    Trapped in the Sovereign's Sin A modern girl. An ancient dark romance novel. A ruthless villain who refuses to let her go. When Mina unexpectedly gets pulled inside the brutal historical novel she was reading, she finds herself trapped not as a revered princess, but as a low-born, helpless palace maid (dasi) in the menacing realm of Vyomgarh. Forced to serve the kingdom's terrifying Sovereign Maharaj Aviraj Singh Suryavanshi, the novel's dark, unhinged villain Mina tries everything to stay invisible and escape back to her modern reality. But her bold, 21st-century defiance, fierce slaps, and refusal to bow down only ignite a dangerous, psychotic obsession inside him. Driven mad by a fierce desire to possess her, Aviraj demands the ultimate surrender: become his royal mistress (rakhail) and live in his golden cage forever. Trapped between his terrifying dark love, relentless pursuit, and her own burning need for freedom, Mina must play a high-stakes game of survival against the very demon who will burn the world down just to claim her. #1 timetravel #1 historicalromance #1 gothicromance #14 wattpadindia #1 wattpadfanfiction

Memories that aren't hers rise like smoke. She's not just the key to breaking the curse. She's his love, returned.

    "Vi... Viaan, please don't do this.. don't leave me, please come back. It's our wedding day. Plea...please I'm begging you." "Do not ever call me again, Ira. It's over between us." The line went dead. That was all it took for him to left me at the Altar for her. *** ~ A REBIRTH STORY From childhood, Ira Veyansh was always compared to Niya Kapadia. Niya ~ the maid's daughter who could do everything better. Studies, sports, looks, manners, obedience, everything. Everyone loved Niya. Ira parents, her brothers, even the family celebrated her like she was one of their own. Birthdays, dinners, small achievements... the praise always went to Niya. "Ira, you should be more like Niya." "I wish Niya was my sister." "Take a lesson from Niya." Day by day, Ira felt invisible. Starved for love and attention, she did things she shouldn't have, hurt Niya, humiliated her, even darker. But nothing worked. Then came Viaan. Her childhood love. The one she thought would finally make her happy. But he chose Niya too. The pain and humiliation were too much for her to handle. That night, walking alone in the rain after being abandoned at her own wedding, Ira was hit by a truck. A brutal accident that ended her life. But life gave her a second chance. A rebirth. She remembered everything. Every insult. Every betrayal. Every heartbreak. And somewhere in that second life... there is this man. Reevan. A man she was never meant to cross paths with. Forbidden. Yet somehow... tied to her fate. Now, the question is, will she let fate repeat itself, or will she change her story?

    Elara Veyne has always found comfort in the past. As a history major, she spends her ordinary days surrounded by ancient manuscripts, forgotten civilizations, and the remnants of people who disappeared centuries before she was born. But when Elara sleeps, history becomes something far more personal. Since her eighteenth birthday, recurring dreams have carried her into lives she has never lived, through unfamiliar centuries that somehow feel like home. She remembers places she has never visited, knows people she has never met, and wakes carrying emotions and memories that refuse to fade with the morning. And somewhere within those dreams, he is always there. A devastatingly beautiful stranger with an unsettling presence and a face Elara cannot forget, watching her as though he has been searching for her across centuries. She doesn't know his name, why he appears throughout her dreams, or why looking at him leaves her with the impossible feeling that some forgotten part of her already knows him. Then an ancient mark begins appearing beneath her skin, the symbols from her dreams begin surfacing in the history she studies, and the boundary between memory and nightmare starts to disappear. When the beautiful stranger finally appears in Elara's waking world, everything she believes about history, memory, and her own existence begins to unravel. And something buried beneath centuries of forgotten lives is beginning to wake. Some memories survive death. Some bonds survive time. And some awakenings cannot be stopped once they begin

    Sebastian St. James arrives in Paris with a future already waiting for him. Young, aristocratic, and betrothed, he has spent his life knowing exactly what is expected of him. His stay in Paris should be nothing more than another temporary stop to escape the growing scandals from his hometown. Then, in the quiet halls of a Parisian hotel, he meets a stranger. One encounter becomes companionship. A conversation becomes friendship. And before Sebastian understands what is happening, the man he never expected to meet has become the one person he cannot imagine leaving behind. Together, they leave Paris by train for the French Riviera. Their journey takes them through the countryside and into fields of lavender and along breathtaking seasides, where the world seems to slow down long enough for them to forget who they are supposed to be. Away from their families, their obligations, and the eyes of society, they find something neither of them was searching for. Each other. But every journey has an ending. And for Sebastian, the hardest part will not be falling in love-it will be discovering what the world intends to take from him. Some seasons are brief. Some loves are forbidden. And some are simply impossible to forget.

    THE DEVIL'S SCHOLARSHIP Blackthorne University doesn't accept students. It collects them. Every year, ten scholarships are offered to the most brilliant young minds in the kingdom. Every year, at least one student dies. Elara Vale has spent her entire life being told that magic doesn't exist. So when she receives a scholarship to Blackthorne University-the most prestigious and secretive academy in the kingdom-she assumes her biggest problem will be surviving among the children of powerful families. She is wrong. Because Blackthorne doesn't teach ordinary magic. It teaches the kind that was buried for a reason. And someone has already written Elara's name into a book that hasn't been opened in eighteen years. Then there's Cassian Vey. The university's golden boy. First in every class. Untouchable. Beautiful enough to be dangerous and cruel enough to prove it. He hates Elara from the moment he sees her. At least, that's what he wants her to believe. When a forbidden ritual goes wrong and binds their magic together, Elara discovers the truth: Cassian isn't trying to destroy her. He's trying to keep her alive. Because beneath Blackthorne University is a secret older than the kingdom itself. And whatever is sleeping beneath the school... knows Elara's name. Some scholarships come with a future. Hers came with a death sentence.
