Duchess Ravenna

Duke Barlow and His Jade Queen

[Book 1 of Series Love and Empires] #Blurb version 1 “You wanted a serious marriage with me, that's what you said. And now you’re trying to secretly meet your brother,” Vance said, pushing Liquorice onto the bed. At that moment, their eyes met. Liquorice could see dangerous gold sparks radiating strongly from his usually harmless black eyes. And she can smell the scent of the forest after the rain, that was Vance’s pheromone. “Yes. I tried, but what you did was push me away. Vance, our marriage is only political, you said so,” Liquorice replied firmly. “Are you angry with me about it?” Vance took his duchess’s hand and placed a kiss on her beautiful hand. His voice was as seductive as the sing of the fairy Anastasia. However, this time, Liquorice wouldn’t be weak, “This is a political marriage, I have no reason to be angry.” “Then why do you keep saving me, over and over again?” Vance looked into his duchess’s emerald eyes, unable to hide his confident smile. Liquorice pulled her hand away from him, “I did it for my own benefit.” Vance leaned close to her ear and whispered, “You know you can’t fool me with such a fragile lie. Sweet Root, don’t go anywhere and stay with your husband tonight.” #Blurb version 2 "Enter Jadeherb and destroy it from within, this is your mission," Duke Truman told her. "My dear little sister, go into Jadeherb and bring me valuable information to awaken the mystical dragon. When I become the king of the seven empires, no one will be able to harm you," her brother told her. "My duchess, my Sweet Root, come to me, I will protect you," her husband Duke Barlow told her. For centuries, there were no kings, only 7 dukes ruling their empires, and the Council regulated power. This was how the world worked. In the Council, the no-end war between the Reds and the Blues was obvious. However, an unexpected political marriage took place. The groom was Vance II Barlow, the Duke of Jadeherb, representing the Blues. The bride was Liquorice Ryland, whose godfather was the duke representing the Reds, Klay Truman. The council informed the people that this marriage was a handshake of friendship between the Reds and the Blues, ushering in a new era of peace, but Liquorice did not believe it. Because she had been trained to be a spy for the past year. Liquorice understood that she was just a small pawn on the chessboard of men. Who will Liquorice choose? What will be the end of the battle between the Reds and the Blues? Are there any other plots going on?

Destroy My Life In You

[Warning: This book contains Strong Language and Mature Content] On her eighteenth birthday, Ravenna felt the weight of exile as she was outlawed from her home because she could not shift to a werewolf, a mark of shame in their world that revered power. Away from all the ridicules and hate, she had at least a more peaceful life, until a beautiful storm knocked at her door. Deceived by its enchanting waves, Ravenna welcomed it with open arms until she was swept away into the deepest depth of the ocean of love. Being a daughter of an alpha, that was not supposed to happen even if she was not living in the pack anymore. Falling in love with the king of darkness. Alaric! He is the epitome of danger. But then, she turned his life upside down. From a heartless man to an obsessive lover. All he wished was to keep her with him. Even if it meant chaining her to himself. Whether what he felt was infatuation, desire or... he just would never ever let her go. Let no man or beast separate him from what he had claimed and marked; else they would face his unceasing wrath. **************** "Am of no use to you, why do you still insist on keeping me?" She just wanted to hear him say it. That he loved her as much as she did. She was becoming more desperate as days went by, maybe more than desperate to the extent of destroying herself in this love. Alaric paused and kept his laptop aside. He held her hand and brought her in front of him before pulling her to his lap. Silently, he sniffed her neck and licked it, then replied, "Because I want to." He continued his actions, and his hands were already moving under her dress caressing her thighs. Ravenna took a deep breath trying to stop herself from diving into pleasure as always. "Will you ever say it?" Her voice came out as a low yearning plead and with his advanced hearing ability, Alaric did not miss a word. "Say what?" His hand reached her pant ready to tear it apart. "That you love me." Her words made him pause abruptly before looking at her. As usual, his eyes were blank with no hint of emotions making Ravenna feel like she was just fooling herself. For how long could she endure this? "Do I?" He asked not tearing his gaze away from her eyes that were already tearing up.

A Cinderella Story in A Cultivation World

Lee Wooyun had always been a fan of romance fantasy books and films, especially those set in historical times with kings and queens, dukes and duchesses, and the like. His friends were well aware of his obsession and recommended a book that had recently been making waves on social media. The book was titled My Charming Demon Lord. At first, Lee Wooyun was hesitant. Unlike the fantasies he usually read, which were often set in Western historical settings, this one was different. However, his friends assured him he would enjoy it. Not wanting to reject their gift, he decided to give it a try. That night, he found himself unable to put the book down, reading almost the entire thing in one sitting. "Those guys were right! It’s amazing! A Cinderella-like fairytale set in a murim/cultivation world? It’s too good!" He couldn't help but imagine how incredible it would be to take the female lead Han Seo-yoon’s place—starting from such a miserable beginning only to end up in the arms of the surprisingly sweet and gentle demon lord. I wish I could take her place. That night, as he drifted off to sleep, the book he had left open on his desk began to emit a golden glow. The pages flipped backward, returning to the very first chapter, and its contents began to change as well. The title My Charming Demon Lord pulsed with a piercing red light, and before Lee Wooyun could even react, his surroundings shifted. The next morning, instead of waking up wrapped in his expensive velvet duvet—the one he had spent hundreds of dollars on—he found himself in a dimly lit room, lying on a pile of hay and straw. His back ached horribly, like he had actually slept on a pile of hay and straw. "What in the world…?" he muttered, rubbing his sore muscles. "Where in the hell am I? And why does it smell like cow dung in here?!” *** This is the story of how a fantasy-genre enthusiast ended up inside one of the books he had wished for—without realizing just how dangerous that wish would be. "I guess it’s true what they say: Be careful what you wish for."

The First Vampire: A Journey Into The Supernatural

The story began when Lucifer grew bored. This led him to decide to create a superior race to his father's, for his own entertainment. This race would surpass humans in every aspect, but there were still limitations to what he could achieve. For instance, he couldn't deceive the sun, a natural force belonging to his father, God. He desired a race that could outwit and behave like humans in order to deceive his father's masterpiece, but he couldn't create it in the same way as his father. Therefore, he opted for a shortcut - creating a disease known as vampirism. The main character becomes the first vampire, obtaining the blessing from Lucifer himself. In the year 646 A.D. in a small village in The Frankish Kingdom, a young albino girl named Carmilla lived in fear for her life. In those dark ages, her unique appearance meant almost certain death. Confined to the basement of her house, she had never seen the world beyond its walls. Her parents kept her in chains, showing her no love or kindness, except for her sister Anna, who was her only source of comfort and care. However, tragedy struck when fate cruelly took Anna away. Alone and desperate, Carmilla prayed for salvation, and in her darkest moment, an unexpected blessing came from the Seraphim Lucifer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In my novel, Carmilla will embark on a journey through different time periods, facing great dangers along the way. She may encounter historical figures such as Vlad The Impaler, visit the Lancaster duchess, and possibly even travel to Brazil. The story will be filled with numerous historical events, some of which will be altered while others may not occur at all. The supernatural world will be rich with a variety of folklore from real life, some of which I may create myself. Elements such as werewolves, sorcery, faith bearers, pagan gods, and more will be included. I draw inspiration from real world legends and events, and will also introduce some original creations of my own. Many of the vampire characters in the story will be influenced by existing vampire literature, such as Castlevania, Vampire: The Masquerade, Count Dracula, and others.

There is a guaranteed Adult Chapter one out of every five. NOT FOR CHILDREN! NOT FOR SOFT HEARTS!] • FULL BLURB Israfel BlüdThïrste was born in Hel. He has lived in it all eighteen years of his life. As seventh in the bloodline of the Morningstar himself, Rafel has had a pretty fucking great life. There's spilled blood in excess. Violence to choke the gray skies. Abundant sex—depraved and hardcore. And more blood. Everything a Prince of the Abyss could desire. But Rafel has heard stories, of the world above. The world of the weak mortals whose damned souls fall endlessly through the red skies of his, to meet with perpetual torture. Stories of their fine carriages and legendary kings. Their golden sun and green earth. But mostly, their virgin women. He wishes to see it for himself. And so, when a lucky gambit with his dear Aunt, Lilith, opens up a way for him to explore the surface, Rafel hops to it. The deal is a hundred years before he has to return to his duties as Hell's Apollyon. Accompanied by his new slave, a voluptuous horned Succubus, Rafel journeys to the mortal realm, entering into the mythical lands of Eldoria as the enigmatic Earl of Emberfall, a haunted estate. But Rafel intends to rise, into the very courts of the Eldorian Queen. At least before his time runs out. And if corrupting, blackmailing, fucking, and murdering a few mortals gets in his way, so be it. This is until the haloed mess of Ravenna de Vries ends up on the grand steps of his Manor, soaking wet with a blood debt hanging over her head. Israfel had seen many beautiful women in his time, but somehow the little mortal girl is sufficient to make him rethink his gambit. Ravenna is owed to a powerful Hell Principality. And though Rafel convinces himself that building up his power ranking is solely selfish, it also has to do with going up against an ancient adversary from his home who is certain to appear just about anytime to collect what he is owed—Ravenna. She is not his responsibility, but why does Rafel feel exactly that whenever he looks at her? And suddenly for this Immortal, a hundred years is not enough to fall in love.

Surviving A Women's World

When seventeen-year-old Lucien Haruto Maris — a socially awkward but brilliant prodigy with a mind built for strategy, games, psychology, and war theory — dies in an accident, he opens his eyes in a place far removed from anything he's ever known. He's no longer in his own frail body... but in the muscular, wounded shell of a dying man sprawled in a muddy trench surrounded by the scent of steel and blood. The world around him is medieval — swords, castles, horses, dirt roads, and politics steeped in steel. But something is very wrong. Here, women rule everything. Kings are Queens. Generals are Matriarchs. Knights ride in plate armor with long hair braided in the colors of their house. Men? They are property. Spoils of war. Breeders. Pets. Playthings. Rarely educated, often silenced. Their worth lies between their legs, not between their ears. Worse still: the body Lucien now occupies belongs to a rebel, a once-prized consort of a Duchess who betrayed the crown and paid the price. He should be dead. Instead, Lucien wakes up with a second chance — and in a world stacked entirely against him. Armed with only his genius, his virgin awkwardness,combat experience of his new body and a deep knowledge of human behavior, Lucien must navigate a world where a smile from the wrong woman can be lethal... and a clever lie can buy him power. He'll play the fool, whisper poison in powerful ears, seduce with strategy instead of strength, and build a following of dangerous women who believe they control him. They don’t. They’re playing checkers. Lucien is playing goddamn 5D chess.

Incubus System in a Women's World

Reborn in a World of Women? Marcus Bellweather died pathetically—stabbed over forty dollars by a convenience store robber. But death was just the beginning. Reborn as the sole heir to the most powerful duchess in a matriarchal world where women wield all magical and political power, Marcus should be living every man's fantasy. Gorgeous sisters who dote on him, immortal academy instructors offering personal tutoring, an empress requesting private meetings, princesses flooding him with marriage proposals—paradise served on a silver platter. There's just one catch: men in this world are expected to be submissive pets, beautiful ornaments for powerful women to collect and control. Marcus has seen enough anime to know how this story ends, and he's not playing that role. Why be a caged bird when you can own the entire aviary? His awakening ceremony triggers two life-changing events: an Incubus System that grows stronger through intimate conquest and strategic bonding, allowing him to copy magical abilities from partners while creating unbreakable loyalty through pleasure. The second? A vengeful dead god demanding he destroy this paradise out of spite. The choice is simple—ignore the bitter deity's tantrums and focus on the real prize. Armed with supernatural charm, reality-breaking magic, and the strategic mind of someone who understands power dynamics, Marcus begins his transformation from zero to the epitome of everything any woman could desire. Systematically converting every potential threat into a devoted ally—from family members discovering new depths of submission, to untouchable immortals abandoning millennia of chastity, to scheming duchesses becoming willing servants to his desires. But this world holds deeper mysteries than anyone suspects, and Marcus's refusal to play by established rules will either reshape paradise completely—or bring divine consequences that threaten everything he's building. Heavy romance with explicit encounters, strategic harem building through genuine connection, academy intrigue with immortal beauties, and political manipulation as one man's lustful journey proves that sometimes the best way to save paradise is to conquer it completely—while becoming the ultimate male fantasy that no woman can resist.

[Discontinued] Crown of Ash and Bonds (Original Version)

Seraphina D’Lorien was raised to lead with grace, bound by duty, and destined to carry on her noble house’s legacy. As the Duchess of House D’Lorien and wife to the ambitious Alaric Vessant, she was meant to be a symbol of stability in a crumbling empire. Instead, she was accused of treason, chained at the pyre, and sentenced to burn. The empire turned its back. Her husband watched in silence. Her cousin Evelyne wept in public, but behind her tears was a smile no one else noticed. And only Evelyne knew that Seraphina was carrying a child. That secret died in the fire. Or so they thought. But Seraphina did not stay dead. She awakens in her chambers, unburned, unbound, and alive. Everything around her is exactly as it was, except now, she remembers everything. The lies. The betrayal. The flame. And the child she never got to protect. With no one aware of what truly happened, Seraphina pretends to resume her former life. But she no longer trusts, no longer hopes, and no longer believes justice will come on its own. By day, she smiles at her husband’s side. By night, she stalks the empire’s shadows, gathering secrets, unraveling documents, and finding cracks in the system that tried to erase her. Her quest leads her to Caelan Vorenthal, the Warden General, an enigmatic, masked warrior with no tolerance for corruption and a past as shadowed as her own. What begins as cautious cooperation becomes something deeper, as Seraphina uncovers a conspiracy stretching back years. Her marriage had been arranged not for love, but as a calculated maneuver. Her family’s fall was no accident. It was orchestrated. Her life, her title, even her pain were all used as leverage in a political game she never agreed to play. And now, she is rewriting the rules. Just as she prepares to move against the court, assassins strike. Seraphina survives, but the message is clear. Someone knows she is no longer a pawn. War brews in the corridors of power, and every ally she gains makes her more of a threat. Through ink, blade, and bloodless subterfuge, Seraphina prepares to dismantle the empire that once watched her burn. One forged document, one ruined house, one false oath at a time. The court believes she has been tamed. But Seraphina D’Lorien is no longer theirs to control. She is the flame reborn, and this time she decides who burns.
