Sylvie has spent her life trying not to be seen.
In Woodbury, being unnoticed is survival-especially for a woman who refuses to kneel. But when a mysterious stone comes into her possession, the careful balance of the village begins to rot. Whispers slither from Ashlen Woods. Old protections falter. The forest remembers.
Once a god, now a king of the damned, the ruler of Ashlen was cursed to govern a realm meant to imprison monsters and forgotten beings. When his most powerful relic is stolen from him, he breaks the gods' laws without hesitation-stepping into the mortal world to reclaim what is his.
Sylvie was raised on stories meant to keep her afraid of the forest.
She never imagined the forest would be afraid of her.
Nor that she would become the most coveted prey of a god who does not hunt without intent.

Blood
Blood binds. Blood betrays. Blood remembers. She's living an ordinary life - lectures, late shifts, and trying to keep her head above water - until the night everything changes. A stranger in the glass. Whispers she can't explain. Dreams dripping in crimson. Drawn into a shadowed world where nothing is as it seems, she's pulled from routine into a maze of haunted whispers, forbidden attraction, and ancient rituals she doesn't understand. Each step uncovers more of a legacy she never knew she carried - a bloodline tied to power, darkness, and a dangerous bargain she never agreed to. Now, as her hunger grows and her heart tangles with the very creature who may destroy her, she'll face the ultimate question: fight the darkness that claims her... or surrender to the blood calling her home. Happy reading.....🥰🥰🥰Complete

The Purple Eyed Girl
Thousands of centuries ago humans, vampires, and werewolves lived together in harmony, considering one equal to the other. Ruled by a council of three kings, with one from each fullblood race, peace endured for quite some time. All of it was destroyed when many years later the new vampire and werewolf kings both wanted to rule over the kingdom alone. A massive war broke out between the vampires and the werewolves and millions of lives were lost. In a last attempt to stop the war one hundred years later, the land was divided into three kingdoms, the vampires, humans and werewolves. The borders were shut, crossbreeding was forbidden since it created halfbloods and demons and each kingdom was led by the king of their respective race. In secret, however, it was decided that the human king would watch over them all to prevent another war from ever happening again. Since the human kingdom laid inbetween the other two, the humans invented technology to keep all the races at bay and trained the warriors of their army as skilled hunters. As time and generations went by, the kingdoms became more isolated and the common humans forgot that supernatural beings even existed. However, the war had never truly been resolved so the hatred that the vampires and werewolves had for each other endured. When a mysterious murder occurs, chaos breaks out within the kingdoms. A throne must be taken, blood must be shed, a choice must be made and all must be answered by a girl with purple eyes.

Where students are forced to feel again... and prove they can survive it. Some break. Some don't make it out. And some... begin to question everything. Because the moment emotion returns- so does the truth. And once you feel... you can't go back.Complete
