In the once-great kingdom of Thelline, a noble knight named Arthur lived a life of honor and love, devoted to his beloved wife. But when a devastating betrayal leads to the brutal slaughter of his wife and the destruction of his home, Arthur's world crumbles. The perpetrators of this heinous act are none other than the royal family.

Fleeing from the remnants of his shattered life, Arthur is ruthlessly hunted down and killed. Death, however, is not the end for him. Reincarnated in a new body, he is reborn with no memory of his past life-except for the haunting image of his wife's face. Unbeknownst to him, his mortal demise has awakened a dormant power: Arthur is now a half-demon, forged from the very darkness that claimed his life.

But this resurrection comes at a terrible cost: Arthur's heart has been replaced by an abyssal void, fueled by his rage and sorrow. His new existence is sustained by an otherworldly energy, pulsing through his veins like liquid darkness.

As he navigates this new existence, Arthur is drawn to the beautiful and enigmatic Princess Elara. From the moment she sees him, she is inexplicably drawn to the mysterious knight who now serves in her father's kingdom. But amidst the whispers of dark forces rising in Thelline, Arthur must confront the torment within his fragmented memories.

Unaware of Arthur's true identity and past, Elara finds herself torn between loyalty to her family and her growing feelings for the brooding knight. As their bond deepens, Arthur begins to unravel the secrets of his past and the truth behind his wife's murder. The revelation that Elara's family betrayed and killed him threatens to destroy the fragile bond between them.

Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost by opheliasikes
11 parts Complete Mature
Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.

24 parts Ongoing
In the grand kingdom of Verathia, where power and politics rule, Prince Alistair is known as a cold and calculating figure in the royal court. Born into a world of betrayal, alliances, and constant scrutiny, Alistair learned from a young age that love is a weakness he cannot afford. He's known for his sharp intellect and ruthless decisions in court, having been groomed to take over the throne. However, behind closed doors, his obsession isn't with power-it's with a commoner, Lady Elara. Elara is an innocent, kind-hearted young woman from a noble yet distant family, largely removed from the palace's inner workings. She's sweet, humble, and untouched by the court's manipulations. She meets Alistair by chance when her family is summoned to court over a land dispute. Unaware of the prince's intense gaze, Elara quickly becomes the object of his fascination. What begins as an innocent meeting soon turns into a dangerous game as Alistair's obsession with Elara grows. He is determined to keep her close, seeing her as the only source of purity in his dark world. Alistair views Elara as a symbol of purity in his otherwise corrupt world, and his obsession with her is driven by a desire to possess something untainted by power. He is deeply conflicted, as his obsession is at odds with his belief that emotions are weaknesses. Elara, on the other hand, is unaware of the extent of Alistair's obsession. While she may feel a sense of intrigue or fascination with him, she is largely naive to the depth of his intentions, making her a target of his possessive nature without fully understanding the danger.
