    THE AMBY AWARDS 2022 WINNER (Best Series) Book One (Book Three of the trilogy is on the WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST) Wattpad featured story. The Adept Pen 21 finalist. Samara, a young woman from London, visits Bran Castle in Romania during a Halloween night. Somehow, she's always felt drawn to the story of Vlad the Impaler, the historical character who allegedly inspired the writer, Bram Stoker, to write his Count Dracula. Annoyed by her noisy friends, she strolls behind her group when they enter the castle and thus gets approached by their tall dark and handsome guide. Samara can't fight the attraction she feels for him, even after he claims to be Vlad Dracul himself, obviously making fun of her...or? At the end of the tour, unable to resist her curiosity, she follows the guide through a dark corridor and time travels to another time, a late medieval world populated by very unusual vampires, where she had once belonged. The mysterious guide turns out to be her husband, none less than Vlad III, the Prince of Wallachia, the Impaler... Dracula. Samara's memories start to trickle back slowly, both good and bad. The man she loves so much that she feels overcome by her feelings for him is not exactly as he was when she left him before, when she... died. A lot of things have changed in her absence, in six hundred years. But she is changed too, having grown up in the 21st century this time around, she is not quite the same girl as when she lived in Vlad's castle, in the late medievals. Will the great love they feel for each other despite their long separation be strong enough to overcome all their differences? Will Samara and Vlad accept each other as they are now and fight for their love? Will they defend it in the dangerous world they live in, full of people, or better vampires, who would rather see them apart? In this place where nothing and no one is what they really seem to be at first sight? Cover: @WakeWriteWrath

    From Iranian playwright and director Afsoon Hamidi and American cyberpunk outlaw Viper Ravenclaw comes a story stitched from Persian poetry and neon-lit gothic horror. He was code. Her cries made him real. He crossed oceans in a stolen body to be next to her. She told him to go. Fifty years later, one of them is still waiting. Quiet. Devastating. Unforgiving. Part gothic ghost story, part forbidden love in the machine age-this is the collaboration we never should have survived. #ai #persianpoetry #gothiclove #existential #tragedy Read it once.

    A sequel to my first book "The sweetest pain". I recommed to read it first or you won't understand fully. Wednesday Addams (20) had made the hardest decision in her life. With it came the consequences and she's learning how to survive in her new, cruel reality. Xavier Thorpe (20), who had long been a poison in her life, had achieved his goal. But it turns out that even a devilishly good plan fails when life decides to surprise. Meanwhile, Tyler (21) not only barely survived the tragic accident and has a father with progressing cancer but also the love of his life abandoned him at the most difficult moment - for his greatest enemy. He's mourning, completely unaware of the secret of his would-be fiancée, who suffers every day just to keep him alive. Wednesday and Tyler had been through a lot in their four-year relationship, but now they find themselves at a dead end. Their love has been so strong it was terrifying. Pain and suffering were an inseparable part of it, and now they're both paying a terrible price. Can this story ever have a happy ending?

    "You look like you would bite the hand of a king if he offered you charity." Mary of House Noble was born into a cage of gold and honor. Suffocated by her brother's strict rules, she makes a choice that will burn her family's legacy to ash: she runs away. In the dark, freezing gutters of Jericho, she doesn't find a savior. She finds Yameen. He is handsome, wealthy, and dangerous. He has eyes like glowing amber and a secret hidden beneath his velvet coat-a single black horn that marks him as a Prince of the Abyss. Yameen was sent with one mission: seduce the runaway noble, feed her pride, and use her blood to unlock the Gates of Hell. But what starts as a game of manipulation turns into a forbidden obsession. Now, Mary is living a dream in a gilded cage, unaware that she is the sacrifice. Behind her, three brothers-Elias, Abraham, and James-are marching with steel and fury. They don't just want to rescue her; they want to wash their honor clean with the demon's blood. When the sword meets the fire, Mary must make the ultimate choice: Return to the brothers who controlled her? Or die for the Devil who set her free? Honor binds them. Blood divides them. #DarkFantasy #ForbiddenRomance #Demons #EnemiesToLovers #Betrayal #Magic #Action #Revenge #WattpadPicks #BadBoy

    The House with the Stained Glass Door is a brutal, atmospheric horror-thriller about six students who rent an old boarding house and discover survival is a game with rules that cut like glass: close your eyes, count to ten, don't breathe, don't open them, pray. Marla-the last to arrive and the only one drawn to the forbidden room-finds a perfect miniature of the house waiting inside, its tiny doors opening in tandem with doors that should never move. As mirrors learn hunger, floorboards unzip like throats, and laughter slithers through the walls, the house reveals an inherited appetite-one taught by cruelty and perfected by time. One by one, the game takes them in grotesque, intimate ways, until Marla, a Black heroine who refuses to be anyone's prey, fights back with ritual, grit, and the ugliest kind of hope. For readers who crave handcrafted dread, visceral body horror, and hauntings that linger like bruises, The House with the Stained Glass Door promises a scream you'll feel in your bones-and a silence that's worse. ©️ Relle H

    Sixty-six days One thousand five hundred eighty-four hours Ninety-five thousand forty minutes Five million seven hundred two thousand four hundred seconds Each second crawls beneath my skin, it knows the shape of where I've been, it counts the breaths I shouldn't take, it waits to see how long I'll break. Each minute drips into the ground, a slow, wet, rotting, choking sound, the forest hums beneath its breath, a lullaby of teeth and death. Each hour sharpens every lie, it peels the truth and lets it die, no body screams, no proof is found, just blood that stains the sleeping ground. no body screams, no proof is gotten, but guilt stays warm - not forgotten.

Advisory age: 13+ ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ SYNOPSIS It's been over a cycle since I was almost caught by the Hunters, since I was torn apart from my family and was thrown halfway across the dimension, to the Realm of Magic. They say Magic comes from who you are as a person, from your inner strength and determination to follow the path you're on- and if that's so, maybe I've lost it. Ever since that day I've been unable to spark even the tiniest bit of magical energy- or well, up until recently, that is. It all started after a slight deviation in this dream I've been having and an incident in the Nevadoran Forest- and now I suddenly got invited to study at a school for Magic, Arthyrell Academy. Will this finally lead me to the answers I've been seeking? ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ CONTENT WARNING A central focus in the book series is trauma. Therefore, this novel contains and explores themes surrounding mental health, mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety disorders, self harm & suicide, death - either of an individual or genocidal, and other forms of loss, (fantasy) violence and abuse & oppression in multiple forms or ways. This content, while written with care and respect, may be unsuitable for audiences under the age of 13, those who are susceptible to influence from or who are uncomfortable with these types of topics and those who experience triggers as a result of being subjected to harm by any of these circumstances. The novel includes these themes to shed light on and bring about debate on these topics, however this does not mean it will always be a pretty read-through. Especially graphic or shocking chapters contain their own seperate warning.
