darkromance forbidden love mythology

Erythéa, daughter of Poseidon, was born to rule the tides and the creatures that inhabit the ocean's depths. Her song echoes among the waves, and her power is young, just like her.
Ashmodan, heir to Beelzebub and to a mortal who gave him life at the cost of his own, carries within him the weight of two natures: infernal blood and the human heart.

Since childhood, fate has intertwined them-but also separated them. An ancient law forbids their union, leaving their story silent and their intimacy lacking.

When Erythéa is presumed dead, swallowed by the very sea that consecrated her, Ashmodan refuses to accept the end. Between forgotten kingdoms, dangerous pacts, and enemies rising from the darkness, he will face gods and monsters to bring her back. But not alone. With the help of the Ascension of Hell, Ashmodan will traverse the world to find his way.

"Ashes of Heaven and Hell" She was Heaven's most precious angel. He was Hell's most feared devil. And somewhere between the light and the darkness, they found each other. When Aurora is torn from the celestial realm and dragged into the Devil's world, she expects fire, torment, and cruelty. Instead, she finds Lucifer-dangerous, intoxicating, and devastatingly beautiful. His touch is temptation, his words are poison, and his love is the sin she cannot stop committing. But every stolen moment comes with a cost. God will never forgive her. Heaven will never take her back. And Hell is no place for someone with wings as white as snow. War brews between angels and devils, and betrayal hides in every shadow. Yet, no matter the danger, Aurora falls deeper-into his arms, into his darkness, into the kind of love that could burn the world to ash. And when Heaven finally comes to take her back, the devil keeps his promise. In other books, the hero says he will burn the world for his girl-but the devil truly did it. A dark romance of forbidden love, sacrifice, and the beautiful tragedy of loving what you were meant to destroy.

Could Elowyn be the one to break the endless curse?

As Elowyn learns to wield her newfound powers, she finds herself torn between fear and duty. But when the Abyssal King threatens everything she holds dear, Elowyn must decide: will she face her destiny, or let the ocean swallow it whole?

Rhea has always felt the pull of the sea-a magnetic, unyielding connection that whispers promises of secrets buried deep within its waves. When a raging storm devastates her coastal village and leaves her family lost to its depths, Rhea's life becomes defined by grief and unanswered questions. Haunted by vivid dreams of a mysterious figure and the constant ache in her chest, she begins to wonder if the ocean is calling her for a reason she's not ready to understand. The answers arrive unexpectedly, as the god of the sea himself, Poseidon, emerges from the waters to claim that Rhea is bound to his realm and to a power she cannot yet comprehend.

Poseidon believes Rhea is the key to restoring the balance that Erebus seeks to destroy. But the journey is far from simple. Shunned by her village and burdened by her past, Rhea struggles with the weight of her destiny, her growing connection to Poseidon, and the dangerous allure of the shadows beneath the waves.

"Is this the fate you had in mind for me?! I'm going to die today, and NOTHING will ever come of my life! Your CHOSEN is worth nothing to you!" Tears streamed up my face, and I steeled myself for the inevitable. As I fell, I caught sight of the landscape below-a beautiful forest, rolling valleys, waterfalls, and lakes. It was breathtaking, and I felt a pang of regret that I might never set foot on that ground. I tried spreading my wings again, but the pain was unbearable. As the ground rushed up to meet me, I saw a lake almost directly below me. I could only hope it was deep enough to break my fall. With one final, desperate effort, I slowed my descent just enough to aim for the center of the water. "Gods! PLEASE SAVE ME!" I screamed, my voice torn from my throat as I hit the water with a bone-shattering force. The impact knocked the breath from my lungs, and everything went black as I sank into the depths.

When the beloved prince is lured into the ocean by an enchanting song and never returns, the king launches a brutal hunt, slaughtering the creatures of the deep in his grief and rage. But vengeance never comes without consequence. Beneath the waves, the Sea King mourns two daughters lost to the blades of men. And in his fury, he prepares for war.
