She sees every thread of destiny-except her own.
As the Oracle of Elaris, Lyra is bound to truth and fate, cursed to witness the rise and fall of kingdoms yet never touch the future she dreams of. Until one night, beneath a silver tide of stars, she meets Kael-a mysterious man born of water and moonlight-within a dream too vivid to be illusion. His presence feels achingly familiar, as if their souls have met before.
But what begins as a dream quickly unravels into prophecy. Lyra and Kael are bound by a fate written long before their births-a union that could unite their realms... or destroy them both. As desire deepens into devotion, an envious rival rises from the shadows, hungering for Lyra's power and the throne that her visions promise.
To protect Kael, her people, and the fragile bond between their worlds, Lyra must face the Duel of Fate-a trial where victory demands sacrifice, and love itself may be the price.
Yet even fate can be rewritten by those who dare defy it.
And when the final tide falls, two hearts will rise as one-crowned eternal rulers of water and vision, bound by prophecy, and unbroken by destiny.

It is a slow burn, but worth it. ~ After a devastating alien invasion leaves Earth in ruins, humanity struggles to survive in isolated zones, clinging to life behind barriers of failing technology. Lena, a skilled engineer with fierce determination, dedicates her life to maintaining what little remains of this protective technology-especially the light posts that keep the Xyvarians at bay. But when a search for medicine pulls her outside the safe zone, she encounters a certain alien. Towering, muscular, and adorned with sharp, curving horns, this alien is a calculated hunter, though his interest in Lena is anything but logical. Drawn to her, he pursues her in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, one that blurs the line between predator and prey. As Lena fights to evade capture, the tension between them ignites into a charged, forbidden attraction that neither can fully understand. He is unlike any alien she's ever faced-Machiavellian, dangerous, unyielding, yet inexplicably captivated by her. Lena, wary and unwilling to surrender, finds herself both repelled and fascinated by the Xyvarian who watches her with a gaze that burns with something far more primal. As she grapples with confusing desires and the disturbing revelation of a breeding program, Lena is forced to question everything-her survival, her humanity, and her heart. ~ (The artwork featured in my cover photo was sourced from Pinterest.

The Obsidian Pact
The Obsidian Pact Lady Elara Veridia is a woman living on borrowed time. Her ancient family's wealth is gone, and her secret superpower-a chaotic, unpredictable telekinetic Aura-threatens to destroy her from within. Her only salvation comes in the form of a decree: a forced marriage to the most powerful man in the Territories. Kael Arcadia is a ruthless industrialist whose riches are limitless and whose heart is a glacial void. He sees Elara not as a bride, but as a calculated acquisition to secure his political agenda. Their union is a cold business merger, conducted under the sheer, unyielding weight of his high-tech Citadel. But this isn't just a political contract. Kael is guarding a terrible secret: an ancient fantasy evil known as the Void Entity is awakening, and only the rare defensive power of his bloodline, combined with the raw, volatile energy of Elara's Aura, can contain it. Their reluctant partnership quickly turns into high-stakes combat training, where mutual distrust gives way to dangerous, undeniable attraction. As Elara and Kael fight to stabilize their combined power, they are watched by Lysander, a charming, jealous rival who seeks to seize control of the Arcadia empire. His looming betrayal threatens not only to fracture their fragile alliance but also to unleash the Void upon the world. To save their people, Elara must master the power that terrifies her, and Kael must risk the one thing he swore to protect: his heart. Can a marriage born of duty and cold calculation evolve into the passionate strength needed to defeat a world-ending threat?
The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025Complete
