Ink and Obsidian
A dark romantic fantasy where ink is as dangerous as blood, and love is the sharpest rebellion.
Elara Vale never wanted a throne. All she wanted was her quiet bookstore in the shadows of a crumbling kingdom and the safety of silence. But when a fugitive prince with fire in his blood crashes into her world, she's forced to choose between anonymity and the truth she's hidden for years.
Kaelith Ashorne is a blade without a sheath, the exiled heir of a broken empire. Crownless, hunted, and desperate, he seeks refuge in the one place untouched by war: a forgotten bookshop-and the woman who runs it. Elara is clever, guarded, and far too dangerous to trust. But she may be his only chance to reclaim more than just a throne.
Together, they navigate court conspiracies, ancient rebellions, and the slow-burn of a love neither of them asked for. But the deeper they go, the more they uncover secrets inked in blood-and a kingdom built on lies.
Power was never meant to be gentle.
Love was never meant to survive this.

"Elara~Prince Twisted Obsession"
In the grand kingdom of Verathia, where power and politics rule, Prince Alistair is known as a cold and calculating figure in the royal court. Born into a world of betrayal, alliances, and constant scrutiny, Alistair learned from a young age that love is a weakness he cannot afford. He's known for his sharp intellect and ruthless decisions in court, having been groomed to take over the throne. However, behind closed doors, his obsession isn't with power-it's with a commoner, Lady Elara. Elara is an innocent, kind-hearted young woman from a noble yet distant family, largely removed from the palace's inner workings. She's sweet, humble, and untouched by the court's manipulations. She meets Alistair by chance when her family is summoned to court over a land dispute. Unaware of the prince's intense gaze, Elara quickly becomes the object of his fascination. What begins as an innocent meeting soon turns into a dangerous game as Alistair's obsession with Elara grows. He is determined to keep her close, seeing her as the only source of purity in his dark world. Alistair views Elara as a symbol of purity in his otherwise corrupt world, and his obsession with her is driven by a desire to possess something untainted by power. He is deeply conflicted, as his obsession is at odds with his belief that emotions are weaknesses. Elara, on the other hand, is unaware of the extent of Alistair's obsession. While she may feel a sense of intrigue or fascination with him, she is largely naive to the depth of his intentions, making her a target of his possessive nature without fully understanding the danger.Complete
