Under the iron rule of King Bartholomew, hope seems like a myth. But Kazuhiro has found a way to fight back. As war brews and the cost of resistance rises, their bond is tested by distance, duty, and fate itself. Yet beyond the clash of kings and demons, something far older stirs. Calamity waits in the dark, and its name is Lucifer- A being who does not lie, but twists the truth until it shatters everything. In a world where love is a fragile rebellion, who will survive? And what price will they pay when the true enemy reveals itself?

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

She learns that she carries the gate key to Heaven. As she learns to accept her new powers, she finds herself to be the center of attention between two feuding brothers. Elias portrays the dark, twisted, and selfish demon, and Julian is the demon who appears to be praying for redemption. Clara's heart becomes conflicted as the truth about the brother's past is revealed. It turns out, no one is who they pretend to be. Elias' dark mirage covers up the grief and pain from the life that he was forced into, and Julian's kind gestures hides the truth of his intentions. Once her enemy catches up with her, she is faced with a choice; the life of her true love or her own... Part 2: Beholden Elias is broken and empty without the love of his life. With his determination to use his new powers as the Key Holder, he gathers Julian, Quinn, Ashley, and Troy on a quest to resurrect Clara. They are on the hunt to find the Locket of Paradise, but in order to retrieve it, they must travel through the Hollow Grounds. No demon has ever survived this realm, but Elias was no longer an ordinary demon. He was different. He was changed. Once Elias succeeds in bringing back Clara, her heart seems to be shifted. Clara feels a strong connection with Elias, as if they are bound together. The connection is so strong that it controls her actions and she desperately wants to fall into his arms, but her love for him has consequences. The Underworld and Heaven despises anything that represents the integration between good and evil, and their decisions will cause a war. Is it worth the risk?

The Emperor's Edge by LindsayBuroker

Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.
