32 capítulos Em andamento Maduro
In this world of supernatural beings, power, and greed act as a catalyst for violence and war. Humans are subordinate in every sense and reside at the bottom of the hierarchy. Vampires hunt them for sport, and other beings condemn them to forced labor. Lycans are the only creatures to offer humans peace and solidarity, making their territory a place of refuge for the dwindling species. Most humans live under the security that lycans are honorable enough to keep their word. Thus, they follow their rules and live a quiet and quaint life. Humans can even choose to work at the royal castle for wages. 
So, what happens when a cautious eighteen-year-old with a big heart and humble personality decides to seize the opportunity? 
Sayora is sensitive, selfless, soft-spoken, and empathetic. She's like a beacon that attracts everything in her path. That notion becomes even more apparent when she arrives at the castle to obtain a position. However, her life takes a drastic turn shortly after her arrival, and Sayora is propelled into a world of lust, sex, violence, danger, history, mates, and carnal desires. 
Powerful secrets get unveiled, jealousy arises, and the threat of war looms over the castle. Lycans hold most of the world's power, and their enemies will stop at nothing to dethrone them. Amidst all the turmoil, Sayora learns she's not as innocent as she once believed. . . . . . ⚠️ Read at your discretion. This story is MATURE, and it's rated 18+ for crude language, strong violence, gore, descriptive sex scenes, smut, nudity, explicit content, taboo topics, themes of suicide and depression, and BDSM elements. ⚠️ 
NOTE: The MCs do not meet right away!!!!! I take my time introducing them, so if you prefer rushed stories where the MCs profess their love in the second chapter, then this book isn't for you.

Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.

Even teen evil queens need love. Right? (Or at least a handsome sword-fighting minion to do their bidding!) *** Bad things happen when Rowen is around and the worst part is, she has no idea why until a massive family secret sends her on a fantastical journey to fight her evil fate. Will Rowen fold into the forces of dark magic or honor her true self? *** On the surface, Rowen Keckilpenny-Brown seems like a normal teenage girl with normal teen problems-no boyfriend, overprotective parents, and no friends other than a three-legged cat. But her wild red hair, reptilian eyes, and legendary temper say otherwise. When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne. The current evil queen, Petronella Grimshaw, is desperate to crown Rowan the new sovereign and blackmails her into traveling to the queendom. Rowen has one month to learn how to evil queen, and it's not easy because there are those in the castle who want her dead, witches are disappearing, and an annoyingly cute swordsman keeps distracting her. Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all. Princess Diaries meets the School for Good & Evil with a touch of Wednesday Addams thrown in for bad luck. The best kind! Cover by @ClarissaNorth
