Althea is an island divided by far more than rivers and forests.
For centuries, a magical barrier separated its regions, keeping ancient forces asleep in the
south. Now, that barrier has vanished - and something dangerous is beginning to awaken.
Ondine is an Amazon, born to fight, trained to resist.
But when a magical artifact responds only to her, everything changes. The shell in her hands reveals an ancient riddle, a whisper from the gods - and awakens something inside her that goes beyond magic. Something that burns in her skin, echoes in her blood... and begins with
the touch of a stranger she should never desire.
Kyre is a warrior from the sea - a triton, sent to the surface to deliver a warning.
But upon meeting Ondine, he realizes he's more entangled than he ever imagined. What was supposed to be a simple mission turns into a journey marked by silent revelations, brutal confrontations, and deep, forgotten secrets.
There's desire in every clash, electricity in every silence. And no matter how much he tries to stay distant, he already knows: it wasn't fate that brought him to her - it was something greater.
To restore the barrier, Ondine and her friends set out on a mission, crossing forgotten lands and facing forces that defy all reason.
Along the path between duty and desire, she'll learn that some choices shape not only who we are... but who we're meant
to become.

And the Forest Watched
The world rots under the weight of forgotten gods. The Devil no longer answers, and the Hollowlands - once under his shadowed protection - are left to starve and die. Hunters ride again in the king's name, witches burn in the villages that once worshipped their own, and the earth itself sickens with every prayer left unheard. Katerina, last of a fading bloodline, was born without the gift her kind once carried - or so she believes. When a stranger steps from the forest and the rot itself begins to stir, something buried in her wakes with it. Her touch calms the blight, her dreams echo with another's voice, and her blood may hold the one thing this dying world has long forgotten: the power to restore. But restoration is never mercy. In the Hollowlands, what heals also remembers, and what remembers always hungers.

Return (mxm)
I have been on display for the humans as long as I can remember. I'm nothing but a trained seal, a show pony. Something to "ooh" and "ahh" at by young and old their hands and faces pressed against the glass of my prison. I follow every order. I obey every command. I have to, though I resent his control over my life with every fiber of my being. If I disobey, if I become too much of a problem, he may give me exactly what I wish for. He may let me return. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore.

The myth of Équili. I will find you in every life - series.
She was never meant to awaken... and he was never meant to care. Sarina has spent her life hiding a power that shouldn't exist-one that even the ancient fairies fear. When a violent surge exposes her abilities, she is sent to train under Ariel, a cold, exiled warrior whose own past is buried in betrayal and silence. He is everything she despises: strict, unreadable, merciless in his methods. She is everything he didn't expect: stubborn, fragile... and terrifyingly powerful. Their world is fractured between elemental bloodlines, sacred myths, and a forbidden book lost to history. Kingdoms are watching. Priests are hunting. Something old is waking beneath the surface-and Sarina might be the key to saving or shattering everything. But power comes with pain. Training feels like war. And the most dangerous thing in the temple isn't the magic. It's the way he looks at her when her power flickers. It's the way her heartbeat changes when he steps closer. In a world where loyalty is deadly and emotions are a weakness, two broken souls are forced together by fate... or something far more dangerous. Magic. Tension. Slow-burn obsession. This is not a love story. This is how it begins.
