Pain is devotion. Suffering is scripture. And a god's will is written in blood.

Veylen was once a man-a mortal executioner who thought death was the end. But the chains of the goddess Xujho proved otherwise. Bound by her will, shaped by self-inflicted torment, he was torn apart and rebuilt into something greater. Now, as Veylen the Penitent, the Priest of Thorns, and the Voice of Xujho, he walks the world once more, preaching a gospel of pain and zealotry in her name.

To those who listen, he is salvation.
To those who resist, he is judgment.

But when Lyara, a young scholar obsessed with the legend of the Revenant, crosses his path, she sees something more-a man behind the martyrdom, a broken soul beneath the priestly mask. Drawn to his knowledge and devotion, she begins to question if the faith she has sought all her life was waiting for her in the eyes of this scarred, enigmatic priest.

As Veylen leads her deeper into the abyss of Xujho's doctrine, Lyara must decide-will she pull him back to his forgotten humanity, or will she fall to her knees and offer herself to the same fate?

LET IT ALL BURN (Book II - House of Butterflies) by arrynsolwrites

The narrative has given them another chance, a new page to rewrite their story. Can an injured butterfly fly again, or is it doomed to fall for eternity? A new timeline. A new chance. Is history bound to repeat itself? - 'The blood of the butterfly had laced into her veins, burning into a longing, a yearning as ancient as time itself.' Katya Hawthorne doesn't know how to love. Duty, sacrifice, martyrdom--that is her destiny. Her frozen heart only knows her younger cousins, nothing and no one else, not even herself. But now they aren't here, and she is forced to confront the truths lying beneath the ice. Theo Hawthorne only knows how to be a chairman and the eldest Hawthorne cousin. Ruthless, powerful, warm to his younger cousins--that is all he is. Without their younger cousins, with only her, he must face the truest desires of his heart. He must face what it means to truly feel, what his ruthlessness will become when flooded with a love the likes of which his soul has never felt. But in the pursuit of rewriting history, they risked repeating it with their own two hands. And the flutter of a butterfly's wings could easily whirl into faithless devotion. - [Book 2 of the House of Butterflies series]

The Veils Of Rivalry (ON HOLD) by _unhingedauthor_

What happens when two souls, set on each other's destruction, collide? "I will destroy her till she regrets her own existence." "I will wait till he regrets his decisions." A marriage bound not by love, but by vengeance. Shivansh entered into matrimony with Samriddhi, not as a husband, but as a punisher. His mother's tragic death had left him shattered, and in his grief, he sought justice-or perhaps retribution. Convinced that Samriddhi was the key to uncovering the truth, he vowed to make her suffer. But as he walked the treacherous path of revenge, the lines between hatred and love began to blur. He never anticipated the depth of her pain, the secrets she carried, or the silent battles she had fought long before he entered her life. Slowly, against his will, he found himself drawn to her-not just to her beauty, but to her strength, her resilience, and the sorrow hidden behind her eyes. But was love enough to erase the wounds of the past? Could Samriddhi ever forgive the man who married her with the intent to ruin her? And was Shivansh truly punishing the right person, or had he been blinded by his own misconceptions? As buried truths unraveled, they found themselves entangled in a web of lies, betrayals, and long-forgotten sins. Every revelation brought a new storm, testing the fragile bond they had unknowingly built. Did they find their happily ever after? Maybe. Was Love easy for them? Certainly Not. Love was never meant to be easy for them. Twists awaited at every turn, shadows from Samriddhi's past loomed over them, and the ghosts of their choices refused to fade. Dive into their world-a tale of vengeance, love, and redemption, where nothing is as it seems, and every secret has the power to change everything.

Waking up in a world unknown, she finds herself in the body of a royal - not on a throne, but in chains. From glam to dungeon, from clinking champagne glasses to the screech of iron rails that caged her in. Her second life doesn't crown her a queen... it chains her as a prisoner.

Shadows of Fate by SoftlyMaisie

But as their bond grows, Ezryn's past becomes a weight too heavy to ignore, pulling him into dangerous territory. Solivian's unwavering support offers a glimpse of hope, but the truth of who Ezryn is-and what he's capable of-remains elusive. Lirael, Ezryn's long-time best friend, knows there's more to him than he lets on. Her relentless curiosity forces Ezryn to confront pieces of his past he'd rather forget, but the deeper she digs, the more he fears she'll uncover something neither of them can handle. What if the truth is more than either of them can survive? As the shadows of his past draw nearer, Ezryn is faced with an impossible choice: will he succumb to the same fate he's been running from, or will he find a way to break free? The answers may not be what he expects-and not everyone is who they appear to be. In Shadows of Fate, the lines between destiny and choice blur as Ezryn fights against a past he can't escape and a future he can't predict. Will the truth set him free-or destroy everything he holds dear?
