"Hell is empty and all the devils are here."

On the cusp of the 20th century, blue blood heiress Lucy Penn has lost everything: her betrothed, her family and home, and even her ability to walk in the sunlight. As she struggles to acclimate to her new nocturnal existence, she makes the acquaintance of Dr. Thomas Reed: an intelligent and tortured immortal, still haunted by the horrors of his past.

As the pair grow closer, Lucy becomes privy to a frightening world far below the surface of polite society, in which beings of ancient and unfathomable power live outside the confines of humanity.

Carpe Noctem (or "Seize the Night") follows Lucy on her journey through the shrouded streets, eerie hospitals, and aristocratic parlors of nighttime London.

As she seeks to exhume the insidious and terrifying purpose behind her transformation, Lucy finds herself drawn deeper into a dark nocturne world of unimaginable folklore and intrigue, begging the question: can love be found after death?

His Blood Her Battle by rdvalheart

They stole my life. Ravished my body. Stripped me of my name until I became nothing but a number: Phoenix 1721, the most prized strip dancer in France's trafficking underworld. Amidst my oblivion, they shattered me, piece by piece, leaving behind a lifeless girl with no one to call hers. But then I met him, a fellow captive: Fernand, Werewolf 2786. He was fierce, bound by his own chains, yet mended my shattered heart. For him, I sold pieces of myself, bartered in a place where love could cost me my soul. Together, we inscribed our names in the soft flesh of our hearts, promising eternity. But our vows were fragile in the face of him, the man cloaked in shadows who tore me away. His obsession twisted into chains that bound me tighter each day. His hunger was a prison I could not escape, his whispers a poison that seeped into my dreams. Yet still, a spark remains within. My soul cries out, free. They call me a Phoenix, but one day, I vow to rise from the ashes.
