On the treacherous waters of the Azurian Sea sails Seren, the pirate princess with a vanished kingdom in her blood and the ocean at her back. Brave, clever, and impossible to catch-Seren was a whispered legend, more illusion than woman. Her favorite trick? Disappearing.
Valkhar, the infamous dark lord of the shattered mainland, has set empires ablaze for less than a whisper of betrayal. But when he sees Seren for the first time, something ancient stirs-something neither magic nor madness can smother.
Their worlds collide at a royal wedding meant to unify the fractured lands. But secrets spill with wine, blood flows thicker than politics, and the truth threatens everything: Seren is the true heir to the empire. Now hunted by the very realms they once defied, Seren and Valkhar must survive betrayal, face destiny, and ignite a war that could save-or end-the world.

Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete
My Last Oath Is Your Name
"You were sent to ruin me." His words were low, almost broken. Serenya's throat tightened, but she didn't look away. "I was." Silence stretched-then his head dropped to rest on her shoulder, reckless, aching. "Then why does it feel like you're the only one keeping me whole?" ----------- Serenya Althar was meant to fade quietly after her family's disgrace. Instead, she's forced into a dangerous bargain: spy on the kingdom's feared war captain, Darian Valeric, or lose the only chance to prove her family's innocence. Disguised as a servant, she slips into his household, armed with nothing but her wit, her courage, and the lies she must tell to survive. But Darian is no fool. Cold, sharp-eyed, and haunted by scars no one speaks of, he notices her. Tests her. And while every step closer risks exposing her secret, every stolen glance draws her deeper into the very man she swore to deceive. In a house filled with silence, suspicion, and secrets, one truth becomes impossible to deny: The greatest danger is not being caught... It's falling for him.
My Dear Damned Darling (NEW RELEASE)
She's one of the last of her kind. For centuries, she's lived in hiding, a demon among humans, forced to bury the memory of a war that slaughtered her sisters until the world forgot they ever existed. Everyone believes the demons are gone. Extinct. But she's still here-watching from the shadows, burning with secrets too dangerous to tell. He's the prince of the bloodline that destroyed them. The heir to a dynasty built on her people's ashes. Her enemy by birthright. Their paths should never cross. He should never have noticed her. Yet across the chaos of a crowded marketplace, his gaze collides with hers-and nothing is the same. One glance ignites a fire. One fire becomes a pull-sharp, undeniable, dragging them closer with every heartbeat. The one person she should hate more than anyone becomes the one her body aches for. His stare lingers too long, her breath catches too fast, and the space between them feels charged-fragile, breakable, like a single step would close it. Every look, every breath, is an almost-kiss stretched tight with danger and desire... a hunger that could ruin them both, yet dares them to fall anyway. Loving him could destroy her. Leaving him could destroy the world. And when the choice comes, the world won't burn around them...it will burn because of them. ***This story contains mature themes that may not be suitable for all readers. Discretion is advised.
The Demon's Promise
Left on a lonely beach as a child, Seren was found by a kind couple and raised in a quiet coastal village - but the sea never forgot her, and neither did the darkness that brought her there. As Seren grows, strange things follow her: flickers of power, whispers in her dreams, a feeling that something is waiting just beyond the waves. Despite her warmth and quick wit, she's a troubled girl - haunted by visions she can't explain and a voice that sounds too much like her own. When tragedy strikes and Seren falls into a coma, she awakens in a world between life and death... and comes face-to-face with the truth: her mother is no human. She is a demon - ancient, furious, and ready to reclaim what she made. Seren escapes back to her world believing her mother's lies of love and redemption. But as the years pass, the sky begins to fracture, the oceans burn, and the truth surfaces - her mother is the one ending everything. Now, with her powers spiraling out of control and the world collapsing around her, Seren must face the woman who gave her life... and may be forced to take it away.Complete
Vail of Thorns
Our story begins in a world where magic is a currency, and power is the only true god. The Fae are hunted, imprisoned, or bent into service.

In this shadowed land, an innocent love is warped by desperate need and the crushing weight of expectation. From this corruption, an ancient evil stirs. Its goal is to shatter the veil that protects our world, to tear open the Fae Realm and drain its magic dry-all to feed a sinister hunger for dominion, no matter the cost. Darkness, after all, does not always storm the gates. Often, it seeps in through the cracks in the human heart. The journey ahead is long, paved with secrets and woven with lies. But hold fast. For even the deepest night must break, and a new dawn awaits on the horizon.
