Lin Wu casually earned a few billion, wiped out a team of mercenaries with her bare hands, completed an experiment at an international research institute, and incidentally saved someone, after which she politely thanked them. Her family watched as her secret identities had yet to be fully revealed: !!!

The multitude of subordinates following behind all covered their faces: Boss, where's your dignity?!

The negotiating rule in the packs was simple. You give what you took. The war and animosity between the Nightshade and Moonstone pack have been ongoing for centuries. But this time something drastic happened. The Nightshade pack lost their Luna. To maintain peace in the werewolf world, the council arrived at only one solution, a Luna in exchange for a Luna. And that’s where I got into the picture. Astrid Brooks, 26 years old. A born princess. The only daughter of the 4 children of Moonstone’s Alpha. Married off as a peace offering to none other than Kael Knight, Alpha of Nightshade pack. A replacement to his late wife, his very mate, whose blood has still not dried from the hands of my father. From the life of a princess to a mere maid, from light to darkness and from being the most loved person to one detested with crazy passion. I became a mere replacement. And this was just the beginning of my story or should I say suffering.

Being the only human in a school full of supernatural beings is hard. But being fated to the son of the Alpha your father killed?

But when the peace treaty between hunters and supernaturals start to crack, she’s sent straight to the heart of danger— a school where everyone hates her and wants her dead. No one despises her more than Zane Wolfe Ravenscroft, her mate and the son of the Alpha her father murdered. And then there’s Caius Valerius, a vampire prince who should hate her just as much, only he doesn’t. And Lorien Feyrune, the Fae prince with a shattered heart and dangerous obsession. As Claire navigates the dangers of Carnemore and her complex relationships, more secrets about her father is revealed. Now, she must choose. Duty or desire? Family or fate? Love or survival? Because in Carnemore, secrets are deadlier than silver bullets. And some bonds were never meant to be broken. ************* Claire barely had time to catch her breath before Zane was in front of her, his golden eyes locked onto hers like a predator closing in on its prey. “Why are you all over the place with Caius?” He asked. Claire crossed her arms, forcing herself to hold his gaze. “Because he’s my friend,” she said, though the moment the words left her lips, she saw the way Zane’s jaw tensed. “Friend?” He took a step closer, the space between them shrinking to nothing. She swallowed. “Why do you care?” His lips curled into something that wasn’t quite a smile. “You can’t have friends.” Claire’s breath hitched. “Why?” Zane leaned in, his voice a whisper against her skin. “Because you’re mine.” Her stomach flipped, her nails digging into her palms. “You rejected me,” she reminded him, her throat tightening around the words. “You didn’t want me, remember?” “That doesn’t change anything.” Her heart pounded. “It changes everything.” He reached up, brushing his fingers against her jaw, tilting her chin so she couldn’t look away. “You don’t get it, do you?” His voice was softer now, but no less dangerous. “You’re my toy, Claire.” His thumb grazed her bottom lip, sending a shiver down her spine. “And I’m the only one who gets to play with you.” ************ This book is rated 18+.

I don’t remember being born. None of us do. We wake up at twenty, fully grown, with knowledge implanted in our minds, a communicator fused to our wrist, and a role already assigned. We don’t have childhoods. We have purpose. Or so they tell us. I was a Sparta operative, one of the enforcers of order in this world built from the ashes of war. The hard-fought war between species. A war long forgotten. My job was simple: track down illegal activity, eliminate threats, and keep the system stable. Stability, they said, was everything. But that illusion shattered the day I found him. A Zen Zero Clone. The original prototype. I understood one thing. Maybe everything we knew was not the truth. Maybe there was something which escaped our understanding…… The ones who lived in the Outer Worlds, where the radiation should have killed them, where the Council said no life could exist. The ones who had real children, not just another iteration of themselves, but something new. Something free. Now, I’m running. Chased by the very system I once protected. Hunted by the ones who erased my past and shaped my future. I’ve seen the truth, and they know it.

In the once-glorious kingdom of Aeloria, the Celestial Crown was a symbol of unity and peace, its power drawn from the five elemental forces of Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Spirit. But when the Obsidian King, a malevolent sorcerer, sought to claim the crown for himself, the kingdom was plunged into chaos. In a desperate act to save her people, Queen Seraphine shattered the crown into five fragments and used her life force to imprison the Obsidian King in the Void. The fragments were scattered across the realms, lost to time and legend. Centuries later, the seal on the Void begins to weaken, and the Obsidian King's dark influence seeps back into the world. Villages are plagued by shadowy creatures, and whispers of his return spread like wildfire.

Touching it awakens a latent power within him and sets him on a path he never imagined. - **Lyra**, a cunning rogue with a mysterious past, is drawn to Kael's quest after witnessing his fiery abilities. She seeks redemption for a life of thievery and betrayal. - **Thorne**, a disgraced knight haunted by his failures, joins the group to reclaim his honor and protect the innocent from the growing darkness.

As Kael and his companions grow closer to their goal, they realize that the fragments of the crown are not merely tools of power—they are tests of character.
