A Touch of Shadow: The Duke's Obsession

[Obsessive ML, Dark Historical Romance] On the night meant to seal her fate in silk and candlelight, Caelith Emberlyn discovers her new husband cheating on her with her own cousin. Before the humiliation can swallow her whole, another man steps out of the shadows—dangerous, powerful, and far more terrifying than heartbreak. He is the feared Commander of the Shadow Imperial Guard, a man whose name alone stills the court and stains the capital with silenced dread. Where others see a cold enforcer of the throne, he sees only her—wronged, furious, and far stronger than she appears. And he offers her a choice. Stay. What her husband failed to give—loyalty, devotion, power—he vows to place in her hands in his stead. But this is no gentle rescue. Their alliance begins in secrets and smolders in the dark, a forbidden affair that could shatter reputations and topple dynasties. He is ruthless in war and relentless in love, determined to claim not only her presence at his side but the guarded heart she refuses to yield. Meanwhile, her repentant husband returns with soft words and tender promises, swearing to cherish her forever. Yet regret comes too late in a world where power is currency and affection is a battlefield. Caught between a contrite prince of light and a possessive shadow king who would burn the world to keep her, she must decide: Will she return to the safety of a love that broke her… Or step into the fire of a devotion fierce enough to consume them both?

Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Flame Between

This is Book 2 of The Soulfire Chronicles. The Rise of the Flamebearer told the story of how I survived. This is the story of what it cost me. Alaric and Evelyne, my beloved husband and dear cousin, two people I trusted and loved, betrayed me with each other and had me burned alive. My mother sacrificed her life to bring me back before my execution date. I remembered every betrayal before it happened, and I used all of it. The affair. The stolen assets. The lies he told to keep me caged. I filed for divorce, gained the Empress's approval, and walked out of that marriage with fire in my blood and three awakening trials behind me. Alaric now sits under house arrest and under investigation. Duke Caelan Vorenthal was my husband's greatest rival. He was also my ally, my protector, and the man I never planned on wanting. I built something real with him while I was tearing my husband apart. Then news arrived of his demise. His unit destroyed. No survivors found. I don't get to fall apart. The wards protecting seventeen estates are failing, and my blood is the only thing that can hold them. Eight months to stabilize everything and reach the final trial. If I fail, the collapse begins and it won't stop. Something bigger has been moving behind all of this. I can feel it. I just can't name it yet. Here comes Crown Prince Thalion. He thinks I'm dangerous, said so to my face, and now he's assigned as my escort because he doesn't trust anyone else to do it. Eight months with this man's eyes on my every move. He wasn't supposed to be part of this. He's becoming something I didn't plan for, and the way he looks at me when he thinks I can't see it is becoming harder to ignore. I was bred to obey. I burned. I came back. And I'm not finished. Regression | Enemies-to-Lovers | Forced Proximity | Slow Burn | Political Intrigue | R18

The Alpha’s Unclaimed Mate

Her blood was liquid gold. The moment it hit the basin, the scent slammed into Prince Dexmon like a charging bull.  A primal urge to mate with her followed, obliterating any concern for timing, place, or consequence.  His heart thundered, caught somewhere between hunger and outright panic. His wolf surged.  Aegon: Mate her. Mate her again. Mark her. In that order.  Dexmon: Absolutely the fuck not.  It took every ounce of control he possessed to hold back.  Meanwhile, she stood there, calm, oblivious to him coming apart at the seams.  The Moon Goddess, it seemed, truly had a twisted sense of humor.   ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦ [Synopsis] Mate. He knows it instantly. She has no idea. After a year in silver chains, Serena Silverveil's wolf is silent. She escaped Viremont with nothing — no pack, no title, no wolf. Just a sharp mind, a lethal wit, and a refusal to die. A stranger saves her life. She returns the favor without knowing he's the Crown Prince of Drakenfell. But Dexmon is betrothed to Princess Agnes — the daughter of the very tyrant who kept Serena collared. So he stays silent. Agnes will stop at nothing to keep him. Murder, poisonings, dark magic, abductions, and starting a literal war. She ensures everyone in Drakenfell believes Serena is a whore and illiterate. Serena enters the royal ball on another man's arm, wearing the boldest gown in Drakenfell. Dexmon's restraint snaps. But he's not the only one watching. Fin Shadowclaw, the youngest and most powerful Alpha King in Skardos also hears "Mate" when he sees Serena. He marks her. Dexmon's wolf shoves him off and marks over his mark. Two rival Alpha Kings. One mark. And a woman who already had her heart destroyed, now torn between them. Love triangles don't usually involve mass murder. ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦ Content Warning: This novel contains dark themes, dubcon, abuse, smut, explicit scenes, and morally gray characters.

System Monarch

The story follows Kael Draven, a young hunter whose life changes forever when he awakens a mysterious System—a dynamic, game-like interface that evolves with him, unlocks new abilities, and allows him to create and command sentient entities. In this world, monsters have lived alongside humans since the dawn of civilization, inhabiting forests, ruins, and dangerous dungeons. Among the most deadly are the Dimensional Gates, portals created and ruled by powerful monsters. These gates are strictly controlled by the Government Hunters, and only National and International-ranked hunters are allowed to enter. Any private guild or low-rank hunter attempting entry faces certain death. • Hunters are ranked according to skill and capability: E-Rank: Novices, able to clear low-tier dungeons and fight small monsters. D-Rank: Official hunters, capable of handling medium dungeons and stronger monsters threatening local populations. C-Rank: Mid-tier hunters, leading parties into high-level dungeons, confronting elite monsters and bosses. B-Rank: High-tier hunters, able to clear advanced dungeons solo or with small teams, facing dangerous monsters that threaten regions. A-Rank: Veteran hunters, capable of S-rank dungeons, controlling strategy and coordinating elite teams against the strongest dungeon threats. S-Rank: Elite hunters, entering the most dangerous dungeons before Dimensional Gates come into play, handling city-level or massive monster threats. National Hunters: Authorized to enter Dimensional Gates, defend nations from catastrophic monsters, and control large-scale operations. International Hunters: The highest authority, commanding global operations, elite teams, and facing monster rulers inside two Dimensional Gates collision. Origin Monarch Authority [ Kael Draven] 1. Transcendental Presence : Kael exists in the "Realm of Origin"—the space before and after existence. 2. Dimensional Erasure: He doesn't just "bypass" dimensions; he is the dimension. He can delete a universe's laws of physics and replace them with his own whims. The Outer-God Slayer: Kael can look into the "Madness" of Outer Gods without blinking. To him, they are just complex energy patterns waiting to be harvested and synthesized. 3. Ultimate Entity Manipulation: Kael no longer needs physical materials to create his army. 4. Abstract Grafting: He can scan "Concepts" like Death, Infinity, or Silence and merge them. Example: He could merge the "Concept of Inevitability" with a "Shattered Star" to create a General that can never be avoided or destroyed by any being below his tier. Loyal Divinity: His entities are effectively "Lesser Creators." Each one is capable of managing entire multiverse on Kael's behalf. 5. Origin Authority: Kael is equal to the "Ultimate Source" who created the Rulers and Monarchs. 6. Brutal Force over Infinity: His "Brutal Force" is now Metaphysical Impact. A single strike doesn't just hit a body; it hits the "Idea" of the existence of the opponent to delete him from the existence. 7. Absolute Immortality: Kael is a Non-Dual Being. He is beyond the concepts of "Existence" and "Non-Existence as the Origin Monarch. 8. System Transcendence: The System is no longer his master; it is his interface. If he "dies," he simply manifests a new version of himself because he is the Source from which all life flows. He is essentially "un-killable" because there is no concept powerful enough to define his end.
