Calliope
"It's my curse, and my duty. I have to do it, Azrael!" I cried out from the other side of the room, as the ground shook and cracks formed in the tiles. I was terrified. Terrified of what might happen to me, in the scenario that this fails. If I fail, I'd be haunted by her forever. I couldn't - wouldn't, let myself succumb to her. This was my fight. "Princess, I swear, if anything happens to you, I'll go crazy. Just stop!" Azrael shouted above all the noise. While I was lost in thought, everything had become more chaotic. The storm outside, the lightning and thunder that made me jump everytime it occured. All it took was one leap of faith. One risk to take, and I'd be rid of her forever. -------------------------- Calliope Solace - the princess nobody knew existed. Since birth and until the age of fourteen, her father, the emperor, kept her locked up in a palace in hopes nobody would find out about her existence, and most importantly, the threat her touch brought. One touch is all it took for a living being to wither and fall in the hands of death - one touch, more deadly than a hundred swords. Callie couldn't be more loving despite her deadly curse. She believed in the fairytales and the happily ever afters, which is why she didn't rebel or complain even after learning that, through marriage, she'd be shackled to the sadistic emperor who loved nothing more than to see people suffer; Azrael Ivanov. What she didn't know, was that Azrael had his own reasons to marry her, in the pursuit of vengeance and revenge to her father. [A/N] This is book 2, continuing in the same universe as 'Althea' my previous book. This is Callie's (Aias' sister's) book! However, it can be read as a standalone!

Red's Wolves
Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son. Even a kingdom over, the whispers of the canny princess the people feared as fae reached royal ears. But they thought to use her to their advantage...to put fear in their own people's hearts and make them bend the knee. Now with the kingdom at war with the prince she would have married, Alera must save the people who feared her from an unspeakable fate brought to their door by the sullen prince wielding a dark unknown power. -------------------- Cover by Tina Glasneck ©2022 M.Dalto Published to Wattpad 06.01.2022 Completed 03/30/2023Complete
