A Royal Nightmare by Carmen__7

In the heart of a mist-laden forest, where the shadows danced with secrets and whispers hung in the air like a shroud, there stood a castle. Its ancient stones bore the weight of centuries, and within its walls dwelled a queen unlike any other. She was a vampire witch, with eyes like embers and a presence that commanded both fear and reverence. Yet beneath her regal facade lay a soul burdened by centuries of trauma. Queen Elara was her name, and she ruled over the realm of shadows with an iron will tempered by the anguish of her past. Long ago, before she became a creature of the night, she had been a young witch filled with dreams of love and power. But fate had been cruel, tearing away everything she held dear in a violent storm of betrayal and loss. Haunted by the memories of her past, Elara had embraced the darkness, seeking solace in the icy embrace of eternal night. She had delved deep into the forbidden arts, mastering the ancient magics that whispered of forgotten realms and forbidden desires. With each passing year, her power grew, until she was feared by mortal and supernatural alike.

Lessons in the Shadows by Fayel5238

When aspiring artist Elara Vance enrolls in the elite postgraduate sculpture program at Blackwood Academy, she hopes to escape the ghosts of her past and find her creative voice. Her new mentor, the enigmatic and notoriously reclusive professor Julian Thorne, is a legend in the art world, known for his haunting, emotionally raw works. Julian is a man forged from tragedy, a storm of contradictions: brilliant yet destructive, charismatic yet terrifyingly withdrawn. Their connection is immediate and unsettling. He sees the hidden pain and fierce talent in her, a vulnerability that mirrors his own. As their professional relationship blurs, Elara finds herself drawn into Julian's dark world-a world of obsessive passion, psychological games, and dangerous secrets. He pushes her to her limits, both artistically and personally, unraveling her defenses one by one. Elara is torn between her growing fear of him and an all-consuming desire that feels both thrilling and destructive. As the lines between mentor and captor, love and obsession, become indistinguishable, Elara must decide if she can save Julian from his own demons without losing herself completely in his shadow. Lessons in Shadow is a psychological dark romance that delves into the dangerous beauty of forbidden love, the trauma that binds us, and the high price of creating art from the deepest parts of our soul.

OUTLAWED by Bella66

Elara, a young girl born into a broken world, where the royal family holds absolute power and mages-those with the ability to manipulate the elements-are hunted to the death. After witnessing the brutal murder of her father at the hands of the royal family, Elara's mother hides her daughter's identity, pretending to be the mage in order to protect her. But when the royal family learns of a new mage bearing a powerful mark, they arrive at Elara's home, and her mother sacrifices herself to save her daughter. With her mother's death haunting her and the royal family's forces hot on her trail, Elara flees into the woods, unveiling the magic she's kept hidden for years. In the depths of the forest, Elara discovers a hidden group of mages-boys and girls, families-each with their own elemental power: fire, water, earth, air, blood, metal, and ice. For the first time in her life, Elara is not alone. But her refuge is fragile. As the royal family intensifies its search, Elara must decide whether to stay hidden in the shadows or rise up with these newfound allies to reclaim her life and bring justice to those who destroyed her family. With vengeance in her heart, Elara's journey becomes a fight for survival, and a rebellion against the oppressive rule that has outlawed her very existence.
