A Kiss Before Dusk [BOOK 1]
In a kingdom where sunlight ruled and secrets festered beneath silk and stone, a princess lived behind walls built to protect her from the world-and from herself. Her days were scripted, her smiles practiced, her future sealed in ink and royal blood. But beyond the garden wall, past curfews and caution, something ancient stirred. A presence forgotten by time but remembered by shadows. He was a creature of night-cursed, hunted, and hollowed by centuries of silence. A vampire whose name was feared in legend and buried by decree. When their paths crossed beneath a blood-moon sky, fate did not ask permission. It only demanded a price. This is the story of Seraphina, the girl born to wear a crown, and Lucien, the monster taught to hate it. And how love, when truly forbidden, becomes the most dangerous kind of magic.Complete

The Crown of Wilted Gold.
**** After seizing the throne from his brother, Prince Aaron expected to rule-he did not expect to suffer. Kaley is crumbling, its enemies circling like vultures, its people on the brink of despair. The court is a nest of vipers, whispering of his downfall. War looms at the borders, betrayal festers within the palace walls, and the weight of the crown begins to crush the man beneath it. At his side stands Irisa-his Empress, his ruin, the woman he cannot bear to love yet cannot let go. Their marriage was meant to be a partnership, a sanctuary. Instead, it is a battlefield, a slow-burning tragedy unraveling under the strain of duty and deception. Love has no place in the throne room, and as Kaley demands more, Aaron is forced to decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice. But the throne is never truly won-it is only borrowed, and always at a cost. Blood will be spilled. Bonds will break. And in the end, the question is not whether Aaron can hold onto the kingdom, but whether he can survive it.Complete
The Mortal on the Throne
They called her the useless princess, the girl without power, the burden of the crown. When her family betrayed her and gave her to the Devil of the Court, she thought her life was over. Instead, it became something far more dangerous. Bound by a contract of blood and shadow, she should have hated him. Yet in the dark halls of his realm, hatred began to shift into something else. When her family's throne collapsed, he claimed her as his bride. Now she wears a crown no human was ever meant to bear. Life as the Devil's Queen is no fairy tale. His court is filled with creatures that do not bleed, breathe, or dream like she does, and every glance is a warning while every gesture is a test. She was once powerless, but now the fate of two worlds rests on how long she can endure as the only mortal on a throne built of shadows.

Nanì Clearwater, a young healer born with only one wing, has lived his life as an outcast. His gift to channel light is both a blessing and a curse, forcing him to walk the fragile line between survival and sacrifice. When a mysterious illness known as the Black Hunger begins to spread across the land, Nanì finds himself entangled in a destiny far greater than his own. Drawn into court intrigues, rebel plots, and forbidden prophecies, Nanì must journey across kingdoms where mythical beasts rule the skies and sacred forests whisper with memories of gods.

But as Nanì's dreams grow darker and the voice of a forgotten deity calls his name, he learns that his gift is the key to sealing-or shattering-Evangelina's fate forever.
