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.

Witchbound 1
In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.Complete![[ The Glitched Road ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/215276936-256-k751814.jpg)
