They thought she was dead.
They were wrong.
Kiara remembers nothing of the night her kingdom burned-the blood on the palace walls, the scream that might've been her own, the crown torn from a dying queen's head. Raised in exile, she's lived a stolen life, haunted by nightmares she can't explain and a name that sends fear down spines: The Lost Queen.
When Roy-a war-scarred stranger with eyes like ash and secrets sharp enough to kill-appears with a cryptic warning, Kiara's world begins to unravel. Someone knows who she is. And they want her gone... for good.
Dark forces stir in the east. Children vanish in the night. And as the dead kingdom's ghosts claw their way back into the light, Kiara finds herself hunted-not for what she's done, but for what she might become.
Truth bleeds. Trust shatters. And in a game ruled by monsters wearing crowns, the only way to survive...
is to become something worse.
Some thrones are cursed....
She just didn't knew- she was born for one...

Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Rise of the Flamebearer
I was bred to obey. I obeyed when they gave me to a man I barely knew. I obeyed when my cousin took my husband's bed. I obeyed even when I carried his child. Then he burned me alive. I woke up months before the pyre. I found myself back with the same husband and the same traitors, but I remember every detail of what they did to me. This time, I am not the victim. I am the architect of their downfall. Caelan Vorenthal is my husband's greatest rival. He is a shadow in a court of vipers and the only man who saw the truth when everyone else stayed silent. Now he is offering protection. An alliance. A connection that feels less like safety and more like a threat to the walls I have built. Can I trust the one man who could destroy everything? Or is he the weapon I never knew I needed? I was bred to obey. Now I choose who burns. ____________________________________________ The Details - A second chance fueled by the memory of fire - The silent marriage and the loud betrayal - The rival ally who should not be trusted - A heroine reborn to take back her agency - Tense attraction that feels like a risk - Slow burn romance and high-stakes secrets - Spicy scenes and intense emotional payoffs - A fight for survival and the ultimate revengeLengkap

Yours To Keep | 18+
~MATURE CONTENT WARNING~ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ One plan. One mission. There was no room for mistakes, and the slightest error could only mean death. But she was ready. It was simple. Get in, (brutally) murder one man and get out, expeditiously. Lola Summers knew exactly what she had to do. It was a task she spent the better quarter of her life preparing for. It was her life's goal. And she would stop at nothing to achieve that goal... even if it involved taking a calulated risk in the heat of the moment. Initially...Lola knew that taking risks, even if it helped her goal, was self sabotage. Overlooking those risks would be disastrous, and being unprepared for anything was suicide. In the heat of that moment, Lola hadn't for once considered any outside intrusion. She hadn't fully prepared for being seen, and most importantly, she wasn't prepared for being caught. More specifically... being caught by a man who had hesitated to kill her on the spot for what she'd done. A very strange man who made her shiver at the slightest touch and could disarm her with one penetrative gaze. A very peculiar man who wasn't very interested in letting her go either.
