1675. In a city choked by shadow, hope can only be purchased with blood and forbidden magic.
Alistair is a gentle scholar haunted by silence. His only purpose is to save his little sister, Anna, from a mysterious, consuming illness. When he discovers an ancient, banned text, it leads him to the only cure: the mythical Blood Amulet, an object rumored to stop death itself-but only for a terrible price.
Alistair's desperate quest for the Amulet throws him onto a dark path and into the orbit of two dangerous adversaries:
Seraphine: A cold, seductive witch driven by an insatiable hunger for ultimate power. She offers Alistair the magic he needs, seeing the naive scholar as nothing more than a valuable tool to be used and discarded.
Silas: A ruthless and dogmatic Captain of the City Guard, whose hatred for all magic-and those who wield it-is absolute. He hunts them both, determined to burn the Amulet and anyone who touches it.
Trapped between the witch's magnetic pull and the hunter's cold justice, Alistair must choose how much of his soul to sacrifice. His love for his sister is driving him into a partnership that will demand betrayal, power, and a final, dark embrace.
Will the scholar save his sister, or will he simply become the first scar on Seraphine's path to absolute darkness?

Wolf's Den: Dream Chaser
Behind the bar at Wolf's Den, Silasine Cain pours whiskey for monsters and gods alike. She's thirty-four, beautiful, and carefully ordinary - at least, that's what she wants the world to see. But buried beneath her skin is the blood of Epiales, the forgotten god of nightmares - a lineage her family has spent generations denying. When she dreams, the world listens. When she feels, shadows move. And when she loves, something ancient awakens. Her quiet life in the underworld of Somerset, Kentucky shatters the night Elias Ward walks through the door - a storm-drenched hunter cursed by the same god who sired her bloodline. He's spent years dreaming of her face, her voice, her scent of smoke and rain... without knowing she was real. Now he's found her, and the curse that binds them both begins to stir. Their attraction is immediate, magnetic - and wrong. Every touch feeds the god sleeping in her veins. Every kiss blurs the line between dream and waking, pleasure and ruin. The closer they draw to each other, the more the world around them begins to twist - as Epiales himself stirs in the dark, ready to reclaim what he lost. As desire becomes obsession and dreams bleed into reality, Silasine and Elias must decide whether their love is salvation... or the end of everything. In Wolf's Den: Dream Chaser, nothing stays buried - not gods, not curses, and not the kind of longing that can bring the dead to life.

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

FOR HER REIGN
They call her the Lifeless Queen. Crowned at seventeen, Empress Priscilla of Calmaria rules with a heart carved from stone and a hand that never trembles. Fear, not love, holds her empire together-and she has no intention of ever showing weakness. But even gods demand worship. And her most loyal worshiper is Lucas Darcy, Calmaria's greatest knight. A commoner who rose through blood and battle, he kneels only to her. For the woman who owns his soul, he swore his sword, body, and soul to the Empress who chose him. To the world, he is her blade. To himself, she is his goddess-the only reason he breathes. Lucas will endure pain, humiliation, even death. He is her sword, her shadow, her dog. But in a world where love is weakness and devotion can be fatal, loyalty is never simple. Lucas is willing to suffer, bleed, and die for a woman who may never return his love. And Priscilla, bound by her throne and her pride, must face the one truth she has always denied: that even the coldest heart can burn. A story of power and passion, cruelty and devotion-where love itself may be the greatest betrayal. Priscilla must face the one thing she cannot control: a knight's love that could either save her empire... or destroy it.
Blood
Blood binds. Blood betrays. Blood remembers. She's living an ordinary life - lectures, late shifts, and trying to keep her head above water - until the night everything changes. A stranger in the glass. Whispers she can't explain. Dreams dripping in crimson. Drawn into a shadowed world where nothing is as it seems, she's pulled from routine into a maze of haunted whispers, forbidden attraction, and ancient rituals she doesn't understand. Each step uncovers more of a legacy she never knew she carried - a bloodline tied to power, darkness, and a dangerous bargain she never agreed to. Now, as her hunger grows and her heart tangles with the very creature who may destroy her, she'll face the ultimate question: fight the darkness that claims her... or surrender to the blood calling her home. Happy reading.....🥰🥰🥰Complete
