Vampire Queen of the Apocalypse
In a world ruled by darkness, her light will burn eternal. Sealed in a crystal coffin at the peak of the Great Vampire War, Selene Castielle was known as the weakest vampire of her time-unable to drink blood, frail at night, and an embarrassment to her noble lineage. Born once every decade, a female vampire was considered sacred... yet Selene was treated like a fragile glass doll. But Selene harbored a secret even she didn't understand: her powers didn't come from blood-they came from the sun. A thousand years later, the earth is broken. Civilization has fallen to the zombie plague, a cursed virus that wiped out most of humanity. When an earthquake cracks her mountain tomb, Selene awakens to a dying world-and a destiny she never expected. Now, under the blazing light of the sun, she is no longer the weakest. She is a beacon of power, feared by the undead, worshipped by survivors, and haunted by her past. But the apocalypse hides more than monsters. Connor, a stoic human warrior who leads a resistance group, bears an eerie resemblance to Selene's long-lost vampire fiancé. As Selene uncovers ancient secrets, forbidden experiments, and the truth behind the zombie curse, she must face the terrifying origin of her own bloodline. A once-broken vampire queen will rise. The undead will kneel-or burn.

Two Moons
For centuries, the House of Viridelle has borne the gift-and curse-of Sight. Selene Viridelle, the last of her line, carries more than visions in her blood; she carries the weight of an ancient prophecy foretelling that a child would shape the fate of kingdoms. Now, the prophecy seems to be at last coming to pass... and not in the way she hoped. Forced into an arranged marriage to King Zahir of Qamara, Selene faces a gilded cage. The king seeks not love, but power-wishing for his heirs to inherit her magic and bind it forever to his throne. As a week-long celebration leads up to the wedding, whispers of rebellion and water shortages stir unrest among Qamara's people, threatening to spill into the surrounding kingdoms. When Selene's visions turn dark, revealing that staying in Qamara means death, she seizes her chance for escape-falling in with a secretive band investigating the kingdom's water crisis. Among them is a brilliant but guarded engineer, Renric, whose haunted eyes hide royal blood long thought lost... and Darian, his charismatic, ruthless companion whose loyalty conceals dangerous ambition. The two men share a bond forged in war and secrets-but one that fractures under Selene's presence, unraveling into betrayal and hidden rivalries. Every secret revealed brings Selene closer to the truth-and to a love that could rewrite the destiny carved in her blood. But in a land of lies and legacy, even love may not survive the coming storm. ***TRIGGER WARNINGS: Abuse, emotional manipulation, domestic violence, toxic relationships, drug and alcohol use, eating disorders, murder, and light mention of self-harm and suicide ideation.***
