Damaris Drakkis has lived her whole public life at her father's greedy bidding. Poise, elegance, grace, and wit to make anyone understand you're not to be trifled with. But although her twin brother Damian is the one being groomed to take over the bloody throne, it's Damaris who is adept at the art of war and combat. When her father brings up her wedding as punishment, she does what any young lady would do: runaway and become a highway bandit.

Eric Löwenkind is the second prince of seven in his country, but someone is trying to kill him. In an effort to keep his freedom and his head, he takes his best friend and guard with him to find someone who can help. But the slight and hooded figure who robs him on the road is not who his friend wants him to pursue. When they meet again at a festival, Eric has to see for himself how good this secret blade master, Merit, truly is. He knows a hidden treasure when he finds one.

When kingdoms are at odds and war is brewing, the secrets she keeps could be her undoing. A fiance on the hunt for her, a bounty on the head of the bandit Merit, and assassins  around every corner... And how is Eric supposed to ask Damaris to the ball?

From The Ashes by EllisBeddoe
23 parts Ongoing Mature
"This is the truth, guarded by the ignorant and blind. This is the truth of our world and our history. The gods have abandoned us. And it is our fault." Two towns set alight, and unrest continues to stir the air, even after the ashes have settled. These events are not coincidental, nor will they be the last tragedy to befall the dark, bloody and war-stricken world of Tayrul. All know it, and all suspect, rightly, that these events are only the opening of a gate, allowing something much bigger and far more sinister to befall the already ailing world. Arvayn Bryvaris, a mysterious half-elven thief/assassin, decides to cut ties with a deadly assassin's guild in an attempt to free himself of the vile shadow of the abusive and manipulative Assassin King, and strives to clear his name of the blood of his past. He strikes a deal to steal a strange talisman for a Curseborn named Locke in exchange for his freedom. Only for this decision to - instead of end his path of struggles and strife as he intended - lead him down another. One to something far more deadly than he could have ever even imagined... Meanwhile, Fenris Alivar, a monster hunter known as a Duskguide from the city of Loridge, is pulled into investigating the town burnings, one of which resulted in the death of his mentor. Found evidence points to the Heirs Of The Phoenix, a sinister cult that plagues his past, as well as a vampiric child called Cherlen. Fenris is tasked with the interrogation of the vampire, and the apprehension of the cult. All at the tremendous price of facing his past demons in an all or nothing effort to avenge the brutal deaths of his loved ones, at the hands of his own blood.

In the bustling, modern metropolis of Valoria, magic flows beneath the surface, known only to a select few. For centuries, ancient families of magical bloodlines have controlled the city's fate, living among humans as powerful, secret societies. They have wealth, influence, and magic at their disposal. But what no one knows is that the source of their power comes from an ancient, forbidden ritual called the "Crimson Veil," which requires them to form unbreakable sexual bonds with those possessing rare magical traits. These bonds heighten their abilities and carry dangerous emotional and physical consequences, twisting love and desire into weapons. At the centre of this tangled web is Elena Ravenwood, a brilliant and ambitious journalist with no idea that she is the last of a forgotten bloodline-one that was destroyed in a bloody purge by the ruling magical families. When she stumbles upon a mysterious underground gathering, Elena's latent powers are awakened, and she quickly becomes the target of three powerful men, each from rival families: Meanwhile, a deadly prophecy comes to light: one that foretells that Elena, once fully awakened, will become the key to either restoring balance to the magical world or destroying it entirely.
