darkfantasy medieval mystery revenge

Executed as a traitor. Condemned to the flames. Forgotten by the kingdom he once swore to protect.

Sir Leonhardt Vaelmont-once one of the legendary Seven, the kingdom's most revered knights-was betrayed and sentenced to death after attempting to kill the king. Branded a traitor, his name was erased from history, his honor burned to ashes. But death was not the end.

Resurrected by an unknown force, he returns to a world that has already moved on as Ash. The kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos, corruption festers within the royal court, and the church's grip tightens as it weaves its unseen schemes. Rumors of his return spread like wildfire-some fear him as a vengeful ghost, others as a demon sent from the depths. But Ash seeks neither redemption nor peace. He seeks the truth.

When a noble's caravan is slaughtered and a lone survivor, a boy named Elias, is left carrying a gruesome message, Ash is thrust into a deadly game of secrets and shadows. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes-his execution was only the beginning. Someone is pulling the strings behind his resurrection, and the church has plans for the child he lost long ago.

With his black sword in hand and vengeance in his heart, Ash walks the fine line between man and monster, legend and myth. The kingdom that once worshipped him will learn to fear him. And those who buried him in the past will soon wish they had made sure he stayed dead.

But there's one question that haunts him more than any other.

The Beast (Alpha Trilogy #1) by Grimmy27

"I know I'm a monster, but even I have my limits!" I shout at him. He shouldn't have done that. "Wait, please, I- , let me explain. I'm sorry-" "I should've known." I say quietly as I turn around and leave him there. I will never trust him again. Not after this. She wanted to be left alone. He wanted to find his mate. She didn't know about his kind. He didn't know about her past. She was a human. He was a wolf. Will he win her over? Will she accept him? Will they be happy? Or will someone try to ruin them? Warning: mature content I don't own any of the pictures shown. None of the presented people or events are real (obviously).

If gods from another dimension roamed, and did whatever they pleased. The old gods are nowhere to be found? The only gods are the ones that you see everyday? And most importantly, where is the line drawn, between Good and evil? Join Jack on this dark take on the implications of isekai.

Valerie by Ahyuuga586

On the edge of Lilah's field, at the twelfth hour of the fall of twelve, the three kings will unite, a daisy will be lost, or the worlds will be gone. The Oracle tells me that I am bound to the prophecy. That I cannot alter or change it. That I'm destined to be greater than what I am, but I already knew that. I've known that since the age of five. Now, can you guess who needs to die? Death doesn't bother me. I will let the world burn if it means achieving my goals - because with every lick of the whip; he tore my flesh raw, as his laughter rang through the mansion, and my screams disturbed the heavens. No one cared to help, no one listened - definitely not the Gods. So why should I? ._. Eldora. A world woven together by magic. Cloaked in darkness and chaos, sin, and deceit.

Ashes Of The Past by Z_A1317

Ashes of the Past - Story Description In a city drowning in corruption, two sisters rise from the shadows, bound by blood and vengeance. Ezra Valtore is a warrior forged in pain. The elder twin, she has turned herself into a ruthless hunter, eliminating those responsible for her family's destruction. Her fists speak where words fail, and her blade delivers the justice the law never could. Serra Valtore is the ghost in the machine. A hacking genius, she operates from the darkness, feeding Ezra everything she needs-security codes, enemy locations, and clean escape routes. She does not fight with fists, but with data, weaving digital chaos to ensure their enemies fall. Years ago, the Valtore twins had everything-a loving home, a bright future. Until one night changed everything. Their parents, innocent of any crime except standing in the mafia's way, were executed in cold blood. The sisters, barely teenagers, were left broken, forced to watch as the world moved on without justice. But grief did not break them. It rebuilt them. Now, they live for one purpose-to hunt down the mafia responsible and erase them, one by one. Ezra delivers death with precision, while Serra ensures their tracks remain invisible. Each kill brings them closer to the ultimate target-the elusive mafia lord who orchestrated their parents' murder. But the road to vengeance is never simple. Their actions have not gone unnoticed, and someone is watching them closely. Xavvar Blaze, a sharp-witted detective, has begun piecing together the pattern behind the string of mafia deaths. He is determined to uncover the force behind the killings, unaware that the truth will entangle him in a web of deception, fury, and an unexpected connection to the woman he is hunting. The game has begun. The hunt is on. And for Ezra and Serra Valtore, there is no turning back.

Beauty and Beastly | ✓ by shimmeringfire

THIS BOOK IS COMPLETED but it will be HEAVILY EDITED and have things added to it in the future. I wrote this book when I was much younger. I didn't expect it to reach this amount of popularity so I will devote my time to bettering it in the future. ------------------ Every year, in our village and the neighbouring villages, we encounter, on what is suppose to be the most divine and celebrated day of the year, a visit from the 'big bad wolf'. At least that's what the children call him. Adults like to call him "inhuman" or a "wild ravenous monster". However, the majority settle for "beast". No one knows why he ruins this specific day for us, the day we can celebrate our species: werewolves. Some despise him for taking this day from us and forcefully exchanging our merry and joyful laughs to screams of fear. When that specific day of the year approaches us, none of us are ever prepared for it. He always comes at night. We are told to lock our windows, draw our curtains and our doors. We are told to hide. There's one main rule that we have: don't look at him. Because if you do, no one knows what'll happen to you. Maybe that's the worse part, not knowing your fate. Not knowing the outcome of your foolish actions. If he comes roaming your streets, you have a right to be scared. Us "maidens" are always encouraged to hide ourselves the most, it's women that he supposedly wants more. However, I believe that that is a cautionary excuse. He'll take you, no matter how old or how young, no matter how innocent or how corrupt, no matter your gender, all it takes is a look. Either he looks at you, or you look at him, or you both exchange looks. Either way, his senses will pick you up, and you can't hide. It'll be too late. The amazing cover is by @-blackrogue. The amazing aesthetics in this book are by @mackreadsbooks24 Highest Rankings: 1st in #werewolflove 1st in #fierce 1st in #defiant 1st in #feminism 1st in #monster + many others

Markie by Ruhu95

All werewolves have mates. So what happens when you fall for someone before you're 18... "Hopefully hes my mate" is all Markie can think as she waits for her 18th. This is a short story that takes place in the middle of "Orphan Wolf". It can be read independently but will have spoilers if you intend to read "Orphan Wolf"... I of course would suggest you read it and pause at the point I marked to read "Markie" but the choice is yours. Story excerpt "Come on Ryan leave me alone!" A boy yells. "You started it Francis... come on pup don't start that with me... I don't have time for this! GO HOME!" I felt the command. I see the little 8 year old boy from last night run away crying, one of Ruby's cousins. When I turn the corner I see a boy about 20 and am hit with an overpowering smell something like fresh cut wood and autumn leaves. It is amazing. I see the guy turn towards me and duck behind the house I am standing by before he sees me. Nope! Not him! Not happening! I hear footsteps coming towards me and run. Into the woods I find a pine tree. Perfect! Pine trees are great hiding places. The branches hide you visually and the smell masks your scent. I climb up as quickly as I can and watch the guy approaching. He circles my tree looking around but eventually gives up and goes back towards the houses. "Mate!" My wolf happily purs. "Not him!" I respond. "Denial." She says. "Refusal." I counter and she growls at me. "You will NOT reject him!" She orders. "He is a bully!" "He is mate!" "He commanded that kid when he could have just talked to him! He is a bully with no patience!" "He is an Alpha!" She purrs with pride at his rank. I don't care! "I don't want him!" "The one you want isn't mate. He isn't yours. He isn't interested... I want mate!" "No." I block her out and climb down the tree.

Not Your Luna (Formerly His Rogue Luna) by Chloexx919

He grabbed me, and I felt tingles go up my arms. I started to thrash around trying to get out of his grip. As much as my wolf wanted him, I didn't and I wouldn't give in. "Let me go, dammit", I practically screamed at him. "No. You're mine", he screamed back, sending shivers down my spine as I began to relax into him. I jumped suddenly scared that if I didn't stop myself then I would never want to go. I knew what I had to do. "I, Emma St. Germain, reject you, Aiden Douglas, as my mate." I sent him a pitiful look as he fell to the floor, through the mate bond I knew he was in pain. "I'm sorry," I whispered before running as far away from him as possible. ***** She didn't want a mate, she just wanted to survive long enough to avenge her family. So when she finds out that Aiden Douglas, Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, is her mate, and he cheats on her. She rejects him and runs. He is trying to fight for her while she fights her demons. What is she supposed to do when her demons become real? ***** Disclaimer: This is not a book with a happy ending or a love story. If you want a happy ending, this book isn't for you.
