Many words can describe the mighty General, Graeme Blackwoode.
Handsome, intimidating, and stoic.
Lovestruck wouldn't be one.
Yet, the warrior crumbled to one of life's most delicate emotions.
Love.
Love in one of the most inconvenient of times. Love with a special woman, a fighter like him.
Threats from the neighboring country of Ravennisse, a kingdom built on land and power seek to conquer Oriad's land, in the tragedy known as war.
Graeme seeks to act as a general, hoping to keep his kingdom out of war. Yet, he is balancing his romance, for not everyone would approve of what he's become.

Violent delights
"Did he do this to you my queen?" Dark onyx eyes searched her own for an answer. "It does not signify." She said bitterly. "It is none of your concern, my lord. Good night." Before she could turn away, gentle hands gripped her in place. She met the lord before her's eyes again. "It is taking all the restraint I possess, your grace, to ask this as a man of my station should. Did he do this to you?" His face was hard, and body pulled taut. She could feel rage vibrating off of him. She gulped at his words. "It does not matter what he does to me, he is my husband and your king." She hissed, hoping she could deter his wrath with the threat of death. "It does not matter who he is, I will tear him limb from bloody limb." He clearly did not seem to care. Fuck...

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete![Hounds of War [Yandere Generals x Female General Reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/244157348-256-k538479.jpg)

When the Moon Bleeds into Dawn
Every thousand years, the gods demand a love story. Aeloria Vale, the devout yet restless priestess of Solynne, has spent her life preparing to serve the goddess of Light - a divinity that answers only through silence and fire. On the morning of her Choosing, she wakes from a dream of blood and wings - and of a man whose name burns on her tongue like a sin. Kael Draven, the last warrior of a ruined bloodline, carries a curse older than his kingdom. Bound to a dragon and haunted by the voice of the Reaper of Dusk, he dreams of a woman he's never met - and of the countless times he's killed her. When war ignites between their realms, destiny draws them together once more. Their souls recognize what their minds cannot: they have loved and destroyed each other across a thousand lifetimes, each death sealing the divine curse that shackles the world of Velithra in eternal twilight. But something has changed. In this life, she is not a girl of faith, and he is not a man of mercy. In this life, they remember too much. And the gods are growing restless. In a realm where dragons are worshiped as gods, fae courts weave truth into lies, and love itself is an act of rebellion, Aeloria and Kael must decide whether to break the curse - or become the very monsters it created. Lyrical, sensual, and unflinchingly dark, When the Moon Bleeds into Dawn is a sweeping romantasy of divine punishment, immortal love, and the thin line between devotion and damnation.
Lantana
[UNDER EDITING] The princess. A role more symbolic than powerful, a position more caging than liberating. A life more dreadful than joyous. It's a wonder to the people why Princess Lantana ran from her position. Yet, free in the forest, Lantana never felt more jubilant. The General. A man of stoic brutality, his name laced with fear tied to the battlefield. A man who's surprisingly level-headed for a man of war, yet wholly devoted to the crown. When the General returns Lantana to her gilded lifestyle, she's swept into a world of ballgowns and delicacies, yet tension is simmering beneath the golden folds of her dresses or the foundations of the castle. Tension pulled from the deepest roots of the world, pressure waiting to explode. For the King made a dreadful bargain, one with divine consequences. *** TW: Descriptions of violence, war, death, mild swearing.
