The marriage life of Cardia Beckford and Arsene Lupin has been going well. Though the peace was interrupted by the return of a familiar organization: Twilight. Its new leader kidnapped Cardia for his evil plan to take over London in her late father's honor. Fortunately, she had been saved by Lupin's old friend, who is a thief just like him but with an alter-ego. She took her to an old friend Cardia remembers upon reuniting with her.

Kathalina Shaw, an American inventor and Cardia's old friend, struggles to trust those she never knows well, yet she grows close to a certain vampire in ways she doesn't know are possible.

Verdell Harrison is a scientist full of romantic fantasies, even if she unintentionally fulfills one after meeting Victor Frankenstein.

Ruhee "Ru" Sutherland is a fairy princess suffering from a curse similar to Cardia's former poison but feels more comfortable around a certain closed-eye count, who she falls for despite her fear of her curse not being lifted.

Agatha Wiltz is the old childhood friend of Lupin and a nephalem princess with a tragic past like Abraham Van Helsing's, only to find herself drawn to him even since her fiancé had been killed not too long ago.

Once Cardia, Lupin and all of her friends unite, everyone must do what they can to stop Twilight and their new leader, who Kathalina reveals to be her traitorous ex-lover since the day she defied him. Defeating Twilight is not the only thing they have to deal with.

Can Kathalina find the courage to trust again through the efforts of Impey? Does Verdell have a chance to gain Victor's heart? Is Ru meant to be free of her curse thanks to Saint? Will Agatha let go of her past with Van's help?

Amongst the Waking Dreams by raeanngoodman
6 parts Complete
Nymeria Verne has always loved fantasy books. She loves the mystical lands, the fantastical creatures, the happy fairy tale endings...but what she loves most about them is that they are nothing like the real thing. Nymeria was raised in the land of faeries, constantly visiting the mortal realm with its urban cities but never understanding them. As a human living among fae, she has grown up always knowing that she is not pretty enough, not strong enough, not ever enough-for who could compare to the ethereal fae? She doesn't belong among either the faeries or the humans, and yet she loves her home and is desperate to find her place among the Seelie Courts. Despite the beauty and draw of the faerie world, there is a sinister undertone to it, and Nymeria knows that she can never be safe as a fragile human there. Not even her strenuous relationship with the faerie she refuses to call 'father' could help her. Her only chance of security and belonging is to one day come of age and become a faerie's bride, but at seventeen years old Nymeria refuses to accept marriage as the only option. In her search for her own path and independence, she stumbles across a prince of fae that offers all the solutions to her problems. She becomes his servant and agrees to spy for him in return for protection and a place in his court when he becomes High King. As a mortal, Nymeria can do something the fae can't: lie-a trait that the prince sees an opportunity in. Along the way, she meets a mortal boy, Collin, that was raised among fae just as she was. As her reluctant feelings for him grow, he has her questioning her choices and what it is she actually wants. Perhaps leaving the land of fae would be her better option... But her prince has no intention of letting her go.

Declan doesn't want to set her up with the love of her life, but he knows if he turns down the job, someone else will. He decides on a third option: take the assignment and sabotage her matches.

"Even better."- ~A tale of oaths, and the people who break them~ Cassia Aurelius is a thief, an orphan, and a girl who made a terrible mistake... she ate Fae food. Now she's trapped in a realm of beautiful half-truths disguised as mercy, where the price of survival is combat.

Moon Blessed

60 parts Complete Mature

For three-hundred years, the five kingdoms in the land of Damir have lived at peace with one another, but tensions are rising once more. Rumors abound that an ambitious Emperor seeks to conquer the entire land and claim it for his own. Desperate to prevent this plot from coming to light, the King and Queen of Nyctoli arrange a tournament in the hopes of uniting the five kingdoms under a different goal: winning the hand of their daughter, Princess Nastasia. Being the first Moon Blessed in centuries is a gift, but also a curse. All her life, Nastasia has been treated as a precious treasure meant to be hidden and guarded, for every Moon Blessed before her led a life leading to martyrdom, and many are afraid that her fate will be the same. Now, Nastasia has gone from being a treasure to a prize. That isn't something she can quietly accept. An air of danger looms and Nastasia is determined to forge her own path before she is forced down the same one her predecessors trod.
