Cursed at birth and bound to shadows, Belladonna Thornweave walks the world as the feared Obsidian Witch. Her golden eyes enchant, her darkness consumes, and her every step blurs the line between savior and destroyer.
Her opposite is Seraphine Dawncaller, a paladin of radiant light and sworn enemy of the abyss. Chosen by the gods, she is everything Belladonna was denied-beloved, blessed, and destined to banish the dark.
When light and shadow collide, kingdoms tremble. But against horrors born from both, even rivals must stand side by side. In their fragile alliance lies hope... and the risk of a bond deeper than destiny itself.
Because the greatest danger is not that they will destroy each other-
but that they might understand one another.
This is an original story written by Charli McDonald and if anyone reads it I would be so grateful

What The Ashes Remember
For centuries, Seraphina was a living Saint, a vessel of divine light gifted by the land's guardian dragon. Her touch could mend any wound, her presence a balm against the world's darkness. But when a rival kingdom slew the dragon and stole its power, her light was extinguished. Now, blamed for the tragedy and stripped of her divinity, she lives in self-imposed exile as a humble village herbalist, her past a ghost that haunts her every waking moment. But the past does not stay buried. A magical plague, born from the corrupted heart of the dead dragon, is seeping back into the world. It is a sickness of decay, a creeping blight that no mortal medicine can stop. To save the people she has come to care for, Seraphina must confront the source of her greatest failure. She is not expecting to find him there. Ash is the Ashen Phoenix, a terrifying omen of ruin whose nature is not to create, but to consume. Wreathed in life-draining grey flames, he is a being of endings and decay. He is also the key to stopping the plague. Bound by an ancient vow to the dragon she failed, Ash offers Seraphina a chilling deal: his power in exchange for her company on a perilous journey to the heart of the corruption. A healer who can no longer heal and a destroyer who brings only silence-together they are the world's only hope. But can light be found in the ashes of a fallen Saint, and can life bloom in the heart of a being made of death?Complete

Fangs & Fury
When the first body fell, the truce began to bleed. Seraphina Vale I didn't ask to be here-standing in a cathedral that reeks of blood and secrets, staring at the one man I swore I'd never need. Darius Fenrir. Wolf royalty with a superiority complex so big it could choke a dragon. He thinks I'm trouble. He's right. Trouble in heels, with a smile sharp enough to slit throats. But when corpses start appearing-bodies branded with symbols no one dares to speak of-I know this isn't about fangs versus fur anymore. Something old is waking, something that wants to burn this fragile truce to ashes. And somehow, it's tied to me. Darius Fenrir I should kill her. End of story. Seraphina Vale is everything I hate-vain, venom-tongued, and far too intoxicating for my own good. She moves like sin draped in silk, and every word out of her mouth makes me want to muzzle her... or worse. But the killings have changed everything. A prophecy soaked in blood has clawed its way back from the shadows, and somehow she's tangled in it. I don't trust her. Hell, I don't even like her. But the more bodies we find, the more I wonder if fate's cruel joke is pairing me with the one creature who could break my kingdom... and me. Dark secrets. Deadly alliances. A killer who bleeds chaos. Welcome to Fangs and Fury.

Hunted
**COMPLETED*** This is book 2 and can be read as a standalone but I recommend you read "Fated" first. Something caught my eye and when I looked up in the mirror I saw Rykan stepping inside, shutting the door and sliding the lock in place. My heart hammered in my chest as he approached me. He came right up behind me, setting his hands on my hips, never breaking our gaze through the mirror. "Kora," he murmured, stepping closer until my back brushed against his chest. His hand slid down to the end of my skirt and he flattened his palm against my bare leg, sliding his hand up my skirt. "I'm married," I blurted, swallowing hard and trying to ignore how much I liked the way it felt having his hands on me. "Hm," he grunted, narrowing his eyes as he continued his ascension up my outer thigh. His touch sent tingles all over my body, sending heat right between my legs. He gripped my leg and suddenly turned me, his hand now palming my ass as he pulled me against him, his teeth scraping against my neck as his other hand up to my neck. "Didn't seem to bother you when you had me down your throat last night," he said, wrapping his hand around my throat and lifting his head to give me one of those heart-stopping stares. "In fact, I believe you started that, angel." Koralie always felt that there was a part of herself missing. A part she hadn't yet discovered. Stuck in a toxic marriage, she's navigating her way out of it when she meets Rykan, a mysterious stranger she feels an undeniable draw towards although she isn't sure why. Things become even more intense when he starts showing up in her dreams, claiming he is a werewolf and they are mates. An even more unexpected turn of events comes when Kora starts looking into the supernatural world and finds it is not as foreign to her as it should be. Warning: This story contains very mature themes including brief mentions of abuse, mature language, mental health and sexual content.Complete
