She's spent years hiding from the past. He's spent his life running from it. Now the spirits want them both.
Estelle Mays has a secret-one etched into her skin by the Shadowwood itself. As a rare human Rootwaked, she can feel the emotions and desires of everyone around her, a gift that's more curse than blessing. So she stays hidden, safe in her forest cottage, far from the chaos of Midcity.
Until the boy with no name bleeds into her life.
Raven is quiet, guarded, and dangerous-everything Estelle should push away. But something in him is broken, and something in her can't help but reach for it. What begins as reluctant trust becomes something more, even as secrets unravel around them. Because Raven is tied to the very people who would destroy her-and neither of them can outrun the storm that's coming.
As city and forest edge toward destruction, Estelle and Raven will have to decide: cling to the past that shaped them, or fight for a future they might still choose.

‡† The Unseen †‡
He liked the rain. It was just like him. And it was the only thing that looked at Raven and actually saw Raven. Not 'Raven Eli'. Not the perfect golden boy. Not the optimistic leader with dazzling smiles. Just the quiet, aching mess underneath. Raven had a lot of problems. A lot. Issues in the depths of his psyche hidden so deep he wasn't sure he could remember them all anymore. There was one he wasn't letting go of though. The one that had started to seem more like a coping mechanism with each passing day. He just.. can't stop saving people. Helping. Smiling. Even when it's killing him. At one point he'd wished he could be both rain AND thunder. Loud, angry. Proud. But then the universe answered him by bringing a boy who shows up to school bleeding and bandaged then tells anyone who asks to mind their own damn business. Chaos in human form. He made Raven feel so frustrated and out of sorts. So why did it seem like adding Devon to the mix was just going to make the whole mess tip over and spill? And why was Raven not stopping it? ~This is not a love story. It's a drowning.
The Secret From Within
Xavier Blackwood rules the criminal underworld with an iron fist and a heart encased in ice. Feared by rivals, adored by none, and trusted by fewer, he is a man of power, precision, and brutality. The name Blackwood echoes through the underground like a whispered curse-lethal, cold, and untouchable. No one crosses him and lives to tell the tale. Isabella Santino is a ghost in the world of shadows-an assassin whose elegance and silence are as deadly as her blade. With no past, no ties, and no mercy, she's the weapon the highest bidders beg to command but never truly own. Her loyalty belongs to no one, and her secrets are buried deeper than any grave she's ever filled. When Xavier and Isabella's paths collide in the smoke-filled corridors of betrayal, vengeance, and bloodlust, sparks don't just fly-they ignite a war. What begins as a collision of titans becomes a dangerous dance of dominance, secrets, and obsession. But underneath their hardened exteriors, something stirs. Something forbidden. Something human. In a world where love is weakness and trust is a death sentence, "The Secret From Within" dares to ask: what happens when two monsters fall for the very thing they were taught to destroy? Only one truth remains: every secret has its price. And some... are paid in blood.Completa

Where knocks at the door arrive without footsteps, and feathers fall from nowhere. Her husband, Mason, died once-but something came back with him, and it hasn't left. Now a cloaked figure stands at the edge of the trees. The crows have started circling. And the light inside Amelia is beginning to burn. As ancient forces stir beneath the soil and secrets pulse behind the mirrors, Amelia must uncover what lives in her blood-and what waits on the other side of the Veil to claim it. Some legacies aren't inherited. They awaken.Completa

In a hidden world stitched together by secrets, shadows, and unspoken wars, Elena Raventhorn walks into a life she was never supposed to find. Raised in the underworld but trained like a ghost, she joins a covert organization known only to those who survive it-Sinister Flame. Thrown into chaos, betrayal, and blood-bound missions, Elena must earn her place alongside Crew 67-where loyalty is rare and emotions are liabilities. But nothing could prepare her for them-the rival crew of flawless, cold-blooded operatives who move like gods of ruin. Among them, one pair of eyes sees through her mask. One voice speaks to the storm within her. And when the world begins to burn beneath their feet, he tells her: "You're my first sin... and my last salvation, Eve." A story of fire and frost. Of bullets and secrets. Of the girl who wasn't meant to belong... and the man who would break the code to keep her.

Echoes of Eternal Bloom
Ravenna DuVall isn't like anyone else- because she isn't supposed to be. Born in the magical realm of Dravelle, a world where fairies, witches, and every supernatural creature imaginable roam freely, she was hidden away in an alternate version of earth for her own protection. A spell cast by a witch has kept her safe for over five hundred years, forcing her to unknowingly relive the same life over and over unaware of her true origins. With the spell finally expiring, Ravenna faces the impossible-return to a home she no longer remembers. She is not alone. Lucien Vaelric. A powerful and arrogant vampire, is always near- saving her from danger at every turn, even as he treats her with disdain and cruelty. In a land where magic rules, enemies lurk in the dark, and survival is never promised, Ravenna must navigate the treacherous landscape of Dravelle while uncovering the truth of who she is. Will she survive a world that wants her dead? And can she trust the vampire who seems to despise her yet will stop at nothing to protect her?
