Midnight and the Demon King

Zyera was born with the rare gift of mastering all kinds of magic-light, shadow, elemental, healing, and more. But instead of rising as a celebrated hero, she became the nameless "Midnight Fighter," a silent savior in the shadow of a golden-haired hero who took all the credit. Her black hair shimmered like moonlight when she sang, her purple eyes glowing with untapped power-but to the world, she was just the sidekick.
When she fought against the feared demon known only as Dematica, she believed she was protecting the innocent. What she didn't know was that her kingdom's expansion was destroying his. Dematica wasn't trying to conquer-he was trying to save.
One night, Zyera vanished. Taken by a cruel king from a distant land, she woke in a dark cell, wrists bound by a cursed bracelet that stole her magic. Across from her sat Dematica-horned, red-eyed, and just as powerless.
"You're the Midnight Fighter," he said, voice filled with bitter amusement.
"And you're the monster," she answered coldly.
As days passed in their prison, secrets unraveled. The king had taken them both as bait to lure out the hero-and kill him. But the deeper truth lay in the silence between them. Neither knew each other's names. Neither truly knew who the other was. And neither knew how much they would come to rely on one another-not just for survival, but for redemption.
Together, powerless and forgotten, they may become more than just a hero's side kick and a villain.
They may become legend.

The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
Veilfall

Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she was just another face in the crowd - until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and an ancient soul whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be...or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *UNDER EDITING!!!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*Complete
Hollow Crown
In a book filled with fantasy, you can typically think of those cliché stories where you already memorize the plot by heart. A villain will rise, draping its darkness into the world. The hero? Of course, he or she would save the world from falling. But... what if I tell you... that this book is totally different? That the protagonist is neither a hero nor a villain? So... what is she? ••• Synopsis: My skin is full of scars. Some were carved by others. But most, I gave myself. All her life, Ahvina's world revolved around the bitter scent of herbs and the quiet bubbling of potions. Nurturing her plants in daylight, offering gentle hands to the wounded, and selling her mother's herbal remedies to the townfolk. Ahvina knew from the moment she first opened her eyes, she knew her sole purpose was to end the pain of those who suffered. But mercy has many faces. And in Ahvina's hands, it could come as a cure... or as a final breath.
