It's about what happens... when someone new walks in and makes the past bleed. She's not my first love. But she might just be the one I destroy myself for. Because butterflies don't heal broken men.

And some love stories are written in blood.
Calliope
"It's my curse, and my duty. I have to do it, Azrael!" I cried out from the other side of the room, as the ground shook and cracks formed in the tiles. I was terrified. Terrified of what might happen to me, in the scenario that this fails. If I fail, I'd be haunted by her forever. I couldn't - wouldn't, let myself succumb to her. This was my fight. "Princess, I swear, if anything happens to you, I'll go crazy. Just stop!" Azrael shouted above all the noise. While I was lost in thought, everything had become more chaotic. The storm outside, the lightning and thunder that made me jump everytime it occured. All it took was one leap of faith. One risk to take, and I'd be rid of her forever. -------------------------- Calliope Solace - the princess nobody knew existed. Since birth and until the age of fourteen, her father, the emperor, kept her locked up in a palace in hopes nobody would find out about her existence, and most importantly, the threat her touch brought. One touch is all it took for a living being to wither and fall in the hands of death - one touch, more deadly than a hundred swords. Callie couldn't be more loving despite her deadly curse. She believed in the fairytales and the happily ever afters, which is why she didn't rebel or complain even after learning that, through marriage, she'd be shackled to the sadistic emperor who loved nothing more than to see people suffer; Azrael Ivanov. What she didn't know, was that Azrael had his own reasons to marry her, in the pursuit of vengeance and revenge to her father. [A/N] This is book 2, continuing in the same universe as 'Althea' my previous book. This is Callie's (Aias' sister's) book! However, it can be read as a standalone!

The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.

As if it was not enough humans were the source of all his pain and suffering he experienced throughout his life, and the reason for all his scars and symbols, they took away the only person he cared about. Well, enough was enough. He tried leaving humanity alone. He tried living a peaceful life away from all the fighting. It was all he wanted; to live a peaceful life with his sister, but humanity would not allow him that. So, if battling was the only thing humans throughout history understood, then he would bring them a war. So now, he has a new goal. Peace treaties are made between humans but they never last.
