Chains Made Of Silk (Completed)
Aurelia was once a nameless maid-obedient, quiet, invisible. But years of servitude taught her one truth: power doesn't belong to those who inherit it. It belongs to those willing to bleed for it. One night, she seized it. She slaughtered the royal family, took the crown, and made herself Queen. The only one she spared? Seraphina-the former princess, now a prisoner in her own palace. Once her mistress, now her captive. Once her dream, now her regret. But history between them runs deeper than anyone suspects. Before rebellion, before betrayal... there were glances. Secrets. Longing. And something dangerous neither of them dared name. Now, with Seraphina under house arrest and Aurelia sitting on a throne drenched in blood, their story begins again-not as ruler and servant, but as two monsters shaped by love, obsession, and the cost of freedom. Maybe she wanted the crown. Maybe she just wanted her. Maybe... she wanted both. ⚠️ Content Warning: dark romance, manipulation, obsession, murder, power imbalance, confinement > More of this chaos?

His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Complete
Book I: Starfall
When the heavens fracture, a mortal mapmaker and a fallen queen must redraw the stars-or watch the world collapse. Kael has spent his life charting the night sky, searching for patterns in the chaos left by the skyquake that killed his sister. He trusts only in ink, parchment, and the cold certainty of the stars. Until the night a blazing swan of light crashes into the mountains-and a woman steps from the wreckage claiming to be the Sky Queen. Aurelya was once sovereign of the Celestial Court, chosen by the Rhythm itself to keep the heavens in balance. Betrayed by her kin and bound by ancient chains, she has fallen to the mortal world with her power shattered and her name erased. To return, she must reclaim her lineage from a constellation long forgotten-and confront the gods who cast her down. Drawn together by grief and defiance, Kael and Aurelya uncover a truth the Court has hidden for centuries: the stars are not fixed, but can be rewritten. Each map Kael draws reshapes the heavens, weakening the constellations that betrayed her. But every stroke of ink carries a cost, and the gods will not surrender their dominion without war. As time unravels and the sky itself begins to fall, Kael and Aurelya must choose: restore the throne, save the mortal world, or attempt the impossible third path-remaking the Rhythm so that love and legacy can both endure. Epic, intimate, and myth-soaked, Starfall is the opening movement of a trilogy about grief, rebellion, and the power of rewriting fate.
