The Shadow Within
"His stare promised death. It was a promise that he'd made many years ago, and now he was back to follow through with it at last." Willa and her friends are enjoying their night partying to celebrate her twenty-first birthday, when their lives are abruptly upended and thrown into disarray as they're cast from the human world they know so well. They find themselves in Faerie, a land fraught with perils and magic and a myriad of unworldly creatures, both good and bad. Willa is confronted by her past and who she once was when she comes face to face with an old foe she thought she would never see again, and her friends must quickly adjust to this strange, new land and survive the hardships and trials that are thrown their way. Together they must travel through the fae kingdoms, each more treacherous than the last, and restore balance to the world Willa had once called home.

His Veiled Bride(On Hold)
In the dim glow of the wedding chamber, his words fell like shards of glass, sharp and unforgiving. "This marriage was arranged by my grandfather out of some foolish friendship, but I will never accept it," he declared, his voice cold as winter frost. "Tonight, I'll leave this country and this farce of a marriage behind. I refuse to be trapped in a life I never chose." Without a backward glance, he turned and walked away, his footsteps echoing like the final notes of a requiem. He left her there alone, abandoned, discarded as if she were nothing more than a relic of duty and tradition. She sat unmoving, a silent figure draped in red and gold, the weight of her bridal veil a shroud of sorrow. Beneath its folds, unseen by any living soul, a single tear traced its path down her cheek a tear born of love unspoken, dreams unwoven, and a heart breaking silently in the night. Her voice, barely more than a whisper, trembled with the ache of a soul left forsaken. "Bina Piya Ji, Mein kaise Jiyu?" The words hung in the stillness like a prayer to a merciless fate, fragile, desperate, and unanswered. In that moment, the air grew heavy with unspoken anguish and the promise of a destiny forever altered by the cruelty of choices never her own. This was not merely the end of a wedding night; it was the dawn of a battle between heart and fate, love and loss, with scars yet to be written upon the pages of her life. This poignant moment marks the beginning of a journey filled with heartbreak, resilience, and the search for a destiny beyond the bonds of an unchosen fate... ____________________ Tropes ________ Royal Romance Grumpy X Sunshine Drama x Humour forced Proximity arrange marriage Protective X Possessive Unrequited crush Princess and Director ________________________
