In a kingdom cloaked in shadows, Princess Erwin is bound by duty to marry King Peyton-the feared ruler of the dark lands. Whispers of his cruelty and blood-stained past echo through the halls of her palace, and though her heart is kind, her trust is hard-earned. Peyton is everything she was warned about: cold, calculating, and merciless. Yet, to her-and only her-he shows a flicker of warmth.

Despite his icy demeanor, Peyton's eyes soften when they meet hers, his voice gentler in her presence. For a time, Erwin cannot understand it-his loyalty, his quiet gestures, his rare, fragile smiles. Love blooms in one heart while the other remains guarded, watching, doubting.

But the longer she stands beside him, the more she sees past the shadows. In the cracks of his armor, Erwin discovers a man burdened by power but guided by something deeper: a hidden kindness, a loyalty unshaken, and a fierce devotion to her alone.

As danger looms and secrets unravel, Erwin must decide whether to fear the man the world hates-or to love the man only she truly knows.Tous Droits Réservés

The Thorn Court, écrit par Miss_Malfoysbaby

A dark fantasy romance novel In a realm where kingdoms are held together by ancient blood pacts and magic older than the gods, the Thorn Court rots in silence. Once a radiant elven kingdom, it is now a cursed land ruled by a heartless fae king, Vaelen-a creature both beautiful and cruel, who commands shadows and wears a crown of thorns. Every hundred years, he demands a mortal bride to renew the pact that keeps his realm from collapsing into the Void. None have ever returned. This time, the bride is not chosen. She volunteers. Selene Caerwyn is a mortal healer with a terrible secret-her soul is bound to an ancient, dark spirit she cannot control. When her village is ravaged by cursed beasts, she offers herself to the Thorn King in exchange for her people's protection, hoping to barter her cursed soul for their salvation. But the court is not what it seems. Nor is the king. As Selene navigates the haunted halls of a kingdom built on broken promises and dead queens, she finds herself drawn to the shadows Vaelen commands-and to the broken, beautiful man beneath the crown. But the spirit within her is waking. And the Void is watching. When love begins to bloom where only death was meant to grow, Selene must choose: surrender to the monster within her, or burn the curse to the ground. And Vaelen must decide whether he is willing to feel again-even if it kills them both.

Til Death Do We Part, écrit par kb_mafia

In death, she waited. In love, she was betrayed. In vengeance, she rises. In the decaying city of Graven Hollow, where the living rot behind masks of civility and wealth, young Lucain Graves is chained to a loveless engagement and a crumbling family legacy. Haunted by visions of the dead and disillusioned by the coldness of the world above, he flees into the ancient woods on the eve of his wedding. There, beneath a twisted weeping tree, he speaks a vow never meant to be heard - and awakens something long forgotten. She was once Lilth Everlight, a beautiful bride betrayed on the night of her wedding and buried in her gown beneath cursed soil. Now she walks again - not as a ghost, but as a revenant driven by longing, fury, and something far older than love. Bound by blood and ritual, Lucain is dragged into a realm where the dead speak truths the living fear to whisper. As the veil thins between the worlds, the past claws its way into the present, and both Lucain and his living bride-to-be, Vivian, must confront the monstrous secrets buried beneath lace, lies, and centuries of rot. In this world, love does not conquer death. It marries it.

"𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚." Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored. His target? The Bratva kingpin's sister, Olivia Morozov-a sheltered girl who knows little to nothing about the dark underworld her family controls, having been shielded from the darker truths of her family's empire her entire life. Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize. As secrets and long-buried lies unravel around her, she realises she's caught in a game where the unrelenting fight for power holds more value than human lives-including her own. Santino is cold, calculating, and relentless - everything Olivia should fear. Yet, she is intrigued by by his deadly nature. The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.

Crown of Shadows, écrit par aadrikawrts

She is elegant, strong, and carries a past no one knows-a childhood shadowed by loss, heartbreak, and sacrifices that shaped her into a woman both graceful and guarded. He is a prince, cold and untouchable to the world, carrying secrets of his own, a life dictated by duty, rules, and the crown he never chose. When their paths cross, the world outside stops making sense. She doesn't know he's royalty, and he hides behind a mask of distance, but neither can ignore the pull growing between them. In a palace of whispers, hidden agendas, and family intrigues, every glance, every touch, and every unspoken word becomes a battlefield of desire and restraint. As past wounds resurface, old secrets threaten to destroy them, and everyone around them seems to have an opinion about what love should be, can two hearts that have known pain and sacrifice find their way to each other? Or will the shadows of their pasts keep them apart forever? A story of slow-burning romance, royal intrigue, hidden identities, and love that fights its way through every obstacle.

The feared Crimson King, écrit par MsDarkerdays

I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head. He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper. His eyes wander outside to the window. "You will address me as 'your highness' and I do not tolerate mistakes. I will punish you and you will never forget to follow my orders. Do I make myself clear?" -------------------- In this world everybody has a soulmate. Two people that are meant to be together for the rest of their lives.

Ashes of the Vow, écrit par kittyboimrow

An assassin with secrets. A man with scars. Love was never supposed to be part of the deal. "We can't," he said, his voice rough but final. The rejection was a physical blow. Humiliation, hot and sharp, washed over me, followed immediately by a fury so intense it blurred my vision. I released his jacket like it was on fire, snatching my hand back from his chest. Of course. Of course. I shoved open the van door, the metal screeching in protest. I practically fell out into the garage, needing to put distance between us, needing to breathe air he hadn't just stolen from my lungs. "Thorn-" he began, his voice following me out. I spun around, cutting him off. The words came out laced with a venom I didn't entirely feel, a weapon to match the hurt. "Don't. Just... don't." I was furious. Furious at him for starting it. Furious at him for stopping. But most of all, I was furious at myself. Furious for wanting it. For leaning in. For letting him make me feel, for one stupid second, like I was cared for. When Thorn-an elite assassin with too many secrets-collapses on the doorstep of Ash Penbrook, she expects death, not rescue. Ash is a powerful businessman with his own scars and a vendetta against the same organization Thorn once served. Forced into an uneasy alliance, their world becomes a battlefield of ambushes, betrayals, and buried truths. Survival draws them closer, but trust is dangerous-and love even more so. As enemies close in, both must decide: are they each other's salvation...or the final weapon that will destroy them?

THE CROWNED CAPTIVE, écrit par Chloesubaru531

They called him the Shade. A masked ruler made of whispers and ruin. No one sees him. No one survives him. Until he took her. Mira Solen, royal heir. Brilliant, untouchable, and burning with a power she doesn't yet understand. When she's stolen from the capital and thrown into the shadows of his forbidden court, she doesn't beg. She bargains. But The Shade doesn't deal in mercy - only obsession. And he's waited too long to make her his. Now, trapped between a villain who owns her and the golden hero who wants to save her, Mira must choose: burn down the darkness... or become it. In a world of twisted loyalties, ancient curses, and velvet-laced lies, one truth remains: Love is a weapon. And she's about to master it.
