Lyra's no stranger to bad decisions-she's got a tarot deck, a questionable incense habit, and a knack for chaos. But when a night at a bar turns deadly, she's thrust into a nightmare she can't wake from. Stabbed, bleeding, and left for dead in the woods, Lyra makes a desperate deal with Morveth, a shadowy entity who's no angel and definitely no demon. Now, marked by a mysterious sigil and haunted by the blood on her hands, she's alive-but at what cost? As her new powers spiral out of control and the police close in on a missing body, Lyra must unravel Morveth's cryptic "wishes" before they consume her soul. With her coven of misfit friends by her side, she's ready to fight-for her life, her sanity, and the truth buried in the forest.
A gritty YA supernatural thriller about trauma, power, and the price of survival. Updates weekly.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

THE UNSTABLE PACT
A Cursed Witch. A Captive God. An Irrevocable Bond. For years, Lyra Blackwood has been slowly dying, tainted by the ancestral Ash Curse-a slow, miserable rot that has claimed her entire lineage. Desperate for a cure, she attempts the forbidden: a volatile ritual to harness a captured entity of pure power. Instead of a cure, she finds Kaelen, the devastatingly beautiful Lord of Shadow, and accidentally binds him to her very soul. - he shouldn't like it but to be free? or to actually fall in love? The pact should be simple: her command, his power. But Lyra quickly learns the horrifying truth: the curse is not a disease, but a centuries-old Seal maintaining Kaelen's prison. By binding him, she hasn't created a cure; she's created the perfect key to his absolute freedom. Now, Lyra must survive the mounting danger-the zealous Coven Hunter pursuing them, the total collapse of her moral world, and the volatile, icy hunger that flares every time she is forced to draw on Kaelen's essence. Trapped in a lethal, intimate journey across the magical world, Lyra and Kaelen are enemies fused by necessity. Every shared breath is a violation, every touch is an electrical surge of power and resentment. But as the ancient Seal weakens, Lyra must make a choice: honor her ancestors' sacrifice and die, sending Kaelen back to the abyss... ...or choose survival, claim the god of chaos as her own, and become the supreme power the world should truly fear. The battle isn't for the world. It's for her soul the one she wants-and the Shadow she's sworn to control.

Now, bound to him by a soul-deep tether neither of them can break, Lyra is thrust into a war between Heaven and Hell she never asked to fight. Heaven sees her as a threat. Hell sees her as a prize. Both would destroy her to control the balance of power. But Lyra refuses to be a weapon for either side. Her only chance at survival lies in mastering the volatile magic she inherited from her mother... and in navigating the dangerous pull she feels toward Malphas, a man she should hate, yet can't bring herself to let go. As enemies close in, alliances blur, and ancient prophecies awaken, Lyra will have to choose: protect her heart and lose the war, or embrace her forbidden bond with Malphas and risk burning the world to save him. In a battle where love is both the greatest strength and the deadliest weakness... can she be the heir who unites fire and grace? * this story is still a work in progress. this is the roughest first draft, and chapters are subject to change until the story is officially finished. 🫶🏻
