Ersa Grayson has always lived a life of quiet normalcy - or so she thought. But the night the Red Moon rises, everything she knows shatters. Shadows stir, secrets unravel, and creatures of the night awaken to the blood that runs through her veins.
Danger is closer than she ever imagined. Ares Dawson, enigmatic, terrifying, and impossibly magnetic, is more than he seems - and he holds the key to her survival. Bound by forces she doesn't yet understand, she is forced to confront a world of vampires, werewolves, and witches - a world that wants her dead... or alive for reasons she cannot yet understand.
With a father guarding secrets darker than the night, a best friend whose loyalty might come at a cost, and hunters circling like predators, Ersa must navigate deception, desire, and a destiny she never asked for.
Her blood is coveted. Her life is a target. And the choices she makes will determine who survives the night - and who becomes something no one expected.
Dark. Dangerous. Forbidden. Some secrets are worth dying for... but some will destroy you.

"There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable." - Mark Twain ------------------------- The moment our eyes meet, the sparks in the air are almost tangible. My heart begins to flutter in my chest as I slowly slip away, drowning in those arcane silver seas that glinted with specks of gold in them. My breaths are stolen away with just a fortuitous slight brush of his hand against mine. And he isn't exactly in oblivion of the profound emotions he kindles in me. He is rather transparent about it. But, he is forbidden. He is my cousin's husband. The cousin who means more than a sister to me. We are bestfriends. And I just couldn't be selfish enough to set fire to their marriage that was already falling apart. So, I concealed my unequivocal attraction for him in the deepest corner of my mind until the night when he shows up on my doorstep with intents darker than the tenebrous night. -------------------------- **Warning: This novella contains mature and sexual contents.

His Curse , My Ruin
This is a story of light and darkness, sun and moon. They say true love never fades... but sometimes it is the person you love who fades away. Sometimes love endures, but at the cost of your life. Tales of true love do not always have happy endings. You will find stories steeped in trauma, sadness, and torture-all in the name of "true love." And after enduring all that pain, the heavens still could not bless it. They separated the lovers. Why such cruelty? Perhaps their love, purer than heaven itself, was something the gods could not bear. So, they killed the light. And without it, the darkness lost all purpose. In his despair, the darkness spread further than ever before. Enraged, he was ready to tear the sky apart, but his powers were sealed. So, he took his own life to join his light. This final act was a sin against the gods, leaving a terrible curse upon the world. This is where our tale begins. But what if fate offered another chance? What if the Gods themselves granted a new life? Born again in the same bodies, with the same names, but in another universe... He is still the darkness, the cursed child who inherited its power. She is still the beauty,a fragile, delicate angel who shines as the light, yet holds no power. Will history repeat itself? Or will their story be written differently this time?
