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.

"I felt so caged again, as if I had wings but I wasn't allowed to fly, a voice but I wasn't allowed to speak. It was a scary feeling at first, but later you just get used to it, but you just want freedom and the feeling of safety. Why did I have to be caged in this dump? I thought about the Phoenix again. Did the Phoenix hate me? What had I ever done to this Phoenix? I balled my fists up in anger as I stared outside the window still, watching a great brown eagle fly outside." ("The Normality" is part 1 of "Destiny of Fire", the first book of the "War of the Phoenix" series) For quite a long time, a legendary bird called the "Phoenix" tried to possess a woman and her children to come in hopes of taking over the world. When it gets ready to try and possess its next victim, Alisha Quill, a group called the Storm-seekers and another group called the Spreaders are hard at work to stop the Phoenix in any way possible, including asking for the help of the most powerful man in the world; Almaroz. Meanwhile, nine heroes rise from the most unlikely places and even though they don't know it, their paths are set to cross and their destiny falls under the feet of the storm-seekers and the Phoenix itself.

[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.

Fated Shadows

5 parts Ongoing

Sequels to fated hearts The wind whispered through the ancient trees, carrying with it the echoes of a time long past. Deep within the heart of the forest, where no light penetrated and the shadows danced with a life of their own, a new prophecy was born. This prophecy, like the one before it, spoke of a pair of souls destined to change the course of history. But this time, the stakes were higher, the darkness deeper, and the fate of not just a village, but the entire world, hung in the balance. As the prophecy unfurled, a figure moved silently through the shadows, unseen and unknown. This figure had been watching, waiting, and now, with the emergence of a new threat, it was time to act. The battle for love and destiny was far from over, and the forces that had once been defeated were stirring again, more powerful and dangerous than before. The figure paused at the edge of a clearing, where the moonlight barely touched the ground, casting long, eerie shadows. The figure's eyes glowed with an unnatural light, a hint of the power that lay dormant within. This time, it would not be so easy to break the chains of fate. This time, love alone might not be enough. As the figure vanished into the night, a sense of foreboding settled over the forest. The world was on the brink of a new era, one where light and dark would clash once more, and only the strongest, most determined hearts would survive.
