THE BROKEN CROWN
The night the kingdom of Elaria burned, the stars hid behind smoke and sorrow. Princess Isabella watched flames devour the world she had always known-her home, her people, her family. The roar of battle drowned the lullabies of her childhood, and the clash of steel stole away the innocence she had once carried like a fragile crown. And at the heart of the chaos stood Adrian. Not the mysterious stranger who had once stolen her heart in the town streets, but the ruthless general of Draven, leading the assault with unyielding fire in his eyes. His sword cut down her guards, his orders shattered her gates, and his betrayal pierced her heart deeper than any blade. That night, Isabella's world ended. Her parents fell before her eyes. Her kingdom was lost. Her heart, once soft and unguarded, was broken beyond repair. But she survived. From the ashes of grief, she made a different kind of vow: never again would she be trapped in a life she could not control. She would flee, escaping the ruins of her past to find safety and a chance to live. Not as a warrior seeking vengeance, but as a soul seeking survival, a life reclaimed from the shadows of loss. And though she did not know it then, destiny would one day bring her face to face with the man who had destroyed her life. The man who would become both her greatest enemy... and the one love she could never escape.Complete
Undead Doll
Freya wasn't supposed to live past fifteen. Sick, forgotten, and confined to a sterile hospital room, she had already resigned herself to dying, until the night her doctor turned into a predator and she became a killer. But death, it seems, no longer has a hold on her. Waking up in the home of the enigmatic Dr. Mikhail Vasiliev, Freya discovers that the price of survival is much higher than she imagined. Cursed by hunger, bound to the man who remade her, she must navigate a world of shadows and desires where blood is both food and sin. As her humanity crumbles and her new power lures her into darkness, Freya faces an impossible choice: surrender to the monster she has become, or forge her own path through the cold embrace of immortality. Seductive, violent, and heartbreakingly intimate, Undead Doll is a gothic descent into obsession, power, and the fragile line between victim and predator.
