revenge

Clara Vance had it all. Millions of followers, a beauty empire built on glamour, and a life curated for the camera. But a lost bet with her mother sends her away from a marvelous weekend trip to Mykonos and into the dusty attic of her family’s decaying ancestral manor. The catch was her inheritance. Her task? A dreary clear-out. Her discovery? A centuries-old diary belonging to her great-grandmother, Eleanor Thorne. The ink tells a story of a forgotten history. Eleanor’s forbidden obsession with her guardian and step-uncle, Casimir Guggenheim, a ruthless railroad tycoon with a heart of stone. But when Clara touches the tear-stained pages, the scent of crushed gardenias doesn’t just fill the room, it drags her back to 1879. Trapped in Eleanor’s corseted body, Clara finds herself under the roof of the very man who haunted the diary. To the world, Casimir is a cold, untouchable magnate. To Clara, he’s a puzzle she’s determined to break. The problem? Clara isn’t the timid, fragile girl Casimir remembers. She’s a 21st-century It Girl with no filter, a strategic mind for business, a total lack of respect for Gilded Age propriety and a defiance waiting for trouble to happen. While the original Eleanor was a victim of her station, Clara is ready to burn the cage down. As Clara navigates a world where a single misstep means ruin, scheming relatives see her as a pawn, and a powerful suitor sees her as nothing but a business merger. She realizes the history books were wrong. Rewriting Eleanor’s tragic end is dangerous, especially when she starts falling for the man she was never supposed to have. History says they’re a tragedy. Clara says history is about to get a makeover.

In the era of the Old World, there walked women who did not merely cast magic, but breathed life into the world. They were the weavers of Black Magic, more commonly known as Witches. For thousands of years, the earth has been barren of them. For a Witch is not born, she is wrought. The scholars of the Old World claimed three conditions unlock this forbidden power: First, there must be the Drowning of the Heart. The woman must be pushed past the breaking point of human sorrow. Grief must become the water that drowns her humanity. Second, there must be the Sharpening of the Will. Hate must become the steel of her spine. She must choose not to weep, but to burn. Third, and most rare, there must be the Anchor of the Beast. A Witch without a tether is but a storm that consumes itself. She requires a devotion that rivals her own: a dragon who would trade his divinity to stand in the shadow of her thorns. When these three tides collide, the Mage dies, and the Witch awakens. It is said that when the Witch returns, the mountains will breathe again. The dead woods will scream, and the kingdoms of men will be reclaimed by a garden that never sleeps.

Reader discretion is strongly advised.] "They took everything from me. My family. My freedom. My humanity. They broke my body, tortured my soul, and threw me away like garbage. But they made one mistake. They didn't finish the job." When the Apocalypse transformed Earth fifty years ago, mana flooded the world, monsters rose from the depths, and humanity discovered superpowers. But for sixteen-year-old Kaelyn Hayes, powers never came. Born from a bloodline carrying the legendary Ageless Physique—a gift from their ancient Dhampir ancestor—Kael watched his parents murdered before his eyes. His siblings dead. Himself, captured by the Whitmore family—one of the powerful houses that orchestrated his parents' deaths—Kael became nothing more than a lab rat, a plaything, a slave. For five years, Morgan Whitmore—the sadistic heiress obsessed with immortality—tortured him. Beatings. Starvation. Humiliation. Experiments that pushed his body to the breaking point. She made him crawl, made him beg, made him serve every twisted desire her mind could conceive. And through it all, Kael endured, surviving on nothing but hate. Then came the pain tolerance experiments. The chair. The machine that dialed agony to one hundred percent. They killed him. But death was not the end. Deep within Kael's broken body, a dormant bloodline stirred—the ancient Ouroboros lineage, a fragment of something far darker than the Ageless Physique. And with it came a System unlike any other: THE DEVOURER. Now Kael rises from the trash heap where they threw his corpse, awakened at last with powers that should not exist. Powers that let him consume others—their abilities, their bloodlines, their very essence. With a 30% chance to steal any superpower he devours, Kael will hunt those who wronged him. The Whitmore family. The Hart family that destroyed his parents. Every scientist who experimented on him. Every person who watched and did nothing. But revenge is only the beginning. In a world where S-rankers rule like gods, where inheritance grounds hide ancient secrets, where humanity has spread across the solar system and made Earth one of the most powerful planets in two galaxies—Kael Hayes will rise not as a hero, but as something far more terrifying. A monster forged by monsters. A villain who will devour them all. In a world of S-rank heroes, SSS-rank myths, and cosmic powers beyond imagination—the greatest threat to humanity isn't the monsters in the dungeons. It's the broken boy they threw away.

"I spent three years being the perfect, submissive wife. Now, I’m going to spend the rest of my life being your worst nightmare." For three years, Vivienne was the "Beggar of the West Mansion." She endured her mother-in-law’s slaps, the family’s mockery, and Roman’s silent cruelty—a cowardice born from weakness, not power. To the world, she was a “penniless leech” living off his charity. To Roman, she was a girl from the slums who should be grateful for his name. When Roman finally hands her a divorce decree to clear the way for his merger with a Sinclair heiress, she thinks she’s finally free.

She doesn't come back to beg; she comes back to destroy. Beside her, standing possessively at her back, is Lucien Hamilton, the most dangerous and powerful man on the planet. The hunt is on. The masks are off. And the West family is about to find out that the “penniless” girl they mocked... actually owns them all. When the CEO finally realizes who she really is… will he regret losing her, or regret crossing her? ~~~ “Vivienne? But… you’re dead. We had a funeral!” Roman stammered, his face drained of color as he looked at the woman draped in trillion-dollar diamonds. “You buried a girl who didn’t know her own power, Roman,” Vivienne said, her voice like shards of ice. “Check the markets. I’ve already lit the fire that will burn your empire to ash.” Roman fell to his knees, reaching for the hem of her gown. “Vivienne, please! I was blinded... I’ll make it right. I still love you!” Lucien Hamilton stepped forward, his hand on Vivienne’s waist as he stared down at Roman. “Touch her again, West, and I won’t just ruin you. I’ll make sure you lose your life along with everything you own.”

WARNING!!! -Explicit and Dark Romance- For years after Livana lost her sight, she lived in the gilded cage of her family’s expectations—engaged to the man chosen for her, confined to the shadows while he managed the empire her mother left behind. But blindness didn’t make her powerless. She heard everything. The whispers in the other room. The treachery in her fiancé’s voice. The betrayal woven into every conversation with her cousin, all caught by the devices she secretly planted. She had a plan to escape—one she’d crafted meticulously. Until her sister proposed something far more dangerous. Involve the Blackwells. Their family’s most hated rivals. The ones Livana had been raised to despise. And the man her sister suggested? *Damon Blackwell.* The arrogant bastard who had tormented her since childhood. The same man she’d once—*against her better judgment*—ended up in bed with after being drugged and set up. The idea was reckless. Madness. But the thought of burning her engagement to Knox to the ground, of watching her father and stepmother’s fury as she tied herself to their enemy? Delicious. What she didn’t expect was Damon’s obsession. He was ruthless. Unhinged. Exactly what she should have anticipated from the heir to the Blackwell mafia. But Livana was no damsel. If he thought he could control her, he was wrong. She had her own games to play. And this time, she wouldn’t be the one losing.
