Every decade, the Thornwood demands a girl.
And this year, it wants Aeris.
Offered as a sacrifice by the village that raised her, Aeris steps into the cursed forest with no illusions - only the will to survive whatever beast waits in the dark. But she never expected him: the cursed prince, bound by blood magic and centuries of silence, with eyes like embers and a voice that turns promises into sins.
He's no savior.
She's no maiden.
And the forest doesn't care what either of them were supposed to be.
What begins as a ritual becomes a twisted game of power and temptation. In the heart of a forest that hungers for blood, Aeris finds herself drawn to the one creature more dangerous than the curse itself - the one who was never meant to want her back.
But desire comes with a price.
And some loves were never meant to bloom in the dark.
Darkly seductive, emotionally sharp, and full of thorn-laced tension - perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Carissa Broadbent, and Sylvia Mercedes.

But on the eve of her fate being sealed, Serétha runs. The wilds beyond the palace are not freedom - they are hunger, cruelty, and the kind of darkness stories never warn you about. And Serétha isn't just being hunted by men who believe they own her... she's being pulled toward something she doesn't understand - something old, forbidden, and waking inside her blood. A thief with too much charm. A prince with a devotion sharp enough to cut. A world ruled by gods who do not forgive. Serétha wanted a choice. Now she has one - and it might burn Aethriel to the bone.Complete

Thorns and Shadows
Eli Thorn thought her only talent was keeping plants alive and sarcasm sharper than pruning shears. Then her best friend disappeared into the forbidden Moonveil Forest and the vines started whispering her name. Dragged into a world where beauty deceives and danger blooms, Eli discovers the truth: she's the heir to a forgotten fae bloodline tied to the forest's curse. To save her friend, and herself, she must trust Koa, a shadow-bound fae whose secrets could end them both. In Moonveil, every heartbeat feeds the forest, and every secret has thorns.
The Hollow Prince
COMPLETED. *NSFW* Auralie doesn't believe in fae stories-not the ones whispered by dying villagers, not the ones about cursed woods or monsters that eat your heart. But when girls begin to vanish and strange symbols bleed from the bark of the forest, she crosses the veil in search of answers. What she finds is him. Unmoving. Inhuman. Wearing a crown of antlers and eyes like cut emeralds, sharp with amusement. He speaks in riddles. Smiles like a threat. And calls her little moth, like a name he's been saving. The first time they meet, she draws his blood. The second, he offers her a bargain. The third, he consumes her. The Hollow Prince says worse things hunt her now-creatures that wear her face, sing her name, and slip into her dreams. He claims he's the only thing standing between her and the dark. But the deeper Auralie goes, the more twisted the forest becomes-and the harder it is to tell whether the prince is her captor, her shield, or the very thing she was warned to fear. There is a curse. A game. And a price that was never hers to pay.Complete
A Court of Shadows And Lights
For everyone who is sick of waiting for Sarah J Maas to finally release Azriel's story. And everyone who doesn't want him to end up with Gwyn or Elaine. Here is my version of his love story that takes place right at the end of the original A Court of Thorns and Roses. Amarantha's daughter, Marlie, just got out from Under the Mountain where she got trapped for 50 years, just for trying to confront her mother. When Feyre, Cursebreaker, manages the trials and frees everyone, Marlie somehow finds herself winnowed into Velaris, Rhysands other Court. There, she raises the attention of the High Lord and the inner circle for entering through the warding. Especially Azriel's attention. (I wrote this story nearly three years ago, so it's not my greatest work, but I wanted to share it so you can have my take on Azriel's story before Sarah J. Maas actually publishes hers) *Excluding some original characters, all characters and places belong to Sarah J. Maas*Complete
The Devil's Crown
Princess Aeris Daphne Smith has three problems: 1. She's sixteen, sarcastic, and utterly uninterested in becoming a pawn in her kingdom's political marriage game. 2. She's cursed to die young, thanks to some ancient family secret no one wants to talk about. 3. Oh-and there's a hot new court scholar who's definitely a demon sent to steal her soul. Zephaniah has harvested thousands of souls without hesitation. Cold, calculating, and disguised as a charming nobleman, he's sent to Eldoria for one simple task: make Aeris emotionally vulnerable, then rip her soul out like a well-cooked roast. Easy. Until she starts making jokes at his expense. Until he starts laughing. Until he realizes he's in more danger than she is. Falling in love was never part of the deal. As court intrigue tightens, assassins close in, and celestial forces close the noose around Aeris's fate, the two must decide: defy prophecy and burn the world down for each other-or play their roles and lose everything. Sharp-witted, darkly romantic, and deliciously twisted, The Devil's Crown is a story of love, curses, and the worst possible timing.Complete
