When the Moon Bleeds into Dawn
Every thousand years, the gods demand a love story. Aeloria Vale, the devout yet restless priestess of Solynne, has spent her life preparing to serve the goddess of Light - a divinity that answers only through silence and fire. On the morning of her Choosing, she wakes from a dream of blood and wings - and of a man whose name burns on her tongue like a sin. Kael Draven, the last warrior of a ruined bloodline, carries a curse older than his kingdom. Bound to a dragon and haunted by the voice of the Reaper of Dusk, he dreams of a woman he's never met - and of the countless times he's killed her. When war ignites between their realms, destiny draws them together once more. Their souls recognize what their minds cannot: they have loved and destroyed each other across a thousand lifetimes, each death sealing the divine curse that shackles the world of Velithra in eternal twilight. But something has changed. In this life, she is not a girl of faith, and he is not a man of mercy. In this life, they remember too much. And the gods are growing restless. In a realm where dragons are worshiped as gods, fae courts weave truth into lies, and love itself is an act of rebellion, Aeloria and Kael must decide whether to break the curse - or become the very monsters it created. Lyrical, sensual, and unflinchingly dark, When the Moon Bleeds into Dawn is a sweeping romantasy of divine punishment, immortal love, and the thin line between devotion and damnation.
The Mark of the Starflower
Aeloria has spent her life running- from guards, from hunger, from her mother's bitterness. By day she sells spices at the market. By night, she smuggles what she must to keep her brother and grandmother alive. Magic is outlawed in Pitaya, but Aeloria has always known she was different. The mark on her collarbone proves it-though she's never understood what it means. When her childhood best friend Riley returns from the royal guard stronger, older, and far more dangerous than she remembered, friendship turns to something more. But someone else has noticed Aeloria: Prince Alastair, golden heir to the throne, who is far too charming-and far too curious about her mark. Drawn into a web of forbidden romance, political intrigue, and secrets that stretch beyond her kingdom, Aeloria begins to discover her hidden power: flux, the ability to bend intention into reality. A gift-or a curse-that could change the world. But when the king himself marks her for death, Aeloria learns the truth: The Starflower is no ordinary birthmark. It is prophecy. And she is its heart.
All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
