In a kingdom where magic is bled from bones and secrets are carved into skin, seventeen-year-old Auren hides a tattoo that pulses with forbidden power. Branded since birth by a symbol no one dares speak of, she lives as a servant in the House of Iron, quietly watching nobles drink magic like wine. When a strange boy with silver eyes arrives from beyond the mountains - claiming to know what she is - everything unravels.
Because Auren isn't just marked.
She's the last piece of a war they thought was over.
And they will kill to bury the truth she carries beneath her skin.

Muse [h.s.]
Golden Book Two Golden. My favorite song written off the album - the first song I wrote about her - Aurelia Moon. My golden girl. She's had me wrapped around my finger since the night we met. Our memories run on repeat in my mind everyday since I last saw her. She's the light of my life, my sun and moon. Only now, her gaze is not filled with light; her eyes are hard and glaring, and I'm at fault. My heart plummets and sinks in my chest but I force a smile on the outside. "Aurelia..." I say with a forced smirk. I love saying her name and I know she always loved hearing it. "Still my muse, even now." My heart quickens with hope when I see the goosebumps rise on her soft skin. Even after all this time. *mature and explicit content*Complete
Till Death Do Us Part
In the dark heart of wizarding aristocracy, love is the cruelest curse of all. Aurelia Black was once the shame of her bloodline-a supposed Squib destined to fade into obscurity. Now, she's the prodigy who saved Hogwarts, cloak in power, poise, and poisonous expectations. Her reward? A betrothal to her former friend turned bitter rival: Ominis Gaunt. Cold, cutting, and hellbent on escaping his family's legacy, Ominis has vowed to disappear after graduation. But when Aurelia discovers his plan, she proposed a dangerous compromise: she'll help him fake his death and disappear from his family for good-if he plays the devoted diance long enough to protect her reputation. What follows is a venom-laced charade of stolen glances and seething hatred, set against a background of opulent galas, glittering lies, and the weight of expectations. Fated to be enemies. Forced to be partners out of necessity. This is not a love story. (Slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, angst, dark wizarding elite, arranged marriage) Told from Aurelia Black's POVComplete
When The Seal Broke
The world forgot what it sealed away. Elliot Vael didn't ask to see monsters. He didn't ask to fight them. He only wanted to protect his sister and survive the silence left behind by their missing parents. But when a creature breaches their protective ward, Elliot's life fractures-and the truth begins to bleed through the cracks. Taken in by a powerful sorcerer with eyes like lightning and secrets of his own, Elliot is thrust into a hidden world of Divine Energy, cursed techniques, and ancient forces long buried by time. At Sanctum Ordo, a school that trains the unseen defenders of humanity, Elliot must navigate strange students, forbidden power, and the shadow of a war no one believes is coming. But when an ancient seal is broken beneath the campus, releasing something that should have never stirred again, Elliot's power is no longer just a danger-it's a signal. A signal to voidlings. To the Crimson Cross. And to the echo of something far older than gods. In a world where knowledge is forbidden and truth is dangerous, some powers were never meant to return.Complete

My Fucked Up Fairytale

Golden [h.s.]
It's been a while since I've last seen him, and just the mere mention of this man's presence makes the blood in my veins sing. I can almost hear his voice calling my name. "Aurelia...." he'd slowly drag, his tongue licking his lips each time before pulling into a sinful smirk. "My muse...you have complete control of me, you know that, don't you?" I shudder at the memory, recalling the intensity of his green gaze. He'd always call me his muse, his inspiration. His golden girl. My mouth runs dry. I want nothing to do with this man; so why is it that my body disobeys me? Why is it that goosebumps rise on my skin at the thought of seeing him again? *mature and explicit content*Complete

Curse of the Astralis
On a cold winter night, beneath a sky heavy with swirling snowflakes, I arrived at the gates of my new school-an ancient fortress of stone and magic. The torches lining the grand staircase flickered in the wind, casting eerie shadows along the castle walls. This was no ordinary academy; it was a place where the most gifted wielders of magic trained, a school of legacy and power. As I stepped inside, the air buzzed with enchantment, the echoes of centuries past whispering through the halls. Here, knowledge was a weapon, secrets were currency, and danger lurked beneath the surface. I had come to make my mark, to claim my place in a world where my family's name carried both prestige and expectation. But I was not alone in my arrival-some had been waiting for me. Some welcomed me, others watched from the shadows. This was the beginning of something far greater than I could have imagined. Malia IronHeartComplete
