The Raven Prince Historical Romance

ILLICIT ROMANCE

Zelda Delacroix is no ordinary girl—raised in a world of affluence, power, and hidden secrets, she’s adopted into the prestigious Delacroix family, where appearances are everything and silence is survival. But beneath the surface of her new life lies a web of forbidden desire, fractured loyalties, and dangerous truths no one dares to speak. As Zelda tries to navigate university, dreams of becoming an architect, and the unrelenting expectations of the Delacroix household, she finds herself drawn to Lucien—the cold, enigmatic eldest son of the family who has always watched her from a distance. He’s off-limits, untouchable, and infuriatingly magnetic. Their connection simmers quietly, the tension growing more unbearable with each stolen glance and whispered word. But Lucien isn’t the only one watching her. The family’s secrets begin to unravel, and a forgotten brother erased from all records haunts the corners of Zelda’s life. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy that could shatter the Delacroix name—and cost her everything. Meanwhile, rivals emerge. Marcella, a cunning girl from another elite family, pretends to befriend Zelda while scheming to steal Lucien. And Delphine Vale, a petite and seemingly harmless classmate, hides sinister intentions beneath her sweet smile. Every step Zelda takes forward is shadowed by betrayal. With her budding friendship with the genuine and free-spirited Ariyah, and the quiet support of her adoptive brothers Berrett and Ryan, Zelda tries to hold on to her sanity. But as the line between protector and possessor blurs in her relationship with Lucien, and long-buried feelings rise to the surface, Zelda must decide: Can she survive the weight of a love that was never meant to happen? And in a house built on secrets… who will burn first?

The Pale Raven

In a world where ancient pillars of power—hidden Elixir Paths, ubiquitous Mana, ethereal Entities, and Vita enhancements—shape destinies, seven-year-old Aiden is a unique child of a powerful lineage. Destined for greatness, he undergoes secret rituals from an early age, with the enigmatic elixir "The White Raven" being a key component. While it bestows extraordinary intelligence and intuition, with each dose, Aiden gradually loses a piece of himself, descending into an abyss of emotional emptiness and a fractured personality. As Aiden's world is plunged into an era marked by historical wars, slavery controlled by intricate contracts, and a dense web of political intrigues, he faces an internal conflict. His actions, dictated by a logic transcending morality, will often be brutal and manipulative. Raised by his stern yet caring grandfather Sebastian and an overprotective father Cedric, Aiden learns to survive, but his definition of a "decent man" becomes darkly personal. As he grows, mastering Mana in magical schools, delving into the secrets of Vita, and confronting the terrifying influences of Aether, Aiden does not seek salvation or redemption. His empty gaze intermingles with flashes of human emotion as the protagonist tries to understand his changing nature. Will he find meaning in what he deems "cool," even if it means shaping the world in ways others find immoral? This story is a dark journey through the mind of a manipulator who has lost his soul but gained powerful influence in a world that allows it.
