In the enchanting kingdom of Veridonia, where magic flows through every part of daily life, traditions and ancient spells hold a quiet power over the realm.

Lady Adeline Wycliffe, the adventurous and spirited daughter of Viscount Wycliffe, dreams of a life unfettered by noble expectations. With a sharp mind, a kind heart, and a secret gift for magic, she yearns to explore the world beyond the rigid walls of nobility. But her aspirations come to an abrupt halt when her family arranges her marriage to the enigmatic Duke of Wintermere, a man she's heard of only in whispers.

Duke Lucien Valenhart is known for his honor, his strategic brilliance, and the aura of winter that seems to follow him. Steadfast in duty but guarded at heart, Lucien sees marriage as a necessity, a way to strengthen alliances. Love, to him, is a luxury he cannot afford.

Bound by duty but brought together by circumstance, Adeline and Lucien find themselves navigating the grandeur of court life and the quiet magic that fills the Duke's estate. Facing unexpected dangers, enchanting mysteries, and the warmth of small, shared moments, they begin to see each other in a new light. But to truly find one another, they must first let down their walls and open their guarded hearts.Todos los derechos reservados

✧Velvet Chains✧ de MochiYui

Velmirra. A city of mist and marble, uncharted and unreachable unless it wants you. A place where the elite trade secrets behind silk masks and pleasure is just another weapon in the war for control. Beneath its opulent façade lies a heartbeat of ancient magic and whispered curses, pulsing through every stone, every shadow. She is elegance draped in defiance a bratty, magnetic beauty who plays with power like fire. To the world, she's composed, divine, and untouchable. But inside, she craves to be undone not by a man who grovels, but by one who can break her without ever raising his voice. He is not a man who plays. He doesn't flirt , he claims. Cold, cruel, breathtaking. With eyes like frost and a past soaked in velvet and blood, he's not looking for a partner. He's waiting for something deeper. Older. Darker. They collide at Velmirra's infamous masquerade, a night where no one speaks their real name, and masks hide more than faces. She tempts him just to feel something. He indulges her just to turn the knife. But their game unleashes something that should've stayed buried. A bond older than time. A curse that tastes like desire. A hunger neither of them can control. As obsession tightens its grip, submission becomes sacred... and surrender may be the most dangerous sin of all. ♡♡

Twenty-Five Winters de writtenbySU

They say love is the oldest magic... but what if it's also the deadliest curse? Vaenya has always felt like winter was watching her. Each falling snowflake feels like a warning, each dream more vivid than the last - flashes of fire, a pair of ocean-blue eyes, and a voice whispering her name. But when a stranger appears in the woods - tall, quiet, with eyes that feel too ancient to belong to a man - something inside her stirs. A memory she shouldn't have. A warmth she can't explain. The closer he comes, the stranger her world becomes. Shadows follow her. The forest feels alive. And she begins to wonder - What if she's not meant to survive her 25th winter? In a world of divine curses, rebirth, and forbidden love - one truth remains: Someone is watching her. Waiting for her to remember. But what if remembering is exactly what will get her killed?
