When the son of a rival house returns, Serenya is torn between the kingdom she must protect and the forbidden bond she cannot forget.
As war brews on Caerthwyn's borders and serpents slither within her court, Serenya must decide:
Will she sacrifice her heart to keep her throne, or risk her crown for the one man who truly sees her?

Moonlight's Dagger
In the moonlit ballroom of a forgotten castle, Serenya first sees him-the Shadow Lord-watching her with eyes that belong to the night itself. Their fates entwine not in waking hours, but in dreams that grow deeper, darker, and more dangerous with each passing night. Drawn to the castle by whispers of forbidden knowledge, Serenya discovers the truth of the Moonlight's Dagger, a weapon hidden for centuries in its shadowed halls. Forged from silver light and ancient sorcery, it holds the power to break Kael's curse... but at an unthinkable cost. As the boundary between dream and reality unravels, the two are pulled into a labyrinth of haunting secrets, veiled masquerades, and a love that defies the very shape of humanity. To claim their freedom, they must surrender what they were and embrace what they will become-creatures no longer bound by mortal life, but forever touched by moonlight. In the end, the curse will lift, the castle's shadows will fall away, and Serenya and Kael will step into a new life in the village. Not as humans. But as something more.

Twin Flame
A mysterious woman enthralls Aemond and Daemon. In her, they each find what they are looking for. She takes each of them to the precipice of their ego through a journey of self-exploration and passion. --- This fan fiction depicts Daemon and Aemond in a big brother/younger brother dynamic. They engage in a mutual love triangle with an ethereal woman that offers them both affection, gratification, and counsel.
