Five hundred and eighty-seven tributes have been chosen by the Dragon Lord.
None of them survived.
At eighteen, Mira is next-torn from her village by Zhyrkon, a six-hundred-year-old dragon lord whose appetite for tribute is matched only by his cruelty. The chosen are meant to break quickly, to become another portrait in his gallery: beautiful, detailed, dead.
Mira refuses.
Zhyrkon has ruled through absolute dominance for centuries. He has never been challenged. Never been questioned. Never faced a woman who met his gaze with anything but fear.
Until her.
Survival in a dragon's court means navigating a creature who can burn her to ash within seconds, who has already claimed hundreds of lives before her. So Mira watches, learns, asks questions no one has dared to ask. She studies the Dragon Lord, searching for the pattern that might keep her alive. But the deeper she digs into the mystery of Zhyrkon, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Because the greatest threat may not be his fire...
...but the possibility that he doesn't want her to break at all.
Will Mira survive the Dragon Lord-
or become his next masterpiece?

✨𝙀𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝙃𝙚𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨✨ . . . . Anvi Rajvansh had it all - power, brains, beauty, skills that broke the charts, and a life running at 5G speed. At twenty-five, she was a global business empress, a Michelin-level chef, a polyglot queen, a hacker who could make world governments sweat, and an actress who caused box offices to bow. She was flawless. Unmatched. Unbothered. Except... she was single. Not by choice, but because no man could match her wavelength. And then she died - going out like a legend - while saving a child. But destiny wasn't done with her. She awakens in a parallel world, inside a romance novel she once skimmed and hated. A trash plot. A cringe love story. And worst of all? She is not the heroine. She is the villainess. A side character made to look clingy, jealous, unwanted - a punching bag for the fake heiress who stole her identity, her family, and even her fiancé. But this is not the same Anvi. This Anvi comes armed with genius, grace, and god-tier abilities. This Anvi won't be anyone's background character. This Anvi will rewrite fate itself. And somewhere in the shadows, watching her every move, stands Abhimaan Singh Rathore - the richest man in this world, a royal king of Rajasthan, a storm wrapped in velvet... and the novel's original villain. But the moment he sees the new Anvi, something inside him snaps. He becomes obsessed. Protective. Possessive. And fate starts shifting around them like a loyal soldier. With one reborn goddess and one dangerously devoted king on the board, this world is about to get flipped upside down. . . . . . 🌸💕🌸

The Thread Between Us
☆ SLOW BURN • DARK ROMANCE ☆ 〜 They burned her kingdom to ash. Now she sleeps beneath the roof of its conqueror. Clarice, last princess of Sahradyn, was meant to die with her family. Instead, she was spared, dragged across enemy lines and locked in a tower by the man who shattered her world. King Caelen of Velmoras is cold, calculating, and ruthless. He offers her only one choice: become his concubine, or rot in the tower. Yet even as Clarice plots her survival, something stirs between them. A pull. A thread. The old texts call it the soul-thread: a bond said to bind enemies as often as lovers, rare and perilous, long dismissed as myth. But Clarice feels it now, in every glance, every silence, every clash of wills with the man she should hate above all others. As war brews on the borders and kingdoms begin to fracture, Clarice must decide whether the thread binding her to Caelen is a curse to be severed, or a weapon powerful enough to change the fate of empires.
To Wed a Dead Man
Alaric Thorne didn't just enter a room; he haunted it. Standing at a towering six-foot-three, he was a masterpiece of gothic tragedy. His face was a landscape of sharp angles and porcelain-pale skin, unmarred by the sun for a decade. But it was his eyes-void of warmth, heavy with shadows-that truly paralyzed me. He smelled of cold sandalwood and the sweet, cloying decay of old roses, a scent that promised both a sanctuary and a grave.
