A ring that binds souls. A love that defies death. A secret that could shatter them both.

When Danielle receives a breathtaking Ruby engagement ring from her fiancé, Justin, she's swept into a fairytale, until the nightmares begin. The ring is icy against her skin, whispers slither through the dark, and in her dreams, a tortured spirit with piercing silver eyes watches her, his voice a velvet murmur: "You've come back to me."

Alistair has been trapped in the ring for two hundred years, his soul shackled by a curse born of betrayal. The moment the sapphire touches Danielle's skin, something awakens-a whisper of forgotten passion, the echo of a blade being drawn, the lingering scent of blood and roses. 

As Danielle uncovers the Blackthorn family's gruesome legacy, she realizes Justin's proposal was no accident. The ring is a weapon, and she's the key to its power. Justin's family guards it for reasons far more sinister than tradition. And Alistair, the ghostly stranger who ignites her heart, refuses to let her become another victim. Their bond deepens with every shared dream, every phantom touch-yet breaking the curse could mean losing him for eternity.  

A seductive blend of Gothic mystery and timeless romance, "The Ruby Ring" is for fans of "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" and "Hades x Persephone" retellings. Will Danielle and Alistair rewrite fate, or will the shadows of the past consume them?

The Villainess Won't Play by IronyDreams
68 parts Ongoing
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.
