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

Private Lessons
TRIGGER WARNING/ MATURE CONTENT WARNING: 18+ only. The fictional characters in this story are involved in an AGE GAP, dark fiction, erotic thriller/dom/sub relationship. It is consensual. Protagonist is a legal adult, eighteen years of age. This is a work of fiction, a GUILTY PLEASURE READ if you will, and intended for entertainment purposes. Reader discretion is advised. Daisy feels like she's disappearing. Her boyfriend barely looks at her anymore, her friends don't understand her, and senior year? It's a nightmare. But just when she thinks she's out of chances, Mr. Edwards, her mysterious and sharp-eyed pre calculus teacher, offers her something unexpected: private lessons after school. But these lessons aren't just academic, and Daisy will learn lessons far greater than calculus. Mr. Edwards sees something in Daisy no one else does, and he's not afraid to take control. As their tutoring sessions evolve into something far more forbidden, Daisy is pulled into a hidden world of discipline, desire, and surrender. Under his firm guidance, she begins to thrive-both in the classroom and in the intoxicating dynamic they share behind closed doors. She's learning how to solve for the rate at which angles change... And how to kneel, obey, and unravel. As lines blur and walls break down, Daisy realizes she's stepped into something more dangerous than she could have ever imagined.
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
A Hunter's Paradise
In a land where the coming of night brings the rise of evil, David is a witch-hunter bound by a single, brutal rule: show no mercy. His resolve, forged in the ashes of his father's death, is absolute-until he corners the elusive witch Morwenna. After a vicious battle, he expects to find only death in her wake. Instead, he finds *her*: a beautiful, terrified girl with the emerald green eyes that mark her as his sworn enemy. In a gut-wrenching moment that shatters his oath, David does the unthinkable. He spares her. Now, a fugitive from his own brothers, he must protect the very creature he was trained to kill. But as they flee into the wilderness, the line between duty and desire blurs, and David discovers that the most dangerous magic isn't the power she wields with the moon, but the one she casts on his own guarded heart.
Ashes of the Forgotten
Some fires never fade. Some shadows never rest. Seraphina is a captive no longer - a werewolf forged in fire and shadow, carrying secrets older than kingdoms. Born from forbidden experiments, her phoenix flame is as dangerous as it is uncontrollable. But freedom comes at a cost, and the world outside is darker than the prison walls she left behind. Therion, the king cloaked in shadows, hides a truth buried beneath ice and power. When their paths cross, a spark ignites - fierce, inevitable, and charged with unspoken danger. In a realm where loyalty is fragile and enemies wear familiar faces, their fates entwine. But as the past claws its way back, the question remains: will their fire consume them... or save what little remains?Complete
Whispers of the Abyss
The city is plagued by whispers-shadows that slither through alleyways, unseen hands that brush against skin in the dead of night. Seraphina Duskborne has always felt them watching, lurking just beyond her reach. But when one finally steps into the light, she realizes she was never meant to be ordinary. Lucian, a being woven from darkness and desire, was sent to claim her soul. Bound to the Abyss, he is a hunter of wayward fates-a creature with no heart, no mercy. Yet, something about Seraphina unsettles him, tempts him, makes him hunger in ways he shouldn't. She is not just a mortal. And he is not just her executioner. As their fates intertwine, Seraphina finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and power. Lucian is both her captor and her obsession, his touch sinful, his presence inescapable. But there are greater forces at play-forces that want her dead, and Lucian broken. In the end, one of them must fall. But will it be to darkness-or to desire?Complete
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
