His blood bears the mark of a prophecy.
His soul dares to defy it.

Zayden was never meant to live a quiet life. Raised as a prince under the banner of Sylvren, he grew up far from the shadow of the tyrant who doomed their kingdom. But fate doesn't forget its debts-and destiny doesn't wait for permission.

When ancient sins resurface and the seal of the old prophecy begins to crack, Zayden finds himself hunted by those who fear what he might become... and haunted by what he already is. Whispers call him the heir to ruin. The descendant destined to kill the man who cursed them all.

But Zayden doesn't want a throne.
He doesn't want power.
He only wants the truth-and the freedom to choose his own path.

Yet in a world where blood speaks louder than will, and prophecy drowns out choice, the greatest rebellion may be the one that dares to resist what's written in the stars.



Hey everyone!

Welcome to my second book in the Cursed series -
Cursed to Follow 💜

This is a standalone story, so there's no need to read the first book to enjoy this one.
This time, we dive into the world of Zayden, the male lead, whose life is tangled in prophecy, power, and the fight to break free from it all.

If you love fantasy, emotionally complex characters, a touch of humor, and a story that mixes destiny and rebellion, this book might just be for you.

Thank you for being here - I hope Zayden's journey stays with you long after the final chapter.

"You're in my territory now, princess, and you'll abide by my rules. Is that clear?" he whispered in my ear as he backed me against the wall, his hand slithering around my waist and pulling me closer to him. __________ Leading the largest, most feared werewolf pack in America wasn't easy. As the Alpha, Haden Pierce carried the strength of his pack on his shoulders since his father was attacked by rogues. At the age of 17, he was forced to build bonds, strengthen relationships, and create a pack aura that no one would dare challenge. He led by fear, but he also led by loyalty and a determination to protect his family at all costs. After the years passed, he had given up on finding his mate and planned out his future so his pack would remain strong from the rogues that threatened to bring them down. His hatred of rogues and what they stood for ran deep. That was until Zara Ferrari, his mate, crossed his lands. The very thing he despised - a rogue - was now his mate. And as much as he tried to fight, as much as he tried to resist, the fire between them was undeniable. Would he give in or will they both get burned? __________ IGNITE is a slow-burn but you'll enjoy passionate mates, possessive exes, reunited families, unexpected betrayals and so much more!

Thread of Shadow, Sin & Flame (MM fantasy romance) by rlbrowne
10 parts Ongoing Mature
When the three Kingdoms hold a meeting with the courts in their Regions, claiming a prophecy was delivered to each, whispers start to stir. Wrathborn bloodlines? Coming to the Realm? A war brewing? In a Realm where Sulken - creatures who feed on souls, and are both elemental and eternal - rule, and are shaped by the Gods to punish and preserve, begin to shift, things start going wrong. Prophecies speak of this and that. Wars and ruins. Conflicts and hidden bloodlines. Creatures of death, and destruction that even the dark can't escape. Now the Allseers - keepers of the Gods' oldest truths - have named a threat. The wrathborn bloodlines stir with power none are prepared for. Ayren, a Sulken with a divine power, is on the run with his family and another. Another prophecy shows, and he's sent to the Dark Court for protection. Then he meets Draxien, the war-born Leader bound to shadows... and to Ayren in ways neither understands. Their bond is unnatural. Undeniable. And it may be the key to unraveling the truth from the prophecy. Because across the fractured Courts, a war brews not only for this Realm... but for the next if they're not careful. Not all written is truth. --- Some bloodlines were cursed. Others were erased. And some were made to burn the world down.

It's a symbol of power, of destiny, and of death - a mark that hasn't been seen in centuries. A curse that if found by anyone would end with her death.

❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists. I feel like there is no such thing as pain and I feel light as if I can float off the Earth. Fine as hell white boy with a pro-black activist fall for each other. Cherise Miss Activist doesn't want to date Zaire the fine as hell white boy not for his race but for his secrets. What if he had a past he didn't tell you about and the only way you found out is because the past came to kill you? And I'm not talking werewolves and vampires. Cherise would only wish for problems for they would be so simple compared to hers and Zaire's. If any woman found out Zaire's secrets they'd take off running to the nearest police station or they end up in a body bag in the end. Depends....which will come first?

❝Thaddeus Wraith had successfully destroyed the fortress within my head and scrambled my senses. Which was strange. How had I gone from fearing somebody, maybe even loathing them. To wanting to feel him against me, the heat that radiated off his body--for his lips to move against mine. I craved the chaos that we had together, and by gods did it intoxicate me to know that I had him. 𝒜𝓁𝓁 𝑜𝒻 𝒽𝒾𝓂. Every damaged, broken piece, every intrusive thought that came into his mind when those green eyes bore into mine. I had it all. ❞ ━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━ Orion Vale was meant to drown when a storm took him at sea--but instead, a siren's magic spared his life. Pulled aboard Captain Wraith's ship, Orion soon feels an unexpected connection to the ocean...and to the mysterious force that saved him. As strange powers begin to awaken, he's caught between his shifting feelings towards the captain and this cryptic prophecy tied to his "curse." Lines begin to blur, and hate may turn into love. Torn between the captain's relentless hunt for sirens and his destiny, Orion must navigate a dangerous path where every choice could lead to betrayal or salvation.

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld.

BOOK 2 OF THE MARKED DUOLOGY She opened the gate. He plans to crown himself through it. Marked by the Goddess of Blood, Syerin Cayde thought unlocking the ancient gate would set the world free. Instead, it tore the fabric between realms, unleashing shadows, stirring gods-and waking Varethin. Once ruler of Tenebris, Varethin is no Origin Lord. He's a false god with a stolen throne, and now, he wants more: to shatter the divine order and replace it with one of his own. To do it, he needs Syerin's mark. Her blood. Her death. But Syerin is no longer just the key. She's becoming something else entirely. To stop him, she must reunite the broken gods, close the gate she tore open, and confront the power rising inside her. But when the only person who truly understands her darkness-Riven Knox, marked by the God of Death-comes back into her life, the lines between love and destruction begin to blur. The gods are watching. Varethin is rising. And this time, divinity may not survive her.
