A thousand years after the world burned, four kingdoms rose from the ashes-ruled by immortal monarchs and guarded by shadows, fire, and blood. Venya has spent her life on the run, hiding what she is: a Grim. Monsters like her are executed without mercy. Branded dangerous, haunted by a violent past, and bound by magic that cannot hold forever, she knows survival is only temporary. When she is captured and thrown into the heart of the Dark Kingdoms, Venya finds herself entangled in a deadly game of power, betrayal, and forbidden desire. The rulers of this world would see her destroyed, yet the King of Death sees something else in her-a weapon... or a weakness. As war brews and loyalty is tested, Venya must decide: Will she embrace the darkness within her? Or will she fight to prove that monsters can choose their own fate? Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, slow-burn romance, and morally gray characters-Dance of the Damned will pull you into a world where love is dangerous, survival is bloody, and destiny is damning.

The Queen
COMPLETE She was never meant to be queen. She was never meant to fall in love with the king. And she was never meant to survive the price of both.

As enemies rise within the court and the crown grows heavier, one truth becomes painfully clear: love doesn't come without casualties. The king made a choice. And now, so will she. A tale of love and vengeance, loyalty and loss, and the slow unraveling of a kingdom where power is everything-and love might be the most dangerous power of all. © MaryRose 2018.

King Henry
Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.

The Shadowed Queen
In a kingdom where beauty and power dictate worth, Princess Evelyne has always been the forgotten one. Overshadowed by her radiant sisters, dismissed by her own family, and treated as nothing more than an afterthought, she has learned to live in the shadows-silent, invisible, and aching for something more. But when the feared and ruthless Dark King arrives to choose a bride, no one expects him to spare Evelyne a second glance. He is a man of legend-shrouded in mystery, draped in power, and said to have a heart as cold as the night itself. The court watches, breathless, as he surveys the dazzling princesses before him. And then, he chooses her. Whispers ripple through the halls. Shock turns to outrage. Why would the Dark King-a man who could have anyone-claim the overlooked, unwanted daughter? But as Evelyne is whisked away to his shadowed kingdom, she begins to uncover the truth. The Dark King sees what no one else ever has-her strength, her resilience, the fire beneath the quiet. And in his arms, beneath the weight of his intense gaze, Evelyne is no longer invisible. She is his. But as darkness looms and enemies gather, Evelyne must decide-will she forever remain the forgotten princess, or will she rise as the Dark Queen, feared and revered beside the man who saw her worth when no one else did?
