In a kingdom where secrets bloom like blood-stained roses, Roselynd Montclair was never meant to survive.
Promised to a monster and shackled by duty, she's been taught to play the role of obedient daughter and perfect bride. But when her carefully controlled world begins to crack, it's not a prince who steps from the shadows-it's a king cloaked in darkness, with eyes that see too much and hands that promise both ruin and salvation.
Thrown into a web of political intrigue, forbidden power, and slow-burning temptation, Roselynd must decide what she's willing to sacrifice...
Her heart?
Her freedom?
Or the mask she's worn her entire life?
One wrong move could cost her everything.
One dangerous man might give her the world.
Power always has a price.
Love might just cost her soul.

Darkness in the White Light
The kingdom is bleeding, and war is no longer coming - it's here. Rogues rise under one banner. Her father's. Villages burn, packs fall, and the Lycan King is out for blood. Then she appears - shackled, silent, defiant. A rogue. A prisoner. A mystery. Kalowna Vaekhar doesn't tolerate weakness. He conquers it. But something about her makes his instincts snarl and his wolf still. She's too composed for someone broken. Too dangerous for someone without a wolf. Too tempting for a king who swore to never lose control again. He should execute her. Instead, he locks her behind gold and steel and watches the storm gather in her eyes. Something ancient stirs in her bones. Something forbidden. And the more she awakens, the more his empire begins to crack. She's not just part of the war. She's the key to ending it. Or destroying everything he was born to protect. "You're a rogue," he says, voice low and filled with contempt. "And I despise everything that makes you one." She lowers her gaze, voice barely a whisper: "I am what they made me... broken and lost."

The fourteenth shift
Every year on February 8th, every fourteen-year-old is taken. No one knows where they go until it's their time. The place is hidden, the training brutal, the purpose clear: prepare them for the wars of a world kept in shadow. It's not punishment. It's not exactly a rescue either. It's something in between - a shift from innocence into something far more dangerous. When Jaquetta Virellith is taken, she stands out from the start. With violet hair and powers born from nightmare, she sees things no one else can - visions of death, destruction, and suffering that leave her body frozen and her soul shaken. Her fears are as unique and frightening as her gift: a terror of losing control, of tight spaces, of food, of sickness. She keeps them hidden behind a stillness that unsettles even the instructors. By her side is Liri Thalen, fierce, funny, and full of fire, whose bright pink braids and rapid-flash movement power make her impossible to miss - or ignore. But even Liri has fears she won't admit aloud: the dark, being left behind, and not being enough when it matters. Kael Drennor, with dusk-blue hair and shields made of light, is built to protect - and yet he's crumbling inside. Haunted by a fear of deep water and the secrets he keeps buried, he doesn't expect to feel drawn to Jaquetta. But something in her silence echoes his own. And Rowen Stride, silver-haired and sharp-tongued, has powers rooted in sound and humor hiding something quieter - a fear of failure, of being forgotten, of being truly known. Liri gets under his skin in ways no one else can. Together, they will be tested. Their fears will be used against them. And some of them won't come out the same. But for him... he couldn't resist her beautiful sapphire blue eyes.Complete

Esmée
"I was always there, but never seen. Until the night the moon decided otherwise." Esmée Valroy has always lived behind glass, invisible, quiet, forgotten. No friends. No place. No real life.

A wolf that shouldn't exist. When Esmée wakes up naked and terrified beside her dead dog, she's captured by strange men, soldiers of the Silverclaw Pack, the most powerful and feared pack on earth. Accused of being a rogue, locked in a cell, and surrounded by monsters she didn't even know were real, Esmée learns a dark truth: She's not human. She never was. And the Alpha, a full-blooded Lycan, brutal and merciless, wants to know exactly what she is. Caught between power, secrets, and the pull of something ancient inside her, Esmée must survive a world where wolves bow, Lycans rule, and the moon never shows mercy.
