Cross Heart And Hope To Die

Die Dämonenbraut

*Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel* Elise wollte sich gerade in das Kleid umziehen, das in der Ecke ihres Bettes lag, als sie ein leises Klopfen an ihrer Tür hörte. Neugierig drehte sie den Türknauf und sah einen großen Mann vor sich aufragen. "Meister Ian!" rief sie. Ian lächelte mit dem üblichen schelmischen Grinsen, das er immer benutzte. Seine purpurroten Augen wanderten ein wenig durch ihr Zimmer und entdeckten das schwarze Kleid über ihrem Bett, dann richtete er seinen Blick auf die Frau, die vor ihm stand. Er trat einen Schritt vor und sprach. "Woher haben Sie dieses Kleid?" "Mr. Harland hat es mir geschenkt." antwortete Elise und reckte den Hals, um zu sehen, wie sich Ians Brauen in seiner Eleganz zusammenzogen. "Weißt du, warum ein Mann einer Frau gerne ein Kleid schenkt?" Er gab das Rätsel auf, bei dem sie immer zweimal überlegen musste, bevor sie antwortete. Doch dieses Mal fand sie keine Antwort und schüttelte stattdessen den Kopf. "Ich weiß es nicht." Sein Grinsen wurde betörend, als hätte sich tief in seinen scharlachroten Augen etwas geregt. Langsam ließ er seine Hand über den Kragen ihres Kleides gleiten, was ihr einen kalten Schauer über den Rücken jagte, der sie für einen Moment erschreckte, da es eiskalt war. Nachdem er die ersten beiden Knöpfe ihres Kragens geöffnet hatte, neigte er den Kopf nach unten und flüsterte ihr ins Ohr. "Weil sie derjenige sein wollen, der den Stoff auszieht." Er hielt inne und küsste ihren Hals, wobei sich die blasse Haut rötlich verfärbte, bevor er seine Bewegung zurückzog, sie mit seinen Augen fixierte und gemächlich antwortete. "Leider kannst du das Kleid da drüben damit nicht tragen." Er gluckste und reichte ihr eine Schachtel in die Hand. "Die gute Nachricht ist, dass ich ein Kleid für dich vorbereitet habe." Elise war ein verfluchtes kleines Mädchen, das Geister sehen konnte. Ihre Familie hasste sie und schmiss sie von einer Adoptivfamilie zur nächsten. Doch das Unglück kam nicht allein. Als sie von ihrer Tante aufgezogen wurde, wurde sie als Sklavin verkauft. Als sie dachte, sie würde nur ein Opfer für den Zauberer werden, wurde sie von einem Mann gerettet, dessen Identität ganz anders war als die eines normalen Fabelwesens. *** Dieses Buch ist ORIGINAL und keine Übersetzung Autorendiskord beitreten: https://discord.gg/YPKueb4

Cursed Crowns and Stolen Heart

In the kingdom of Ustaria, power and ambition rule, and the throne is the ultimate prize. As the once-mighty King Harley Pennington succumbs to age and illness, the question of who will succeed him sets the royal family and noble houses into a spiraling conflict. Harley, a shrewd but frail monarch, clings desperately to his power, unable to choose between his children, each vying for the throne in their own way. His favoritism toward his reckless youngest son, Prince David, blinds him to the chaos he is creating, as the kingdom teeters on the edge of collapse. The eldest son, Prince Harris, is a seasoned warrior and natural leader, but his impulsive nature and reliance on brute strength make him a divisive figure at court. Princess Ruby, the youngest daughter, is beloved by the people for her intelligence and grace, yet she remains entangled in the webs of court intrigue, unwillingly used as a political pawn. Princess Lilliana, with her foreign ties and secret ambitions, hides her cunning behind a mask of loyalty, biding her time to make her own play for power. Meanwhile, Lord Hugo Wilde, a cunning and vengeful noble, plots in the shadows to usurp the Pennington dynasty. His son, Elliot Wilde, a charming yet calculating figure, is caught between his father’s ambition and his growing love for Princess Ruby. As their dangerous romance unfolds, Elliot becomes embroiled in the deadly game of thrones, balancing his loyalty to his father with the allure of true love. Within the royal court, alliances shift and betrayals simmer beneath the surface. The noble houses, restless and hungry for power, begin to align themselves with different heirs. Foreign nations bribe Ustaria’s nobility, stoking the flames of civil war, and the kingdom is soon caught in a storm of political machinations, secret affairs, and deadly rivalries. As King Harley’s grip on the throne loosens, the Pennington children—each with their own secrets, desires, and dark pasts—are thrust into a brutal contest for the crown. Old loyalties are shattered, and trust becomes a rare commodity. When the king finally falls, the battle for Ustaria’s future will begin, and the cost of the crown may be more than any of them can bear. In this tale of power, betrayal, and love, the true enemy may not be the one holding the sword, but the one holding your heart.
