Bacco Valley is a seaside town built on poison. Its hidden rulers farm and distribute Third Legacy, volatile plants with dark, ancient origins. The town is populated mostly by the four-armed tol race.

Beanie is one of three Suopex - underbosses in a criminal organisation. He dreams of Bacco Valley becoming the start of a great tol empire. This ambition is contested among his peers, however, and has created tension between them.

Cariella, the teen-aged daughter of another Suopex, wants nothing more than to distance herself from the isolated town's horrible truth. She hopes to escape her family and live among good people.
 
When a distant threat one day puts Bacco Valley in danger, events are set in motion that could make Beanie and Cariella reluctant allies. The two tol are starkly different: One is experienced, aggressive, violent and ambitious. The other is young, sensitive, unorganised and compassionate. Yet both have an iron will, refusing to let go of what they want.

The Poison Pearl is a high-fantasy mob drama which follows two non-human points of view. It's a character-driven story about power, leadership, family and pride.

This is the first book of a trilogy. All books must be read in chronological order as you may not understand what is happening and I will not be responsible for the caused confusion. ~~~~~~~~~ BRIELLE One night turned into a complete fiasco that seemed to haunt her to the present day. Brielle Hansley was the picture-perfect girl with perfect grades, a reserved job offer and a boyfriend who seemed perfect. At first. Her life couldn't have been any better until her sister got engaged to the man whose brother she knew better than she desired. It was only a month, she told herself. A month under the same roof and then everything would go back to normal. But as she starts to discover new secrets that seem to intertwine her life with his, she doubts she will ever be able to forget the man with whom a one-night stand seemed too good to be true. ~~~~~~~~~ NICOLAS Nicolas Salucci, the heir to the Italian Cosa Nostra was reserved and couldn't confide in anyone. It seemed like his life would continue to be as shallow and dark as his father made it to be until he met her. After overhearing a scheme which could end Nicolas's life, she demanded only a single night. One that he was tempted to give her and did. Only, he didn't think that that one night would cost him his entire heart. The woman was everything he desired and more. Yet he despised her. His father had chosen a woman for him to marry yet how could he marry someone whom he had no feelings for? As verities begin to arise, Nicolas begins to realise that maybe he only hated himself for falling for a woman he couldn't have. And a woman that quickly became his forbidden desire... ~~~~~~~~~ Warning!!! Includes explicit sexual scenes, strong language, mature content, and mentions of suicide.

Darker than Darkness

48 parts Ongoing Mature

An anuseena fanfic.... We're familiar with stories of heroes and villains, where innocence collides with deception, and the stark contrasts between good and evil shine through. Yet, it's often the darker tales of unrelenting malice that go untold... What happens when two of the most vile souls cross paths? Loyalties fracture, boundaries disintegrate, and a seething hatred ignites a firestorm of destruction. She is calculating, a master manipulator who twists minds to her will. He is brutal, a force of annihilation who leaves nothing but ruin in his wake. She is lethal, weaving a web of intrigue, seduction, and deceit. He is merciless, wielding his power with a clenched fist, crushing anyone who dares oppose him. Together, they plunge into a world where morality is irrelevant, and the very concept of villainy becomes unrecognizable. Each believes they are the greater evil, but as their dark alliance deepens, it raises a chilling question: who, in the end, is the true villain? As their fates become increasingly entwined, the line between good and evil fades away, revealing a startling truth: Even Lucifer, in all his glory, can be driven to loneliness.
