"You think I'm your enemy, yet here you are-holding my hand like it's the last thing you'll ever touch."
Princess Ilyria of Vaelthar has never wanted war. But when her kingdom, rich with salt mines and kindness, teeters on the edge of ruin after a brutal war, she is forced into a desperate bargain: marry Prince Kael of Drevain-the fierce warrior heir to an enemy throne. Bound by duty, trapped by tradition, Ilyria must walk the razor's edge between submission and survival.
As the marriage draws them closer, a fierce and forbidden passion ignites between them, tangled with secrets, betrayals, and the weight of two kingdoms' fate. But when another player from Ilyria's past reemerges-one who would kill to claim her and shatter the fragile peace-their world spirals into war once more.
Can Ilyria wield love as a weapon? Or will the brutal game of power consume them all?

Fated In Shadows
She was meant to be his pawn. He never expected her to become his ruin. When Sera Valeor is forced to marry King Maeron Thorne-Aerthwyn's feared and ruthless monarch-she knows the union is a lie, forged in blood and power. Chosen for her noble bloodline but shunned for her family's disgrace, Sera enters the palace as little more than a bargaining chip. But kings should know better than to underestimate a queen in a crimson gown. As Sera uncovers forbidden truths hidden in the palace walls-secrets about the lost queens before her, about the southern wing sealed in silence, and about a child whose blood threatens the very throne-she begins to unravel the lies Maeron has built his kingdom upon. Yet Maeron is not the monster she expected. Cold, calculating, and devastatingly commanding, he holds her body in the dark of night and dares her soul to remain her own. But even wolves bleed. And some thrones are made of more than steel-they're forged in oaths and thorns. Trapped between desire and betrayal, vengeance and destiny, Sera must decide: will she be the king's crown or his curse? Perfect for fans of slow-burn tension, forced marriage, court intrigue, and dangerously seductive rulers, Thorns and Oaths is a darkly romantic fantasy where secrets are currency-and love is the deadliest weapon of all.Concluída

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.

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.
✩ Darling Disaster ✩| Fairy Tale Gone Wrong |
Fairytales were never meant for girls like her. Illyria was meant to be the jewel of her kingdom-a perfect bride locked away in a floating castle, guarded by a beast until a hero came to claim her. But. Unfortunately for everyone, Illyria has never been good at following the script... or staying put. With a emotion-driven magic and a dragon who cares more about snacks than savagery, her escape from the tower is anything but graceful. But freedom comes with a price. The prophecy tied to her whispers doom: if Illyria falls in love with the wrong man, kingdoms will crumble. And the wrong man is already watching. Lucien Duskbane- "The Villain" in every wrong stories - is dark, ruthless, and far too handsome for anyone's good-intended to use Illyria as a weapon. What he didn't expect was a girl who laughed at danger, out-magicked her own disasters, and turned his carefully constructed plans into a mess of silk, fire, and sass. Now, with a sparkly prince chasing her for marriage, a villain pursuing her, and an ever-growing trail of magical mayhem in her wake, Illyria must decide what kind of disaster she's willing to be-darling or deadly. But one thing's certain - this is not how fairy tales are supposed to go.
