AnnGuslavia
[Mature Content] [Dual POV — Written in 3rd Person] In the haunted kingdom of Druumari, where spirits whisper through the fog and the dead walk among the living, Seraphine Shadewalker rules as a queen both feared and cursed. Bound to the land by an ancient magic that refuses to let her go, she walks the line between life and death, haunted by ghosts who demand her obedience. When Prince Kaelen Stormrider, heir to the seafaring kingdom of Vyrdantia, leads a failed invasion against Druumari, he finds himself trapped—not only by chains, but by a curse that refuses to let him leave. Forced to work under Seraphine’s rule or risk losing his soul to the spirits, Kaelen becomes a reluctant ally, his hatred for the enigmatic queen burning just as fiercely as the attraction neither of them dares to name. As tensions between their kingdoms rise and an internal enemy threatens to tear Druumari apart, Seraphine and Kaelen must set aside their enmity to survive. But the deeper they delve into the kingdom’s dark secrets, the more entangled their fates become. When betrayal strikes and Kaelen is forced to choose between freedom and the woman he swore to destroy, Seraphine must face the ultimate price of her cursed existence—love, or survival. Enemies by fate. Lovers by defiance.

My Harem Will Help Me Get My Revenge

[Warning: Mature Content 18+, Harem, System, No NTR!] He was only ten years old when his world turned to ash. Hidden behind a door, shivering with helplessness and fear, the boy peered through the keyhole and watched his parents die. He never knew who killed them. He never even saw the faces of those who took everything from him. The terror was too much for a ten-year old boy. His mind shattered, erasing that night from his memory. And then everything was blank, darkness in front of his eyes as he lost consciousness. When his eyes opened again, a man stood before him, a stranger with a gentle smile and eyes filled with something strange… pity? Or something else? "What happened here boy?” “Happened where?” “You don’t remember, do you?" "Remember what…? Where is father? My Mother?” "I guess this is for the best.” “Good boy. Your father was my dearest friend… and now, you are my responsibility. From now on, you will be my son." "You have no one left, boy… but I can make sure no one ever takes anything from you again." The man said gently. And then that man forged him into something inhuman. A weapon honed to perfection, a shadow lurking in the underworld. The mere whisper of his name - Draugr, A ghost that never truly dies, sent grown men into cold sweats, their legs trembling beneath them. The boy soon outgrew his master and carved his own legend in blood. But all this while he never stopped searching—for the ones who killed his parents, for the truth, for revenge. And finally, after fifteen years of silence, he was close. The last clue he needed was just within his grasp. It was so close, yet just an inch out of his grasp. He was ambushed, a trap he never saw coming. Wounded, bleeding out, fighting for his life against an army of men and women eyeing to claim his life, he should have died. But fate had something else stored for him. Barely holding onto life, he stumbled into a girl—fragile-looking, yet completely unafraid of the monster before her. She didn’t run. She didn’t scream. Instead, she smiled. She saved him. Took him to a hospital. And as he lay unconscious, she made her plans. But when he woke up… He had lost everything, He remembered nothing. Not just the truth of his parents' murder. Not just the years of searching. Not just the enemies and allies he'd made along the way. Not even his own name. Twenty-five years of his life—wiped clean. Now, in a world that fears his very name, with ghosts of a past he can no longer remember hunting him in the shadows—he must decide: Is he still the Draugr they all fear? Or is he just a man searching for the pieces of himself? And who is the girl who stole his fate and bound it to hers? ******
