Guardian: The Great Beginning
Lunaria is a perfect world of peace and balance, located in a different time and universe than the Earth we humans live on. It is ruled by divine creatures called Spirits, who are in charge of all the energy that flows through the planet and its inhabitants. When the youngest Spirit, Asura, in a desperate attempt to follow along with his older siblings, whom he feels left out and mistreated by, accidentally meddles with the Darkness that lurks within Lunaria, things go desperately wrong. It is up to his eldest sister, Akilah, to find a way to save both her little brother and the world from the Darkness and prevent it from consuming the entire world. The question is, however, whether or not Asura even wishes to be saved anymore. A battle between light and dark commences, with Lunaria's fate in the balance. The final novel in the Guardian Trilogy takes you to the very beginning - long before the Guardians were called to Lunaria. Experience the story of Asura, the youngest of the six Spirits of Light, who'd eventually turn into the villain known as the Master of Nightmares.

Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED
❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

The Caretaker He Bought
"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)
House of the Fallen (Book 1 of the Shardbearers)
BOOK 1 OF THE SHARDBEARERS SERIES | She thought she was human. They knew she was anything but. Now the truth might destroy them all. Elliora has always known how to survive-growing up with a drunk for a father, guarding a heart cracked by betrayal, and burying the aching need to be wanted. But survival means nothing when the Veil rips open and demons come hunting for her blood. Rescued-and then imprisoned-by four dangerously beautiful strangers, Elliora finds herself trapped in a house that shifts like a living thing, with magic she doesn't understand surging in her veins. The men who saved her aren't human. They're fallen angels. And they're convinced she's something rare. Something powerful. Something worth dying for. But Elliora doesn't trust easily. Especially not the cold, commanding leader with secrets behind his eyes. Or the storm-eyed healer who won't let himself feel. Or the wildfire-tempered protector with too much rage. Or the charming flirt who touches her like she's made of light. As Elliora struggles to control a magic that answers to no one-and to resist the pull of the four broken souls around her-an ancient enemy begins to haunt her dreams. He knows what she is. And he'll stop at nothing to claim her. Even if it means tearing the world apart to do it. Darkly romantic, emotionally charged, and wickedly addictive, House of the Fallen is a slow-burn fantasy romance where one girl must choose between the past that broke her and the future that could save-or end-everything.Complete

COMPLETED! First book of the After Death Trilogy. --------------------------- My life ended with a stupid fall. My afterlife began in a monster-infested realm called Injusto. --------------------------- I always thought Death would be peaceful. An end to the struggle, the pain, the quiet exhaustion of just existing. I was so wrong. I woke up in Injusto, a realm of lost souls and terrifying creatures, and learned that death wasn't an end, but a violent, chaotic second chance. Here, survival is a daily battle, and god-like Ethereals bestow cryptic blessings that feel more like burdens. My only plan was to not die a second, even more embarrassing, time. Then he appeared. Krin, a stoic Dragon-Lord from a secret, floating sanctuary. He saved me, offering a glimpse of something I thought was lost forever: hope. My second chance is turning into an epic quest I'm not ready for. And I'm not sure I'll ever be. ========== Copyright Copyright © 2025 by Claire Burns. All rights reserved.
