"𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐞. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟." Evelyn Windsor loved her quiet life in Delamite-the familiar streets, the rushing waterfalls, and the peaceful evenings. But when her parents are appointed as royal coiffeurs, her entire world is uprooted to the grand, overwhelming Royal Palace of Silverdane. Stuck in the dizzying maze of identical row houses in the Staff Quarters, Evelyn refuses to sit around and bore herself to death. Seeking a bit of entertainment (and a lot of distraction), she willingly signs up to become a palace maid. But behind the grand iron gates, the breathtaking rose gardens, and the paradise hidden from public view lies a world governed by strict rules, sharp class divides, and unspoken secrets. Accompanied by her cheerful, cousin Luna, Evelyn is about to find out that life inside the palace walls is far more complicated-and dangerous-than she ever expected. Silverdane rewards loyalty, but it also hides the truth. Can a small-town girl find her future here, or will she always be looking back at the home she left behind? 👑 Features : Palace Intrigue | Slow Burn | Forced Proximity | Class Divides |

Ethan's got a knack for Death-Magic and Jacob's got a dangerous taste for it. Generations of history between reapers and hunters say the two should want to tear each other apart. The thing is, Jacob Wright doesn't follow anyone's scripts but his own. He's hunting Ethan alright, Just not in the way either of their fathers expect. As much as Ethan doesn't want to admit it - He loves the chase. And he loves giving Jacob the hits he craves. But what they're doing is unprecedented, and if the history books are to be believed, then the consequences might be incompatible with life. The spark meant to draw blood drew them together instead. They were never enemies. But they know how to play the part. For now. They could fall for each other. They could drag their families to hell. *Maybe they won't have to choose.*

Brin wakes to fire and blood. Fae monsters descend on her once-peaceful village, leaving her best friend at death's door. All hope seems lost... until one of the monsters offers to save him. For a price. Brin accepts. Now, whenever she falls asleep, Brin finds herself face to face with the Fae. With each night, their time together transforms from a nightmare into something almost pleasant. But Brin's been told her entire life that Fae are bloodthirsty, cruel, and never to be trusted... no matter how charming this one seems. She flees to the north, hoping to find aid from a sect of holy warriors. Along the way she meets Renner, a mercenary who agrees to act as guide and guard. He's far from charming and the two find themselves constantly at odds, but he's her best chance of making it north in one piece. Their journey is fraught with danger. Fae prowl the wilderness, preying on mortals. Towns that should be safe are filled with humans in league with monsters. And every night, the Fae waits in her dreams. What to expect: 1. A heroine with strong moral convictions. 2. Romantic fantasy with a fairly dark plot, but plenty of cozy moments. 3. Strong emphasis on atmosphere and thoughtful story development. 4. Slow-burn, series-long enemies-to-friends-to-lovers arc. 5. Themes of found family, self-sacrifice, and unconditional love. 6. A fun twist on the "chosen one" trope.
