Ever since Baba Yaga stole his sister, Neil of Ashwood has lived in the witch's shadow. On the night of his coming of age, he enters the Blackwood to claim vengeance-but instead of a monster, he finds a young woman with no memory of her past.
Naming her Anya, Neil is torn between the oath that drives him and the compassion she awakens. But blood charms, whispers in the dark, and Anya's own unraveling reveal that Baba Yaga's curse is far from broken.
When the darkness threatens to claim her, Neil must decide: strike her down as his village demands-or defy them all to save her.
In choosing love over vengeance, he may free them both... or doom Ashwood to the witch's shadow forever.

Magical Love: Short story (ENGLISH)
Synopsis: Zerhica grew up in a wealthy household where comfort was never a concern, but love and recognition always were. Despite having everything she could possibly need, all she ever longed for was her parents' approval. Constantly overshadowed by her two older sisters-both admired for their beauty and talent-Zerhica was always seen as the least impressive, the last choice in a family obsessed with perfection. Desperate to be seen and valued, she spent her life trying to please everyone around her, giving endlessly until she had nothing left to give. By the time she realized her worth had been stripped away piece by piece, it was already too late. Then one day, Zerhica wakes up and finds herself back in the past-staring at her 17-year-old reflection in the mirror, in the very room she once called home.

Lady of Ashes
Chapter 00: "The Awakening" The rain poured relentlessly down on the gray streets. Maria Davis, twenty-five years old, hurried along under her broken umbrella. Her hair was a mess, her simple work clothes were wet and torn, and her eyes burned with exhaustion. It was always the same: go, work, live for others. Her family barely even looked at her unless it was to sacrifice her for her sister. She had studied and worked for years so her sister wouldn't have to struggle. But tonight... everything changed. Suddenly, the blinding light of a car's headlights hit her eyes. SCREECH! BANG! Her body went numb. In the darkness, she thought it was over. But a strange voice, like the whisper of the wind, echoed in her ear: "Do you want to live?" Her heart beat faster. She didn't want to give up like this. With all her might, she screamed: "Yes! Let me live! I promise this time, I'll be for myself!" A white light engulfed everything. When she opened her eyes, she was no longer Maria. In the mirror, the face of Elina Blackwood-the villain from a story she had just read-stared back at her: shining silver hair, a luxurious, ornate dress, and eyes filled with pride. The opulent room spun around her. She screamed in horror: "What is going on here?!!!" And silence... only silence. Her new life, in the body of a villain, had begun.
