(R-18 and dark themes, you have been warned.) Blurb: During my incarceration by my mate, I see a man leaning against the wall of the dungeon with his arms and legs coiled with heavy iron chains. Dressed only in tattered rags of a black robe his ghostly white skin is mostly on display. Tattoos like smoke crawl all the way from his neck to the side of his handsome and deeply chiselled face, but it's the eyes that have me in a trance. Deep red like the freshly spilt blood, such rich shade, and they stare directly at me with such intensity that I forget to breathe. My hand grabs the iron bar, and I steady myself as his curved lips move and he utters only one word to make my world crash and my magic lose control. “Mate!” My world shatters at his words. "You can see me?” He asks next, a voice calmer and yet deeper than Mariana Trench. It whispers all around me, murmuring against my skin as if trying to awaken something sleeping. “Yes, why shouldn't I be able to?” I question, slightly confused. A crease descends on my forehead. "No one else can," he answers with a wounded smile that wrecks my heart. Synopsis: In this post-apocalyptic world, Faes are hunted and killed mercilessly because they are blamed for the apocalypse that befell and destroyed half of the population. At 20, Amaia Zhāng is a Fae and is the last of her kind, or so she thinks. Her family and her whole village were massacred by the Dread Army in the name of keeping peace. She is the sole survivor and keeps her appearance cloaked. But she makes it her mission to train every day and become strong enough to avenge her kind. During a battle with a monster, her mate abandons and rejects her to save his life. Heartbroken, Amaia is left with no choice but to join Orion Academy. It is home to the greatest hunters and enforcers of her continent. It's a world where hunters and enforcers are treated like celebrities. She knows the training will help her fulfil her revenge plans and become a renowned hunter. And maybe along the way she will find another mate. But the twist of fate, deception and seduction from the man who is supposed to refer her to the Orion Academy leaves her with a curse and a tainted reputation. A curse which prevents her mate/mates from recognising her and prevents Amaia from informing them of who she is to them. As it turns out, Amaia is mated to hybrid Alphas of Orion, but none of them can feel the mate bond, and they believe she wants to seduce them. “Have some dignity, Amaia. You abandoned your mate and are now trying your seduction techniques on me. I have a fiancée.” Glares Alnilam, her first mate. “Don't look at me like that, lassie. I am saving myself for my mate.” Winks Alnitak, her second mate. “Stay away from me. You are not my mate,” scolds Mintaka, her third mate. “I will bring a garland constructed from your ex-mate's bones. How dare he hurt you?” Determination flashes in the eyes of Rigel, her fourth mate. Every time they turn her down and choose to be intimate with their chosen females, she feels every ounce of pain and hurt. Amidst the chaos and heartache in a place where enemies hide in plain sight. Can Amaia break this curse and have her mates recognise her as theirs? Does she have four mates or is there another twist hidden? Will she become a successful hunter and keep her identity hidden from the world and at the same time carry out her revenge? Read on to find out.

THE UNBROKEN Gothic Romance • Spiritual Rebellion • Fantasy Horror VOLUME 1: Elena Rosaria was born in chains. Branded by the Church of Saintess Yidali, betrayed by her own blood, and forced to survive in the shadows of an empire that hunts her kind. But then her life collides with Viscount Seamus Matteo- a brooding heir with a taste for danger and a heart drawn to her fire. Their connection sparks a forbidden passion that defies the Church’s rule. As war brews between the old faith and a rising resistance, Elena must reckon with a violent past, prophetic visions, and the price of power. Seamus would burn the world to protect her. But it is Niegal Matteo, his exiled uncle and a gifted healer, who may hold the key to not only Elena’s survival, but the fate of magic itself. In a land of holy inquisitions, blood-bound magic, and saints who are not what they seem, three haunted souls must choose: surrender to the roles they were born into… or become something unbroken. VOLUME 2: Elena and Niegal Matteo were more than happy to live in the bayous of Marisiana as political heads of the Resistance against the Church of Saintess Yidali. With the full backing of the United Territories and the Coabey Coalition, they planned on raising their beloved daughter, Esperanza, to practice her mother’s storm magic as a divine child of the Storm and Lion. But when trouble finds them from across the sea, in the ancestral lands of the Matteo’s, Veracchia, Elena and Niegal must race against time, and the Church, to save their family from a fate worse then death. Can love survive the aftermath of war? Can they survive the truth of the Matteo bloodline, even if it costs them everything? VOLUME 3: Years after the events of Volume 2, the vessels of Guabancex and El León Negro reckon with the death of the Behike. Niegal faces increasingly disturbing visions and a god who grows more restless and wrathful by the day, and Elena contends with the public increasingly demanding the goddess within to become something she could never be. When a mysterious stranger arrives and triggers something dangerous in Esperanza, the family must travel to rescue her from the clutches of a dangerous cult who wants nothing more than to make the divine child their Queen. Elena and Niegal face their greatest challenge yet. His wrath pushes her away, and the kindness of a stranger saved by the compulsion of Guabancex makes Elena question everything they’ve built. Can love survive divine wrath and destiny? For a family of magic and fate, nothing could ever come easy.

Book Title: One Yr, No Promises One Yr, No Promises is a romantic drama series that begins with a simple agreement and slowly evolves into an emotional journey about love, choice, and staying when the world demands distance. She is young, outspoken, and emotionally scarred by abandonment, yet stubbornly hopeful about love. He is powerful, disciplined, and raised in a world where emotions are liabilities and relationships are transactions. When circumstances force them into a one-year contract relationship, the rules are clear: no love, no future, no promises beyond the expiration date. Living together turns out to be far more complicated than signing papers. What starts as awkward coexistence quickly fills with comedic moments, sharp arguments, accidental tenderness, and quiet nights that blur emotional boundaries. They clash, tease, and challenge each other, slowly becoming the one place where the other feels seen. Without realizing it, they begin to depend on each other—not because of obligation, but because separation starts to feel wrong. But love is never allowed to grow freely. Family pressure, power struggles, media scrutiny, and carefully hidden agendas threaten to tear them apart. The closer they get, the harder the world pushes back. Silence is demanded. Distance is encouraged. Walking away is always presented as the “reasonable” choice. As the contract nears its end, the real question emerges: Was the relationship ever fake—or was pretending the only lie? Blending romance, comedy, and deeply emotional moments, One Yr, No Promises explores first love, fear of abandonment, pride, and the courage it takes to remain visible in a world that benefits from silence. The story delivers laughter, heartbreak, and lessons about self-worth, integrity, and choosing love without guarantees. This is not a story about forever being promised. It is a story about choosing love every day— even when tomorrow is uncertain.
