Valory and Juniper are thrown into an Arena full of monsters, deadly traps, and 500 other prisoners as desperate to win as they are. Every ounce of courage and wit they have won't be enough to survive on their own. They'll have to learn to trust each other with their lives. However, the Trials can only have one winner.
Valory is a noblewoman who is locked away by her parents, only ever able to leave her room by sneaking out at night. Her greatest shame is that unlike every other person in the Heart - the wealthy section of the kingdom reserved for those with magic - she can't control her power.
Juniper is a farmer who must go to extreme lengths to protect those he cares about when he's about to lose everything - his farm, his family, and his very life as he knows it.

Threads Of Fate
She was never meant to be his wife. She was meant to be his revenge. When Anastasia is forced into a marriage she never chose, she becomes bound to Killian-a man feared for his silence as much as his violence. To her family, the union is protection. To him, it is justice long delayed. Every vow is calculated. Every act of devotion hides a blade. Killian has waited years to dismantle the family that destroyed his own, and through Anastasia, he finally holds the thread that can unravel them all. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. The woman meant to be collateral begins to matter. And the deeper the bond between them grows, the more impossible his revenge becomes. Because some threads, once pulled too tight, cannot be cut without blood.

Risky Investigation - a Mini Wattpad Story
Matthias: "Do you really think you're the one hunting me, Emma? Or are you just trying to convince yourself you don't want to give in?" Emma: "I don't surrender. Especially not to men who think the world belongs to them." Matthias: "Then why do you tremble when I touch you?" Emma : "Because I'm counting the ways I'll ruin you." Matthias: "Liar. You love this. Just as much as I do." Emma Sinclair, an investigative journalist, is determined to expose Matthias Voss-a dangerously charismatic businessman whose shady methods and suspicious acquisitions hide dark secrets. What begins as a routine investigation quickly turns into a high-stakes game of power and desire, where the line between hunter and prey blurs. Matthias, a man who always bends the rules to his advantage, sees Emma as a worthy adversary. Their encounters start as professional clashes but soon escalate into charged verbal duels, each trying to dominate the other. Yet, the deeper Emma digs, the more she realizes the real lies might be the ones she's telling herself. Between family betrayals, power struggles, and an all-consuming passion, Emma and Matthias spiral into a world where trust is a weapon-and danger has never been so thrilling.

A Grace of Crowns | ☑ Queenkiller, Kingmaker #1
❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references ↜ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first season Chosen One awards ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021Complete
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.
