Morgan "Crimsoncrown" Redglorie was never meant to rule.

Princess Morgan is the forgotten daughter, born after three healthy, strapping sons. Sharp-tongued, iron-willed, yet kept far from the crown, Morgan resigns herself to the loom, expecting that her life is forfeit to be married to another family. But after the mysterious deaths of her siblings and the sudden poisoning of the queen, Morgan is thrust into power as queen-regent, with enemies in every shadow and blood on every hand.

To survive her court brimming with vipers, she summons the seven greatest knights in the realm. Among them is Lady Rowan Scarletsward, the idealistic tenth daughter of a noble house, a graceful tourney-knight, the never-heir-and a girl Morgan remembers only as a toddler.

Now Rowan is taller, louder, hopelessly idealistic -- and assigned to guard Morgan's door.

But as dead servants start appearing in the halls and suspicion creeps through the court like ivy through stone, Morgan realizes the perpetrator may be closer than anyone dares to think.

I grew up safe, protected, adored, certain of the life that awaited me. A grand estate, a devoted father... a wedding to the perfect man. But the altar crumbled beneath me, my world ripped apart in a heartbeat. The silk turned to ruin, vows to ash, and in one heartbeat, everything I knew was gone. I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim. He doesn't ask for my trust, he takes it, drags me into a world of lies, bold betrayals, and secrets I wasn't prepared to see. And the truth? I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems. And the man in the shadows... he is the storm I can't outrun. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.

"I went to the masquerade for one night. I left with a mark, a monster, and a curse I can't outrun." Megan Wise never wanted to be chosen - not by the beast in the black-and-gold mask, not by the court that hides behind velvet and blood, and definitely not by the bond that ties her to something ancient and hungry. When her best friend goes missing, Megan is dragged into a world of vampires, lies, and power she was never meant to survive. But she doesn't break. She bites back. Obsession, betrayal, and a war whispered through mirrorglass - this is no love story. This is what happens when a girl refuses to kneel. 🩸 Dark Romance • 🖤 Gothic Masquerade • 🗡️ Enemies to Something Worse For readers who like their love feral, and their monsters even worse.
