Calithea Vandeleur - the youngest child of the well-known alchemist, Charles Alaric Vandeleur - has wished for nothing more than to be accepted as an alchemist by her father's side. Although her skills are exceptional, whispers haunt her every step with curses of her being a witch. When her father is summoned by the grand duke to help with an illness that has plagued him for year, Calithea takes his place to assist the duke - only to find herself face to face with a beast in human form.
The Grand Duke of Kallistar- Drystan Evander Aldrich - has been living in hiding due to a curse that was placed upon him several years ago at his debut celebration. With each passing year, a source for a cure has yet to be discovered, making his temper even nastier than it already was - until word about a particular alchemist reaches his ears. Desperate for an answer at long last, he summons the alchemist - only to receive his daughter instead.
As the two pace around each other - one desperate to prove themselves worthy and the other desperate to be free - Drystan and Calithea find they are more alike than they realize. Thus the question forms - can two beings - one of darkness and one of light - truely find happiness, or are they doomed to be divided by their differences forever?

Beautiful Beast
My name is Kalista. They call me the beast. Kalista has been cursed by a powerful sorceress and is now a prisoner in her own palace. As petals fall from an enchanted rose, her fate and the sorceress's victory draw nearer. But Kalista refuses to be defeated so easily and uses her own magic to push against the bindings. Yet what if it is not enough and the only way the curse might be shattered is through the help of another? When Arawn crosses into the beast's domain, he has one motive: revenge for his brother's death. But as he draws nearer to the beast and is surrounded by invisible servants, magical banquets, and an enchanted forest, he realizes that this beast is much more complex and much more human than he first thought. As their paths intertwine, Kalista must risk opening her heart to another, while Arawn must learn to see past his hate and prejudice. Together, they struggle against spells, wolves, and time itself to break the curse. If they fail, Kalista will fall asleep and will never again wake.Concluida

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

Aeterna Noctis

Her rare blood is both a curse and a death sentence, and when it begins to claim her younger sister, she is left with one desperate choice. Her only hope lies in a whispered legend: a mysterious, reclusive patron of the night who can grant miracles for a price. The price is her freedom. Kaelen Valerius is ancient, powerful, and weary of eternity. When a mortal woman invokes his ancient pact, he expects another fleeting distraction. But Elara is different.

He offers her a year of servitude in his gothic estate in exchange for the medicine that can save her sister's life. Trapped in a world of shifting alliances and ancient feuds, Elara finds herself drawn to the enigmatic vampire lord. Every guarded glance is a battle, every accidental touch a spark that could ignite a dangerous passion. But as a deadly conspiracy rises from the shadows, threatening to burn their dark world to the ground, the line between prisoner and obsession begins to blur. In a game of blood and power, can a love born of desperation survive the coming dawn? Or will the secrets of the eternal night consume them both? ---
Threads of Fate
The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe.

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.Concluida
