7 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world where magic is woven into the very fabric of reality, the kingdom of Valoria thrives under the rule of King Aeron and Queen Selene. But the peace is fragile, disrupted by a series of unsolved murders that shatter the foundation of trust in the royal court. The culprit? An ancient power hidden in the shadows, manipulating events and preying on the darkest corners of human desire. Princess Arabelle, the kingdom's bold and fiercely independent heir, is drawn into the mystery when someone close to her is murdered. As she partners with the enigmatic Commander Raiden-a brooding warrior with a tortured past-she uncovers dark secrets about the kingdom, the throne, and her own bloodline. Together, they must navigate a web of lies, treachery, and forbidden magic, while battling their growing attraction for each other. With each murder, the kingdom edges closer to a civil war, and the whispers of an otherworldly force stir in the Aether Realm, a shadowy dimension tied to the fate of Valoria. Arabelle and Raiden must uncover the killer before the ancient magic consumes them all, but not everyone in the court wants the truth to come to light. In this blend of fantasy, romance, and a twisting murder mystery, alliances will shift, hearts will be tested, and the darkest forces will rise from the ashes of the past. Will love conquer the shadows, or will the Aether Realm claim them all?
Crimson Veil (Book I) by AEStag

In the bustling, modern metropolis of Valoria, magic flows beneath the surface, known only to a select few. For centuries, ancient families of magical bloodlines have controlled the city's fate, living among humans as powerful, secret societies. They have wealth, influence, and magic at their disposal. But what no one knows is that the source of their power comes from an ancient, forbidden ritual called the "Crimson Veil," which requires them to form unbreakable sexual bonds with those possessing rare magical traits. These bonds heighten their abilities and carry dangerous emotional and physical consequences, twisting love and desire into weapons. At the centre of this tangled web is Elena Ravenwood, a brilliant and ambitious journalist with no idea that she is the last of a forgotten bloodline-one that was destroyed in a bloody purge by the ruling magical families. When she stumbles upon a mysterious underground gathering, Elena's latent powers are awakened, and she quickly becomes the target of three powerful men, each from rival families: Meanwhile, a deadly prophecy comes to light: one that foretells that Elena, once fully awakened, will become the key to either restoring balance to the magical world or destroying it entirely. Her growing power ignites intense rivalries, and the line between love and hate blurs as she discovers that betrayal, passion, and magic are inextricably linked. Reader's Discretion: This story contains explicit content, including mature themes of sensuality, intense romantic relationships, and power dynamics. Suitable for adult readers only.
