Karyn doesn't believe in magic... until the day it comes for her.
When four mysterious students arrive at Emerfield High, Karyn's haunting dreams vanish, and so does her best friend. They claim Karyn belongs to Wlerden, a kingdom that remembers her far more than she remembers it.
To them, she was going to save a nation on the brink of ruin.
To her, it was a chance to finally uncover the truth about her parents' murder, a truth someone had gone to deadly lengths to keep buried.
And she took it.
But Wlerden is a world fractured by power, and the past Karyn chases may destroy her before she can claim it. As her powers spiral beyond her control, she must survive the hunt of monsters and men, and decide if she's ready to become something more than a missing heir.
Logic meets Magic in this lyrical, thrilling, and fiercely original debut about legacy, loss, and the price of truth.

A crown of Secrets and Fire
I grew up safe, protected, adored, certain of the life that awaited me. A grand estate, a devoted father... a wedding to the perfect man. But the altar crumbled beneath me, my world ripped apart in a heartbeat. The silk turned to ruin, vows to ash, and in one heartbeat, everything I knew was gone. I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim. He doesn't ask for my trust, he takes it, drags me into a world of lies, bold betrayals, and secrets I wasn't prepared to see. And the truth? I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems. And the man in the shadows... he is the storm I can't outrun. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

Love me (Love Me, #1)
Roselyn swore she had seen him before. The way he smiled and looked at her as if she was his whole world. It was all too familiar. Roselyn had recently moved to North Carolina and started a new school. With her cold attitude towards almost everyone, she never gained any friends- neither did she want any. Although, suddenly her boring life was turned upside down when she un-expectantly ran into these two gorgeous young men one night. The craziest part was how much they knew about her. As if that wasn't strange enough- the men mentioned she had gone missing two hundred years ago proved they were crazy. She was supposed to be dead. Roselyn started to learn that her life was filled with more lies and secrets than she had ever imagined. An adventure into a mysterious world and Roselyn discovering she knows less about herself than she ever realized. ___________Author's Note_____________ HIGHEST RANK: #36 Vampire This story is COMPLETED.
