He was born with light in his veins-Elian, a rare healer whose touch could mend even the deepest wounds, and whose soul burned too brightly for the world he was given. Found in a quiet village, he became a beacon for Prince Thayan, who saw in him a hope, a future... and unknowingly, a fracture in the heart of his most loyal guardian, Thame.
But light never shines without casting a shadow.
From the depths of the cursed lands, Kael-a tyrant bound to darkness and ancient suffering-sensed the stirrings of power that could free him. Or break him.
When Elian is torn from his fragile sanctuary and thrown into Kael's abyss, he is no longer just a boy-he becomes a prize, a salvation, a thing to possess. In Kael's realm, love is cruelty, and desire is a weapon. Elian's purity becomes both his shield and his curse.
In the Cradle of Ruin, where kings are made from shadows and saints are broken on altars of obsession, three fates entwine. One loves from afar, one devours up close, and one must choose whether to burn... or be burned.
How do you protect the light, when the dark wants to cradle it?

🌙 Seventeen-year-old Luan Dervishi has always known one truth: if the world doesn't kill you, the people in it will. Abandoned, hunted, and betrayed by the only family he ever had, Luan didn't fall off that cliff, he jumped. Death was the plan. But fate doesn't care about plans. Instead of silence and oblivion, Luan awakens in a world that shouldn't know his name, yet somehow, it does. Dragged through a portal by something ancient and watching, he lands in a realm where cities breathe secrets, maps rewrite themselves, and power answers to him like an echo long buried. A power that isn't his, yet fits him too well. A power the rulers, outcasts, and monsters of this world would do anything to claim. He didn't ask for a second chance. He didn't want one. Now, bound to a magic that pulses with memory and intent, Luan is being pulled deeper into a story written long before his birth, one that wants him to play hero, saviour, maybe even king. But Luan isn't here to be anyone's symbol. As cities fall and truths rot from the inside out, Luan walks a road twisted by loyalty, vengeance, and a past even he can't fully recall. Because in this world of gods, ghosts, and fractured fate, not everything that bleeds is alive... ...and not everything that lives deserves to. 🌑 "Is this the part where I'm supposed to kneel?" "You were never meant to kneel." "Good. Because I didn't come to worship your gods. I came to bury them." ---------------------------- Book [1-???] (BEING REWRITTEN!!)
× Parkside Manor × (BxB)
"Who the fuck do you think you are, talking to me?" The foreign man's eyes looked me up and down, making my skin prickle. The environment was unknown, thrumming with magic I couldn't place. Did this place even exist on earth? " Excuse me? I'm the keeper of this place! And you just came crashing in out of nowhere! And for the record? That's not supposed to happen." The 'keeper' as he called himself, pointed at me, his expression pinched. "And that's my fault, how?" I rolled my eyes, wincing slightly as I shifted my weight off my injured foot. "You're just an annoying little-" I coughed, looking at my hand. Blood? I wasn't supposed to bleed. Not like this. "What was that?" He looked at me cheekily. "Just get me the fuck out of here." "Ha, I don't think so. You're staying here until we figure out why the hell you managed to get through impenetrable magic. Besides, you wouldn't survive the transfer anyways. Not in that state." He eyed me, practically mocking me. "..." I growled. "I'll kill you." "And then you'll never get out, so what'll it be? My head, or your escape. Your choice." God, I hate Wizards. ___________________________________ Welcome back, any of you who have been reading OGB. And if you're new, feel free to check it out.

Where There is Desire

But he didn't expect Ronan.

Cursed Hearts: The Shadow Prince
In a city where magic is outlawed, a fallen prince hides behind his empire of shadows-until a fearless commoner accidentally binds her soul to his curse. Now, loving him means dying with him. Synopsis Magic was banned from Aetheris City a decade ago, after the royal family's dark secret burned half the kingdom to ash. But magic never truly disappeared-it just went underground. Cassia Vale, a twenty-one-year-old street healer, survives by using her forbidden gift in secret. She swore never to get involved with nobles. Never again. Until she saves the life of a man she shouldn't have touched. A man who bleeds black smoke instead of blood. A man whose name the world forgot-Prince Kael Draven, heir to the fallen throne, cursed by his own father to live in eternal shadow. But their accidental bond awakens an ancient prophecy. The curse that destroys everything Kael loves now begins to consume Cassia's heart too. And the only way to break it- is to fall in love before the final eclipse.
Confess I Love You
They call me a mage of light, but light has never truly belonged to me. What lives in my chest is no gift, it is a curse. A mark that burns, binding me to powers I cannot control, a mark that the Shadow Herald himself hunts, whispering that one day it will consume me whole. I should have told Kael. I should have told him long ago, before the secrets turned into chains of their own. But how could I confess, to the boy who fights at my side, who smiles as if I were his sun, when every truth I hold could shatter what we have? The Heart of Dawn was supposed to save us. Instead, it revealed me. At the Academy of Eldoria, shadows slipped past ancient wards, and students fell screaming. In my desperation, I burned myself nearly to death to keep them safe. Now Kael, Calista, Thorne, even little Vivi, they fight beside me, yet I wonder how long they'll stay once they learn the whole truth. This is not a tale of chosen heroes. It is a tale of a cursed girl who wields light with shaking hands, and who loves with a heart chained in shadow.
