Far from the cityscapes stood the ancient skyscraper-Cedar Dove Academia.
A boarding school where wealth, power, and lineage ruled. Talent and knowledge? Barely noticed. Nestled in the countryside, circled by lakes and mountains, the school itself breathed mystery.
Mornings felt divine-sunlight spilling over peaks, softening the greenery. Yet within its four walls, where pebbled paths gleamed like jewels, tension thrived. Princesses were molded into ladies. Princes, into fighters.
Today marked the new semester. Freshmen arrived with ceremony; they were the heirs of empires. But at the grand doors of Cedar Dove, a car pulled up.
Matthew Harris.
A freshman, devoted to literature, stepped out with his mother. White shirt, chinos, gentle eyes. Not a prince. Not an heir. A commoner, admitted on scholarship.
"Don't be upset if anyone mocks you, okay?" his mother whispered, worry etched deep since his father's passing.
Matthew smiled, kissed her cheek. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll be fine."
And with that, he walked inside-unaware his path would soon collide with Ashley Herbert.
The future queen.

{ "I'm not letting you go again." He whispered. "Good." I said. "Because I don't think that I would survive it." His hand gripped my jaw again, thumb brushing my cheek. My fingers twisted in his shirt. He tilted his head, deepened the kiss, and sneakily trailed his fingers under my dress and up my thigh. "I want these off." He whispered in my ear, pulling on the waistband of my underwear. "You want to go somewhere else?" I asked, biting my lip playfully. } Alice Sinclaire was on a roll.

More Than Resentment
"Strip. Now." His voice dropped low and rough, a command that vibrated through the air. There was something delicious about watching the power shift, watching him- lose control - unravel under my gaze. I smirked while lifting one leg and rested the sharp point of my heel right over the thick outline beneath his pants. "V stop." He said while inhaling sharply, his fingers curling at his side. "You want me?" I asked, my voice silk-wrapped steel. He nodded like an obedient puppy. "Then. Beg." ___________________________________________ Draven Rose Ashthorne is a smart, handsome man, who does not have the privilege to make mistakes.

Varrisa Fernandez, a young aspiring woman, whose only goal is to build something on her own, something that she could call her own not inherited.

Lights of Aurelith
On the continent of Elandor, everyone is divided by kingdom. Every kingdom has its own rules, its own magic, and its own people. Yet once children reach age eighteen, they are all summoned into one Academy. There, enemies are placed in neighboring dorms and old grudges are carried into the common area. The Academy was never built on trust - it was built on fear. Fear that without it, the kingdoms would forget the fragile threads that keep war at bay. We're not supposed to trust each other, let alone care for one another. But tell me how I'm supposed to ignore the one person I can't stop looking at? To walk the Academy's corridors is to carry the weight of every border, every scar, every whispered hatred. No one arrives without suspicion. No one leaves unchanged. Details: Inspired by: Fourth Wing and Tangled Songs inspired from: The Vampire Diaries, Stranger Things, Fantasy Playlists This book contains mature themes. Slow burn (for wattpad level) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/10yHBDQtVVERoHWbTSGi8q?si=I3zaslJFStebc0GAwrqiRA&pi=xzws5c1ITjSQ4Concluida
The Opposition
"The answer is 'A,'" I say, keeping my voice light and kind. Carter snorts from beside me. "No, it's 'C.'" Bingo. I was hoping he'd say that. "The question clearly asks you to round to the nearest tenth. If I'm not mistaken, which I don't believe I am, answer 'C' has two decimal places." I smirk as his mouth twitches into a frown. We're still standing. "Very well, Miss. Jones," Mr. Neilson says, projecting another question. "I can't stand you," Carter mumbles in my ear. I turn my head towards him, pressing my lips against his ear. "Then sit the fuck down, Conners," I whisper. "I'm winning." ... Fairridge Prep is for the best of the best. Sadie Jones, stubborn and clever, is set on being the best. Returning from winter break feeling, more so than ever, that she has stolen her sister's dream, Sadie is determined to spend the rest of Junior year proving that she deserves everything she's worked towards. Carter Conners, notorious flirt (only when it comes to Sadie), will do anything it takes to not spend the rest of his life working at his parents' diner. Whether it's running for the track team or debating, Carter is always competing, and competing to win. Sadie and Carter have been rivals since freshman year, constantly bickering and trying to best each other. But when the rivals are thrown into a week long debate competition that, along with getting the top spot on the Principal's List, will guarantee one of them the title of Valedictorian next year, they find themselves enjoying each other's company more than they would've ever expected. And it leaves them wondering: "Do we really hate each other?"Concluida
The Silent Element
When sixteen-year-old Neel Sharma steps into the Ceremony of Light, all he carries is hope - hope to rise above his poor beginnings, to prove he's more than a forgotten boy from the lower wards. Every initiate awakens one element. Fire. Storm. Water. Earth. But when Neel touches the Origin Crystal, the world shatters. Fire erupts from one hand, lightning from the other - two elements at once. A power that should not exist. The Crystal cracks, the Elders recoil, and the whispers begin: Shattered Core. Cursed. Dangerous. The Academy doesn't know whether to crown him... or destroy him. Among his peers, the fracture spreads. Aarav Menon, once Neel's childhood friend, now burns with envy as Neel steals the attention he craved. Leela Deshmukh, gentle and steadfast, refuses to abandon Neel even as fear surrounds him, her loyalty glowing warmer than she dares admit. And Shanaya Rajput, the Academy's fiery prodigy, sees Neel as the one rival who might eclipse her - a rival she is determined to claim before he destroys them all. But the true danger lies deeper. In the shadows of the fractured Crystal stirs a prophecy older than the Academy: "When flame and storm clash in one vessel, the Serpent shall awaken... Chains may bind it, or the world will burn." Haunted by whispers only he can hear, torn between loyalty and rivalry, Neel must fight not just for his place in the Academy - but for his very soul. Because the storm inside him is not his alone... and if it breaks free, no chain in the world can hold it.
Unspoken Silence
At Elowen Academy, magic isn't the only thing that sparks after dark. Angela Thorne has spent three years locked in an unspoken war with Adrien Ravencourt-prince, prodigy, and infuriatingly perfect rival. Their duel for the top spot in magical theory has been ruthless... until one quiet night in the candlelit library cracks their rivalry wide open. But pride dies slowly, and desire burns slower still. Between whispered debates, sharp-tongued banter, and the looming threat of scandal, Angela will have to decide which is more dangerous: losing to Adrien... or wanting him. Perfect for fans of dark academia, slow-burn tension, and enemies who can't stop circling each other.Concluida

Ever so slowly, I lowered my mouth to the lime. As I did so, I felt the brush of her lips on mine. Just a touch. Just a breath, and it ignited fire in my veins. And at that moment, I forgot a lot.
