Ember & Crown

The_Open_Book
In a kingdom where magic is forbidden and the future is written in stars, destiny has chosen its players but it never asked them how they felt about it. When young warlock Merlin arrives in Camelot, he expects to hide in the shadows. Instead, he finds himself face-to-face with Prince Arthur Pendragon arrogant, golden, and already raising his sword against a peasant. Merlin should hate him. Instead, he sees a flame that mirrors his own: fierce, dangerous, and impossibly bright. Tasked with protecting Arthur in secret, Merlin becomes the prince’s unlikely manservant and reluctant confidant. But as war looms and court politics grow bloodier by the day, Merlin’s bond with Arthur deepens. What begins as duty transforms into something more something forbidden. In a world where magic is a death sentence and the throne leaves no room for love, their connection threatens everything: Camelot’s fragile peace, the fate of Albion, and their own hearts. With the prophecy whispering of a prince destined to unite the land and a sorcerer who walks beside him, Merlin must navigate loyalty, secrecy, and desire. Gwen, a loyal ally and one of the few who knows the truth, helps him walk the knife’s edge between two lives. But the closer Arthur and Merlin become, the harder it is to keep the truth buried and the more dangerous it becomes to let it rise. Ember & Crown is a slow-burn romantic fantasy about the weight of duty, the peril of secrets, and the courage it takes to choose love in a world that forbids it. Ember & Crown is a fanfic based on the show Merlin and the plots are closely similar from the original plot.

Reborn as the Apocalypse: My Divine Harem and The Omega Exchange

I am not a god. I am the Cycle of Destruction and Rebirth itself. In the previous eon, I was betrayed. The women I trusted—my so-called soulmates—stabbed me in the back, forcing my destructive laws to go berserk and wipe out an entire civilization. Now, I’ve awakened in a modern world where Aetheric energy is just returning. I am weak, my memories are fractured, and the apocalyptic toxin inside me is threatening to tear this new era apart. My only anchor? The Omega Exchange, an ancient entity bound to my soul, hiding in the shadows of the world's most hypocritical faction: The Divine Temple. To survive and reclaim my cosmic throne, I must balance two paths: Flesh to suppress the Destruction. Soul to ignite the Rebirth. In my eyes, the women of this world are no longer equals. They are divided into a strict, unforgiving hierarchy: 1. Fuel (The Contaminated): Fake saints and worthless parasites. Good for nothing but raw energy to be ruthlessly burned and consumed by the Exchange. 2. Vessels (The Release): Beautiful, but lacking true essence. Their only purpose is to absorb my violent urges and satisfy my primal lust. No attachments. No mercy. 3. Spirit-Rhyme (The Resonant): Rare, brilliant souls that resonate with the abyss. They are my eyes in the shadows, my branded priestesses. I conquer their minds and shatter their sanity long before I ever claim their flesh. 4. Apex-Tier (The True Origins): The flawless, singular few. Bearers of the universe's ultimate laws. Only they are worthy of absolute possession, my protection, and ruling the ashes of the next era by my side. This time, I will not be deceived by fake affection or holy masks. I will solve the mysteries of this recovering world, unmask the traitors hiding in the Divine Temple, and violently take back what is mine. Those who submit will reign. Those who deceive me will be reduced to dust. ======= Thank you to all our readers for your incredible support!

My Alpha Husband is a Beast

What happens when the world's deadliest werewolf hunter falls for her most dangerous target? Scarlett Hunter has one rule: never let them live. For nine years, she's been the supernatural world's most feared assassin, hunting down rogue werewolves with ruthless precision. So when she receives a million-dollar contract to capture Alexander Kane—the most powerful Alpha on the West Coast—it should be just another job. But Alexander Kane has a secret that changes everything. Instead of running, he begs her to help him. Cursed to lose his humanity three nights every month, he's desperate enough to trust his life to his would-be killer. The solution lies in Scarlett's blood—literally. Her touch can tame the beast inside him, but the intimacy required creates a dangerous addiction neither of them saw coming. As their blood bond deepens into something far more dangerous than desire, Scarlett discovers the truth about her own mysterious past. She's not just any hunter—she's the last survivor of an extinct werewolf bloodline, and her former mentor has been orchestrating her entire life to harvest her unique genetic gifts. Now caught between the man she's falling for and the mentor who made her everything she is, Scarlett must decide: complete her mission and claim her revenge, or protect the Alpha who's awakened something wild and untamed in her heart. But in a world where love bites back, some contracts are written in blood—and some debts can only be paid with your soul. A steamy paranormal romance featuring a badass female assassin, a cursed billionaire Alpha, and enough sexual tension to set your Kindle on fire. Perfect for fans of Patricia Briggs and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
