Her Master's desire

"Take her," the dangerous man orders casually, like I'm the most boring little human he's ever encountered in his life. "I said stay the fuck away!" I yell at him this time, causing him to tilt his head in amusement. "A little girl like you shouldn't be swearing at your elders. It's bad habit. Your daddy should have taught you better." Hold on. My daddy. And if I heard correctly the first time, the other man had mentioned something about 'daughter' and 'grown woman'. Shit! What's going on? This must be Darius Hunter! And how do they know about my existence!? Oh no! My father! Have they taken him? Have they hurt him? "Darius... Hunter?" I stutter in sheer terror, the dangerous man tensing as I mention his name. "You know my name. I don't know if I should be impressed or disappointed," Darius chuckles, amusement seeping into his tone. "Errrm... I... Where's my father...?" My demand sounds more like a plea, my voice shuddering in painful anticipation. "Waiting for you at my place. He said we should come get you. I didn't expect you to be old enough to beat up my man. I am definitely impressed, and your value, my dear, has just gone up." --------------------------- Allison, a confined young woman who finds solace in books and writing, is thrust into a world of danger and deceit when her father, Frank, a reformed gambler turned priest, sells her to Darius Hunter, the infamous "Devil of California," to settle an old debt.

The Throne is Yours, The World is Mine

Betrayed. Executed. Forgotten. Emilia Sylvester, the once-feared vampire queen, was dethroned by her husband, King Darius Lysander, for his sweet and seemingly innocent half-blood mistress after the victorious war. Locked in a dungeon for fifty years with her legs cut off, Emilia thought death would be her only release. But when she opens her eyes after the brutal execution, she’s back at that grand ball, the very night her husband demanded a divorce to marry the woman who ruined her. “Because of your callous attitude, our marriage is over. I intend to take Rosalia as my bride.” Divorce was rare in vampire society, especially among the royal bloodlines. For a prince to divorce his wife and take a hybrid vampire, a half-blood, as his queen? It was scandal of the highest order. But Emilia was no longer his obedient pawn. “If that is your will, my prince,” she said, her voice calm and composed, “then who am I to stand in your way?” This time, Emilia has no intention of fighting for a war that only brought her pain. Let the half-blood Rosalia and Darius deal with the backstabbing court and the weight of the vampire kind on the brink of chaos. Emilia has better plans. She’s done playing by anyone else’s rules. Walking away from the vampires and into the territory of the werewolves, Emilia discovers she’s far from powerless. As a former peace negotiator, she knows how to handle wolves, especially the dangerous alphas, but she never expected them to be so eager to handle her. This time, she won’t choose love anymore. Once is enough.

The Skyball Chronicles

In the floating city of Skyreach, where magic and athleticism collide, the sport of Skyball reigns supreme. Played on islands suspended high above the ground, Skyball is a breathtaking, high-flying competition where players harness magical powers to soar through the air and score with a glowing energy orb. For orphan Kai Stormwind, who possesses the rare gift of wind magic, the dream of playing in the elite Skyball leagues has always seemed out of reach. Working at a small Skyball shop in the lower district, Kai spends his days fixing worn-out gear and his nights secretly practicing his magic. But when a mysterious stranger—revealed to be the legendary Darius Falkner, former captain of the champion Sky Titans—witnesses Kai’s untapped potential, everything changes. Darius offers Kai a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the struggling Storm Hawks, a team of underdogs fighting for their place in the Great Sky Tournament. As Kai joins the team, he must learn to master not only his wind magic but also the teamwork and strategy needed to compete at the highest level. With the tournament drawing near, Kai and the Storm Hawks face fierce competition, including the ruthless Drakken Fangs, a team bent on winning at any cost—even if it means using forbidden magic. As dark forces threaten the tournament and the future of Skyreach itself, Kai finds himself at the center of a conflict far greater than just a game. With the fate of the city hanging in the balance, Kai must rise above his past and lead the Storm Hawks to victory—both on the Skyball field and against an enemy who seeks to destroy everything they hold dear. Full of magical action, thrilling sports competition, and the journey of an underdog fighting for his dreams, The Skyball Chronicles is an epic adventure of courage, friendship, and the power of teamwork.

The Mad Prince

Synopsis: Ezekiel’s life was a tragic tale of addiction, loneliness, and missed opportunities. A failed existence marred by a deadly overdose, his life seemed to end in darkness. But fate had other plans. Reincarnated in the body of Darius Lionhart, a 16-year-old prince with immense potential and godly mana reserves, Ezekiel is given a second chance — one that comes with power, intrigue, and danger. Darius, once seen as a weak and illegitimate son, is reborn as a man with limitless potential. Blessed with infinite mana and empowered by the mysterious chains that bind him, Ezekiel embraces his new identity with a ruthless resolve. His jealous brothers, Elias and Asher, who conspired to poison him, are in for a shock — Darius is no longer the pawn they believed him to be. With a mind sharpened by his past life and a body capable of incredible feats, Ezekiel sets his sights on the throne. He will no longer be the victim of his family’s schemes. Instead, he will become the most feared force in the kingdom, ruling with an iron fist and a heart of ice. But his journey will not be easy. Old rivals, deadly enemies, and even his own father — the legendary King Kael, an SSS-ranked battle god — stand in his way. To survive, Ezekiel must outmaneuver everyone around him. The throne is within his grasp, but only if he can navigate the deadly politics of the royal court, the manipulation of his siblings, and the countless challenges that await him. Will he rise to become the ultimate ruler, or will the kingdom’s power struggles consume him? In a world where only the strongest survive, Ezekiel will stop at nothing to claim his birthright. The Lionhart bloodline will either bow to him, or it will burn in the flames of his ambition.

"I will touch the stars... or die trying." ==================== Note: NO R-18, R**e, Romance or pre-marital handholding. I take no pleasure in writing such things. There's a bunch of killing and gruesome descriptions though. The novel is a bit slow in the first chapters, but after that, it picks up and gets significantly better. Also, the power system is similar to BotDS, but I've asked the author for permission to use it. It's also heavily inspired my writing, but the beginning is where its most prevalent. Discord: due to spam bots joining, the server is invite only. My discord tag is: covidcandy I welcome criticism and feedback with open arms, as long as it's actual advice. Note, if your review has any spoilers without the spoiler tag, I will have to delete it. One last note, if you're going to, please don't buy privilege by the end of the month since it'll reset at the starting of every month. Art is not mine - source: no clue.
