In a realm divided by sky and forest, an unlikely love is born between Selene, a radiant swan princess of the Silver Waters, and Kael, a fierce panther prince of the Nightshade Wilds. Bound by prophecy and torn by duty, their romance ignites in secret under moonlit skies-where every heartbeat defies ancient laws.

But fate is never kind to creatures born of light and shadow.

As war brews between their kingdoms and betrayal slithers through the reeds, Selene and Kael find themselves trapped in a web of magic, vengeance, and secrets centuries old. With the stars themselves conspiring against them and a throne built on sacrifice, they must fight not only for their love, but for the very soul of the realm.

When a child is born from ruin-a being of feathers and fangs, starlight and sorrow-the world must reckon with what is left behind when love is torn apart.

Vampire Queen of the Apocalypse by FLYSPREE

In a world ruled by darkness, her light will burn eternal. Sealed in a crystal coffin at the peak of the Great Vampire War, Selene Castielle was known as the weakest vampire of her time-unable to drink blood, frail at night, and an embarrassment to her noble lineage. Born once every decade, a female vampire was considered sacred... yet Selene was treated like a fragile glass doll. But Selene harbored a secret even she didn't understand: her powers didn't come from blood-they came from the sun. A thousand years later, the earth is broken. Civilization has fallen to the zombie plague, a cursed virus that wiped out most of humanity. When an earthquake cracks her mountain tomb, Selene awakens to a dying world-and a destiny she never expected. Now, under the blazing light of the sun, she is no longer the weakest. She is a beacon of power, feared by the undead, worshipped by survivors, and haunted by her past. But the apocalypse hides more than monsters. Connor, a stoic human warrior who leads a resistance group, bears an eerie resemblance to Selene's long-lost vampire fiancé. As Selene uncovers ancient secrets, forbidden experiments, and the truth behind the zombie curse, she must face the terrifying origin of her own bloodline. A once-broken vampire queen will rise.  The undead will kneel-or burn.

Under the Same Sky by r0manticreader

In the bustling city of Vayloria, a young hero named Kael stood atop a high-rise, gazing out over the twinkling lights. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, but one name echoed louder than the rest: Selene. Years ago, in a quieter time, Kael and Selene were inseparable. They grew up together, two adventurous souls always seeking the next thrill. From exploring the enchanted forests on the outskirts of Vayloria to uncovering hidden secrets within the city, their bond was forged in the fires of countless adventures. Kael was the embodiment of hope and bravery. With his brown hair and determined brown eyes, he became the symbol of justice for Vayloria. His innate ability to manipulate light made him a formidable force against the shadows that threatened their city. Selene, on the other hand, was the strategic mind behind their escapades. Her intelligence was matched only by her fierce loyalty to Kael. Her blonde hair and piercing blue eyes gave her an air of innocence, masking her cunning nature. Her affinity for shadows complemented Kael's light, making them a perfect team. However, as they grew older, a shadow crept into their lives. Selene began to change, becoming more distant and secretive. Kael tried to reach out, but the more he tried, the further she seemed to slip away. One fateful day, Kael discovered the truth: Selene had allied herself with the darker forces in Vayloria. She had taken on the mantle of "Nightshade," using her powers for her own gain and leaving a trail of chaos in her wake. From that moment, Kael vowed to stop her, no matter the cost. He couldn't let her destroy the city they had sworn to protect. And so, the former best friends became bitter enemies, their battles shaking the very foundations of Vayloria.
