A tale of forgotten love, shattered history, and a ghost who never let go. When Nia, a struggling young woman burdened by her present, stumbles upon the ruins of an ancient palace, something long-buried awakens. A suit of blackened armor, scarred by time, and a name carved into stone.. Ashen Crest. She doesn't know why her heart aches or why her dreams begin to bleed into a past she never lived. But someone remembers. Ashen Crest was once the kingdom's fiercest warrior, a loyal protector cursed to be forgotten after daring to love the royal princess.. Sani Velmora. Betrayed, erased from history, and left to wander as a ghost, his soul stirs the moment she returns in a new life. He follows her now, unseen and undead, desperate to protect the only thing that ever gave him peace: her. As Nia begins to recover fragments of a love story buried under ash and betrayal, she finds herself torn between two timelines one where she was a princess stolen by war and duty, and the present, where justice for Ashen demands a war of its own. Because loving him again might mean breaking the laws of life and death. And choosing him might cost her everything... again. ---
Encantadia: Panata ng Pag-ibig at Himagsik
In a realm guarded by four elemental gems-Fire, Water, Earth, and Air-the balance of Encantadia is once again threatened. From the frozen world of Mine-ave rises Mitena, the Ice Queen, with a single purpose: to extinguish the light and enslave the elements under her rule. But in the heart of the cold, fire is reborn. Pirena, former Queen of Hathoria, returns from exile-not just as a monarch, but as a mother, a warrior, and a bearer of hope. Upon her return, she is confronted by a ghost from her past: Azulan, the father of her child, the man she long believed to be dead... now a general in the very army that once crushed her kingdom. Between them lies a love long buried-scarred by betrayal, silence, and years of separation. While Azulan walks the razor's edge as a spy within Mitena's court, Pirena struggles to keep her distance, torn between trust and fear. How do you love a man who vanished in the dark? And how do you forgive him when you still don't understand why? Together with their daughter Cassandra and a new generation of Sang'gres, they must face the wounds of the past, the secrets of the present, and a war that will decide the fate of their world. At every turn, hearts will clash with duty, rage will wrestle with forgiveness, and fire will meet ice. In the end, the question is not who holds the most power-but who is willing to fight for the light... and for love. An epic tale of family, betrayal, redemption, and a love that never truly died. A new generation. A new flame. A new Encantadia.
Blind Instincts
*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment. Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it. What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is? ~CONTENT WARNING~ This book contains depictions of physical abuse, foul language, and upsetting scenary.

The War We Weave (The Power Gambit Series 2 )
The Power Gambit Series 2 "Power isn't given, it's taken-play the game or be played." Vengeance is a game of patience. But in a world built on blood and betrayal, survival is the real prize. Nia Cressida Evadne Montalvo Vega was born into power but raised in exile, a forgotten daughter in a world where bloodlines dictate fate. The illegitimate child of Eleazar Vega and Barbara Montalvo, she lived in the shadows until the night everything burned; her mother was murdered, her brother Tobias was accused of patricide, and her father's empire was left in ruins. But Nia was never one to remain a ghost. She carved her own path, stepping out of the darkness not as a victim, but as a federal judge wielding the very law that once sought to erase her. With each step toward revenge, she shed the past like a serpent shedding its skin-reclaiming her true heritage as Nia Cressida Evadne Montalvo Montrevé, the daughter of the powerful but enigmatic Augustus Montrevé. A woman with nothing to lose and everything to take. But power comes at a cost, and the legacy she inherits is just as dangerous as the one she abandoned. And then came Magnus Morven Escarra Ravello.

Bound by a common enemy, Nia and Mav forge an alliance sealed in blood and deception. But alliances built on revenge are as fragile as the war they wage. In a world of whispered betrayals and ruthless ambition, power is never given-it's taken. And the strongest survive.Complete
