, she must forge her own path, uncovering the dark secrets of this world while clinging to the fragments of her former self. Trust is a luxury she cannot afford, and yet slowly but surely, there are those who would kill for her and those who might die because of her. But 𝒜𝓁𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓇 𝑀𝒶𝓍𝒾𝓂𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒾𝒶𝓃 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓃𝑒 is neither ally nor enemy - he is an enigma she cannot ignore. Once a boy of striking beauty, his fleeting, tender glances hinted at a curiosity she barely acknowledged. A decade later, he has transformed into a man hardened by the ruthless pursuit of the crown, his once-soft gaze now a burning desire that defies reason. His obsession with Nirvana is both relentless and terrifying. His pursuit becomes an unyielding storm that threatens to engulf them both, leaving nothing but chaos and destruction in its wake. What should be his undoing instead drives him deeper into madness, convinced that she is his by some cosmic right. Nirvana knows she should resist, that allowing this dangerous dance to continue could spell ruin for them both. Yet, the dark allure of his obsession, the haunting sweetness of the chaos he brings, draws her in against her will.

The world has been spread in darkness. The streets are empty. The wall that separates the mortal and magical realms is crumbling. ~ In a world cleaved in half, Rhiannon Ashton hunts to protect her family. When her sister is taken beyond the Wall that seperates the Mortal and Magical realms, Rhiannon vows to rescue her sister. As she crosses the wall, Rhiannon realises that nothing is as it seems. The mysterious Queen who rules the Kingdom, rumours of the promised one, a war that will rattle the stars... ~ "Listen to me," He said fiercely. "You know nothing about this place. This place, this is nothing like your mortal world. This is an empire. This is an empire of death. One wrong word, and girl, you will end up in a ditch somewhere, missing your intestines. Right now - your only ally is me. So, you better listen," His voice was contrite with barely controlled anger. "Why are you helping me?" There was only tiredness in my voice. He laughed, humourlessly. "You don't remember me?" He asked softly. I shook my head. "Rezial. You can call me Rezial," He said. He stood, a cloak billowing around him. His eyes were bright spots in the dark. "What happened to... - Was this place always like this?" I said. Rez paused in his stride, turning to face me. "Not always," He said. There was something almost like grief in his voice. He waved his hand again, the plate vanishing. A moment later, the shadows in the room gathered into one spot, the inkiness rising until he was completely covered in darkness that was somehow darker than the rest. The shadows disappeared, and he was gone.
