Every year the Asterian nobles choose 32 girls, eight from each class, for the Prince to consider to make his wife. With threats from warring Kingdoms, he decides to make this year's Chosen compete for his attention. The competition is to be broadcasted across the kingdom, and everyone became too enthralled with the new touch to an ancient tradition to realize the dangers lying in the political realm.
Mariella came from a poor, lower class family. She had no knowledge of proper etiquette; she didn't even know people used different forks for different parts of their meals. Life of nobility had never interested her, so when she found herself on the list of chosen women from the lower class, she vowed to herself that she would leave as soon as she could. Mariella knew she couldn't stay even if she wanted to. Being in the spotlight was too dangerous for her. The world can never know her secret, for she believed she would be hunted and killed. A life of poverty was better than no life at all. Mariella is an inferno in every sense, a fiery woman with a fiery gift. It wasn't until she reached the castle that she realized she might not be the only one.

Hate & Heaven | 18+
"You're a devil," she whispered, her voice raw and filled with a mix of anger and desire. Dimitrio chuckled, the sound deep and resonant, reverberating through her like a bass note in a symphony of seduction. "And aren't you this devil's heaven?," he breathed against her skin, his mouth moving to her neck, his teeth scraping lightly against her flesh. She shivered, her body responding to him. "Monster," she swore at him again, the word a whisper that held no real heat. Her voice was a tremble, a soft protest that was lost in the sea of passion that surrounded them. He chuckled, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "Call me whatever you want, as long as you come screaming my name." His voice was a dark promise, the arrogance in his tone sending a fresh wave of heat through her. *************** Under moon's dark veil, Princess shivers, devil grins.

In the Moonlight
A girl in a white veil, the forest calls her to itself. She will be lost in it forever. A quiet voice, a whisper leads his bride far away. Somewhere there stands an old castle, a cursed prince dwells within its walls. When the full moon rises in the night sky, the monster awakens. The white veil of the bride turns crimson. A story as old as time. Nereyeny ran towards the forest as if her life was at stake. She hesitated for a moment before crossing the line of no return. She looked back at the place where she had grown up, lived, and was supposed to die and lie in the ground there forever. All her life layed there, everything except the one thing she longed for the most. Freedom. "Nereyeny!" They were already looking for her. She couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. She turned on her heel and stepped into the darkness. She knew that no one would dare to chase her there. Only a fool. People were afraid of the cursed forest. Eyes watching your every step. Whispers leading you into the void. Creatures from the depths of hell itself. They say dark forces dwell there, no one who goes in will ever come out. And Nereyeny was proof that it was all a lie, spending almost every day there, running under the treetops like a wild wolf. She didn't believe those tales. About the full moon. About the proud prince. About the curse. Until she too became one of those lost in its bowels. Trapped in the same trap as Prince Astreus, son of the Sun and the Moon. A proud prince, real, made of flesh and blood, who is not at all like she has heard of him. At least the fairy tales are wrong about one thing. And maybe they are wrong about everything. Secrets, pride, the whims of the gods, and maybe even fate itself. A burnt-out faith in breaking the curse. Nereyeny must now find a way out before the next full moon comes and the monster finds her.Complete

His Starlight Her Firefly (HotD Fanfiction)
She was not Targaryen. She was not Valeryion. She was not of royal blood. She did not possess the hair of silken white nor the eyes of soft violet. She did not have the blood of the dragon within her veins. But she was his starlight. The one thing in this wretched world that he could without a doubt claim as his own for it was he who first found her amongst the wings of dragons and it was he who took her in. It was he who she first saw upon opening her eyes and it was him whose smile she blessed. No Astraea was none of those things. She may not be important to those who beheld her; those who whisper of her heritage and rumors of her arrival. She may not be the daughter of the king but there was one man who'd burn the world for her and kill for her honor. No...Astraea was not a dragon. But she thought herself truly blessed to have Daemon 'The Rogue Prince' Targeryon at her back. For she was his starlight-his saving grace. And he the as beautiful and special as the fireflies she loved to watch glittering in the darkness like the man himself. **Characters are aged down from their actors to be closer to the books.

All That Burned Was Hers
She was born to rule. A princess shaped by legacy, polished by duty, and sharpened by ambition. The throne was hers - not by luck, but by destiny. She spent her life preparing to wear its weight like a crown. Until he took it. The murderer of her father. The slayer of her love. The man who seized a kingdom with bloodied hands and claimed her body as part of the spoils. A forced marriage. A stolen life. A palace that now burned with hate instead of gold. This is not a love story. This is a collection of fragments - stolen glances, violent nights, silk-bound power plays - from the cursed life of a princess who was never meant to be touched... and the tyrant who touched her anyway. These are her memories. Her scars. Her heat. And whether tenderness ever threaded through the cruelty... you'll never know. Because this story is not whole. It never began. It never ended. And it never, ever belonged to both of them. Whether it was hate or worship - you tell me. Because when power touches skin, even hatred moans.Complete
