In a world where ancient magic lingers beneath the surface and steam-powered inventions shape the future, Selene, a cloaked assassin with a dark past, and Taren, a rogue inventor with a heart full of secrets, must confront forces beyond their control.

When Selene's hidden power draws the attention of a ruthless faction bent on awakening a forgotten darkness, she finds her only ally is Taren, a daring engineer whose brass and clockwork creations may hold the key to their survival-but trusting him could be as dangerous as the enemies they face.

As the line between light and shadow blurs, Selene and Taren are pulled into a web of intrigue, betrayal, and forbidden magic. With enemies closing in from every direction, they must uncover the truth behind an ancient prophecy that links them both-and make impossible choices before the darkness consumes them.All Rights Reserved

VEGEANCE IN SILK: RESCUED BY THE DEVIL by RissyPhoenix

Betrayed. Abandoned. Shattered. Selene thought her life couldn't get any worse after her father disowned her-the same man who helped murder her mother and built a new family with her mother's greatest rival. Stripped of everything, she clung to the only person she thought still loved her-her fiancé. But when she arrived at his house, desperate for comfort, she found him tangled in bed with her half-sister. Broken beyond repair, Selene walked to the river, ready to end it all. Until he appeared. Lucian Blackwood-ruthless billionaire, enigmatic savior, and a man feared by many. He didn't just save her from drowning; he offered her something far more dangerous-power. In his world, weakness is a death sentence, and he refuses to let her remain fragile. With his guidance, Selene transforms from a shattered woman into something no one saw coming-a force to be reckoned with. Now, with Lucian at her side, Selene will make them all pay. Her father. Her half-sister. The man she once loved. They took everything from her. Now, she'll take back far more. Most impressive ranking # #1 Kinks #2 Feral

Witchbound 1 by ELKrraz

In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.

Crown of Fury by LizMack

But the search for answers leads her into the shadowed depths of forbidden magic, where each step threatens to unravel her own soul. Old prophecies hint at a costly solution, but Selene is willing to face any consequence to bring Kaelen back. Meanwhile, word of Eryndor's new queen-one with no direct royal bloodline-has reached the neighboring kingdom of Alneth, where a ruthless ruler sees this as an opportunity to seize Eryndor for himself. As political intrigue and the looming threat of war grow, Selene finds herself pulled between her loyalty to Eryndor, her duty to the council, and her need to save Kaelen. But her heart is far from settled. With Kaelen caught in the veil between life and death, her bond with Taren has deepened in ways she never expected. As she fights to free Kaelen, she is forced to confront her growing feelings for both men-Kaelen, her mentor who sacrificed everything, and Taren, her childhood sweetheart.

As cracks form in her reality, Brighton is pulled into a dangerous path of hidden letters, unsettling truths, and a journey to find the mother she never knew.
