I never finished the book.
Just enough to know the villainess dies.
Just enough to know I am her now.
Thrown into a world of swords, kings, and curses, I wake up in the body of Lady Virelle De Mare - the cruel noble fiancée destined to die by the Crown Prince's sword on their wedding night.
But I'm not her.
I don't want the throne. I don't want the prince.
I just want to live.
Every page I turn is a step closer to my own execution.
Unless I rewrite the ending.... before the story kills me.

A Kiss Before Dusk [BOOK 1]
In a kingdom where sunlight ruled and secrets festered beneath silk and stone, a princess lived behind walls built to protect her from the world-and from herself. Her days were scripted, her smiles practiced, her future sealed in ink and royal blood. But beyond the garden wall, past curfews and caution, something ancient stirred. A presence forgotten by time but remembered by shadows. He was a creature of night-cursed, hunted, and hollowed by centuries of silence. A vampire whose name was feared in legend and buried by decree. When their paths crossed beneath a blood-moon sky, fate did not ask permission. It only demanded a price. This is the story of Seraphina, the girl born to wear a crown, and Lucien, the monster taught to hate it. And how love, when truly forbidden, becomes the most dangerous kind of magic.Complete
THE BROKEN CROWN
The night the kingdom of Elaria burned, the stars hid behind smoke and sorrow. Princess Isabella watched flames devour the world she had always known-her home, her people, her family. The roar of battle drowned the lullabies of her childhood, and the clash of steel stole away the innocence she had once carried like a fragile crown. And at the heart of the chaos stood Adrian. Not the mysterious stranger who had once stolen her heart in the town streets, but the ruthless general of Draven, leading the assault with unyielding fire in his eyes. His sword cut down her guards, his orders shattered her gates, and his betrayal pierced her heart deeper than any blade. That night, Isabella's world ended. Her parents fell before her eyes. Her kingdom was lost. Her heart, once soft and unguarded, was broken beyond repair. But she survived. From the ashes of grief, she made a different kind of vow: never again would she be trapped in a life she could not control. She would flee, escaping the ruins of her past to find safety and a chance to live. Not as a warrior seeking vengeance, but as a soul seeking survival, a life reclaimed from the shadows of loss. And though she did not know it then, destiny would one day bring her face to face with the man who had destroyed her life. The man who would become both her greatest enemy... and the one love she could never escape.Complete

Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete
The sea god's maiden
She was born beneath a cursed prophecy-raised not for herself, but as a sacrifice promised to the gods. The Maiden of Tides, they called her, a weapon wrapped in white silk, destined to end the reign of the Sea God. He is no merciful deity. The ocean bends to his will, storms are his rage, and mortals are nothing but fleeting sparks against his eternity. Yet when prophecy delivers the Maiden to his shore, he does not see his end. He sees his beginning. Bound by fate, divided by blood and curses, their story was never meant to be love-it was ruin, desire, and destruction written in the stars. But the Sea God whispers a truth no prophecy foresaw: "Every kingdom, every soul, every star-I would burn them all just to keep you." And when the final tide rises, his last words will not be vows, but truth: "I was yours from the beginning... and I'll be yours until the end." A dark romance of sacrifice, prophecy, and forbidden desire-where love may save the world... or drown it.Complete
