In the shattered realm of Elysium, two powers divide the land. The radiant Lumia White Bloods, born of sanctified magic, and the Blood-forged Tenebrae Night Bloods, masters of monsters and beasts. Their centuries old feud has left kingdoms crumbling, skies darkened, and blood soaking the soil of a dying world.
To end the endless war, the Kingdom of Elysium calls for a queen one powerful enough to unite the fractured clans. But the path to the throne is forged in agony. Young women from every province born if Esteemed Clans are cast into The Hollow Proving, a deadly maze where reality bends and only the ruthless survive. Those who emerge face the final trial the Sanguine, a brutal arena where contenders wield magic, monsters, and madness for the crown itself.
Among them is Vesperine, a girl marked by secrets even she doesn't understand. She bleeds pearl white, dreams in flame, and carries a power the world has forgotten. When she unleashes something ancient-a creature of dark majesty and untamed loyalty-she draws the gaze of eyes lurking below, a man as dangerous as the beasts he commands.
But in Elysium, nothing is as it seems. Loyalties fracture, monsters remember, and even love can be a weapon. As truth and deception entwine, Vesperine must decide whether she will be the kingdom's salvation or the reason it burns.
Blood will spill. Crowns will break. And beneath the ruins, dragons stir once more.
For readers who love The Hunger Games, Red Queen, and Fourth Wing-welcome to Elysium. Welcome to Ryu.

(1.5) Sagittarius - Silent Tears
It has been ten years since the death of the beloved Queen Luna - murdered by humans during her first peaceful diplomatic journey - and the world of Oculi has since plunged into chaos. In the aftermath, two dominant factions emerged. The Reginae, loyal to the crown and the harmony Luna once cultivated, seek to preserve her legacy. While in opposition, Inanis appeared who were driven by hatred and a thirst for revenge against all humans, after what they did to the body of the deceased queen. Yet neither side foresaw what would rise from the ashes of Luskrusca - once the second-largest city in Oculi, now reduced to ruins and flame. From this desolation, a third force was born. Unaffiliated with either faction, this new shadow thrives in the forgotten middle ground, feeding on the anguish of countless innocents caught in the war. Families shattered, lives lost - all collateral damage in a growing conflict. Among the smoldering remains of peace, a question emerges: can the light of hope endure? Can Lilian, the young heir to the throne, illuminate a path through the encroaching darkness and silence the storm of a new civil war? Welcome to Oculi - a world where the boundary between heroes and villains blurs into the smoke that drapes the battlefield, and the future hangs in the balance between vengeance and redemption.

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely.

Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

Veil Of Ash
The Bovi people have never been accepted. Marked by traits that set them apart from the rest of humanity, they are shunned, feared, and branded as monsters. Denied peace and survival, they are forced into the shadows, relying on acts of terror to strike back at a world that would see them erased. Their resistance, desperate and violent, ignites a war with a powerful neighboring empire. Into this storm steps Vespera, a young soldier fresh from training, loyal to her Emperor and determined to prove herself. But the battlefield is nothing like the order and honor she was promised. She finds herself caught in the blood-soaked middle ground, where assassinations, ambushes, and massacres are tools of survival-and no side's hands are clean. As the war escalates, Vespera is pulled deeper into the gray spaces between duty and morality. The Bovi fight for existence, the Empire for dominance, and she is forced to bear witness to the corruption of ideals she once believed unshakable. Her faith in the Emperor-revered as incorruptible and just, begins to waver with every shadowed truth revealed. Now, Vespera must choose: remain the loyal soldier and blind herself to the blood on her hands, or risk everything to confront the possibility that the true monster may not be the Bovi at all... but the very Empire she swore to protect.

Fangs & Fury
When the first body fell, the truce began to bleed. Seraphina Vale I didn't ask to be here-standing in a cathedral that reeks of blood and secrets, staring at the one man I swore I'd never need. Darius Fenrir. Wolf royalty with a superiority complex so big it could choke a dragon. He thinks I'm trouble. He's right. Trouble in heels, with a smile sharp enough to slit throats. But when corpses start appearing-bodies branded with symbols no one dares to speak of-I know this isn't about fangs versus fur anymore. Something old is waking, something that wants to burn this fragile truce to ashes. And somehow, it's tied to me. Darius Fenrir I should kill her. End of story. Seraphina Vale is everything I hate-vain, venom-tongued, and far too intoxicating for my own good. She moves like sin draped in silk, and every word out of her mouth makes me want to muzzle her... or worse. But the killings have changed everything. A prophecy soaked in blood has clawed its way back from the shadows, and somehow she's tangled in it. I don't trust her. Hell, I don't even like her. But the more bodies we find, the more I wonder if fate's cruel joke is pairing me with the one creature who could break my kingdom... and me. Dark secrets. Deadly alliances. A killer who bleeds chaos. Welcome to Fangs and Fury.
