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 Duke Fell for the Villainess
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?Complete
Vayu- the roar of Love and betrayal
Him वायु: सर्वं वहति - सुखं च दुःखं च। The wind carries all - joy and sorrow alike. And so shall I. My heart neither longs nor weeps. It does not crave softness, nor surrender. I was not born to feel - I was forged to fulfill. To carry out the path chosen by fate, uncluttered by chains called emotions. Love. Attachment. Betrayal. They are merely illusions, and illusions are the enemy of kings. If I must bleed, let it be from the sword, not from my soul. If I must break, let it be in battle - not in the arms of longing. This time, the game is mine. I am the player - and the master of every move. Her प्रेम एव शौर्यम् - यत्र युद्धम् आत्मेन आत्मना। Love is the highest valor - where the battlefield lies within the soul. It is easy to conquer kingdoms. The true war begins when the heart rebels, when duty speaks one truth, and love whispers another. One cannot choose who they love - only how fiercely they defend it. I will choose love, even when it breaks me. Even when it stands against purpose, pride, and power. Love is not weakness - It is the divine's courage flowing through fragile hearts. One day, when the mind grows tired of playing games, It is love that will remain - unwavering, undefeated. He was forged to rule. She was born to love. Their union was not a story- it was a storm.
