1800s autumn corrupt cult dark dionysus elite europe fall insane king kingdom midieval murder original party queen royal royalty town traveler victorian village winter

1825, near the western coast of the country Phasia, rests the kingdom of Grzech. A bleak place, inhabited by equally bleak people. The village, filled with fear, death, and poverty. And the castle on the hill looking over the village and it's residents, filled with secrets and mystery. 

For being such a dark place, there's a certain time every year that the castle comes alive, opening it's doors only to those with wealth, privilege, and an invitation. Starting the first day of October and going all the way to the new year, a new celebration each night, drinking, dancing, laughing, talking, and anything else your heart could desire, including whatever sinister things the aristocratic mind can think of. 

The townsfolk are absolutely forbidden to attend unless used for entertainment, while those with a high social status and high funds get to stay in the castle as guests, spending their days as they please, and attending the party of a lifetime when the sun begins to set. Once the new year rolls around, the guests leave in the dead of night and no one speaks of it when morning comes, as if it never happened. 

Calian Banik, a traveling merchant of sorts, and a rather famous one at that, is invited to the three month long party at the castle. Given his family history and personal intrigue, how could he not attend? And while he's there, why not cause a bit of trouble, and remind the elitists of who they've welcomed into their home . . .

"I should be allowed." He says with gritted teeth. His voice filled with something. A thing a lot like desire that brings me back to crazy reality. A reality where we are tangled up against each other. "You should be al...-" A gasp escapes my mouth as he lifts me up or rather goes further low for me. His hands, back on my waist. Face buried in the crook of my neck, he inhales into my skin. Still inhaling he lets out a manly groan that I feel everywhere, in places I didn't know existed. The places that come to life because of him. "I should be allowed to touch you." He rasps in my neck. My back arches up and I close my eyes at his declaration. At his domination. At his intoxication. "You should be allowed to touch me." I insist. Brain empty. Because I can't think right now. He lifts his head up then, I notice his eyes have gone darker. His features have gone wilder. Representing an untamed animal in a way. ------------------------- Isabella Evans is your typical good girl who has a bit of a dark past.

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen

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.

Unnatural Circumstances by schma10

Immerse yourself in the captivating and darkly humorous world inside the compelling novel Unnatural Circumstances. Embark on the journey of three unconventional individuals who willingly set out on an adventure only to become entangled in a disturbing and surreal series of supernatural events. In the fall of 1996, Soleil Barlowe, a sarcastic yet resourceful witch, Benji Horowitz, a kind-hearted half-demon with a passion for horror literature, and Casper De La Cruz, an artistic shapeshifter, committed themselves to their studies at their magical university in Hollingsworth Institute. Sadly, after much contemplation, the trio dropped out during the fall semester. Their decision is understandable. The scholarships barely pay off their student loans, their families despise them, and their rent is so high that the three often resort to unconventional methods to make ends meet. When Soleil receives an unexpected invitation to return to her childhood home in Louisiana, she and the boys are pulled into a world where Southern magic and realism intertwine. Ancient creatures ascend from mythical textbooks. Powerful witches frolic in their gated communities. Festivities linger in the air as the townsfolk are preparing for Halloween. However, as the gang journeys to the heart of New Orleans, they are pursued by supernatural entities at every turn. Vowing to stop the chaos themselves, Soleil, Benji, and Casper must delve deeper into Louisiana's magical yet sinister underbelly. Their quest for the truth tests their morals, leading to a chilling revelation regarding the demise of a once-popular amusement park. This book contains sexual assault, death, corruption, swearing, morality, and homophobia. If you are dealing with these topics, please talk to an adult or someone you trust.

She slips, hits her head, and goes into a coma.When she opens her eyes, she's not in the hospital. Not in her dorm. Not anywhere familiar. She wakes inside a Tudor feast hall, stone walls glowing under candlelight, music echoing through the room,and everyone dressed like they stepped straight out of her TikTok feed.They catch the scent of her Strawberry Pound Cake perfume and lose their minds because no one here smells that good.

In this strange Tudor dreamscape, she must navigate royal politics, dirty looks,and dirtier people (literally, walang hygiene bestie ). Now she has a choice: Blend into the past she once adored... or try to change history itself. What if she saves Anne? What if she stays? And what if when she wakes up... the past feels more real than the life she left behind? A perfume scented time warp of history, humor, fangirl delusions, and fate.
