Black Roses on Her Grave
He was never meant to love her. She was never meant to survive him. ☾༺♰༻☽ Adelise has always been an outcast, scorned for her auburn hair and the curse it represents to the superstitious folk. When she crosses paths with Ares, a vampire who has spent half a century locked in solitude, she becomes entangled in a dangerous fate that neither of them can escape. Ares has vowed never to trust a human again, but something about Adelise threatens to unravel everything he thought he knew. At the heart of their story lies an ancient relic, a time puzzle crafted from shattered mirrors and forbidden magic. It does not merely reflect the past, it bends it, distorts it, and opens a doorway to a future neither of them expected. Across fractured timelines, their lives intertwine in ways they cannot fully understand, bound by love, fate, and the secrets the puzzle refuses to reveal all at once. A dark, gothic romance novella filled with longing, betrayal, and second chances, Black Roses on Her Grave poses the reader with one question: If you could change fate, would you? ☾༺♰༻☽ Ranked #1 in Vampire Romance (Jan 2026) Ranked #1 in Gothic Romance (Jan 2026) Wattpad Vampire Ambassador Recommended list (May 2026)Complete

Rina, a young Denese woman leaves her home in Eurora's northern outpost, Amadore, and travels to the capital, Nebia, determined to find a way to convince Mai and the Magisterium to free her people before they rise up.
