Another pawn is taken, and the board is set for the queen's arrival.
But who could have foreseen that the final, ultimate sacrifice would become both the kingdom's greatest blessing-and its darkest nightmare?

Veltharia Vexthorn, daughter of Duke Alaric Vexthorn of Crimsonvale, was offered by her own father to complete the ancient ritual as the thirteenth and final sacrifice, meant to resurrect the feared and forgotten deity:
The Great Witch, known to her followers as She-Who-Threads the Spine of the World.

But the ritual fails.

And in that failure, something worse is born.

Veltharia's body, sculpted as the perfect vessel, binds instead to Svetlana Saar-a woman from another world, dead and defiant, whose soul burned not for peace, but for vengeance.
A glitch in the prophecy. A rebellion incarnate. A soul the gods did not account for.

Now, caught in a decaying empire of undead kings, soul-thirsting angels, and demon-spy wars, Svetlana must either play her part-or end the cycle completely.

She is no longer just a vessel.
She is the error that breaks the script.
And if she falls... she will tear the world down with her.

Core Theme: "What if the only way to survive in a world that contradicts itself... is to become the very contradiction?"

❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

The Loser's Daughter by ValyriaRizing
95 parts Complete Mature
Desperate for a fresh start following a heartbreaking ordeal, Venus Denbrough, the beautiful daughter of the stuttering "Loser" Bill, has decided to relocate to the sleepy little town of Derry, Maine where her Father lives. Little does she know, an ancient evil has recently awoken and with her in the picture, "it" knows exactly how to hit Bill where it hurts. Note: This is a slow-burn with lots of teasing and "almosts" that slowly build toward full blown intimacy and once it starts, it's very spicy and very often. The point is to be aching with desire before that first sex scene. I want my reader as desperate for it as the main character because I believe that "first time" feeling is damn near magical and I love dragging that shit out. If you want quick smut, this isn't for you. I'm sorry! 🥰 Trigger Warning: There will be content involving violence, extreme gore, rape, sex scenes, female x male, male x male intimacy, and other mature situations. If you think any of these things will bother you, I'd suggest you maybe try another story. 12/09/25 a No.1 - #pennywise (a resurgence!) 02/37/23 - No.1 - #stephenking (HELL FUCKING YES!) 03/01/22 - No. 1 - #clown (sweet!) 02/07/22 - No. 3 - #Pennywise (WOO!) 10/24/21 - No. 1 - #stephenking (I'm crying!!!) 10/18/21 - No. 3 - #Pennywise (wow!!!) 10/02/21 - No. 5 - #Pennywise 09/30/21 - No. 8 - #Pennywise 09/13/21 - No. 2 - #billskarsgard (Yay!) 09/12/21 - No. 11 - #Pennywise 09/11/21 - No. 12 - #Pennywise 9/01/21 - No. 14 - #Pennywise
Crimson Veil (Book I) by AEStag
47 parts Complete Mature
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. Viewer discretion is advised.
