The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete

The Echos of Scars (English Version)
They stole her childhood. She forged her revenge. But survival... is learning to love. Lyra thought she'd left everything behind when she fled Russia: the chains of a ruthless cartel, the orders of a soulless father, and the muffled cries of a stolen life. But some ghosts cross borders. Replicated in Spain under a new identity, she can no longer flee when the past comes back to strike. Hard. And bloody. Madrid becomes the scene of a deadly game where alliances waver, where underground war rumbles, and where the legend of a faceless specter resurfaces: the Devil's Daughter. Between betrayals, strategies, and desperate missions, Lyra must face her destiny... and an enemy she never dared to face: her own family. In the midst of this chaos, Draven, a Madrid lawyer with an all-too-honest gaze, will break through all her defenses. He has nothing to do with her world. And yet, he will be her truth in the midst of turmoil. But love when you're made of blades and silence... is it even possible? As blood flows, masks fall, and secrets turn like double-edged swords, Lyra, Isaak, Ash, Nox, and Skylar will have to make a choice: revenge, or freedom. Because sometimes, the greatest fight... isn't against others. It's against the scars we carry within.
