Arroline Kimora Ghyslaina, a girl born for beauty and grace, is consumed by a love for Prince Ezrin Ishmael Abraxas, heir to the throne of Moonveil Citadel. But Ezrin remains a cold statue, his heart a fortress of ice, impervious to her affections.
As Arroline's love for him blossoms, so does a deadly curse - the Hanahaki Disease. Crimson petals bloom inside her lungs, each cough a symphony of pain, each petal a bloody testament to her unreturned love. The grand halls of Moonveil Citadel, once shimmering with splendor, become a tomb of her unrequited passion.
Arroline's world is a delicate dance of courtly intrigue, a battlefield of whispered ambitions and unspoken betrayals. She must navigate this treacherous landscape while her body slowly withers under the curse's grip. Every smile is a mask, every glance a potential weapon.
Can she find a way to break free from the curse's grip, or will her love consume her, leaving only a whisper of a rose on the wind, a tragic echo of a love that was never meant to be?
This novel is about a love that blooms into a deadly curse, turning the heart's desire into a slow, agonizing death.The heart-wrenching pain of loving someone who doesn't love you back, and the desperation it can breed. And the struggle for survival in a world where power, intrigue, and hidden agendas reign, and where love is a dangerous game.

In the kingdom of Aeloria, Princess Anastasia Valenhart was born into duty - her destiny written long before she could speak it. At eighteen, her life is meant to begin with ceremony, beauty, and the promise of a royal marriage. But behind the silks and the crown lies a young woman who dreams of freedom, of choosing her own fate in a world ruled by bloodlines and war.

Ruthless in battle and haunted by a childhood of pain, Vaeryn is driven by vengeance, determined to seize power by any means necessary... even if it means taking the princess of his enemy kingdom as his captive. But when the kidnapping succeeds, both captor and captive find themselves trapped in a battle far more dangerous than any fought with steel. As Anastasia resists her new reality with fire and defiance, Vaeryn finds his own control slipping - torn between his hunger for conquest and the strange, unwanted feelings that the princess stirs within him.

Author, Rewrite This Story
[From the stories of Azuden0, Volume 2. Pride, the Enlightenment. Chapter 1, Birth of Magecraft] Prologue: Khiel, an uprising novel writer, known for writing fantasy love stories, especially boy's love. Readers clung to his tales, enchanted by the vivid worlds, the palpable yearning between characters, and the depth of emotion that ran through every page. The titles were acclaimed. The plots, genius. The themes? Unforgettable. But the endings? They shattered hearts, no matter how beautiful the beginning. Khiel's stories always ended in ruin. His characters always end in tragedy. The love always fell. Not once had the main characters escaped fate. The tragedy was not just the theme, it was his fingerprint. No matter the cries for happiness, no matter the pleading letters from readers begging for mercy. His characters were doomed. They earned him the name "The Heartbreak King of Fantasy". Then came the latest book, their breaking point. A massive number of readers across the continent rose in uproar. Demanding a change, they seek a good ending, an ending where all the sacrifices and hardship that the main lead SHOULD be rewarded. He tried to deny their protest, protect his pride, his art. But stories have teeth. His newest tale turned on him. And what would you do if you, yourself, had been transported to that story? Would you dare rewrite the story to save yourself, or let the story proceed to what it was? And what if you dare not change it, and your life could be at risk? Would you dare stay idle and watch that world unfold into the chaos you, yourself, created? ©Azuden0 All Rights Reserved Book cover done in Canva, photos from Pinterest.

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.
