Her mother was once the king's desire, but passion soon turned to cruelty. Branded with false accusations, tortured, and beheaded, she left behind a daughter shrouded in disgrace. From the shadows of betrayal, that daughter rose-marked by whispers, tempered by pain, and bound by a silent vow.
In a court where loyalty shifts like sand and daggers gleam in the dark, she faced trials that would have broken the weak. But vengeance gave her fire, and destiny gave her strength. Every step forward was a battle, every ally a risk, every secret a weapon.
From ashes and sorrow, she forged her own path to power. She would not be forgotten as the daughter of a fallen woman. She would be remembered as the Great Queen of England.

The Divine Devil
Every crown is a curse, and every heir is a sacrifice, When peace lies in bloody nights what will happen when the her ice cold heart melts in this warm embrace? She was not the woman she appeared to be. Behind those sharp eyes and cold composure was a soul shattered by betrayal and heartbreak. Once, she had known laughter, softness, and trust-but those days were long buried beneath layers of pain and rage. The scars of her past had carved away the girl she used to be, leaving behind a woman with a heart frozen in ice. Trust was a luxury she could no longer afford, and love? Love had become a cruel illusion she no longer believed in. All that remained was a single, burning desire-revenge. It was her fuel, her purpose, and the reason she rose each day with fire in her veins and steel in her gaze. She had become a devil in the eyes of many, but they didn't know the story behind the flames. And then, he came. A man unlike any she had ever known-warm where she was cold, gentle where she was fierce. He saw the thorns and bled willingly just to hold the rose. He didn't flinch at her anger or retreat from her silence. Instead, he embraced her darkness like it was a part of him. To him, she wasn't broken-she was beautiful in ways the world failed to understand. He loved her not despite her demons, but because of them. For the first time in years, she felt the warmth of something unfamiliar-hope. He would give up everything for her: his name, his pride, even his morals. Not because he was weak, but because his love for her was that strong. He didn't want to fix her-he only wanted to hold her, to show her that she didn't have to fight alone.
My dearest Aurelia
They called you a witch. They made you disappear. But your story didn't vanish with the smoke. I never knew you. And yet, I carry your name on my tongue like a secret I was never meant to speak. The lies they told still echo in our forest, in the halls of the castle, in the eyes of those who fear the truth. But I will find it. Piece by piece. Even if it means losing myself along the way. Because if the world dared to silence you, then it's my voice they'll hear next.

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.Completa
Crown of Greed and Power
["You look like hell," she stated at last. Azlan scoffed, "Likewise." She continued to study him through suspicious eyes and he couldn't help but wonder what she looked like beneath all the dried blood. He could tell she was unique though, definitely intriguing. ### "You think you know everything?" She turned to him in challenge, but Azlan only stared the female down, unbothered. "You don't know anything." "Don't I? It doesn't take a person with eyes to recognize all that built up anger and pain sizzling inside you." "Stay the fuck out of my business."] While grieving the loss of her boyfriend, huntress Nera Atherton made it to her mission to kill every beast she can hunt down to avenge her love. Two years pass when she crosses paths with a mysterious and arrogant man, Azlan, who claims to be searching for his sister's killer.

The Moon's Blood, the Forest's Curse
In a land where the forest whispers with ancient power, the Viravyn, a once-immortal race bound by the magic of their gemstone eyes, were the protectors of the earth and its secrets. Each gem carried the strength of nature itself-wisdom, time, strength, and fate. But when the Kingdom of England, driven by greed, attacked their peaceful homeland, the Viravyn's fate was sealed in blood. A promise made after the first battle kept them safe for a time-but the heart of man, consumed by avarice, would not be denied. The king, hungry for their power, broke his vow, launching a merciless attack on the Viravyn as they slept. Only one survived the massacre: Araneth, a mother from the Thalwyn Clan, who fled with her unborn child. In hiding within a small village near London, Araneth concealed the truth of her people, her eyes hidden from the world. She raised her daughter, Neravyn Solalith, teaching her how to survive in a world that would never accept them, even as the scars of their lost heritage festered within her. But when the soldiers return, hunting the last of the Viravyn, Araneth's final sacrifice ignites the spark of vengeance in her daughter's heart. Now, Neravyn must journey into the heart of the forest that once belonged to her people. The curse of her bloodline will lead her toward the truth of her mother's sacrifice, the truth of the gems that bind her fate, and the truth of a revenge that will burn the world to its core. The forest waits, the moon watches, and the blood of the Viravyn calls.
Siena (Forestfolk, Book 1)
Siena can heal wounds with a touch of her hands. A captive since birth, she is used as a tool of war by a Plainsmen tribe. A chance escape into the forest proves successful... and deadly. Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die. The choice seems obvious to Siena, but living with the repercussions of that choice is another matter altogether. A journey of self-discovery, a bit of adventure, and a splash of romance. On the Wattys 2017 Shortlist!Completa

When it does, he is no longer himself, and the aftermath leaves him drowning in guilt. Despite his growing love for Vella, he knows he cannot keep the darkness at bay forever. When his control finally shatters, tragedy follows. Faced with losing Vella forever, Silvyn turns to the only power capable of undoing what he has done, at a price that severs their love completely.
