After losing her entire family-her mother in a fire, her brother in an attack, and her father to a betrayal that painted him as a villain-Jean is left alone in a world that hates her. Only a few believe the truth: that her father, Decalane, died a hero while the world's glory was stolen by Solaris, the golden son of the League.
Now, seven years later, Jean is no longer the lost child crying in the rain. Hidden away in the wilderness with her only friend Derel and his kind-hearted aunt Greta, she has trained, grown, and prepared. But revenge takes more than strength-it takes patience, strategy, and sacrifice.
Her next step? Infiltrate Solar Academy, the elite institution run by the very organization that framed her father. With a new identity and a hidden past, Jean steps into a world of powerful students, corrupt heroes, and secrets that could shatter the kingdom.
But as she walks the line between justice and vengeance, she must decide: will she destroy the world that wronged her-or become strong enough to change it?
A story of loss, identity, betrayal, and the fire that remains when everything else is gone.

My Dear Damned Darling (NEW RELEASE)
She's one of the last of her kind. For centuries, she's lived in hiding, a demon among humans, forced to bury the memory of a war that slaughtered her sisters until the world forgot they ever existed. Everyone believes the demons are gone. Extinct. But she's still here-watching from the shadows, burning with secrets too dangerous to tell. He's the prince of the bloodline that destroyed them. The heir to a dynasty built on her people's ashes. Her enemy by birthright. Their paths should never cross. He should never have noticed her. Yet across the chaos of a crowded marketplace, his gaze collides with hers-and nothing is the same. One glance ignites a fire. One fire becomes a pull-sharp, undeniable, dragging them closer with every heartbeat. The one person she should hate more than anyone becomes the one her body aches for. His stare lingers too long, her breath catches too fast, and the space between them feels charged-fragile, breakable, like a single step would close it. Every look, every breath, is an almost-kiss stretched tight with danger and desire... a hunger that could ruin them both, yet dares them to fall anyway. Loving him could destroy her. Leaving him could destroy the world. And when the choice comes, the world won't burn around them...it will burn because of them. ***This story contains mature themes that may not be suitable for all readers. Discretion is advised.
