In a world where monsters and humanity coexist under uneasy truce, Aryan, a boy with striking white hair and a cold exterior, faces an unimaginable crisis. When his father, Hugo, is abruptly condemned to death for alleged crimes linked to the mysterious creatures, Aryan's world unravels. As he battles through a city in turmoil to save his father, he discovers a hidden truth: monsters, once seen as threats, are not the malevolent beings the Council portrays them to be. They possess their own struggles and humanity, existing in dual forms-beast and human.
With the city in chaos and hunters closing in, Aryan and his father must escape to the forest, where secrets of the past and future collide. In their journey to uncover the truth and challenge a corrupt system, Aryan encounters unlikely allies and faces moral dilemmas that will redefine his understanding of monsters, justice, and his own role in this fractured world.
In a tale of courage and revelation, "Echoes of the Forbidden" explores the fine line between friend and foe and the power of hidden truths to reshape destinies.

Under His Name|18+
"Rowan" "I told you not to call me that." His voice is low, dangerous. Lea's back hits the wall, but her eyes stay on his. "Why?" she whispers. Nico leans in, caging her in with one hand. His lips hover over hers, not touching. "Because Rowan loved you." His other hand slips to her throat, just barely grazing. "And I don't want to remember what it felt like to be him." But he kisses her anyway. And it's not soft. Lea Broadway has spent her whole life running-from love, from herself, and most of all, from the boy who never chose her. Rowan Reid was once her everything-until he disappeared and came back as someone else: untouchable, dominant, dangerously magnetic Nico Reid. Years later, fate throws them back together. She's not the girl who waited. He's not the boy she loved. But some names still burn. And some touches never lose their heat. A story of obsession, old wounds, and the kind of slow burn that doesn't just scorch-it destroys. He left as Rowan. He returned as Nico. And now... she's his to break. First book - 2025

Untouched
He was forbidden magic wrapped in a mortal body. She was the spark that could burn him or save him. Of Fire and Shadow - Series Summary In a distant future, humanity has lost what once made it human. Souls are hollow. Emotions erased. The ancient walls dividing realms of Light (the Fae) and Shadow (the Demons) have collapsed, fusing time, worlds, and species into one fractured existence. To maintain control, the High Council outlawed the most dangerous force of all - feeling. Love, passion, grief, and joy are forbidden, declared the root of chaos that once ignited wars among realms. Peace was purchased through emptiness. Survival meant never truly living. But fate stirs in the gray between worlds. A woman named Samira, believing herself human, discovers she is the last royal of the Fae - a hidden ember of emotion in a world gone cold. When she crosses paths with Xalen, the ruthless King of Shadows, their connection awakens something long buried: desire, compassion, and the pulse of creation itself. Their forbidden love becomes the spark of rebellion - a rising storm to reclaim the right to feel, to live, and to love again. And once the soul of the world is reignited... nothing will ever be the same.
