*This novel contains dark fantasy themes, mature romance, violence, psychological trauma, seduction, and morally complex situations. Reader discretion is advised.* A stolen childhood, a found family, and the night Hell finally found them. Escaping poverty and loss, Victoria finally found peace with her stepfamily—until strange, non-human entities tore her world apart. Left bleeding on the road, hovering between life and death, she was met by an Angel—not a savior, but a Dealer of Fate. Her survival came with a cruel contract: Her family's lives in exchange for her soul—forever. Victoria was reborn with terrifying supernatural power. But every ability demands a price bound by merciless rules: a constant need to 'recharge' through intimacy, governed by true emotion, unavoidable attachment, and destined heartbreak. She can never risk falling twice. As Victoria is dragged deeper into the shadows, she uncovers the truth of Dark Heaven, a twisted realm ruled by Kill Wish (Aethna Montaug)—an expelled Angel obsessed with replacing God Himself. Aethna hunts a divine artifact called the Body Shield, a weapon shattered into twenty-one pieces that promises immortality and absolute power. What Victoria doesn't know—until it’s too late—is that one of those pieces is hidden within her own body. Her soul is already sold, but the fate of every world now rests in her hands. Will her reluctant power save the worlds caught between Heaven and Hell, desire and betrayal?

Ilyra Noem was never meant to live in the shadows of power, but for years she kept an empire together without saying a word. As the wife of billionaire Ruvan Calderic, she worked without a title, power, or recognition, stopping disasters that no one could have seen coming. It was difficult to see how smart she was. No one has written down her sacrifices. Her access ended with her marriage. The Calderic Group starts to break apart in small but dangerous ways when Ilyra disappears. Contracts don't work. There are holes in oversight. People in charge pay attention. The man who once thought that power could replace loyalty now knows that he can't get back what he lost by using force. Ilyra doesn't come back to beg. She comes back as an independent expert who is untouchable, controlled, and ready. Questions shift from business to personal responsibilities, revealing their past and serving as evidence. Being quiet becomes a problem. Distance becomes unfeasible. Every attempt to conceal the truth demonstrated the deep connection between their lives. This story isn't about forgiving someone right away. It's the story of a woman who won't be forgotten just because she was loved and then left. It's also about power being regained and boundaries being enforced. Once people are held accountable, the focus changes from figuring out what went wrong to resolving the problem at its source. But who will have to manage the results?

She is deaf. She is alone. She is running out of time. Evelyn Raine was born silent, but her mind has always screamed. A world that never heard her words, never understood her thoughts—until now. Eighteen days. That’s all she has to live. Eighteen days to do what no one expects. Eighteen days to rewrite her story in blood, in fire, in silence. What would you do if the world ignored you? If every door was closed, every voice turned away? Most would cry, most would beg… but Evelyn? She writes her own rules. She lists the things no one dares to dream. She plans the things no one dares to act on. And as each tick on her bucket list falls, the shadows grow. The snow melts into red, the city trembles, and the people around her—innocent or guilty—will feel the cold edge of her justice. This is not a story of mistakes. This is a story of hatred perfected over years. Of survival, obsession, and a mind that has learned the darkest ways to get what it wants. You will watch her. You will try to understand her. But in the end… you will feel the pull of her silence, and you will wonder what you would do if you were her. Evelyn Raine is coming. And she has a list. And she will not stop.

He is something far rarer, far more dangerous, a Null Omega, the first seen in generations. When secrets are exposed and loyalty is tested. Cadiz is left to choose between staying the disgrace of his family... or rise as an Omega who could bring the empire to its knees.

Ember Ashford is broken goods in a world that worships strength. Born wolfless in a society ruled by shifters, she's spent nineteen years as her pack's punching bag—including her own father's. When he dies and her mother remarries into the legendary Crimson Moon Pack, Ember thinks her nightmare might finally end. She's wrong. Her new stepbrothers are the pack's elite: Kael, the ruthless future Alpha with eyes like winter storms; Damon, the dangerous enforcer whose cruelty is an art form; and Asher, the charming Beta whose smile hides calculated games. They're gorgeous, powerful, and united in one belief—she doesn't belong in their world. The bullying starts immediately. Cruel words. Public humiliation. "Reminders" that she's weak, worthless, wolfless. Ember takes it all silently, just like she's been trained to do. She'll survive this. She always does. But something shifts the night another pack member corners her in the training hall. Suddenly, Kael's hand is at the wolf's throat, murder in his eyes. "Touch her again, and I'll rip out your spine." When a rival Alpha shows interest in Ember at the inter-pack gathering, Damon marks her neck with a possessive bite that isn't quite a claim but definitely a warning. When boys from her college try to ask her out, Asher appears from nowhere, all dangerous charm: "Our sister has higher standards than desperate mutts." Their sister. Right. Except the way they look at her—hungry, conflicted, burning—has nothing to do with family. "We can bully her," Kael growls at a pack warrior who dared call Ember names. "But no one else touches what belongs to us." Belongs to them? Ember isn't anyone's property. But when she discovers she's not actually wolfless—she's something far more dangerous, something that was sealed away to protect her—everything changes. The brothers who tormented her suddenly have competition: powerful Alphas who want to claim the rare Omega whose bloodline could change the shifter world forever. Now Kael, Damon, and Asher face an impossible choice: let Ember go to worthy mates who could give her everything... or break every taboo to keep the girl who was never supposed to be theirs. Too bad for everyone else. These wolves don't share. And forbidden never tasted this good.

Twenty two year old Fumiko goes to sleep rage-scrolling a “generic straight romance” otome game and wakes up inside it with a holographic HUD floating in front of her face. Title:Crimson Heirs of Everflame Player Character:Lady Fiametta von Ardentis Role: Villainess / Final Calamity Status: Terminally Ill (Irreversible) Genre:FIRE The body in the mirror isn’t her own: it’s the outrageously beautiful noblewoman destined to be the game’s last boss and most hated villainess. In the original *Crimson Heirs of Everflame*, Fiametta’s only endings were imprisonment, execution, or a beautifully animated death. Now, the system insists her illness is incurable even as she feels disturbingly healthy and the so called “FIRE” genre quietly explains itself: heightened emotions, irreversible consequences, and “reality bleed-through.” Worse, all the flags are wrong. The four powerful heroines who were supposed to loathe Fiametta now have their affection maxed out: * Crown Princess Seraphine , who announces their political engagement and clings like a devoted fiancée who would burn the world before letting Fia vanish. * Knight-Captain Elira, the empire’s sword, assigned as Fiametta’s personal escort. * Archmage Lyriel , whose cold logic melts whenever Fia’s name is mentioned. * Saintess Mira, the empire’s holy light, who prays for Fia with frightening intensity. In the game, they were routes Fumiko chased as a player. In this world, they are women who love Fiametta too much to let her go and perhaps too much to let her be free. Caught between a body marked by a terminal countdown, four heroines whose love already burns at maximum, and a system that treats reality like a script it can overwrite, Fumiko has to think like the gamer she used to be: * Map the routes in a world that no longer follows its own code. * Discover what “FIRE” really demands from its players. * Hack a fate labeled irreversible before the genre turns her life and the women who love her into ash. In a universe where love is fuel and every choice can ignite a catastrophe, the villainess of *Crimson Heirs of Everflame* must decide: Is she trying to survive her own story… or willing to burn with them, if that’s the only ending left?
