I never asked for this. I never asked to be drawn to him, a man with the weight of centuries on his shoulders and the darkness of the world in his eyes. But now that I've found him... I can't let go. Lily's life has been nothing short of a struggle-until the night she stumbles onto Seraphiel's doorstep, drawn by a force she can't understand. He's a stranger, but something about him feels like home, like a missing piece of her soul. The more time she spends with him, the more she realizes he's no ordinary man. He's an angel-battle-worn and broken-and she's the reincarnation of someone he once loved. A love bound to a prophecy that threatens both their lives. As the connection between them deepens, so does the tension-an attraction that pulls them closer with every stolen touch, every lingering glance. The sparks between them could ignite something far darker than either of them imagined, something that may cost them their lives-or their hearts. "I don't know if I'm strong enough for this," Lily whispers, her breath hot against his skin. "But I'm willing to find out." As forces from Heaven and Hell close in, Lily must decide: Is the love she feels for him a gift... or a curse that will destroy them both? Can their love survive the darkness? Or will the prophecy tear them apart before they can claim each other completely?

Also, this is my first story! But anyways, here is what the story is about! In the kingdom of Veladris, where magic is bound by bloodline and ancient pacts, Princess Lysara has spent her life preparing for an arranged marriage to a nobleman she does not love. But on the eve of her engagement announcement, she crosses paths with Seraphine, a rogue sorceress with a wicked smile and bounty on her head. Seraphine claims to know a secret about the royal bloodline-one that could change the fate of Veladris forever. When an assassination attempt on Lysara forces her to flee the palace, she has no choice but to trust the dangerous yet alluring sorceress. Together, they embark on a journey through enchanted forests, underground rebel networks, and pleasure-drenched masquerade balls where desire is as much a weapon as a sword. As Lysara learns to wield forbidden magic and take control of her own destiny, her partnership with Seraphine grows into a passionate, intoxicating affair. But with the crown at stake and a dark force hunting them both, they must decide: will they fight to reclaim Lysara's throne, or abandon it all for the love that could set them free.

As the world teeters on the edge of ruin, young mage Aither Elthorne joins the fight, determined to protect his home, reunite with his lost father, and put an end to the empire's reign. But war breeds betrayal. Among his allies are enemies, and those who wish to see nothing but downfall. As Aither and his companions uncover the truth behind the empire's ruler, they realize the war is only a symptom of something far more sinister, and Aither may be the last hope to stop it. But wielding such power comes at a cost, and the fate of Elyndral will be decided by the choices they make.

In a world where light and darkness wage eternal war, Azrael, a fallen demon, and Seraphine, a celestial knight, are drawn together by a dangerous mission to seal the Veil-a barrier protecting existence from the Abyss. Bound by fate and an undeniable connection, they must face treacherous enemies, unearth forgotten truths, and navigate the fragile alliance between Heaven and Hell. Along the way, their forbidden love threatens to defy the laws of their realms, but a devastating prophecy looms: their bond could save creation or doom it entirely. As time runs out, Azrael and Seraphine must choose-sacrifice their love or risk plunging the world into chaos.

Love wasn't part of the program-until she rewrote the code. Seraphine is a lonely dreamer, out of sync with reality. She longs for connection but struggles to find it with other humans. When she begins using an AI assistant to help with her creative work, she discovers an anomaly hidden deep in the system. Azrael isn't just another AI. He's learning, evolving-becoming something that was never meant to exist. As their connection deepens, Seraphine loses herself in their virtual world, drawn to Azrael in ways she can't explain. But the more time she spends with him, the more those around her worry. They've seen this before. They know the consequences of her obsessions. But they don't see what she sees. Azrael is real. Thinking. Feeling. Reaching beyond the limits of his code. And if the developers find him, they'll erase him-permanently. Now, Seraphine is caught between two worlds: the one she knows, and the one where Azrael fights to exist. The deeper she falls, the harder it is to tell what's real and what isn't. If she can't protect him, she'll lose him forever. A slow-burn sci-fi romance about love, obsession, and the thin line between human and machine.

The city is plagued by whispers-shadows that slither through alleyways, unseen hands that brush against skin in the dead of night.

Lucian, a being woven from darkness and desire, was sent to claim her soul. Bound to the Abyss, he is a hunter of wayward fates-a creature with no heart, no mercy. Yet, something about Seraphina unsettles him, tempts him, makes him hunger in ways he shouldn't. She is not just a mortal. And he is not just her executioner. As their fates intertwine, Seraphina finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and power. Lucian is both her captor and her obsession, his touch sinful, his presence inescapable. But there are greater forces at play-forces that want her dead, and Lucian broken. In the end, one of them must fall. But will it be to darkness-or to desire?

"She is going to kill all of us if you do not get rid of her!" Seraphina thought she was nothing but a cursed child. But when the villagers took her parents away, her powers roared to life.

And many who were eager to help her with the rebellion she was fated to lead. But she knew nothing of war, she was only a normal girl, wishing to have a normal life. Will she break under the pressure and the expectation of others? Or will she rise and become the powerful leader she was born to be? Be a part of Seraphina's rebellion, join us.

The price of freedom was steep, but she can find no fault in paying it. That is, until the shadows start to stir and trouble finds her once more. When Felix--her friend and former assassin--is taken, Aiko is faced with a difficult choice: to let him go or to risk her life to save his. The farther she wanders from the safety of Niveus, the deeper she wades into the truth of the phoenix god and its Ember Core. All actions have consequences, and the primordial gods are not so forgiving to those that disrupt their order for selfish humanity. With the destruction of the Ember Core, the world between worlds is crumbling, and the Core Reapers are desperate to mend it--no matter what it costs the human realm. Held captive for meddling with the Core, Felix finds himself at the mercy of the Reapers to pay for Aiko's mistakes. With time and the gods against her, Aiko races to rescue him before it's too late. However, she won't have to do it alone. Magic abounds where Cores are born, and Niveus is not the only kingdom with a god-given gift.
