Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. 

His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence.

"Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger.

I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face.

His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you."

Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone. In a world going up in flames, Roselena can only hope to find mercy amongst the burning fire.

Rose Thornabell is the last witch in the Thornabell line. Her family was slaughtered by the king in front of her. She was taken from her home and imprisoned by the king for his own selfish needs. She thought this was going to be her life until she died. That was until a cursed prince appeared before her. Thaddeus Sliver was cursed when he was a child. Being the eldest, all he dreamed was to claim the throne when he was 25. With his 25th birthday around the corner, his dream seems to be out of reach. His younger brother, James, is in line for the crown. The king decided that having a cursed monster as king would bring shame to his name. He thought all hope was lost until he stumbled before Rose in the woods of the castle grounds. They come to an agreement to help each other. Break Thaddeus' curse and as king he'll release Rose from her imprisonment. But what happens when Thaddeus begins to have other motives to becoming king? What will happen when Rose begins to realize that maybe not all royals are monsters? "I don't just spout nonsense, Rose. I'm not a man that plays around. So, believe me when I tell you that I want you, I mean it." "You are my beauty I look to, to see the world. You're something I look upon to find peace in the war raging in my mind. You told me people see you and say monster, but when I see you, I think, home." None of the art I share is mine! I take no credit for the art. There will be mature themes in this story so please read at your own risk. I hope you stick around to find out what happens and thank you for reading my story!

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

"You better watch what you say to me or-" "-Or what?" I half laugh. "Which is it Everett? Do you want to kiss or kill me? Both can't be true." Everett captures my wrists in his strong hands as I flail them, forcing them suddenly in front of me. "Both are true, and it tortures me." He shakes my wrists meaningfully with every word like he can shake me into understating. But the truth is, im still so lost, constantly reeling from his mood swings. How can it be true that he loathes me and desires me? How can it be true that I might feel the same way? ••• Princess Maevyn is next in line to rule her beautiful, coastal kingdom of Astavia. With only her mother, the current queen, she is prepared to face the responsibilities of her role. That is, until she accidentally discovers her mother's surprise engagement to the King of their enemy country, the nation she was born to hate. And the worst part? The King comes in a package deal with an equally evil son. Princess Maevyn must learn to tolerate the two, loathsome men living in her castle, though, after her mother explains her diplomatic motives of creating peace between their nations. It is not an easy task, seeing as the King is terrifying and Prince Everett is even more so. When the two young royals are forced to live in rooms side by side in a giant castle, it seems to shrink before them as their undeniable attraction to one another only grows. Even if both find the notion incredibly disgusting. After all, you can hate someone as a person and still feel the urge to connect your lips to theirs... ...Right?
