☆ SLOW BURN • DARK ROMANCE ☆
〜
They burned her kingdom to ash. Now she sleeps beneath the roof of its conqueror.
Clarice, last princess of Sahradyn, was meant to die with her family. Instead, she was spared, dragged across enemy lines and locked in a tower by the man who shattered her world.
King Caelen of Velmoras is cold, calculating, and ruthless. He offers her only one choice: become his concubine, or rot in the tower. Yet even as Clarice plots her survival, something stirs between them. A pull. A thread.
The old texts call it the soul-thread: a bond said to bind enemies as often as lovers, rare and perilous, long dismissed as myth. But Clarice feels it now, in every glance, every silence, every clash of wills with the man she should hate above all others.
As war brews on the borders and kingdoms begin to fracture, Clarice must decide whether the thread binding her to Caelen is a curse to be severed, or a weapon powerful enough to change the fate of empires.

To Burn Beside You
They were never meant to fall in love. But duty has a way of binding hearts tighter than chains-and fire has a way of consuming everything in its path. When Princess Seraphina is bound by an arranged marriage to the kingdom's fiercest prince, Caelan, she expects a cold union of politics and survival. He is infuriatingly strong, arrogant, and unyielding. She is stubborn, sharp-tongued, and unwilling to bend. They say they hate each other. But the way he steps between her and every threat, tells a different story. As enemies close in and betrayal poisons the court, Seraphina and Caelan must stand together-or risk losing everything. What begins as duty ignites into something deeper, ... a love neither of them can deny. And when the flames rise, one truth becomes clear: he would burn the world to protect her- and she would burn beside him.Complete
Forbidden Union
Veloria is a realm divided into four elemental Kingdoms: Sea, Wind, Terra, and Ash. Ancient law forbids romantic relations between different Kingdoms, as any child born with more than one elemental power is seen as a threat to the delicate balance of power. This law, established centuries ago by the rulers of all four Kingdoms, is enforced with ruthless precision. Any child of mixed blood, along with the parents who bore them, is executed. But now, the King of Ash seeks to ignite the world in his fury. With his deadly and forbidden plan, he seeks to claim Veloria for his own, threatening to consume the traditions and freedom of the other elemental kingdoms. To stand against him, the kingdoms send their strongest-those born of perfect lineage, trained from birth to embody their element's purest form. Known as "purebloods", their mission is to stop the King of Ash before his flame consumes all. Yet lurking in the shadows is the King of Ash's most feared assassin, determined to ensure that no one stands in the way of his master's reign.Complete
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.
BOOK 1: Marked by Flame ( Currently Editing)
*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury.

Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince.

Demiurgic Requiem: Rise of the Veylmar Synod
Loneliness shatters. Isolation binds. Trauma transforms. In a world splintered by chaos and rotting from within, the broken are forged into weapons. The Veylmar Synod-an elite order of forgotten Conduits-stands between order and oblivion. They were created to fight the corruption that consumes the world. But the corruption lives inside them. Alaric Kazimir was born unwanted-a child of tragedy, cursed with a power he never asked for. Only his twin sister, Lilith cared for him. When rage and grief tore through him at ten years old, his power destroyed his tormentors, but destroyed the only one he loved. Instead of death or a lonely existence, he was offered a chance: to turn his pain into the strength necessary to prevent such tragedies. Years later, Alaric fights beside others whose gifts mirror their scars: -Kiara Hadeon, a girl whose flames consumed everything she loved. -Azrael Djall, a warrior who steals souls to silence his grief. -Sabrina Archeron, a haunted soul, lost to her waking nightmares. -Kaiser Amaran, a man cursed to bring ruin to those around him. Bound by trauma and burdened by power, they are the Multiverse's last defense-and its greatest threat. Each seeks redemption. Each hides a truth. And when a forbidden power resurfaces, the Synod will be forced to decide whether they are saviors... or executioners. Because some worlds aren't meant to be saved. They're meant to be rewritten. --------------- ⚠️ Content Advisory ⚠️ Psychological violence, emotional trauma, moral corruption, blood and gore, mental illness, complex relationships, and existential despair.
