The Vampire's Crimson Kiss (Editing)
Victoria is given by her father, the King of the Barren Lands, to the Vampire Duke Sadisman as a hostage. She is a gift from her people as a peace offering. As part of the bargain, Duke has promised, "She will not be sired, she will not be fed upon, she will not be tasted, her skin will remain unbroken, and her chastity unchallenged by those under my domain." Victoria's life as the only human guest in the vampire's Black Keep, which humans call the 'Cradle of Filth,' isn't as simple as she hopes. The Duke is a cruel, dangerous man, as lethal as he is strong, and as troubled as he is scalding hot. A man comfortable with breaking a promise if it suits him but smart enough not to lightly restart a bitter war that weakens his coven. He is also the master of an ancient, powerful vampire coven. In it, Victoria must find a way to survive in a nest of remorseless plotters and schemers. Over time, Victoria withstands Sadismann's punishments and learns a grudging respect for him. She makes friends with some of the human familiars, and with them, she must uncover the truth. Is The Duke unraveling the centuries of pain and learning to feel something he has not felt before? Or is this another plot within a plot? While she knows the vampire treachery, Victoria begins to feel emotions she is scared of. Can she survive her year as a hostage to the vampire overlord? Can the vampire overlord survive a year without breaking his vows? Book #1 of the Crimson Crown series. Currently Editing and in Revision, upgraded chapters weekly.

Blade of Will
Cornelia Aurora Estawrozai, wielder of the royal family's magic and heir to the Lasmorthian throne... doesn't exist. The day she was born, she had a sister-an identical twin, born mere minutes later. What should have been a moment of joy quickly turned to dread. It was only the second time in Lasmorthian history that identical twins were born into the royal line, and the first time had ended in betrayal and civil war. Both twins had shared equal magic, but a rewritten contract ensured only the elder's bloodline would inherit it. That didn't stop the younger from turning on his brother, fracturing the kingdom in two. So this time, there was no celebration. There was fear. To prevent history from repeating itself, it was decided: the younger twin would be sent away. The elder would remain-but stripped of her inheritance. The royal magic would instead pass to a younger brother yet to be born. But their mother had other plans. Following a cryptic prophecy from the Oracle, she made a fateful choice. The twins were switched. The eldest, magic and all, was cast out. And the world never knew. Now, that girl-who named herself Sky-lives free of titles, crowns, and destiny. After escaping an abusive adoptive family and discovering her dormant power, she joined a guild of assassins led by a secretive, enigmatic master. Trained in magic, shadow, and steel, Sky has one goal: to be strong enough to choose her own fate. Whether she returns to claim the power stolen from her is not for others to decide. The throne may call to her. But only she will choose whether to answer.![|[ DEATH'S APPRENTICE ]|](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/15129669-256-k377137.jpg)

Chronicles of the Celestial Void.
Chronicles of the Celestial Void "In a universe woven from divine threads and swallowed by an infinite abyss, the balance of existence hangs by a single, fraying seal." For eons, the celestial realm has known a fragile peace, maintained by the unwavering strength of the Archangels and the ancient seals that keep the Void at bay. But the silence is breaking. Deep within the forgotten abyss, a chilling presence is stirring, and a laughter long thought lost is beginning to echo through the darkness. The cracks in reality are appearing, and the hunger of the Void is growing. As the heavens tremble and the ancient war reignites, a trio of unlikely allies finds themselves caught in the eye of the cosmic storm. Bound by a connection that defies the very laws of fate, they must navigate a landscape of shifting loyalties and terrifying truths. They are warriors, they are companions, and they are the only thing standing between the light and an eternal, consuming nothingness. But in a realm where destiny is preordained and the gods themselves are watching, can anyone truly claim to be free? As the divine sigils dim and the shadows lengthen, they must discover if their bond is strong enough to mend a broken cosmos or if they are simply the next sacrifices to the cycle of destruction. The seals are failing. The Void is watching. And the true story of the universe is only just beginning.Complete
