Immortality is only a glass away, but living forever comes with a cost.
The blood of Amanita Langton's ancestral line is the only known source of magical healing in the world, and that alone is enough to put her life in danger. After her mother's grisly murder, Ami is forced to flee her home in steam-powered London along with her father and a young man named Lysander, who insists he's been sent by the gods themselves to protect her. Ami simply thinks he's a nuisance.
Despite intentions to hide somewhere and live a quiet life, the journey quickly becomes a race to find the missing ingredients to the elixir of life, the provider of immortality, the drink of the gods, her ancestor's namesake: ambrosia. Unfortunately, immortality in a glass is a dangerous temptation, and some will stop at nothing to take it for themselves.
The longer Ami runs, the less she understands. Torn between love, her family, her future, and a magical legacy she never knew, Ami is forced to make impossible decisions not only for herself, but that could shape the fate of the world. The fate of the gods themselves is at stake in this magical Steampunk adventure piloted by a cast of enchanting characters and a heroine struggling with a question close to all our hearts: Who do you want to be?

Bride of Thanatos
Death covets life-but she never looks his way. Until one fateful day. When archaeology student Ella drunkenly stumbles into a forgotten ruin in Greece, the last thing she expects is to wake a god. But her blood, spilled upon an ancient altar, does the unthinkable-it stirs Thanatos, the primordial god of death, from his first peaceful slumber in eons. He had been resting, taking a divine "vacation" granted by his twin brother Hypnos, when a mortal's curiosity quite literally kissed him awake. Now, Death walks the mortal world again-irritated, weary, and tethered to the woman who woke him. Ella, on the other hand, is horrified to discover she's not just trespassed on sacred ground but accidentally bound herself to the very embodiment of mortality. The two are forced into an uneasy coexistence: she, the living spark he was never meant to touch; he, the shadow who was never meant to linger. As their worlds collide-Greek ruins, meddling gods, divine bureaucracy, and one very cranky reaper-they begin to learn from one another. Thanatos, who has always known endings, discovers what it means to live. Ella, who has always chased the past, learns to see beauty in the inevitable. Their story unfolds between laughter and sorrow, myth and mortal folly-a dance between life and death itself. But love, like all living things, has a time limit. Once the fates cut the threads of their story, will they break the order of existence-or will Death carry away the woman who taught him how to feel? A blend of Greek mythology, dark romance, tragedy, and comedy, Bride of Thanatos is a tale where death start to yearn more than just an ending, life learns surrender, and eternity holds its breath for love that was never meant to be.
Chronicles of Empyrhea Book One: The Threads of Destiny
In a realm where power is everything, she was born with nothing-or so they believed. Ileina Terranova has always been different. In Empyrhea, where elemental gifts dictate status and silence is feared, she was neither Banal nor gifted-unremarkable, invisible. Until something ancient awakens within her: wild, untamed, and utterly impossible. When an unforeseen spark earns her a place at the Bureau's elite training grounds, Ileina is thrust into a world of brutal coursework, elemental trials, and cryptic mentors. But her awakening is only the beginning. Whispers of a forgotten bloodline. Echoes of a buried war. And a red thread of fate binding her to Johannes Alarie-the young Magnus whose presence stirs her dormant power. As her abilities grow and her bond with Johannes deepens, Ileina teeters on the edge of chaos and control. With secrets unraveling and danger closing in, she must decide: will she embrace the power that could save Empyrhea... or become the force that unravels it? Because in this world, power is currency-and hers might just rewrite the rules. (04/06/2025)

Scales of Justice (gxg)
Since the death of both sets of her parents, Fynnith has lived far to the northwest, in the orcish fighting pits of Argul Kar after being taken as a prisoner when just a child. Having survived as the most feared fighter in the pits for over a dozen years, her mental health has increasingly deteriorated to the point where she is constantly hearing a voice in her head telling her to break out of the stone cell she sleeps in between fights, as she had a destiny to fulfill. After blacking out when the voice finally got too loud, she wakes up on a dirt road in a land she doesn't recognize. With an uncertain future, she looks to restart her life, not knowing that events beyond her knowledge have already started to move in ways that will force her to fight for things that the fighting pits never could have prepared her for. After all, a battle for love isn't always as direct as that with a sword. Or, maybe it is? TW: People will die, blood will spill, and there may be a little smut (if you're lucky!)Completa

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Completa

The Queen of Blood
Completed. Celestia earned her title as the Queen Of Blood. She was feared, respected, and admired by all. She ruled what she believed to be a fair kingdom, and kept the peace after winning the war between the four fae. Estrella, a human girl with a fiery soul often lost in the stars, was raised in the forest among the last of the free-surviving humans. In a desperate attempt to save her family, she sacrifices herself, and is thrown into the world of vampires and into the hands of the Queen. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ This book contains strong language, violence, torture, sex scenes, and is centered around a lesbian love story. Hi. This book is not mine. Its words, characters, and world belong to @hedgehogwithanxiety, who took it off Wattpad after getting hacked. Devastated would be an ample word to describe how I felt after losing this story. I thought about rewriting it, but had the thought- why fix something that wasn't broken? Hedge's telling of it was a masterpiece. Ultimately, I caved. I missed the characters too much and there's something about this story that makes me feel like myself again, so, here we are. After getting permission from Hedge✔️ and scouring the internet for any lost bits of his writing✔️ I began the rendition. Hedge left while his story was still unfinished, so chapters 1-21 are entirely his, and I'll be continuing and finishing the book (and series) beyond that. My dream for this book would to be to edit/finish it and hand off the polished, completed version back to Hedge to publish. The literary community is too starved for lgbt representation, especially in the girl/girl department, and this book is like a lifeline. Thanks guys!!Completa
