Ashes to the Tides Book 1 : Dark Waves
Some bonds are forged in fire.
Others are drowned in the sea.
Elara has spent her life surviving forces she was never meant to carry, voices that claw at her mind, power that threatens to consume her, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
When the tides begin to shift and ancient magic stirs, she is forced back into a world where gods whisper, shadows move with intent, and destiny is anything but kind.
Yuno is bound by loyalty, secrecy, and a truth he cannot fully share. Drawn to Elara by something deeper than choice, he stands between her and the darkness, yet he may also be part of it.
As betrayal seeps through trusted hands and the line between control and surrender blurs, Elara must decide who she is willing to become to survive. Because some powers do not ask to be wielded.
They demand to be unleashed.
Ashes to the Tides is a dark fantasy romance about fractured identities, forbidden bonds, and the dangerous beauty of choosing yourself,even when the world demands your ruin.

Unseen shadow | Mafia Kade and Elara |
{Unseen Shadows}🌑🖤 --- Last warning, Elara. Safeword now, or. "Please.. "Elara begged him again".. His face darkened, a cruel smile spreading across his face. "Too late." He grabbed her hips, lifting her up and positioning himself between her thighs. She tensed, her body bracing.......read more.. The city of Ember Hollow was alive, bustling with secrets that danced through the streets like whispers in the night. Everyone knew who controlled it all-the mafia boss, Kade Alistair. Ruthless, sharp-eyed, and powerful, he ruled the underground with a fist of iron. His name alone made men tremble and women disappear behind closed doors. But to the outside world? Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety. All that mattered was power, control, and keeping his enemies in line. A cold-hearted king, untouchable, invincible. On the other side of the city, Elara Blake lived a different kind of life-one filled with light. She moved through the world with soft steps, kind words, and a gentle heart. Elara worked at the local flower shop, her days filled with the sweet scent of roses and the warmth of sunlight filtering through glass windows. She was the kind of girl who smiled at strangers and found joy in the smallest moments, unaware that her peaceful world was built on the foundations of darkness she couldn't see. Ember Hollow was a world divided. Kade's shadows ruled the night, while Elara's kindness bloomed in the daylight. Two worlds, completely separate, completely unaware of the other's existence...Complete
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.

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? ---
Before We Fell Again
One life wasn't enough to love him. When Elara wakes up in her eighteen-year-old body, she realizes fate has given her an impossible gift a second chance. In her first life, she was thirty-two when she died-lonely, heartbroken, haunted by the memory of the one man she never confessed to: Headmaster Adrian Vale. Cold. Untouchable. A man carved from discipline and shadows. Now she's back at the beginning. Back in the dorms. Back in the classrooms. Back to the year she first fell in love with him. But Adrian doesn't know her. He doesn't remember the life they never had. And he doesn't know that in five years, she watched him break... and bury everything he once was. This time, Elara swears she won't let him slip away. This time, she'll risk the rules, the scandal, even her own sanity- to save him. To love him. To rewrite their ending. Dangerous age gap. Forbidden obsession. Second-chance romance tangled with time itself. One wrong move, and history will repeat the heartbreak she's already lived. But one kiss could change everything. What if love gave you another chance... but fate wanted its revenge?
Soul Searcher
The day Elara Vale almost lost her sister, the world shifted. Roots tore through the soil at her touch, shadows bent unnaturally, and in one heartbeat, everything she thought she knew cracked apart. Her mother's truth followed soon after: magic was real, it lived in her blood, and it was time she faced the Academy. Caelestis Academy is nothing like Elara imagined. Towers carved with runes rise over a mist-filled gorge, students are sorted into factions of Earth, Water, and Air-and everywhere she turns, the absence of a fourth lingers like a scar. Soul. Erased. Condemned. Forbidden. While others wear their trauma like a badge, Elara carries only questions-and a secret she can't afford to reveal. Because the fire burning inside her does not belong to the earth she's been claimed by. It belongs to the one element the world has sworn to fear. Haunted by whispers, tangled in rivalries, and pulled toward friendships she never expected, Elara must decide who she can trust before the shadows beneath the school rise again. Some truths are heavy enough to break you. Others can set the world on fire.
