There are plenty of words a mother could use to describe her son. Dashing, witty, handsome or strong. If someone were to ask Ximena Armstrong, however, only one of her boys would be introduced in such a proud light. If they asked about the other one, they would receive a strained compilation of complaints that he is vile, twisted, or a hateful beast. There are two sides to every story, though. What made a mother turn her back so quickly?
No one has ever gotten close enough to either party to ask for their side. One thing is for certain, Griffin Emiliano is a dangerous man, and Ximena Armstrong is a pathological liar.
Yet on an uneventful day in Betrothal, a group set out to find the answers to all the possible questions anyone could ask. When they find two boys, an anklet and a pile of bodies, there are too many questions to ask and not enough time for the answers before the doors are busted in and everyone is a suspect.

Poison of Vengeance
Four years after the death of his fiancée, Kalin is still stuck in the past, unable to move on. When he hears a rumor about a gemstone with the power to bring people back to life, he believes he found a solution to all of his problems. He decides to hire a Hunter to help him find the gemstone, but there is one problem-the Hunter in question turns out to be the very man who killed his fiancée. Lance never shied away from a job, no matter how shady or illegal it was. Killing people, making dangerous poisons, working as a Hunter to spy and get dirt on people-he's done it all. So when the leader of the Hunters' Guild asks him to find some magical gemstone, he has no reason to refuse. Until his client tries to kill him, at least. Driven by his desire for revenge, Kalin wants nothing more than to see Lance dead-except to bring Lydia back to life, something he cannot do without Lance's help. But when he teams up with the arrogant Hunter, he realizes there's more to him than meets the eye-and he might get a lot more than what he bargained for. ◇◇◇ STARTED: 6/4/2024 FINISHED: TBA Cover and banners created by the wonderful @-DeeIsDead- ♡

A Heart's Long Journey
A love built over a lifetime. A separation that left nothing but scars. And a truth that was never meant to be found. Nate and Keen grew up together, believing there was nothing in the world strong enough to tear them apart. They were best friends. Family. And eventually, something neither of them could deny-a love that had quietly followed them from childhood into adulthood. Then, one night, everything changed. Nate disappeared, leaving Keen behind with unanswered questions, broken promises, and a heart that refused to let him go. Years pass. Keen has learned to live with the absence of the person he once believed would always be beside him. Until Nate returns. Alive. Changed. Standing at the center of a life Keen no longer recognizes. What should have been a second chance at the love they lost instead becomes the beginning of something far more dangerous. Because Nate isn't the only one hiding the truth. Behind their families' wealth and power lies a history of betrayal, revenge, violence, and secrets buried so deeply that uncovering them could destroy everything they thought they knew about themselves-and each other. As the past begins to surface, Nate and Keen are forced to confront the one question neither of them is prepared to answer: How do you love someone when the truth between you could destroy you both? Some loves survive distance. Some survive betrayal. But some have to survive the truth first.
𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐞
🌙 Seventeen-year-old Luan Dervishi has always known one truth: if the world doesn't kill you, the people in it will. Abandoned, hunted, and betrayed by the only family he ever had, Luan didn't fall off that cliff, he jumped. Death was the plan. But fate doesn't care about plans. Instead of silence and oblivion, Luan awakens in a world that shouldn't know his name, yet somehow, it does. Dragged through a portal by something ancient and watching, he lands in a realm where cities breathe secrets, maps rewrite themselves, and power answers to him like an echo long buried. A power that isn't his, yet fits him too well. A power the rulers, outcasts, and monsters of this world would do anything to claim. He didn't ask for a second chance. He didn't want one. Now, bound to a magic that pulses with memory and intent, Luan is being pulled deeper into a story written long before his birth, one that wants him to play hero, saviour, maybe even king. But Luan isn't here to be anyone's symbol. As cities fall and truths rot from the inside out, Luan walks a road twisted by loyalty, vengeance, and a past even he can't fully recall. Because in this world of gods, ghosts, and fractured fate, not everything that bleeds is alive... ...and not everything that lives deserves to. 🌑 "Is this the part where I'm supposed to kneel?" "You were never meant to kneel." "Good. Because I didn't come to worship your gods. I came to bury them." ---------------------------- Book [1-???] (BEING REWRITTEN!!)
SAFE IN HIS DANGER

Now there are eyes watching him, Shadows trailing him. And the man he saved? He keeps showing up - rich, unreadable, and armed with secrets. Chanon lives in a world where violence is currency and loyalty is tested by blood. But something about the quiet boy who saved his life makes him want to break the rules. This is a story of danger and tenderness, of trust slowly earned and violently tested - of two hearts caught between silence and survival.
