- Lanterns at Dusk -

{Unedited}

When Lady Aracelli Danger is pressed into an engagement with the enigmatic Caius Draemont, she steps into a world of wealth shadowed by whispers. Draemont Manor, standing dark against the northern sky, is a place of secrets. It's walls heavy with memory, its master colder still.

Caius is handsome, commanding, and distant, a man both alluring and unsettling. Society murmurs of his tragedy, of the fire that claimed his family, but in his silence lies a deeper mystery-one that unsettles Aracelli even as it draws her closer

But the manor itself seems alive with watchful shadows, and Aracelli soon finds her nights plagued by visions that feel more real than dreams. The line between devotion and danger blurs, and every step she takes deeper into Draemont's halls binds her to a fate she cannot yet see.

Torn between duty and dread, Aracelli must decide if her heart is leading her into love or into ruin.

{Featured Story!} #1 in Supernatural #48 in Romance #5 in Historical Fiction "They say at night, the howls of wolves echo across the land, and in the morning farmers find their animals missing or slaughtered. Keep your wits about you, my dearest friend. Beware of the wolves." 1561 Alba - Scotland Màili is the only child of Catholic Lord, Seumas MacDhòmhnaill, and his wife Màiri. Most of her life has been spent hidden away in the Scottish countryside to keep her away from the rumours rife at court since her Mother's death. Màili knows one wrong move could bring those rumours at her feet too. Cries of witchcraft and gossip about her father's dwindling funds, means Màili's future remains uncertain. Close to destitute, her dowry gone, her only chance - in the eyes of her father at least - comes in the form of an unexpected marriage match from a family willing to pay handsomely for Màili's hand. It's an offer her father dare not refuse. Quickly married to a man she doesn't know, Torian Lyall flouts Màili's every belief in what is expected from her as a wife. Nor do he or his family seem overly interested in following Catholic tradition. Trapped amongst people so different from her, speaking a language she barely remembers from childhood, she's whisked away to her new home farther North than she's travelled before. The wild and mountain filled Highlands are a beautiful place; where purple heather and thick forests covers the land, and mighty sea winds batter the waves against ancient rock. Myth and mystery swirl as thick as the grey mists in the glens, where creatures from old stories are said still to roam. And the Lyall family have secrets of their own. Secrets that might involve her in some way. Secrets that make Màili hold her friend's advice closer than she thought she'd need to... Beware of the wolves. . .

Hi, I'm Jas ✨ I'm a writer who loves mystery, romance, and a touch of the supernatural. When I'm not writing, you'll probably find me sipping lavender tea, admiring spooky artwork, or walking in the park dreaming up my next story. 🌧️ Want to listen instead of read? I narrate my stories in a cozy audiobook style with rain sounds on my YouTube channel: 👉 Whispers by Jas - https://www.youtube.com/@WhispersbyJas 📖 New chapters of The Last Letter post every Tuesday & Thursday here on Wattpad (and on YouTube). Thank you for supporting my stories - it means the world! 💕 In the fog-soaked town of Ravenmoor, secrets linger longer than the mist. When seventeen-year-old Selene Carter stumbles across a stash of old letters hidden inside Blackwood Manor, she laughs off the warnings scribbled in faded ink. "Whoever reads this will fall in love... and die in thirty days." But when her classmate Adrian Vega accidentally opens one, he falls for Selene overnight-and his days are suddenly numbered. As the curse spreads and Ravenmoor's tragic history resurfaces, Selene and her best friend Naomi race to uncover the truth behind the letters' original writer: Evelyn Blackwood, a ghost who has been waiting a century for her revenge. With Adrian's life ticking away like ink bleeding across a page, Selene must decide how far she's willing to go for love-and whether breaking the curse will cost her everything. ✉️ Would you die for love... or die because of it?

Wishing for Wings

20 parts Ongoing

The island of Caelith was once a place of light. Now, it drowns in rain and memory. Calystra has spent her life dreaming of the horizon-of a world beyond the gray streets and the ghosts of wars long lost. But when the royal heirs descend upon her broken city, her quiet yearning pulls her into a web of fate far older and far more dangerous than she could ever imagine. There is something inside her-something bright, untamed, and impossible. And there is him: Lucarvyn, a prince forged by duty and shadow, whose gaze feels like both promise and warning. As kingdoms stir and ancient powers awaken, Calystra will have to choose between the life she's always known and the truth that calls to her heart. Because some wishes are not whispered to the stars. Some are written in wings. Feedback in encouraged! I hope you enjoy meeting the characters and learning them like I enjoy writing them!
