A new emperor has risen, uniting the six Fae kingdoms of Aetheria under his rule. To maintain the fragile peace, each Fae kingdom-and the mortal realm-sends their most powerful, treasured women to his harem, where one will rise as Empress.
Althea, princess of Leria-the mortal kingdom that guards the bridge to Aetheria-knows what awaits her: a court of ruthless ambition, a battlefield disguised in silk and smiles. In a place where beauty is a weapon and love is nothing but a weakness, survival is her only goal.
Yet amidst the chaos, the one man she should fear most-the Emperor himself-watches her with an intensity that burns. Soren. The Fae Emperor. A warrior born of Light and Dark, a ruler so powerful he ended centuries of war. He has never taken a queen. Never yielded to desire.
Until her.
As whispers spread of his growing obsession, Althea becomes the most coveted-and most hunted-woman in Aetheria. With assassins lurking in the shadows and enemies closing in, she must fight not only for her life, but for a love powerful enough to reshape a kingdom.
In a court where love is a weakness, can she become his greatest strength?

The Reckoning
The war has begun. With the fae realm under attack and the truth behind the King and Queen's murder finally exposed, Daella has been left behind-safe within the palace walls, far from the front lines where Alvaryn and Aeris now fight. But safety feels like a prison. Haunted by nightmares and aching with the loss of the men she loves, Daella struggles to control the changes unfolding inside her-power she doesn't understand and can no longer hide. Her only help comes from the last person she wants it from: Demwyn, the newly crowned King. Cold. Unyielding. Bound by duty. Forced into her life by obligation, not choice. But as war rages beyond the palace gates and secrets tighten like a noose, Daella and Demwyn are pushed together in a game neither of them want to play. Hate begins to blur. Trust begins to form. And in the silence between the chaos... something new begins to grow. Please follow and read along in their journey. Completed 9th March 2025 All rights reserved.Concluida
The Offering
Almost a century ago, the fae discovered they could no longer bear children-and humanity paid the price. A treaty was forged: The Offering. Once every couple of decades, young fertile women are taken from their homes and delivered to the fae realm, destined to become wives for fae lords. Treasured. Trapped. Chosen. Daella always knew it could happen to her. But when the fae come, she isn't ready. And she sure as hell isn't willing. Now forced to live inside a gilded palace among the other chosen, Daella must learn the ways of the fae world-obedience, grace, and silence. She refuses. Her defiance draws the attention of the three fae princes, each bound by duty... and each dangerously intrigued by the human girl who dares to fight back. As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom. And in a realm built on secrets and power, she might be the spark that sets everything ablaze.

Little Light
In the fae realms, power is everything. It determines who you are, how high you rise, and how far you fall. For centuries, the Light Fae have ruled the Crescent Kingdom, their golden Queen standing as a beacon of strength and unity. Born with the promise of power that never came, Ciara has spent her life surrounded by whispers. Whispers that she's unworthy, that she's a fraud. For decades, her council has kept her from asking questions, masking their control as protection while stifling her every attempt to lead. Her crown may gleam, but it's nothing more than a cage. When a shadow creeps across the border of her realm, threatening her people with war, Ciara knows she must act. But an alliance with the Dark Fae-creatures of shadow and chaos-is unthinkable to her council. To them, the Dark Fae are the enemy. To Ciara, they may be her salvation. Caught between two realms, Ciara finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Dark Fae and their cunning and unpredictable ways. They offer her freedom, power, and a chance to reclaim her destiny. But in a world of shifting loyalties and dangerous bargains, nothing comes without a price. As secrets unravel and tensions mount, Ciara must navigate a treacherous path where every choice could mean betrayal. Her council has made their position clear: they will do anything to keep her under their control, even if it means stripping her of her title.Concluida

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me. "You know, it's my job to eliminate spies." "Eliminate me huh? I'd like to see you try."

She awakens a sense of longing in Sorem that he'd never encountered. But should her husband visit a slight on the fairies, all that belongs to him will suffer--including her. The race is on for Sorem to find a way to set her free of the enchantment she's under and help her realize that gorgeous princesses deserve--belong with--handsome princes. Not hunchbacks.Concluida

The Burden We Share
Genre: Action | Fantasy | Romance Her hair was as light as daylight, and her eyes burned like the sun itself. Liora stood frozen, heart hammering as the woman descended from her throne-each step elegant yet commanding. The closer she came, the heavier the air felt, until Elunara stood directly before her, gaze sharp and unrelenting. Liora tried to look away. She failed. Elunara tilted her chin upward, forcing their eyes to meet. "So... you're the one I'm meant to marry?" she asked, her voice smooth like honey laced with venom. Her eyes roamed over Liora's face, slow and deliberate. Liora knew she should answer. Knew silence might be taken as disrespect. But this woman-goddess-like in beauty, terrifying in presence-had stolen the words right from her throat. Elunara smirked, leaning in close enough that Liora could feel the warmth of her breath. She traced a finger along Liora's bottom lip, eyes flicking down with unsettling intent. "I don't bite, darling," she whispered huskily. A pause. "Well... not yet." ⸻ ⚠️ Content Warning: This story includes mature themes such as explicit sexual content (smut), strong language, violence, discussions of incest, and instances of homophobia.
