In a gilded empire built on betrayal and blood, Princess Kalevala Trevairia was born to rule - or to be ruined. The daughter of a ruthless Emperor and a god-touched lineage, her beauty is both her weapon and her curse. Every smile she gives hides a blade; every promise, a poison.
When a brutal tournament crowns a new champion - a man who wins her hand through violence and fate - Kalevala finds herself ensnared in a game she once thought she controlled. To survive, she must master the art of cruelty her mother perfected, even as her heart stirs toward the one man who threatens her empire's cold order.
But the throne she fights to inherit is not made of gold - it is woven with lies, blood, and nightshade. And as enemies close in and gods whisper her name, Kalevala must decide: will she be her father's curse or her empire's salvation?
The crown is waiting. Who will bleed for it.

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete

Owned By Him | 18+
Owned By Him: Till Death Do Us Apart | A Dark Romance | 18+ Seraphina Blake was born to smile, nod, and obey. A prodigy at the piano and a masterpiece of quiet elegance, she was raised to be seen-not heard. But when her father signs away her future for power and prestige, Seraphina is thrown into a world of sharp suits, colder stares, and a last name that drips with legacy and lies. Damien Thorne is everything she isn't. Billionaire CEO. Heartless. Untouchable. The type of man who doesn't flinch when the world burns-because he's usually the one who lit the match. He never asked for a wife. Especially not one like her. But in a world where love is currency and marriage is war, Seraphina must learn how to survive the empire she was forced into... Even if it means melting the ice around Damien's heart-or letting it consume her. ---------------- The shock stole my voice. I could feel the smooth surface at my back and the heat of his body so close it made my skin burn. My wrists were pinned, and I was trapped. Still, I whispered, "Why are you doing this...?" His voice was low, rough, dangerous. "You play beautifully," he said, his breath ghosting against my skin. "So graceful. So poised. So perfect." For a moment, I almost believed it was a compliment. But then he leaned closer. "But I see past that sweet little act," he whispered. "All the pretty smiles and perfect posture-it's a facade. You're just another spoiled princess playing pretend. But don't bother. You won't fool me." ----------------Complete

"Did he do this to you my queen?" Dark onyx eyes searched her own for an answer. "It does not signify." She said bitterly. "It is none of your concern, my lord. Good night." Before she could turn away, gentle hands gripped her in place. She met the lord before her's eyes again. "It is taking all the restraint I possess, your grace, to ask this as a man of my station should. Did he do this to you?" His face was hard, and body pulled taut. She could feel rage vibrating off of him. She gulped at his words. "It does not matter what he does to me, he is my husband and your king." She hissed, hoping she could deter his wrath with the threat of death. "It does not matter who he is, I will tear him limb from bloody limb." He clearly did not seem to care. Fuck...

When her mother finally found the strength to leave, she believed she was free. But the past pulls people back.

She does not want to play his game, but she cannot help herself. Driven by her own fury and haunted by memories that feel like half-truths, she steps into a world where wealth conceals deception, love is a battlefield, and the past refuses to rest.

But then, he enters the picture. Her fiancé-effortlessly kind, disarmingly warm, everything she isn't.
