'Alarys Military Academy welcomes all the candidates to its doors. I would like to thank all the Kruvaryans for dispatching their youth to us. I may remind you again that this is not a sacrifice but a step towards the eternal prosperity of Kruvarys. Do your Army proud, so you do your Kingdom proud.' Alarys Military Academy was nothing more than a slaughterhouse and Gwen was one of the many sacrificial goats who were forcefully shoved into the entry trials this year. To live, she must survive. To live, she must bond with one of the fire-breathers. But even if she did survive the trials, she had to survive the military academy filled with the offspring of the generals who destroyed the lives of everyone in their Kingdom. However, later she figured out that she had more life-threatening problems in hand. In the Academy, a different sort of mystery awaited her and she couldn't help but think that there was something more sinister about the Military Academy than what met the eye. Bound with her enemy and the Governor General's handsomely infuriating son, Damian Thorndyke, she had to figure out the links between the magic of the lands and the sinister incidents that happened in the Academy every year. All her life, Gwen was considered an outcast for not having a magical moon stone just like every human on the lands. But now that she had the magic she yearned for, why did it seem like the magic in their lands was more of a curse than a blessing? ——— "You are no princess, Gwen," his fingers brushed her cheek as his twilight eyes bore into hers, "You are wild. A breathtakingly ethereal, murderous little venom. You bow to no one. And when I look at you? I am terrified. Terrified of the things that I would do for you."

Book 1 of the Brides of Darkness Series For hundreds of years, Calaren Town had been offering virgin maidens to fulfill their part on the treaty they made with the Court of Shadows to keep their small town under their protection. To be chosen meant death to the townsfolk, as there was no turning back to becoming a human again. Upon realizing that her younger sister was chosen as one of the maidens to be sacrificed by their impoverished town to the thirteen demon lords who once ruled their land, Iris Scarborough volunteered to take her place instead to save her. There was nothing exceptional about Iris, except for the secret she was keeping from everyone. However, even before she was taken away, Iris had already caught the eye of one of the demon lords. Rumors say that Lord Kieran Fleurnoir was the personification of death. His mere presence was enough to suck the life essence out of those around him. He was also known to be one of the strongest demons of all time, who possesses extremely dangerous and powerful magic. Taken to Asnar, a place filled with magical beings and monsters, Iris found herself enthralled and captivated not only by the place and its residents, but also by the cold and enigmatic demon lord, Lord Kieran. Once there, Iris realized that Asnar and Lord Kieran himself were different from what humans thought them to be. Loosely based on the tales of ‘Hades and Persephone’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’.

[REIFER INHALT] Er wollte sie mit allen Mitteln ruinieren, aber was passiert, wenn er derjenige ist, der ihr Beschützer in einem feindlichen Königreich wird? Kann sie in einem Königreich überleben, in dem nichts als Feindseligkeit auf sie wartet? Synopsis: Im Jahr 299 des Mondsystems fiel ein geheimnisvoller roter Streifen auf die Erde und landete in einem unbesetzten Gebiet zwischen den Königreichen Eldoria und Selvarys. Die Entdeckung der magischen roten Steine löste einen jahrzehntelangen Krieg zwischen den beiden Völkern aus. Um das Blutvergießen zu beenden, arrangierten die Könige von Eldoria und Selvarys eine Ehe zwischen Prinzessin Cynthia, deren Ruf in der High Society durch einen Skandal getrübt war, und Prinz Lucian, dem unehelichen Sohn des Königs von Selvarys. Prinzessin Cynthia, die als Schurkin und Unruhestifterin bekannt war, hatte erst vor kurzem eine Verlobung gelöst. Trotz ihrer Berühmtheit willigte sie in die Heirat ein, um den Krieg zu beenden und ihr Volk zu retten. Prinz Lucian, der gerade vom Schlachtfeld zurückgekehrt war, verachtete den Gedanken, eine feindliche Prinzessin zu heiraten. Als unehelicher Prinz war es jedoch seine einzige Chance, die Verschwörungen im Palast zu überleben, indem er dem Befehl des Königs gehorchte. Können sie in einer Ehe, die von gegenseitiger Verachtung und Misstrauen geprägt ist, ihren Hass überwinden und lernen, miteinander zu leben? Oder wird die Feindseligkeit, die sie im feindlichen Königreich umgibt, zu groß sein, um sie zu überwinden? Auszug: "Eure Hoheit, warum vermeidet Ihr es immer, mich anzusehen, wenn Ihr sprecht?" fragte Cynthia in festem Ton, während sie ihren Kopf neugierig neigte. "Liegt es daran, dass Ihr keinen Augenkontakt mit mir halten könnt?", fügte sie hinzu, und ihre Worte trugen eine subtile Schärfe. Für Lucian fühlte sich ihre Bemerkung an wie dünn verschleierte Kritik, die er schon unzählige Male gehört hatte. Er klappte den Kiefer zusammen, dann hob er den Blick und begegnete Cynthias Blick mit seinen markanten grün-smaragdgrünen Augen. "Verspotten Sie mich, Eure Hoheit?" fragte Lucian leise und hob Cynthias Kinn an, lehnte sich näher heran, seine Augen spiegelten seine Verärgerung über die harschen Bemerkungen der Prinzessin wider, ihre Gesichter berührten sich fast. "Nun, das macht mir nichts aus. Solange du deine Pflicht als meine Frau ordnungsgemäß erfüllst, habe ich nichts gegen dich. Aber in dem Moment, in dem du deinen Pflichten nicht nachkommst", seine Hand glitt auf ihre Schultern, während er ihr tief in die Augen blickte. "Das ist der Moment, in dem du diese Heirat bereuen wirst. Du wirst es bereuen, in ein feindliches Königreich eingeheiratet zu haben, wo du niemanden hast, der dich vor Schaden bewahrt. Wo nicht einmal dein Ehemann an deiner Seite ist." Ein leises Kichern entwich Cynthia und verwirrte den Mann vor ihr. "Ich werde nichts davon bereuen. Du wirst es bereuen, wenn du dich in jemanden verliebst, den du nicht einmal sehen willst", murmelte sie. Haftungsausschluss: Dies ist Feinde zu Liebenden. Lies nur, wenn du das magst!

"I WILL MAKE THEM ALL REGRET THE DAY THEY MET ME! I WILL MAKE THEM WISH THEY WERE NEVER BORN! AND I WILL MAKE THEM HATE THE DAY THEY THOUGHT OF BETRAYING ME!" "You will, Sweetie. And I'll help you with that..." Those were the last words Avery spoke and heard before passing out in her bloody red wedding gown, on the same day she was supposed to marry her boyfriend from senior high school. ~~ Avery McCallum, the sole heiress and president of the McCallum Group of Companies, had her whole family wiped out on her wedding day. Framed for her grandfather's murder and stripped of her position, Avery vows to take revenge on those who wronged her. But her powerless state seems to mock her determination. Enter Archibald Donovan. She used to hate the devilishly hot and narcissistic chairman of the A² Corp who also happened to be her older brother's best friend, but when consumed with the need to take revenge, she begged him to marry her in return for fulfilling a long list of conditions. Archie agrees, and a month later, Avery re-emerges as Ava Donovan, a rising actress and the wife of the most powerful man in the country. With her newfound status, Avery systematically destroys her adversaries, uncovering dark secrets and hidden agendas along the way. But as she navigates the treacherous landscape of her new life, she must confront the truth about her family's past and at the end of it all, come back to him. She owed him after all... ~ EXCERPT Archie's eyes darkened when he saw her stumbling out of the wine cellar, a bottle of wine in one hand and her night robe, in the other. She was literally half naked. "Hey..." her greeting came out in a slur, and that was all he needed to know she was drunk. Very drunk, at that. "Why?" he asked simply, knowing she would interpret his question as she usually did. "I...I visited them today. The flowers on their stones were already wilted and...and...it broke me. I wanted to be happy and at the same time, I wanted to cry," Avery replied, inhaling short wisps of air before she continued, "Then I found the cellar." "Did it work?" She shook her head slowly in reply, lifting her head up in time to see a mischievous smirk curl on his lips. "Don't be sad, Baby girl. I happen to know a way to make you cry and keep you excited at the same time," he said. "Really?" "Wanna try it, Mama?" Avery nodded, slowly but firmly as he closed the distance between them. As he promised, she did cry...in pleasure. Note: This book is participating in the Cupid's Quill Contest. Your support is highly appreciated!4.41
