Isolated in a cold annex, far from the grandeur of the Delarive estate, Y/N lives in seclusion, imprisoned by her own family. They say she is cursed, damned, the cause of both her family's fortune and their misfortune. But behind the rumors, there is neither magic nor madness-only a blind young woman, consumed by anger and solitude.
When a new servant, Cassius, crosses the threshold of her prison, Y/N is ready to break him like all the others. But he does not retreat. He does not apologize. He stays. Because Cassius is not here to serve her. He has come to destroy the Delarive family, and Y/N might just be the key to his revenge.
Mistrustful and untamed, Y/N becomes an unexpected enigma in his path. Between defiance and reluctant alliances, who will end up controlling the other? And when the truth comes to light, who will truly be the prisoner of this curse?

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
The Delusional Devil (Betrayed Male Reader x High School DxD)

After being betrayed by her, and the past that he experienced, he vowed for vengeance on the world. And with the new powers he has, he'll sink Earth into the whirlpool of delusion. He'll stop anyone who gets in his way, even manipulate the masses for his own intentions. But just like Emily Throne said, "There are two sides to every person. One that we reveal to the world and another we keep hidden inside."Complete
Court Of Tethers and Ruin *A dark fae fantasy- romance*
"My mother warned me the fae are closer to gods than men. She never warned me what happens when gods wake up." The night the moon shattered it rained glittering shards upon the world. Fragments of divine power, each capable of increasing one's power and rendering the immortal Fae truly deathless. For the Fae King Kairos, they are not only his hope to save his crumbling Night Court from oblivion. They are a necessity to securing his rule and destroying those who oppose him. For Aylara Al'thaire, they bring only ruin. Aylara sees what others cannot: the golden threads of fate binding every soul to the connections they make in life. This gift has protected her human village for generations. But when Kairos's army storms her home, slaughtering all in their hunt for the fallen shards, her sight offers no escape. Only a bargain. To save her people, Aylara pledges herself to the Night King. In return for their lives, she will enter his treacherous court as his pawn-posed as his concubine, forced to use her unraveling gift to root out the traitor threatening his throne amidst the trials. As courts clash and ancient powers stir, Aylara walks a razor's edge: one misstep means her village burns and her fragile alliance with Kairos shatters, or the terrifying power of the shards consumes them all. Survival demands trust. But in the courts of fae, trust is the deadliest trial of all. ***************************** Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (18+) Themes: - Enemies to lovers - Strong female main character - Protective / obsessive male main character - Fated mates - Prisoner-ally relationship - Court politics - Trails And so much more!
