Azrael's Night is the sacred night of the darkest of thieves and unholiest of criminals. No matter what kind of low-life you were, you always came out and celebrated.
On this night, we meet Achlys Erna - assassin and an angel of death. Death is a cage to most people, but to Achlys, it's freedom. It's a way to escape, to get what she's always wanted. The only thing stopping her? Her boss, Kratos, King of Assassins, and the person who raised and made her who she is.
For years, Achlys has yearned for Kratos's death, to escape from his clutches. What she doesn't know is that Azrael's Night is going to change her whole life. The first surprise of this sacred night being the death of Kratos, and Achlys being framed for his murder.

Stars Don't Listen to Corpses
Moon has Two Sides One In Darkness destined to Rebel One in Starlight destined to Rule Secrets that the Previous High Lord buried deep under the mountain Beneath the glittering illusion of Velaris lies the rotting heart of the Night Court-the Hewn City, where violence is currency and mercy is weakness. Kyros has spent centuries trapped in a cursed cycle: whore by night, cage fighter by day. After his mother's mind broke, he was taken in by the madam of a pleasure house who gave them shelter-for a price. But the Court of Nightmares is rising. Whispers of rebellion swell beneath the mountain, and Kyros, with storm-silver eyes and secrets in his blood, may become the face of it. Azriel has one job: infiltrate the rebel network festering below, gain their trust, and report back to Rhysand. But keeping his distance-especially from the one female he's been warned to avoid-proves harder than expected. He finds distraction in the brothels... until a certain storm-eyed male turns his world upside down. In Kyros, Azriel sees more than a rebel-he sees a mirror. But is he still fighting for the right side? Or has he already become the very thing he swore to destroy? There are secrets buried beneath the mountain-secrets the former High Lord took to his grave.
A Song of Faithless Shadows
Gwyneth had always felt connected to her faith, a higher power presiding over her. That faith had shaken that devastating day those years ago, the day that went on to haunt her every nightmare for years to come. She's still trying to come back from it, to not only restore her faith in life and love, but her faith in herself. The sanctity of her spirit- she prayed for resolve. Every punch was a prayer. Every mile was a hymn. Until her knuckles bled and her knees gave. Azriel had been surrounded by darkness his whole life, a poison on his world, on his being. He exercised restraint in his every waking moment, banishing that darkness within himself. Some guessed of the strain it put on him, but no one knew the extent of it, how deep his scars ran. It was better this way, he was sure. He had always thought that if there were a higher power- which he wholly doubted- such deities must loathe him to have burdened him such darkness. He hadn't much faith in the gods anyway, much less faith that he could sway their opinion on him. But Gwyneth and Azriel did have one thing in common: the quiet fight within themselves. They only knew one way: to go about it alone, couldn't fathom letting another in. But there's a magic in finding someone who is your equal but opposite, something transforming. And frankly, Gwyneth and Azriel could both use a little magic. All characters owned by SJM in the ACOTAR series. Story takes place after the events of ACOSF. Aligns with the events in my other fic: A Storm of Flames and Deceit. I haven't finished Crescent City, so this story takes place outside of the events of those books as well.

But everything shifts when he crosses paths with Delphine, a seductive and bold siren thief with a wicked smile and a knack for disappearing just when he gets too close. She's chaos wrapped in charm, leaving soul-drained corpses and sarcastic notes in her wake. He's the blade sent to stop her... until the bond reveals something far more complicated. Now hunted and haunted by each other, Delphine and Azriel are locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse-where secrets run deep, hearts betray logic, and neither one is willing to lose. Not to the other. Not even to fate.![The Shadowed Lily [ACOTAR Fan-Fiction]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/375188412-256-k979650.jpg)
