A Grace of Crowns | ☑ Queenkiller, Kingmaker #1
❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court.

A Touch of Ruin
Some love stories are written in blood. She was never meant to be his. So why does losing her feel like dying? Bodyguard. Broken boy. A girl with secrets-and the war that tears them apart. He was a weapon forged in darkness. She was the one thing he swore to protect. Seraphina Ellington was raised in silk, secrets, and shadows. She was never supposed to find out-until she did. Now the truth has teeth, and it's coming for her. The only thing standing between her and the chaos? A bodyguard with scars deeper than she can see. Maverick Reign doesn't protect people. He eliminates threats. Cold, calculating, and painfully off-limits, he's not the type to babysit a girl who talks with her hands and names stray kittens. But orders are orders, and she's under his skin faster than a trigger pull. He has rules. She breaks them. She has secrets. He sees through them. And when everything goes to hell, they only have two choices: burn down the world together... or watch each other turn to ash. Author's Note: Hey everyone! First of all, thank you so much for choosing to read my story! I'm a very young writer, and this book is my little passion project-full of drama, angst, romance, and two characters who are as stubborn as they are complicated. I've poured a lot of heart (and probably too many late-night writing sessions) into this, and I really hope you enjoy it! And thank you again! -- D.R.
House of Ash and Gold

He sets out to rebuild his crumbling house, not with sword or spell... but with silver, strategy, and secrets. But in a Kingdom where strength is currency and weakness gets buried, Cael Varissen must learn fast: wealth is fragile, war is inevitable, and magic? It's far older and hungrier than anyone cares to admit. What if the most dangerous magic wasn't in spells, but in shrewd business deals... and dangerous alliances of the heart? In a world where political ambition, economic strategy, and forbidden desires hold as much sway as any ancient power, every alliance comes with a price. This is the heart of House of Ash and Gold. ... What to expect: Slow-burn political fantasy with teeth Layered worldbuilding A subtle, mysterious magic system Romance threaded through ambition What NOT to Expect: Instant overpowered MC Fast-food pacing Harem or shallow romance One-note villains Endless exposition dumps
Seraphina Evermoor and The Sins Of Magic
As Seraphina Evermoor enters her sixth year at Hogwarts, everything she once believed about the magical world begins to unravel. The boundaries between light and dark magic blur more than ever before, challenging her sense of right and wrong. Whispers of a forbidden history-long buried by the magical elite-begin to surface, carried by shadows in the halls and secrets hidden in forgotten books. These revelations expose a chilling truth: magic, for all its wonder and power, is not as pure or noble as it seems. It has been twisted, corrupted, and weaponized-its darkest chapters erased from memory, its sins hidden beneath centuries of silence. With tensions rising inside and outside the castle walls, the wizarding world teeters on the edge of collapse. War brews in the distance, creeping ever closer. Friends become suspects, allies turn into enemies, and trust becomes a rare and fragile thing. As political alliances shift and ancient magical laws are challenged, Seraphina is thrust into a conflict far older and more dangerous than she ever imagined-one that could tear apart everything she holds dear. Haunted by visions, drawn toward forgotten spells, and confronted with choices that test her soul, Seraphina must face the ghosts of those who came before her-and the legacy they've left behind. The sins of magic are not just history; they are alive, pulsing beneath the surface, threatening to rise again. To stop what's coming, Seraphina will have to step beyond the rules, beyond the safety of what she's been taught. But with every decision comes a cost, and she must ask herself: how far is she willing to go to rewrite the fate that has been written in spell and blood? Because this time, the war isn't just about power-it's about truth, legacy, and the kind of witch she is destined to become.Completa
Grim Echoes
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.Completa
