In a kingdom of honor and blood, King Alaric ruled with unmatched strength - until betrayal shattered his reign. In the dead of night, his own sister opened the gates to King Dagwan, a ruthless enemy who chained Alaric, butchered his sons, and defiled his queen before burning the kingdom to ash.
From the ruins, the old wizard Malrik uncovered a final secret: the queen carried an unborn child. In desperation, he turned to forbidden black magic. What emerged was no ordinary heir - but Algod, a child forged in blood and shadow, touched by demons, and destined to shake the world.
As kingdoms rise and fall, legends whisper of Algod's fate - savior, destroyer, or something far darker.

THE UNSTABLE PACT
A Cursed Witch. A Captive God. An Irrevocable Bond. For years, Lyra Blackwood has been slowly dying, tainted by the ancestral Ash Curse-a slow, miserable rot that has claimed her entire lineage. Desperate for a cure, she attempts the forbidden: a volatile ritual to harness a captured entity of pure power. Instead of a cure, she finds Kaelen, the devastatingly beautiful Lord of Shadow, and accidentally binds him to her very soul. - he shouldn't like it but to be free? or to actually fall in love? The pact should be simple: her command, his power. But Lyra quickly learns the horrifying truth: the curse is not a disease, but a centuries-old Seal maintaining Kaelen's prison. By binding him, she hasn't created a cure; she's created the perfect key to his absolute freedom. Now, Lyra must survive the mounting danger-the zealous Coven Hunter pursuing them, the total collapse of her moral world, and the volatile, icy hunger that flares every time she is forced to draw on Kaelen's essence. Trapped in a lethal, intimate journey across the magical world, Lyra and Kaelen are enemies fused by necessity. Every shared breath is a violation, every touch is an electrical surge of power and resentment. But as the ancient Seal weakens, Lyra must make a choice: honor her ancestors' sacrifice and die, sending Kaelen back to the abyss... ...or choose survival, claim the god of chaos as her own, and become the supreme power the world should truly fear. The battle isn't for the world. It's for her soul the one she wants-and the Shadow she's sworn to control.
Veritas
Book 1 of 2 Aislinn Jones has had a unique problem for as long as she can remember: her dreams. They are vivid and haunting, and plague her whenever she tries to rest.

It wasn't until her thirteenth birthday that one of her nightmares truly became a reality for her. After losing her home and her parents, she finds salvation in the gentle-hearted she-wolf named Rei, who adopts her and raises her alongside her son Ryan. Unfortunately, her nightmares don't end there. On her sixteenth birthday, when she expects to meet her other half-her wolf, she is horrified when her shift doesn't take place. Determined to find answers, the small family decide to make their way to the Royal Pack to investigate. King Darius was raised with the constant reminder that his mate would be his doom. It was because of this that the unmated King issued a Royal Decree banning unmated women from entering the Royal Pack. Faced with this, the trio must find another way in to get their answers. Through their scheming to enter the Royal Pack, they unwittingly begin untangling a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. Together with some unexpected allies, the three must race to unmask the mole within the Royal Pack, and hope the King believes them.Complete

The one whose kingdom was never supposed to exist. The moment I met him, I knew: the danger isn't the trials... it's the truth no one dares to speak. They want me silent. Obedient.

Marked by Fate (Completed ✔️)
Warning: Violence, swearing, abuse, and other sensitive topics - Read at your own discretion --------------- Fate can be cruel. Especially when an age old prophecy by a group of oracles says you are fated to lose everyone you care about. On top of possibly being rejected by your mate, or killed if they find out who you are. On the upside though, that same prophecy claims that you have some amazing powers even though you don't. So that's something, at least. ---------------- Isabell McVeigh is 14 years old when she has to separate from her adoptive parents. She winds up just where she was warned to stay far away from. The blood brood pack. She is forced to stay and is made an omega. She still has an escape plan, though it's going to take time to execute. Once the alpha steps down and his son becomes alpha, the command keeping her there will be null and void. Plus with everyone distracted it will be the perfect time to escape. She just has to hope she can make it until then and that she doesn't meet her mate. If she does and he rejects her, all he'll will break loose because that will be the start of it all. Will she be able to survive until her powers fully show themselves and she takes her rightful place or will she be found and extinguished before that can happen?Complete
