-»° • ⟪ Novella, 16, is a witch. And even at first glance, there are many meanings and opinions associated with that term. Child of the Nymphs, wicked spirits, speakers of the ancient language, most heavily opinionated. Besides this, she dwells in the malevolent Empire of Durok, known for their cruel punishments towards and strict regulations to keep the citizens in line, which leaves the forlorn hearts of the citizens divided. Escaping is not an option, until it is.
How I like to put it, however, is that she is grasping for her fragile life. Everyone one she knows and adores is in the jaw of the beast, admiring the sun setting into the horizon.
And a golden moon rising from the beyond. Love is something to regret, and the first thing you learn is that no one is safe. Maybe, when all hell breaks loose. .
She should be more worried about the people she cares about the most. ⟫
And what would happen if she had found love in the deepest of situations?
It is a golden moon, and the stakes are at an all-time high.

Court Of Tethers and Ruin *A dark fae fantasy- romance*
"My mother warned me the fae are closer to gods than men. She never warned me what happens when gods wake up." The night the moon shattered it rained glittering shards upon the world. Fragments of divine power, each capable of increasing one's power and rendering the immortal Fae truly deathless. For the Fae King Kairos, they are not only his hope to save his crumbling Night Court from oblivion. They are a necessity to securing his rule and destroying those who oppose him. For Aylara Al'thaire, they bring only ruin. Aylara sees what others cannot: the golden threads of fate binding every soul to the connections they make in life. This gift has protected her human village for generations. But when Kairos's army storms her home, slaughtering all in their hunt for the fallen shards, her sight offers no escape. Only a bargain. To save her people, Aylara pledges herself to the Night King. In return for their lives, she will enter his treacherous court as his pawn-posed as his concubine, forced to use her unraveling gift to root out the traitor threatening his throne amidst the trials. As courts clash and ancient powers stir, Aylara walks a razor's edge: one misstep means her village burns and her fragile alliance with Kairos shatters, or the terrifying power of the shards consumes them all. Survival demands trust.

He flexed his palms and the flame disappeared. "With practice, even you can control your Blue Matter." I didn't say anything, just nodded. "This Blue Matter is stronger than Red Matter. It can destroy beings. Be careful with it." "Uh, so I am a DreamMaire?"

When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book!
