A Lost Princess. A Cursed Kingdom. A Destiny Written in the Stars.
Astra Celeste Starlace has always felt out of place in the quiet town of Windmere. Haunted by dreams of a kingdom beyond the stars and shadows that whisper her name, she's always known she was meant for something more. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, the truth shatters her reality-she is the long-lost heir to a magical realm torn apart by darkness.
Thrust into a world of forgotten magic, ancient prophecies, and celestial power, Astra must navigate court intrigue, monstrous creatures, and a growing connection to the mysterious and noble Edmund Alistair Hawthorne. But as secrets unravel and enemies rise, Astra must decide: will she reclaim her crown and fulfill her destiny-or will the stars fall forever?
Perfect for fans of fairy tales, slow-burn romance, and magic-laced adventures, Crown of Starlight is a spellbinding journey of self-discovery, love, and the power of light in the face of darkness.

Roots of Starlight
Raised among humans in a lantern lit village at the forests edge, Lirael has always felt the pull of the forest. Her ears are just a little too pointed, her eyes glimmer with a faint green light, and when the night wind whistles through the trees, she swears it calls her name. Found as a baby wrapped in gold cloth beneath an ancient oak, she has never known who she is, or where she truly belongs. When an old charm left from her infancy awakens with a pulse of starlit magic, Lirael sets out to uncover the lost realm of the forest elves, a people thought long vanished. Her path leads through quaint villages, enchanted glades, and moon drenched valleys, where cozy hearths and soft spoken wonders await. Along the way, she meets a wanderer whose quiet strength draws her heart as surely as the forest draws her spirit. As she journeys deeper into the heart of magic, Lirael must decide what "home" truly means; blood, roots, or the bonds we choose to grow. Roots of Starlight is a tender, romantic fantasy filled with forest light and belonging. A tale of gentle courage, ancient magic, and love that blooms like moonlit wildflowers.Complete
The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

I flickered my eyes as I could not see properly due to all the strain and stress. I could not make sense of the situation. I felt a sudden tug at my feet as I tried to pull them, realising that they were tied by the rope. My hands were free but there was a feeling of numbness in them. It was all so overwhleming and sudden for me that I felt like drowning in an ocean, where I did not want to be saved. The truth was in front of me and I didn't want to believe it. Sitting on the throne like chair in front of me was the person I trusted the most. My protector, my bodyguard, and now my captor. . . . I watched her opening her eyes slowly, trying to take in all the sitauation at once. My poor little doll, so fragile, so naive and innocent for this dark and dirty world, who has no idea that after years of being raised and treated like a fragile princess, she was now a part of this world, and I could not wait to break her. As her protector and her bodyguard, it would give me a sick pleasure in taking and ruining her. In His Shadows |18+| A Drak Romace Thriller
