Complete, First published Jul 23, 2024
The Tainish Empire is the largest Empire in the world. Ruling over 43 colonies, it includes 5 of the world's most influential kingdoms and bears hostage their second-born children. 
Leila has been home just once, and that was seven years ago. Perhaps it would have been better if she had never known her true home. Each night since has been one spent in hankering, a longing for that which she cannot truly have. She was raised a soldier of the Tainish Empire, collateral for her family's compliance, and soldiers did not have wishes. 
With an invitation home for her brother's naming as heir, though, Leila must navigate what it means to be the Hand of an Empire within the walls of her blood-bound family.

The stars flickered above us. "I like you, Noella," Mason said suddenly, voice low, careful. My heart stuttered. "I like you so much." I swallowed hard. "There's... there's a difference between a want and a need." He turned his head, eyes narrowing slightly. "What do you mean?" "People say they want someone," I whispered, staring up at the stars. "But a want is fleeting. Temporary. A craving. A need is something you can't live without. And I don't know which one I am to you, Mason. I don't know if I want to be anyone's need." Silence stretched. My chest tightened. Then he rolled onto his side, facing me fully. His voice was steady. "I love you, princess." ____ She was invisible. He was everyone's favorite. Noella Collins has spent her life hiding in plain sight-quiet, overlooked, and trapped in the noise of her own thoughts. Mason Montgomery? He's the golden boy with the kind of smile that makes the world stop spinning. They were never supposed to cross paths. But when his eyes find hers, something shifts. For the first time, she isn't just there-she's seen. The invisible girl. The golden boy. One look-and everything changes. Noella never believed in love stories. Mason never expected to fall for one. She's quiet storms and late-night thoughts. He's sunlight and easy laughter. And when their worlds collide, It isn't chaos- It's everything love was meant to be. ____ Best rankings: #1 unpopular (22/12/2025) #1 mentalproblems (24/12/2025) #9 hotboys (21/12/2025) #2 therapy (25/12/2025) #9 selflove (24/12/2025) #3 teenlove (28/12/2025) #1 healing (01/01/2026)

Heir of the Hidden Realms (Of Wielders and War, Book One)

26 parts Ongoing Mature

Magic is forbidden. Desire is dangerous. And Allette is caught between them both. In Rivian, wild magic is treason. Wielders are chained to the crown or broken by silence, their gifts locked away until they destroy themselves from within. Allette never thought she belonged to that world-until fire rained down on her home, burning her life to ash. Thrown into the city of Braun, Allette discovers that rebellion stirs in the shadows, and her name carries more weight than she ever imagined. Torn between loyalty to her friends, the intoxicating pull of Lord Drefan-the king's most trusted warlord-and the quiet kindness of a healer who hides secrets of his own, she must decide who to trust and what she's willing to risk. But the crown is hunting something powerful, and Allette may be the key to unlocking it. And in a kingdom built on lies, even love can be a weapon.
