Hazel has a normal life. She owns a bookstore, is addicted to coffee, and yells at the brownies when they catch her kitchen on fire. Okay, so her life is not normal. She's been able to see mythical creatures since day one, and she doesn't know why. Over the course of her life, she's dealt with it and the mythical world has become a part of her that she can't live without. One day, a man shows up in her store and leaves a box with her name on it sitting on her counter. Opening the box, she finds an amulet. When she puts it on, her "normal" life is roughly turned upside-down and she realizes that the brownies were the least of her problems.

Stolen Confessions
Em once believed in fairytales. But just like everything else, reality took that from her, too. She learned much too early that sometimes the prince is the worst kind of villain, princesses need to know how to save themselves, and the only way to get your happily ever after is to spend it alone. -- Max has only known two things, endeavor and succeed. Born into a life of power and luxury, he has never felt what it means to want for anything. That is until he meets Em during what is meant to be a friendly cabin getaway. Now, "want" is all he knows. -- Warning ⚠️ This story contains graphic sexual content and depictions of SA, not between MCs. There is mention of mental illness, infertility, addiction, and loss. There are scenes with bondage, light impact play, dub-con(consent given while under the influence), and violence. There are also examples of toxic D/s dynamics, and relationships, that become more prominent later in the series. Please note that I write MMC's that are morally gray at best, but most likely pitch black, and sassy, at least marginally traumatized, FMC's. Read at your own risk.Complete

He seemed to be mumbling something but I couldn't understand what he was saying. "What the fuck?!" I gasped. Any tiny ounce of sleep I once had was gone as I desperately searched for something to use as a weapon. I found a broken tree branch and lifted it up. "Evander?" I called. His eyes snapped shut and his fangs shrank as I jumped back. He opened his eyes again and looked at me in horror. "Althea?! What are you doing with that?!" He asked incredulously He must not know what his body was doing wherever he was. I ignored it.

Her stepmother constantly belittles her, while her stepsister, Anya, delights in tormenting her at every opportunity.

To ensure Lira never threatens her reign, Isolde has kept her true identity hidden and has suppressed Lira's latent magical abilities, which would make her an unstoppable force.

When a mysterious stranger arrives in the kingdom with knowledge of her past, Lira's world begins to unravel.
