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.

Crimson Flame ~ Book 1 - The Royal Blood Collection
Book 1 - The Royal Blood Collection The world is filled with infighting and desperation; uncertainty is rife. Humanity hides of a night, fearing the menace that stalks the streets. Numbers are dwindling, causing the government to force its citizens into forced breeding with assigned partners. They wage war against the vampires, one that they are not winning. The vampires struggle to maintain law and order within their species. They rule the night and hide from the sun during the day. Years of chaos has created a lawless city that is overrun by criminals and lowlifes that prey on the weak. In a desperate attempt to return the power of rule to his family and gain control of the province, one vampire makes a deal with a human woman. All that Alaric wanted was a woman to sit by his side on the throne. A business transaction that would give him exactly what he wanted and nothing more. She would be everything that he needed to keep the enemy at a distance. Emmeline wants to be free of the cage that she sees as her future. A chance to choose her own destiny rather than what the government has dictated. She can have that, all she has to do is trust the vampire. Together they will create an illusion that meets the requirements for his claim to the throne. Cracks appear with lies and deception that will make the perfect plan crumble. © This story is copyrighted.

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.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
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. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. 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.
