"Death won't be the end for me." Her eyes burned. Against the quivering candlelight, they looked just like a deadly flame, as if she carried a thirst for blood. "I will find you, and I will kill you."
Ridley scoffed and brought himself up from the crouched position, rising from the ground. His eyes fell back to the tray of food and once again a pitying grin found his lips. "I shall wait for that day, then. Though, I worry it may never come."

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

✧The Earthe of the Elves✧
"Upstairs!" I hear a yell and pounding footsteps. I crawl out of the window until I'm hanging from my hands. I take a breath. I let go. ~ Living in a small town with a single mother, Mia Glenn never expected anything special to come of her life. She never thought she would go on an adventure as harrowing as the stories she read. Until one day she narrowly avoids being kidnapped, discovering in the same day a whole new universe that she is supposedly a part of. As she navigates the elven world of Earthe with the help of a particularly attractive elf boy, she learns secrets about her identity and her father's, of whom she believed had ditched her and her mom at an early age. Soon Mia discovers that peace isn't as easy as it seems, and while Earthe may be beautiful, there are dark parts that are creeping back to the light. Even in a world of perfect beings such as elves, lies can be spun as precisely as an arrow can pierce a target, and evil can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Mia is used to reading about this kind of stuff, not living it. Safe to say she finds herself in one hell of an adventure. - - TW: if you need a tw for fighting, violence, weapons, blood, death, etc. I would read with caution (I don't get into any gory details, but there are scenes w/ this) I will put tw's for the more violent scenes.Complete

"Afraid of me? Why are you so afraid, princess?" He placed his hand on the wall next to her head, effectively trapping her between his body and the cold stone. "I'm not afraid of you," she lied, her voice steady despite the tremble in her hands. "I'm not afraid of anything." He chuckled darkly. "You should be." His lips barely brushed against hers in a tantalizingly soft touch. She froze on the spot, her legs refusing to move. He took advantage of her daze, closing the remaining gap and crushing his lips against hers.Complete
A Maid's Final Gambit
Do you believe in magic? Or perhaps in science... or even the afterlife? What if all of them were true? What if death was never the end-only the beginning of something far more terrifying? Lyka, a 25-year-old woman from Manila, thought she could finally escape her miserable life-only to awaken in a strange kingdom called Redmarsh. Her name, her face, even her fate are no longer her own. Every time she tries to end it, the cycle drags her back. Again and again, she awakens to the same cruel loop-a world ruled by a merciless Duke, a life of endless servitude, and the unbearable torment of the abyss each time she returns. She wanted peace. Instead, she found a prison. But deep within the cycle lies a secret-one that could grant her freedom... or bind her to this nightmare forever. Will Lyka uncover the truth and find her way out? Or is she destined to remain trapped in a loop where she never truly belonged?
