A dark academia retelling of Beauty and the Beast with laces of Greek mythology.
Lucy is human in a family of powerful sorcerers. Growing up sheltered, Lucy's life takes a turn for the worse when her sister falls victim to a deadly spell.
Hell bent on saving her sister, Lucy marries into a dangerous family of sorcerers and moves to an old gothic chateau in the middle of France, only to find her fiancé is not quite the monster she expected. But with historians disappearing and death magic being used for the first time in history, nothing is as it seems.
Gods whose names are long forgotten are awakening, and a certain death deity has made her his enemy.
Torn between love and duty, trapped in a game of madness and death. Lucy's best shot at survival is to embrace her cunning and her cruelty: traits she never thought she might possess as she transforms from a gentle wallflower to a dangerous spy. She is determined to succeed, but what will it cost her?

To Kill a Fae - A Fantasy Romance
Sabine has spent the past decade hiding from the Wild Hunt. But when a charismatic stranger recruits her to retrieve an invaluable artifact, she'll have to finally reveal her identity... and her dark secrets. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The darkness holds more than just secrets... Marked for death, Sabine escaped from her home more than ten years ago. But the Wild Hunt will never give up. It should have been easy to stay hidden.

When a charismatic stranger arrives in the city, Sabine finds herself unwittingly drawn to the power she can sense hidden within him. Keeping her distance is nearly impossible, especially after a life debt is called due and she's tasked into helping steal a rare artifact. Sabine is the only one who can break the magical barriers protecting the item, but that means revealing the truth about her identity and exposing her darkest secrets. Unfortunately, the Fae aren't the only ones hunting her. And the most dangerous monsters aren't always confined to the dark.Complete

The Fall of The Veil
"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out.

ELFILDA : The Banished Spy
You really shouldn't get captured as a spy for one of the most hated gods, for you'll probably be hung or fed to a dreki. That was the punishment Velimir Dagmar was hoping you'd receive. How he writhed and grinned as you were pulled up to the alter bound in ropes. How his face dropped when his mentor spared you. Spared you for a mark on your skin that classed you as one of their own. A dreki Rider. A renowned and loathed spy for a banished god, Mortala, is sent to find the key to an ancient chamber that all across the continent seek. But whereas the elves and gods wish to keep the chamber closed, the vengeful humans want it opened, but why? Mortala seeks such answers by traveling back to her homeland, the elven realms, where tensions are high as large numbers of elves vanish and return with their saphite stripped from their skin. But her journey takes her further north than she had hoped, prompting her capture within an elven dreki-rider castle which she must use to her advantage to find the key all the while avoiding the knowing watch of their most famed and studious rider, Velimir Dagmar who inches closer every moment to exposing her as the traitor she is. But soon she will realise the key is just the surface, and the ambitious dreki-elves have their own secrets that not only connect to the key and the disappearing elves, but to her life before death.Complete
