One tale. One journey. Five cities. 

Enter the blockbuster world of Magrav.

Where lies, dreams and desires twist into a life of secrets... and retellings of long lost stories, for those who dare listen.

A world of legends, waiting to be told, and of winds, who carry the darkest secrets of all.

----------------------------

The Island of Magrav, inhabited by the humans and surrounded by the Caryddian Sea, is isolated from the rest of the forgotten world.

The Magravians, a noble human dynasty who crossed the Sea to the Island eons before, built an Empire, a rigid society with no tolerance for chaos.

For centuries, the Empire prospered, each of its five cities basking in riches.

But what happens when the old legends surface again?

What happens when the secrets get out?

Will the hierarchical society stay intact, or will it buckle under the face of the horrific, long forgotten truths their ancestors had fled to avoid?

----------------------------

The first book in the upcoming series, The Magravian Chronicles.

Earlier known as Devil In Disguise!! "Has anyone ever kissed you, Maria?" He said with a low voice. Well, that got my attention. I was unable to say anything. His one hand slowly moved from my thigh to my neck with a firm grip but not enough to cut my air supply. Oh lord, now I am wet. He leans to my ear saying, "Tell me, do you like being choked, Maria?" Well shit. ***************** Maria is just another girl who is now out of college and searching for a job. She is a people's pleaser and knowing her past very little, she believes what others tell her blindly. However, knowing her family she has to sacrifice some things in life. But is that sacrifice worth it? When the cold-hearted Mafia boss married Maria who is unknown to his world from the start, takes care of him, he finds himself being cared for. He never behaves as if he is a mob boss when she is around, never showing his emotions to others but in front of her, he was all hers. Alessandro having a dark past makes Maria curious about what he does. Will she find out or be oblivious to it? ***************** COMPLETED Highest ranking 1# in darkthemes 1# in sexualthemes 1# in possessive 2# in dark 4# in marriage 7# in kink 7#in Italian 22# in lies ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!!

A Mafia's Possession(Completed) by Adaririchichi

"Would you have killed that young boy!? Over a fucking purse!?"I shot back. It was a stupid temerity but I was willing to take the risk. "I would do whatever it takes to show that I call the shots"He menacingly replied. "Even with you"His voice dropped to a dangerously low tone. "Now you are just acting like a possessive and dominating freak"I replied with a roll of my eyes and a hiss. In a fluid motion, he quickly grasped my braids, dragging it. My eyes widened and I held on to his arm, wincing. "That's because I am. I own you. You belong to me. I'll always be the one you lust for and crave for. And if you try to act otherwise, I'll make sure I make you submit to me whether you like it or you don't"Raphael huskily replied, dragging my braids more. His words felt so sensual and yet so dangerous. I became weak in the knees and my breathing became rapid in pace. "And what if I don't want to submit to your orders, what will you do huh?"I taunted him. "Will you kill me? Shoot me? Stab me huh? Mr Raphael!?" I knew if I were to be someone else, I would have been dead by now. Raphael looked like he was seconds away from hitting me but I knew there was no way he would do that. "I won't kill you"came his raspy reply with his voice turning malicious, laced with cruelty. He pressed his body against mine and his hands fisted in my braids curling against my scalp. Shit. It was becoming extremely painful. "I'll punish you" In the blink of an eye, I felt his lips pressed forcely against mine. * * * * * * What if the hero in your story was the villain? A dangerous dark romance tale of two star crossed lovers fighting to keep their marriage and love in the midst of various deadly plots. But sometimes, the price of love can be death.

HIS MINI BEAR 2 by razzlestories

Like in the deck of cards, the Ace outranks the King-and so does Ace Salvatore. A Greek-Italian mafia leader feared by all, Ace is a man of unspeakable cruelty, a calculated mind ruling an empire built on blood and terror. His face is a mystery- those who've seen it are long gone, silenced by his wrath. Manipulative, controlling, psychotic, and untouchable, he rules his empire with an iron fist, his past buried beneath layers of bloodshed and regret. His obsession with power and control leaves no room for weakness-not in himself, not in his enemies, and certainly not in others. When a desperate debtor can't repay what's owed, he offers something unexpected to settle the score: a little girl. Ace accepts the deal, not out of need, but because curiosity flickers in his mind- a curiosity he loathes. Yet the little girl is more than just an innocent. She unknowingly awakens ghosts of Ace's past- a life of betrayal, loss, and secrets he swore to bury. Even monsters have scars. The darkness that shaped him, the wounds he carries, and the revenge that fuels his every decision begin to resurface. The past never truly stays buried. As their worlds collide, her presence becomes both his salvation and his torment. But as the past catches up, threatening to destroy everything, Ace must face a harrowing choice: cling to the monster he's become, or risk everything for the one thing he never thought he'd have- a chance at redemption. Will his darkness consume her and change her? Or will she destroy him? #First book got removed by wattpad so I am updating it again.

A plan that may have been centuries in the making. As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it?
