He was born to kill. She was sent to destroy him. Atlas Alston, once the Vampire King’s favorite puppet, is now his greatest liability. Hunted like prey and haunted by a past soaked in blood, Atlas would rather burn the world to the ground than return to his master’s chains. Luna Rowe had all but given up on ever seeing the sun again. But when Victor Matthias, vampire royalty and sadistic puppet master, offers her freedom in exchange for one kill, she makes a deadly bargain. Find the rogue vampire. End him. Or die trying. But Atlas isn’t the monster she expected. He’s scarred, dangerous and devastatingly human beneath the fangs. With every shared secret, every near-death escape, Luna begins to question who the real threat is- the vampire before her, or the one promising her freedom. Torn between a duty she never wanted and a desire she can’t deny, Luna must make a choice: betray the man who sees her for who she really is, or watch the only hope for vengeance slip through her fingers. Twisted loyalties. Undeniable chemistry. And a darkness that hungers for more.

***SERIES COMPLETE IN 2026*** Scorching slow burns. Sharp-tongued royals. Feral tension. Morally gray elves. Fated bonds. Ruinous magic. No chosen ones. She was never meant to rule. A half-breed princess ripped from her throne and forced into a brutal military academy—where a shadow-wielding commander targets her the moment she arrives. He was never meant to be free. A healer shackled to a system built to break him—until the pain becomes too much, and survival starts to look a lot like surrender. He was never meant to survive. A villain harboring secrets of the realm’s forgotten magic—willing to raze kingdoms to save his own. A thousand years ago, elves colonized humans, reducing them to labor and breeding stock. Now, their magic is failing, their bloodlines sterile, their legacy unraveling. Jassyn, an elven half-breed, has spent his life trapped between roles—brilliant researcher of the fertility crisis, and an unwilling contributor to its solution. His body is property. His mind, weaponized. When he’s sent to a human realm to “tutor” a half-breed princess, it feels like a temporary reprieve. Until he learns the truth behind the assignment. Serenna, Jassyn's new pupil, has spent her life clawing toward a single goal—elevation into the elven courts. But after her twenty-fifth birthday, everything fractures. A monstrous race emerges from the shadows, shattering the lies she was raised to believe. Half-breeds like her and Jassyn aren’t powerless. They were bred for magic and war. Instead of a throne, she’s conscripted to a military academy where half-breeds are forged into weapons. Her survival depends on awakening her magic, enduring the training, and resisting the relentless gaze of its commander: Prince Vesryn, a shadow-wielding prince with too many secrets, too much power, and a tongue that cuts sharper than his blades. With war looming, Serenna must rise while Vesryn’s attention shifts from threat to fixation. But as Jassyn fights to protect her from the prince’s influence, his own chains tighten. And the path he takes may destroy more than just himself.

She’s chaos and sparks. He’s calm carved from stone. Now he’s burning for her—and the flames refuse to be tamed. Lyra Wilder has a fire problem —literally and emotionally. As a volatile fire witch with a reputation of leaving scorch marks wherever she goes, she’s one magical mishap away from being expelled from Coven Crest Academy. When she’s sentenced to a year of community service with the academy’s stoic, reclusive groundskeeper, she expects misery and manual labor. She doesn’t expect Cairn: a brooding minotaur with soil-stained hands, quiet strength, and a soul more deeply rooted than the gardens he tends. Cairn Axton has kept his world small and quiet for a reason. He doesn’t need chaos. He doesn’t need fire.
