He's the villain everyone fears. She's the one sin he can't let go.

In the shadows of Kalgrave City, stories are whispered of Kael Rulon-a brutal enforcer for an underground empire, wrapped in black ink and blood-soaked silence. He doesn't make mistakes. He doesn't get attached. Until her.

Haunted but defiant, Daella is trying to rebuild a life that never gave her a chance. She doesn't believe in monsters-until Kael shows her what darkness truly looks like... and what it feels like to be wanted by it.

What starts as a game of obsession becomes something neither can control. As Kael's enemies close in and Daella's past resurfaces, the lines between love and possession, protection and destruction, begin to blur.

Some men are made for redemption.
Kael Rulon was made for her.
And he'll burn the world down to prove it.All Rights Reserved

The Assassin's Bride by RavenHolt01

Gunfire thundered outside, bullets tearing chunks from the concrete wall shielding them. He cocked his gun, deep green eyes locking her. "Any man who touches you will wish all I did was kill him." She smiled and leaned over, whispering. "Then maybe you should stop touching me, Kael." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Blurb: Loving him is my greatest risk... and my only way out. I was sold like property and married to a cruel cartel boss who treats me as nothing but a pawn. The night I tried to escape, I ran straight into Kael Veyron, a ruthless assassin who was hired to wipe out my entire family. And then me. But instead, he claimed me as his own. Kael is lethal, obsessed, and dangerous to love... but with him, I see a chance at freedom. Together, we're not just running. We're plotting to bring my husband's empire to its knees- and build one of our own in its place. But love with a man like Kael is as deadly as any bullet. And in this game of power, passion, and blood, the line between survival and destruction grows thinner every day.

Reborn as the Untalented Villain?? by aero_miss

Lunel was a once-in-a-lifetime genius - the kind who made entire fields question their existence. By five, he could master anything he touched. By fourteen, he was a university graduate. By his twenties, he was the pillar of science the government guarded like a national treasure. He was brilliant, yes. Motivated? ...almost never. He worked only when he felt like it, then promptly slept for three days. At thirty, betrayed by the person he trusted most, Lunel died. When he opened his eyes again, he thought he knew exactly what had happened: He had transmigrated into Dilectus Terrae, the fantasy novel he had once read. And not as the heroine adored by the world, but as the useless villain doomed to be crushed. Annoying. But manageable. At first, he had nothing to do, nothing to care about - and then he met the novel's main villains. And for the first time in forever, Lunel felt... intrigued. Sharp, clever, unpredictable - someone who made his brain spark with interest. He didn't just admire them. He liked them. Maybe even a little too much. Suddenly, being the villain wasn't so bad. ( art not mine)

The Ink Knows Her Name by authorrrrdipppp

He appeared when she needed him most-dark, scarred, and far too real. Mira has always lived inside her books. Especially his book. The one with the tortured antihero she can't let go of. The one she's read so many times, the pages feel like skin. Then one night, he's there. Flesh and blood. Standing in her world. Kael doesn't remember how he got here-or why this girl knows everything about him. All he knows is that something is wrong. The shadows still cling to him. The nightmares haven't left. And her obsession? It's deeper than devotion. It's dangerous. But the more he tries to escape her, the more reality begins to fracture. And Kael starts to wonder if he's protecting her... or himself. A slow-burn , dark romance where obsession blurs the line between fantasy and fate.

Two Scenes & A Lifetime Contract by snowwhitenotmytype

So transmigration into a novel is real. Fantastic. But instead of waking up as the dazzling heroine or the cunning villainess... I got stuck as the cannon fodder side character. The one who showed up twice and died in a single sentence. Two scenes. One line of death. That's my entire legacy. Even the villainess gets more respect than me. Well, not this time. I refused to play. I got a second chance, and I'm taking it all- the story, the characters, and the author can choke on their own plot. _

Love may bloom-or burn. And the world will finally learn what happens when their brightest hero becomes their most terrifying villain. After all... they should've let her die.

Shadow Archive by ReezWriter

When the world collapsed, it wasn't war, famine, or plague that brought it down. It was words. Sentient grimoires devoured cities. Living paragraphs swallowed memories. And language itself fractured reality. Kael Orven, once a brilliant young Librarian, now roams the ruins with no past beyond the glyphs carved into his arm-glyphs that burn every time he faces a corrupted text. When he witnesses a book eat a man's face, Kael realizes something terrifying: The words remember him. And they want him back. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Lira Vein, a blind exorcist who "hears corruption," Kael enters the war between Archivists, cults, and Monarch-class Grimoires capable of rewriting the world. But every answer he finds only leads to one terrifying truth: Kael once opened the Shadow Archive... and he is the reason the world collapsed. Now the grimoires are whispering again. The Monarch is returning. And the last line of the world is already being written. To save the future, Kael must walk back into the catastrophe he created- and rewrite the story that erased him. If it doesn't erase him again first. 🔥 Perfect for fans of: dark fantasy, cosmic horror, grim magic systems, emotional duos, tragic pasts, and post-apocalyptic mystery.
