Welcome to the Empire. Where the Prophecy is law, and betrayal is the only way to survive it.
 
                                                                  	*****
 
Two thousand years ago, the Prophecy of Fire and Light foretold the coming of the Queen Empress who would lead the Empire into a time of peace and tranquility. But instead of the coming of a prosperous world, a forbidden love for the Empress waged a war that ravaged the land, creating a chasm between the factions, raising the death toll of innocent lives until the final, bloody battle.

Centuries later, Alexandra, a twenty-two-year-old barista living in Boston, is taken to an unfamiliar realm of mystery and magic where her life is threatened by Reylor, its banished Lord Steward. She crosses paths with Treyan, the arrogant and seductive Crown Prince of the Empire, and together they discover how their lives, and their love, are so intricately intertwined by a Prophecy set in motion so many years ago.

Alex, now the predestined Queen Empress Alexstrayna, whose arrival was foretold by the Annals of the Empire, controls the fate of her new home as war rages between the Crown Prince and Lord Steward. Either choice could tear her world apart as she attempts to keep the Empire's torrid history from repeating itself. In a realm where betrayal and revenge will be as crucial to her survival as love and honor, Alex must discover whether it is her choice - or her fate - that determines how she survives the Empire's rising conflicts.

[This story is horror Erotica/Dark Erotica] Alexis "Alex" Cross, an urban explorer and journalist with a reputation for diving into the darkest corners of the world, has always been mistaken for a man due to her androgynous appearance. This suits her just fine-it keeps people at a distance and lets her focus on uncovering the truth behind the mysteries she pursues. When she hears about Ravenhurst Keep, a decaying mansion hidden deep in a forgotten forest, she's immediately intrigued. The manor's sinister history-filled with tales of ghostly apparitions and unexplained disappearances-promises the story of a lifetime. But from the moment Alex steps inside, Ravenhurst Keep proves to be far more than she bargained for. The mansion, seemingly alive, traps her within its walls, and a brutal attack leaves her face scarred and her left eye destroyed. When she awakens in the basement, she finds her wounds mysteriously healed, but something is horribly wrong. Her left eye now reveals a horrifying new world-Ravenhurst Keep is filled with monsters, beings of unsettling beauty and terrifying power. These creatures, while seductive, are as dangerous as they are alluring, pulling Alex into a deadly dance where desire and danger are intertwined. Yet, they are not her only threat. The mansion is also home to other trapped souls-humans who have been twisted by the curse that binds them to this place. Seeing Alex as a rival, they hunt her relentlessly, driven mad by their own desperation to escape. Caught between the seductive pull of the monsters and the deadly wrath of the damned souls, Alex must navigate the mansion's ever-changing halls. Each step closer to freedom risks losing her humanity-and her very soul. "Hunted by Humans, Loved by Monsters" is an erotic horror tale of survival, where love and terror are inseparable in a nightmare that refuses to end.
