Evil Crown

Dark Fantasy Romance | Betrayal, Dragons, Slow-Burn Tension “He wanted a servant with a sharp tongue. He got a girl who knows how to use it.” When Arin is dragged from her burning village in chains, accused of a legacy she doesn’t understand, she expects to die. Instead, she’s thrown into the deadly glitter of the Kaerethyne court—where dragons decide who rules, every silk-draped noble is a liar, and the Prince who ordered her capture is infamous for leaving lovers broken… or dead. Prince Caldan Kaerythene—scarred, exiled by his own dragon, and haunted by betrayal—wants one thing: to expose the traitor among his blood-soaked kin. For that, he needs a weapon. A girl no one would suspect. What he gets is Arin. A thief with secrets in her blood. A commoner with teeth. And a mind sharp enough to make princes bleed. She was never meant to survive the palace. He was never meant to want her. But in a kingdom ruled by dragons, fire doesn’t kneel. It devours. Enemies-to-lovers. A court of monsters. A chained dragon who judges with smoke instead of flame. And a girl too dangerous to kill, too clever to cage. The crown didn’t steal her. It tried to break her. But she came to win. Perfect for fans of House of the Dragon, Throne of Glass, and dark fantasy with bite. This is a slow-burn romantic epic filled with venomous nobles, ancient secrets, and jaw-dropping betrayals. Read at your own risk. The flames are watching.

They left me to die. But this world had other plans. When our deep-space expedition crashed on a hostile alien planet, I thought the survivors would stick together. I was wrong. The moment the beasts came, my crew threw me to them—used me as bait to save themselves. I should’ve died out there. But death never came. Rescued by the native tribes who walk through ash and fire, I awoke in a world of primal gods, ancestral trials, and secrets buried in the soil. They didn’t know what I was—or what I could become. Neither did I. With broken tech, buried knowledge, and fire in my blood, I rose. And as I carved out a new place among these people, I asked myself: If I can lead them... should I? If those who betrayed me return... will I show mercy—or burn them to ash? In this world, survival is earned. And I was abandoned—so I will rise.

Title: Scarlet Stormborne Genre: Fantasy Romance | High School | Supernatural Mystery Scarlet Stormborne doesn't belong at Crescent Hollow Academy, and everyone knows it the moment she walks in. Dressed in a forbidden scarlet uniform, with hair too white and eyes too deep, she is an anomaly in a school built on bloodlines, power ranks, and control. Crescent Hollow isn't just any school—it's the top supernatural academy in the world, where only the elite among witches, wolves, and shifters are invited, and where hierarchy is not just practiced—it's enforced. Students are divided by strength, species, and ancient houses. Alphas rule at the top, particularly the Fanged Four: Draven, Damian, Devon, and Dexter. They share everything—power, enemies, tension, and silence. But when Scarlet arrives, she doesn't just catch their attention; she disrupts their very foundation. She isn't scanned by the biometric systems. She can't be placed. No known species. No magic match. Just a blank slate with too much silence around her name. That silence, however, is not emptiness. It's suppression. Scarlet has no idea who she truly is. Raised in a quiet, privileged foster home with odd rules and stranger dreams, she's always been told to stay small, keep her hair dyed, and avoid hospitals. But in Crescent Hollow, the rules are different. People notice. Power attracts power. And the four most dangerous Alphas can't seem to stay away from her. Draven watches from the shadows, always near, always silent. Devon asks questions, digs into her background. Dexter pokes and prods, trying to trigger her reactions.

After arranging a marriage with the prince of Ardon, our enemy kingdom, I realize that the marriage is exactly why they were so nice to me my entire life. This is for a peace treaty, they say. I have no choice in the matter. But I do have a choice when I plan a revenge scheme on Ardon. Because an Ardon citizen killed my younger brother six years ago. Nobody would question the queen-to-be's actions.

Kyros was no hero—nor was he a villain. A pragmatist to the core, he turned Earth into a chessboard of chaos, bending nations and empires to his will before meeting his end. But death was only the beginning. The Devil intervened, pulling Kyros into Hell with an irresistible proposition: a second chance at life in a world far removed from Earth—a world named Neva. In this fantastical realm of knights, nobility, magic, and divine power, Kyros becomes the key piece in a wager between God and the Devil. Reborn as Rasmus Blackheart, a disgraced young noble, his task is clear: unleash chaos and topple the order of Neva, just as he did on Earth. But the Devil has added a twist to the game—he’ll serve as Rasmus’s companion, not as a guide but as a mischievous, manipulative force, more likely to hinder than help. Navigating a world brimming with intrigue and divine interference, Rasmus must survive, scheme, and rise from ruin to reshape Neva in his image. Will his cunning be enough to outwit his foes—and his so-called ally—or will this chaotic partnership lead to his downfall?

In a world still haunted by the echo of gods and the ruin of empires, the ancient Crown—once forged to bind the Nameless God—lies shattered. Its fragments, scattered across the realms, awaken one by one… each choosing a bearer. Each demanding a price. In the decaying heart of the empire, a street orphan named Ash discovers a shard of the Crown hidden beneath the city’s bones. It grants him fire that burns illusions and sears through lies—but it also marks him as prey. For Ash is no common orphan. He is the last heir of Queen Lysaria, the one who once wore the Crown before betrayal shattered it. Hunted by cults, nobles, and things older than men, Ash is drawn into a web of ancient secrets and political bloodshed. Alongside Lira, a cursed seer of glass and flame, and Kael Draven, an exiled prince of frost, Ash must navigate the realms of shattered power: icebound kingdoms, cursed deserts, floating dragon isles, and the depths of the Astral Beyond. But war is only the beginning. The Queen of Sorrow, an immortal tyrant cloaked in beauty and ruin, seeks to reforge the Crown—and offer her body as a vessel for the Nameless One’s return. To stop her, Ash must not only master the flame within, but confront the past he never knew... and the god that watches him from behind the shard. In this world, power demands sacrifice. And those who would rule must decide: > Will they bind the Crown again? Or become what it was forged to imprison?

In a fractured world forged from the ashes of two fallen ones, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. The apocalypse known as The First Selection carved a new reality—one ruled by Ranks. Born from the blood of primordial beasts, the ranked carry power beyond comprehension. From E to SSS, strength dictates worth. The lowest crawl. The highest—SSS—are worshipped as gods. At the heart of this cruel resurrection stands Amanda Vire, a former imperial researcher excommunicated for her obsession with demon blood experimentation. In her quest for the apex of human evolution, she creates the Belfrost Orphanage—a sanctuary for discarded children turned lab subjects. Her methods are brutal, her failures expendable. Among these discarded souls is Glass, a poor peasant-born boy injected with demon blood, destined to awaken as a Triple S Ranker. But fate recoils. Instead, he falls—landing one step below as SSR, the rank of “the failed gods.” Cast out into the cold after enduring Amanda’s torment, Glass survives in silence. His body holds forbidden instability, and his mind burns with quiet rage. Amanda, blind to the seeds of her undoing, pushes forward with ever more reckless experiments, leaving a trail of twisted remnants in her wake. Until one day—a pair of crimson eyes stare back at her through the remnants of what she rejected. Not just a child… not just a failed ranker… but a living contradiction to her vision. A reflection she cannot erase. A force she may not survive

A girl born of fire. A prince forged from ice. A crown that could consume them both. Ariya has spent her life running — from soldiers, from fate, and from the strange burn-shaped mark that pulses on her skin. But when a deadly ambush awakens the fire inside her, everything changes. She doesn't burn. She commands the flame. On the run, she’s forced to trust a protective warrior, a sharp-tongued thief, and a laughing chaos-mage with terrifying power. Together, they uncover a secret buried in ancient ruins — Ariya is the last Flamebearer, heir to a power feared by kings. And one of those kings is watching. Prince Ruvan was born to conquer. Cold, brilliant, and merciless, he sets a trap to destroy her before she can rise. But the more he sees of Ariya, the more he starts to question everything — including himself. Tied by a mark, haunted by shared dreams, drawn together by something neither understands... Ariya and Ruvan are destined to collide. The crown is calling. But will she wear it... Or burn it down?

***Together, they were like fire and ice.*** Damon pursued, ready to conquer while Alexander ran, trying so hard to remain cold and guarded. Alexander had thought guarding the sick crown prince was something so easy until he found himself cruelly yet so innocently tempted. ***excerpt*** There was indeed nothing he could do when it came to this man. "You...you are shameless." Alexander managed to say something once he recovered from his momentarily shock. Damon smirked. "I know and I am unapologetic for being that way. Alexander, I am going to do whatever it takes to make you mine." Damon smiled painfully, his voice serious as his eyes burned into his. Alexander was lost for words. At least Damon was being brazenly honest about his intentions. Knowing that did not help to lessen his overwhelmed state at the bold declaration. Now, Alexander knew this man had his eyes set on him but what was he going to do about it. Run or give in to his desires. Desires his mind was still coming to terms with. Running was the safer option because uncertainty was not his greatest suite. But... this man had assured him that he had no problem chasing him. Alexander knew he was doomed...so sweetly doomed. ...

I’ll have her moaning my name before I slit your bastard son's throat and end your miserable life. "Say one more word about my wife or son... I swear, I’ll slit your damn throat!"

They didn’t crawl out of myths, they tore their way through them. Forgotten monstrosities, born from old tales, returned in twisted flesh to remind humanity why even speaking their names once felt dangerous. The sky split. Fire burst from the ground. Oceans boiled. Cities bled. No warning, just monsters. And with them, something else: a power system no one understood. Salvation, perhaps, but not for everyone. It gave nothing to the fearful, nothing to the weak. But to the brave, or the desperate, it offered claws. As for the gods... they stood still, silent. But not necessarily uninvolved. For Lazar, the apocalypse wasn’t a tragedy. It was a delay. He had spent years preparing for revenge, and now the world was burning at the worst possible time. Most people broke. Lazar didn’t. He never believed in hope, never counted on luck. Cold, focused, ruthless, traits that once made him a misfit now exposed everyone else’s weakness. The skills he had honed for vengeance were the very ones demanded by this new world. And vengeance doesn’t vanish just because the world ends. It waits. But monsters aren’t the only threat to his plan. Some gods want their relevance back. Some humans want order, their version of it. As for the forces threatening to destroy the world, no one really knows what they want. One thing a lot of them agree on though: in a world of kings and pawns, someone like him, the wild grey piece on the board, must be removed.
