A Frost spirit who runs a coffee shop. A Cupid who works as a divorce lawyer. And magic in the air ...<br><br>Raine’s never been a conventional Cupid. He likes organization, his job as a successful lawyer, and black coffee, and he dislikes messiness, physical and emotional. He tries hard not to use his powers, because he’d rather not manipulate anyone’s desires, and he’s not planning to fall in love himself -- and he wouldn’t trust it if someone fell in love with him.

Fortunately, Don’s always liked a challenge, and now he’s determined to make Raine smile at least once ... and he’s discovering that Raine’s sarcasm hides a generous and lonely heart, keeping the world at bay.<br><br>And if Don and Raine can learn to trust each other -- with new coffee flavors, with their hopes for the future, and with their hearts -- the Frost and the Cupid just might find their own magical happy ending.

Power follows severe tiers in the magically rule-bound world of Elderglen; prophecies pick faultless heroes; and fate never makes errors. Until it chooses Darius Vale. Darius is unfortunate, sarcastic, and wholly unqualified; he shatters strong magic. Marked as a rare Tier Five Anomaly, his presence destabilizes reality, disrupts spells, and causes painstakingly planned events to disintegrate in the most bothersome manner imaginable. Along with a competent yet irritable fighter and a sharp-tongued magical animal, Darius finds himself thrust into a world-saving quest and swiftly discovers that being selected does not imply being ready. Darius's disordered life turns both a danger and a counterbalance as an old force called the Fracture starts imposing flawless order throughout the globe. Hunted by fate, feared by friends, and observed by something that should never see him, Darius has to decide whether to continue fleeing the catastrophe he creates or welcome the reality that sometimes the only means to mend a broken world is to be the problem it can't control. Darius Vale and the Inconvenience of Destiny is a lighthearted fantasy replete with biting comedy, outlandish magic, and heart that discusses luck, choice, and why the worst conceivable hero could be precisely what the world requires.

Darius Lindon a man who had no distinct childhood memories, spent most of his life serving Mistress Isabelle as one her most reliable captains, where she is known as one of the six great generals under Demon King Lucious. Darius is tasked to kill Claire Tromair one of the human's great heroes, a warrioress that excels in both swordmanship and magic, but things aren't as they seem when he confronts her.

Darius was dying. Amidst the smoking ruins of the Elysian Gardens, he stood alone, cornered by the relentless onslaught of the Five Fire Commanders and the infinite legions of the Dark Lux. His blue blood stained the earth, the light of his ancestral pendant flickered on the verge of extinction, and the holy blade—repelled by his vampiric nature—remained cold to his touch. The desperate screams of his lover, Elis, echoed through the carnage, a haunting melody to his impending defeat. But at the threshold of death, something ancient and primal stirred. The blood of the fallen—friend and foe alike—began to churn in a macabre vortex, igniting the forbidden Festival of Blood. The Beast within him finally broke its chains, seizing total control. As a cataclysmic surge of energy flooded his veins, Darius claimed the holy sword, binding it with his own cursed blood and reforging it into a shimmering weapon of absolute slaughter. His vengeance was swift. His retribution, total. In a blur of steel and shadow, the Five Fire Commanders—Seraphina, Arachne, Centurion, Aquila, and Scorpius—were decimated in mere heartbeats, swept away by a tidal wave of gore and the rending fury of his claws. Yet, his rage was not sated. Darius turned his wrath upon the Dark Lux legion, drowning them in a Tsunami Claw that left nothing but silence in its wake. But victory demanded a grim toll. Amongst the sea of corpses, the dark, guttural command of Azazel echoed in his mind: "Open the gate." As the spilled blood coalesced into a jagged, crimson portal, Darius—his soul now a hollow shell—stepped into the abyss, ignoring Elis's frantic pleas. He awoke on an island that looked like paradise: white sands, azure waters, and a sun that felt far too bright. His body was whole, his human form restored. But beneath the deceptive beauty of this silent world, a whisper greeted him: "Welcome to the Labyrinth of Death." One epic saga has ended, but a far more treacherous maze has only just begun.

Dead story, does not exist anymore.
