The village sleeps, but the forest does not. Years after the fire that claimed the Lantern Keeper, Elara Voss thought the darkness had passed. The woods are quiet, the streets are safe, and for a moment, peace seems real.
But the lanterns still whisper. A single, flickering flame calls to her from the shadows, awakening a power she never asked for-and a responsibility she cannot ignore. Guided by the mysterious Caelen and watched by her grandmother's knowing eyes, Elara must step into a world of hidden magic, ancient secrets, and dangers that hunger in the dark.
The Lantern Keeper is gone... but the fire remains. And now, it has chosen her.

The Stolen Claim
𝒂 𝒃𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏 ☾ When a rogue stumbles onto a pack's land, belly ripped open and minutes from death, all she can hope for is a little mercy-and a chance to survive. All Rosie has ever known is life beside her so-called mate, the one who brutally claimed her as a teen and forced her to abandon her pack. Now, she's on the run, and he will stop at 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 to drag her back. If she wants to live, she has to keep running. Only, there's an infuriating Alpha that refuses to let her go. Of all the ways Luca fantasized of finding his mate, it was never like that- a rogue, bleeding out, barely clinging to life... And already bearing the claim of another, a male she believes to be her mate. Worst of all? She doesn't feel the bond, leaving him with a very one-sided need to sink his teeth into her. Yet fate is relentless. If Rosie wants the freedom she's fought so hard for, she'll have to see the truth for herself-that the male she calls her mate may not be the one fate intended for her. And Luca? He'll have to win her the old way. Not with the bond, but with 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚. ☾ ☾ ☾ "You're not letting me go," she whispered, pulse hammering. Her fingers curled into fists. Fight. Run. But what was the point? He had already decided. And Goddess help her, she felt it in the way he looked at her. Like she was 𝘩𝘪𝘴 to command. How dare he? This was a sentence, not protection. But instead of terror, instead of disgust- her traitorous body 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥. Because he was breathtaking when he took command, when that raw, untamed authority bled from his storm-gray eyes, pinning her in place, jaw clenched like he was barely restraining himself. "𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙠𝙚."
Aeterna Noctis
In the dark, there are no saviors. Only predators... and the bargains we make with them. Elara Vance is dying. Her rare blood is both a curse and a death sentence, and when it begins to claim her younger sister, she is left with one desperate choice. Her only hope lies in a whispered legend: a mysterious, reclusive patron of the night who can grant miracles for a price. The price is her freedom. Kaelen Valerius is ancient, powerful, and weary of eternity. When a mortal woman invokes his ancient pact, he expects another fleeting distraction. But Elara is different. Her very presence is a spark in his endless night, and her blood sings a siren's call that threatens to shatter his icy control. He offers her a year of servitude in his gothic estate in exchange for the medicine that can save her sister's life. Trapped in a world of shifting alliances and ancient feuds, Elara finds herself drawn to the enigmatic vampire lord. Every guarded glance is a battle, every accidental touch a spark that could ignite a dangerous passion. But as a deadly conspiracy rises from the shadows, threatening to burn their dark world to the ground, the line between prisoner and obsession begins to blur. In a game of blood and power, can a love born of desperation survive the coming dawn? Or will the secrets of the eternal night consume them both? ---
The Briar Throne
In a vampire empire shrouded in eternal night, the law is a weapon wielded by the aristocracy to cement their power. Elara, a orphan girl condemned to death for knowing too much, saves herself on the executioner's block through a shocking mastery of the empire's own legal codes. She possesses a mysterious and potent power within her blood-an intoxicating scent of roses that can sway wills and command loyalty, marking her as a dangerous variable in the eyes of the regime. Fighting to survive, Elara is forced to navigate the deadly power struggle between a sadistic Crown Prince, an inscrutable Emperor, and his ambitious younger brother. Her path converges with that of Kaelen, a hardened warrior from an oppressed lycanthrope clan. From mutual distrust, they form an uneasy alliance that slowly evolves into something more, becoming the fragile heart of a burgeoning resistance. But Elara soon uncovers that the empire's corruption is merely a facade for a far more ancient and terrifying threat slumbering beneath the world. The very legal tome she used to save herself may hold the key to preventing an apocalyptic awakening. As revolution ignites, she must walk a razor's edge between vengeance and justice, questioning whether she is destined to be the realm's savior or its newest tyrant. The fate of the world hinges on her choices, and the price of a new dawn may be everything she holds dear.
