In the cursed kingdom of Valera, every lie grows a rose.
Every truth draws blood.
Centuries ago, the goddess of Truth punished mankind for its deceit. Now, thorns bloom from every falsehood spoken, marking skin with petals and pain. The people of Valera have learned to survive by weaving their words carefully-or dying beneath the weight of their own dishonesty.
Primrose Vale has never been careful.
A liar, a thief, and a survivor, she's made a living deceiving the dying remnants of the world. Her body bears the scars of her lies-silvered vines winding her wrists and throat like jewelry forged from sin. When a heist in the ruined Temple of Truth goes wrong, she's caught by Sir Kael Arden, the Queen's relentless knight-a man bound by faith, secrets, and his own haunted past.
Chained by a spell that silences her deceit, Primrose is dragged across a broken land to face judgment. But when Kael discovers that her lies might be the key to ending the goddess's curse, their paths tangle in ways neither expected. As they hunt for the mythical Heart of the Thorn, the lines between truth and falsehood blur-and something dangerous begins to grow between them.
In a world where honesty can kill and deceit can heal, love itself might be the deadliest lie of all.

Beneath Black Banners
In a kingdom torn apart by war, General Kael Vireon, feared commander of the ruthless Black Banner army, is known for leaving nothing but ashes behind. His enemies whisper his name like a curse-especially Princess Elira Thorne, heir to the throne of the resistance kingdom of Avaria, whose brother was killed in one of Kael's raids. When Elira is captured during a failed infiltration mission, Kael spares her life-not out of mercy, but strategy. He offers her a dangerous deal: help him uncover the truth about a growing rebellion within his own ranks, and he'll end the war with Avaria peacefully. Bound by mutual hate and forced proximity, they embark on a journey across hostile territories and political intrigues, where betrayal lurks behind every shadow. As tensions rise and secrets are uncovered, Elira discovers that Kael isn't the monster she believed-and Kael realizes that Elira's fire may be the only thing strong enough to melt the ice around his soul. But with kingdoms at stake and loyalties tested, love may become the most dangerous battlefield of all.
Vampire's Pet
The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacakeZakończone
WHISPERS OF EMBERLIGHT
Magic was banned in Elarion long before Lyra Vale was born - but the power in her blood refuses to die. Hidden deep in the woods, she heals in secret, trading pieces of her life to save others. Each touch costs her a year, a memory, a heartbeat. And yet she cannot stop. When a wounded soldier collapses at her door, Lyra breaks her one rule: never heal a stranger. But Kael Draven is no ordinary man. His heart carries a curse - one that silences all emotion and devours anything close to love. As war brews and old gods stir beneath the earth, their fates become entwined - one born to heal, one cursed to feel nothing. But love has a way of rewriting even the cruelest destinies.Zakończone
The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Zakończone
The Guardian and the Soulbearer
He was ordered to bring her to the capital. He wasn't told he'd have to deliver her to her death. Lyana has spent her life staying small, head down, hands in the soil, past buried where no one can dig it up. But when masked men tear into her home in the night, Ravenwood burns, and the quiet life she built shatters in minutes. The man who saves her is no hero. He is the Crown's knight, sent to find her, take her, and hand her over. Kaiden is cold, controlled, and trained to obey. Then Lyana's power slips out in his hands, and he realizes the rumors are true. Lyana is not just gifted. She may be the last Soulbearer, the one the King needs to awaken the dying Queen. Awakening the Queen demands a sacrifice. Kaiden does the unthinkable. He runs with her. They are hunted by the King and the Circle, and trapped by a prophecy that insists Lyana's life is the price of salvation. Kaiden carries a secret no one can ever learn. He is a prince declared dead, and the Queen's son. If the Crown catches them, Lyana will be offered. If the Queen rises, Lyana falls.
SUCK
I'm a vampire allergic to blood, and they say vampires are immortal. They fucking lied. A stake to the heart? Cute. The truth is blood-our own. Feeding on vampires keeps you eternal. Fall in love with a mortal (with them loving you back) and immortality unravels-first your fangs, then your power, then your life. For me, Auren Vale, that sounds like salvation. Two hundred years is too long to suffer when every drop of blood burns like fire. I'm ready to end it all. Then I meet Sienna Moren-the girl whose blood feels like poison and paradise. Loving her could kill me. Protecting her could destroy us all. And I've never wanted anything more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠤⣄⡴⠚⠛⢶⡋⠁⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⢦⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠴⠶⢶⣏⠀⠀⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠙⢦⠀⠀⠘⢧⠀⠈⢷⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠙⢧⡀⠀⠀⠘⣧⠀⣀⣼⠧⡤⠴⠻⢦⡀⠸⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣠⠟⠙⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢷⠶⠶⠚⠉⠉⠉⠀⢰⠇⠀⠀⡼⠙⢦⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⣼⠃⠀⣠⠟⣹⠶⣄⡀⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡟⠀⠀⡼⠁⣤⣄⠁⠀⠀ ⢰⠇⠀⣸⠃⡴⠃⠀⠈⠛⣦⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣆⡀⠘⠳⣤⣸⡌⢳⡄⠀ ⣼⠀⢀⡟⢰⠇⠀⠀⢤⡀⠙⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢷⡄⠀⠉⢻⡇⠈⢷⡀ ⣿⠀⢼⠃⡟⠀⠀⠀⢸⠙⢦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣆⢀⣼⠧⣄⠈⣇ ⢿⠀⠘⢦⡙⠳⣤⣀⣼⠀⠈⣧⠀⣀⡀⢀⣠⣤⣤⡶⠛⠛⢻⠀⠀⣿⠀⢻ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⠶⣤⠉Zakończone
Notes between us 🎹📝
Backstory: Adrian Vale was born into wealth - the kind that comes with power, respect, and danger. The Vale name carries weight, tied to an empire built on generations of business...and the darker world beneath it. To outsiders, Adrian is everything they envy: charm, fortune, legacy. But behind the tailored suits and expensive watches is a man who wants none of it. Music is his only escape - the piano, the only place he can breathe. In the Vale household, though, passion isn't purpose. His father made that clear: a man's worth comes from numbers, not melodies. When his father dies, Adrian inherits everything he never wanted - the money, the power, the loneliness. Every smile feels fake. Every date, a transaction. So now he tests people, playing the part they expect: the rich bachelor who can buy anyone's affection. Most fall for it. Until Rowan. Rowan Hart grew up in a house that was always one paycheck away from falling apart.Her mother works double shifts, her sister juggles school, and Rowan takes care of her ailing grandfather. Writing was her escape - a way to make sense of the chaos. Then, one night, her words reached someone. One story went viral, and suddenly, Rowan Hart was a name people knew. But success didn't change her heart. She still lives in the same small house, still worries about bills and hospital visits. She's learned that love and honesty mean more than money ever could. When Adrian Vale walks into her life - charming, distant, and too polished to be real and she sees something beneath the surface. Loneliness. The same kind she's written about for years. And maybe, just maybe, the stories she writes aren't just meant to heal her anymore. Maybe what's she's been writing was manifesting him to her.
Healer's Mark
She wears gloves like armor. He bleeds silver instead of blood. And when she touches him - the world remembers what it means to burn. Lysara Vale was once a healer. Now she's cursed - her touch doesn't mend, it reveals. Pain. Secrets. Death. When a wounded royal soldier named Kael is brought to her, she swears to keep her distance. But Kael doesn't want to be healed. He wants her touch - even if it kills him. Their bond is forbidden. Their magic is alive. And every time they touch, something ancient wakes beneath their skin. 🔥 A story of ruin and devotion. Of gods buried in shame and lovers who refuse to die quietly. Perfect for fans of dark academia, star-crossed lovers, and slow-burn obsession.Zakończone
The Quiet Offering
The gods chose them. But what if the gods lied? Cael's world runs on worship-every birth, breath, and death bound to divine light. He's never questioned it. Until his sister slips into an unnatural coma, and the gods demand a price for her salvation. Hunted by monsters, torn between loyalty and truth, Cael must decide: will he wield the sword that protects the lie, or ignite the flame that burns it all down? A tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and love in a world where gods wear masks, and faith itself can topple kingdoms. (Slow-burn, but once it ignites, it consumes.)
ASHFALL (A dystopian novel)
The world ended in fire. The lies came after. Twenty years after the last great war, what's left of humanity survives under the Dominion- An iron-fisted regime that controls the only clean air left on earth. The surface is a wasteland of ash, storms, and death.... or so everyone's been told. Kael Draven once enforced the Dominion's will. Now branded a traitor, he hides among the ruins he helped create hunted by the soldiers he once called brothers. But when he discovers a secret operation to release a new toxin across the wasteland, Kael realizes the air isn't poison... it's being poisoned. To stop the Dominion, he'll have to cross the dead lands- and he can't do it alone. Lyra Vance has survived her whole life out here. Reckless, volatile, and untamed, she's the kind of woman who'd rather burn the world than bow to it. She doesn't trust Kael, She shouldn't. But when their paths collide, survival forces an alliance neither wants- and sparks a war that could change everything. In a world built on ashes and secrets, trust is dangerous. Love is lethal. And the truth could kill them both. ASHFALL - Where the sky burns, and the survivors are the ones who learn how to fight back.
