Introducing the Sequal To Claws--TYRANT
Zale feels the internal storm brewing within him. With relentless headaches and troubling manifestations awakening a more aggressive side, he grapples with the primal urges that threaten to consume him. But while Zale spirals into confusion and rage, the Southern pack - led by the enigmatic Archeus - lurks in the shadows, waiting for the moment Zale crosses the threshold of his transformation.
When Zale and his girlfriend Mae confess his chilling secret to their families, they set off a chain reaction of fear and turmoil. Echoes of tension ripple through their community as Mae's parents increase security, anxious over what Zale's change could mean.
On a fateful day, while hunting together in the depths of the forest, Zale mysteriously disappears, taken by the Southern pack to unlock his latent powers. There, he's subjected to brutal torture and grueling brainwashing, reshaping him into something twisted - a living weapon with blood-red eyes echoing the tyrannical ways of his father.
When Mae bravely confronts Archeus in the woods, she's not prepared for the transformation that Zale has undergone. Torn between his old loyalties and a new allegiance, Zale stands at a precipice, struggling against the dark forces that warp his mind. Mae catches glimpses of the boy she loves beneath the layers of aggression and manipulation, yet their connection is strained by the haunting presence of his father's influence.
As conflict brews between packs, tensions rise, and old wounds fester. A war looms on the horizon, ignited by a fateful fight driven by anger and a desperate need for loyalty. Will Mae find a way to break through the brainwashing, or will Zale succumb to his father's legacy? In this charged tale of love, power, and inner demons, loyalty and betrayal blur, leaving only shadows in their wake.

The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025Complete
Being Human || Harry Styles
"I'm the one asking questions here, darling. You can ask questions when I say you can ask questions. Got it?" he spat, his tone laced with cold authority. My eyes dropped instinctively to my feet, the sudden rush of fear made me mute. I nodded quickly, not wanting to piss him off more. My heart pounded, reminding me how powerless I felt. ----- It has been 2 years since the the dead spread their shadow across the planet. Danger lurks around every corner in a world overrun by the dead. Humanity clings to survival, confined to crumbling hideouts while supplies are dwindling.

Harry Styles is a 24 year old man with a relentless drive to protect the ones he loves, no matter the cost.

Sometimes the living are far more dangerous than the dead... A broken world brought them together. She had a shattered soul, and him, a hardened heart. There was much more to face before they saw a future. Many scars, tears and losses to endure before they saw the light.

Fin's Claim
This time around the story concentrates on Fin and Victoria and their ill-fated mate pairing. Unaware of Fin, Victoria suffering under a father who hates her very existence and starved of affection, Victoria has a dalliance with another male and Fin discovers this. The male in question was his twin brother Grey. This led to Fin abandoning his pack, rejecting Victoria and embarking on a path designed to punish her by sleeping carelessly with as many females as possible. Events in Grey's Tribute have brought them together, and Fin claims Victoria as his mate while still hating the very essence of her being. However, the Moon will have her way, and she wants these two together whether they will it or not. Victoria is forced to confront every demon she buried deep down in her fight for survival since birth. The main one being that her wolf is more feral than others, unwilling to bend to any and with a hunger to rule more territory. Her wolf's disrespect to his authority will force Fin to remind her of her place. Fin himself struggles with the past Victoria shares with his twin and the fact that it forced him to denounce his full potential as the most dominant alpha of the four packs around. Her wolf's challenge to his status will push Fin into accepting all that he is and could be, and in turn what they can be together. Unfortunately, his feelings for her are harder to change, and his struggle to forgive and forget will impact heavily upon their relationship. An emerging empire, omens of death and the two most dominant wolves compelled by fate to be together with or without their permission leads to an absolute rollercoaster of a story. I did not think I could feel more than I did reading this book. These characters are complicated and while they project an image of indestructibility to those in their world, reading this will show you that those who appear strong may have the hardest battle against their own weaknesses. Thank you @Chortle for the great summary.Complete
(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.

Grim Echoes
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.Complete
