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 . . .

"It is taking all the restraint I possess, your grace, to ask this as a man of my station should. Did he do this to you?" His face was hard, and body pulled taut. She could feel rage vibrating off of him. She gulped at his words. "It does not matter what he does to me, he is my husband and your king."

The Duke Fell for the Villainess
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game.

Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?Complete

Why does it have to be a BL novel, for god's sake? The trashy male lead falls in love with the crown prince of another nation and causes the biggest war history has ever seen. "Santina, I want you to be my Empress." WAIT, WHAT? Why now? Does he want to use me to his advantage? Yeah, that's probably it! But then...? "I'll start a war." E-eh? What is this? "I'll kill him and destroy his entire kingdom. In fact, I'll erase it from the map, so... look at me... I beg you." Is he completely ignoring the crown prince? But why and for what reason, all of a sudden? Let me go, you crazy punk! I'M THE VILLAINESS! "...." He broke my other leg as well. When they say Angels have wings they mean they have legs.

Helplessly Falling For Mr. Hunter
"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.
