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?

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

Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.

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. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*Complete
