	The princess of Niveus is cursed. Overflowing with magic she can't control, the young heir sets her kingdom on a path of despair, and consequently invites misfortune and death into her midst. A fire burns within her, one that will turn the whole world to ash if it is to be unleashed.

	Or so Felix was told by the queen of the opposing kingdom of Furvus. He is given a simple task: kill the princess and in return, he will be pardoned from the consequences of his countless murders. Being an assassin raised to do nothing but kill, he sets out eager to complete his mission and earn his freedom. The price of one girl's blood is a small one to pay if it means he can get away from his past.

	But the truth is not so black and white, and Felix finds his attention snatched away from his mission by the mystery behind Princess Aiko. When her attendant and seer promises him knowledge in exchange for his service, he must choose between his mission and his safety. As tensions arise between Felix, himself, and his kingdom, he learns that he must trust the very center of his problems if he wants to make it out alive. Together, he and Aiko might be able to uncover the truth behind her curse and put a stop to the plot of Furvus's power-hungry Queen.

The price of freedom was steep, but she can find no fault in paying it. That is, until the shadows start to stir and trouble finds her once more. When Felix--her friend and former assassin--is taken, Aiko is faced with a difficult choice: to let him go or to risk her life to save his. The farther she wanders from the safety of Niveus, the deeper she wades into the truth of the phoenix god and its Ember Core. All actions have consequences, and the primordial gods are not so forgiving to those that disrupt their order for selfish humanity. With the destruction of the Ember Core, the world between worlds is crumbling, and the Core Reapers are desperate to mend it--no matter what it costs the human realm. Held captive for meddling with the Core, Felix finds himself at the mercy of the Reapers to pay for Aiko's mistakes. With time and the gods against her, Aiko races to rescue him before it's too late. However, she won't have to do it alone. Magic abounds where Cores are born, and Niveus is not the only kingdom with a god-given gift. She joins forces with another Bright Soul: a young girl on a similar quest to find her missing sister. Together, they may be able to mend the world between worlds and save the ones they care for most. But the price of freedom is always a little more than one is willing to pay. ~𝐒𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 ~Completed!

Despair: The Vampire King's Mate by Empress_A

Prologue: I woke up lying on a cold surface. I can smell the sweetest scent of roses. I can see lighted candles surrounding me in the dim light. The shadow of the rumored creature, who was so desperate for his death, is nearing me. In partial darkness, I can see his fiery red glimmering eyes and the sadness beneath it as well. "My queen," a mellow voice, emanating from him, echoed through my ears, "and my end." Could this be his final greetings? - Overview: Vladmyr Kingdom, an estate of overflowing vengeance. Yfel Kingdom, the worst of Vladmyr Kingdom's enemies, has been ruthlessly disrupting serenity in all of the country's kingdom over the century. It is led by the faceless, rumored inhumane, and most vicious ruler of the history. The past decades, however, has been strangely peaceful as the Yfel Kingdom lies low from unwielding battles. What could have triggered its silence? The heroine, a Vladmyr Kingdom trooper, only seeks to recollect her family which was dismantled by the war among the kingdoms. Little did she know, as soon as she steps inside the battlefield, she faces a dead end. There shall be no escape, for her fate has been decided. Persons, and 'paranormal' creatures, shall cross her path. Impressions shall pop out in a snap. Reality shall be revealed. Her role has been written; a vital one that may either bring end to the catastrophe or further accelerate the annihilation of the kingdoms.
