In a world where love is both a miracle and a curse, Aurelia Fox has never believed in happy endings.
Not after watching her sister, Evangeline, chase one straight into ruin.
When Aurelia arrives in the wedding her sister pleaded for the fate to stop she expected roses and vows-
not statues frozen in eternal agony, or a garden that breathes with the echoes of heartbreak.
And among the ruins stands Jacks, the Prince of Hearts, with that same unholy charm and a smile sharp enough to wound.
He calls her darling as if it's a threat.
He claims he warned Evangeline.
And when Aurelia realizes her sister's sacrifice-that Evangeline turned herself to stone to save another-
something inside Aurelia fractures.
Fury and grief twist together, setting her on a collision course with the Fate who plays with hearts as if they were cards in his deck.
But Jacks is not the only one keeping secrets,
and Aurelia's magic-born from despair, fed by love-may be the very thing to unmake his world.
In a land of poisoned promises,
where every kiss can kill and every tale hides a curse,
Aurelia Fox will learn that even the broken-hearted can burn the brightest.

REDRAWN BY FATE
Once, there was a boy who loved with all his heart. A love so simple, so pure - the kind that blooms in school corridors and ends with promises written in notebooks. He was a boy who longed for the love he lost - a father gone too soon, a heart half-empty. And when she came, he finally felt safe. But safety turned into fear... Fear of losing her, fear that his love itself was a curse. His love grew possessive - and her wings broke beneath it. One day, she left forever... And with her, she took the last piece of him. Years later, he married - not for love, but for duty. A woman who deserved the world... but was tied to a man whose heart belonged to a grave. Now, two souls live under one roof - one haunted by the past, and the other punished for a love she never received. This isn't a tale of love found - it's a story of love surviving - in silence, in distance, in pain.Lengkap
Never A Choice
"No matter the choices I'm given, it'll always be you, Aurie." He was her best friend, her safe place, her everything-the one person who shared the weight on her shoulders. Every laugh, every secret whispered in the night, every quiet moment that stitched to the fabric of her heart made her feel like the world belonged only to them. But then, in the blink of an eye, he chose someone else. Her world crumbles down. Unaware of the truth behind his decision, Aurora Everhart is left to face the hollow ache of losing him. But as fate pulls her between love and heartbreak, she can't shake the question that still haunts her, 'Was I ever really a choice?' "No one shielded me from the storm the way you did, Ronnie. But now you're leaving me alone with nothing to cover myself." His whole world revolved around her, his only best friend, the one person he thought he knew better than anyone else. He understood her every laugh, every whisper, every unspoken thought...but never the secret she had kept so carefully hidden from him, just as his own heart held truths he hadn't fully understood. Bounded by a promise and terrified of the truth buried deep inside that he refuses to acknowledge, he's forced to choose someone else and leave his Aurie alone in the storm. Will he ever be able to win her back, even after the choices he's made? The two promises that tore his life apart- the one that he still upholds and the other that he failed to keep- whisper words of desolation in his ear: 'I promise to keep you happy, I promise to... marry you' and 'I promise, my baby strawberry, if I'm ever lost, I'll always find my way back to you.' We often think the heart and the brain are at odds, but in their tale, we get to know that hearts themselves are their own fiercest contradictors - stubborn, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore.

Anna-the fierce, untamed warrior queen, willing to burn kingdoms to the ground for victory. Alessandro-the ruthless conqueror, who feared nothing and bowed to no one. Their blades clashed under the crimson sky, their hearts fueled by hatred, their souls destined for war. But fate is a cruel storyteller. Because the ones who once vowed to kill each other... Would soon be willing to kill for each other. To betray their own blood. To defy destiny itself. To love in a world where love was their greatest enemy.

But as dreams from a forgotten era haunt their nights, their seemingly perfect present begins to unravel. Whispers of betrayal, heartbreak, and sacrifice from centuries ago seep into their lives, leaving them questioning the foundation of their love. Echoes of Eternal Love is a gripping(you can read this story without reading the other one they both are different timeline)continuation of The Destiny of Red String, weaving romance, heartbreak, and redemption into a tale of love that transcends lifetimes.

A Blaze in the Darkness
Hunted by a kingdom. Bound to a monster. She'd burn the world to protect them-even if it means losing herself. They thought escaping Maelira's grasp was enough. They were wrong. After secretly tethering herself to the dark sorceress to spare Thorne from being reclaimed, Ariadne Thatcher has kept the truth buried beneath silence and scars. But the cost of her choice runs deeper than blood-because now, the entire kingdom wants her dead. Declared a traitor and branded as a fae monster, Ariadne is the king's most wanted fugitive. With a royal bounty on her head, she and her companions-Thorne, the assassin forged in shadow, and Ezra, the clever spy with too much heart-are being hunted across the realm by blades, spies, and magic alike. Nowhere is safe. No one can be trusted. As Ariadne struggles to contain the magic Maelira twisted into her, Thorne's haunted past resurfaces, threatening to unravel the control he's fought so hard to keep. Meanwhile, Ezra finds his reckless loyalty tested when Evangeline-Ariadne's childhood best friend-appears without warning, bringing with her Ariadne's younger brother, Finian, and more trouble than answers. With old ties reawakening and deadly forces closing in, the group must decide how far they're willing to go to protect one another. Because survival is no longer enough. Not when the king wants Ariadne dead. Not when Maelira still calls her tether. And not when the only way forward may be through fire. Book 2 of The Ashen Reign SeriesLengkap
