Four kingdoms. One hunted girl.
Powerful rulers want her dead, but destiny has other plans-plans that could burn the world to ash.

A thousand years after the world burned, four kingdoms rose from the ashes-ruled by immortal monarchs and guarded by shadows, fire, and blood.

Venya has spent her life on the run, hiding what she is: a Grim. Monsters like her are executed without mercy. Branded dangerous, haunted by a violent past, and bound by magic that cannot hold forever, she knows survival is only temporary.

When she is captured and thrown into the heart of the Dark Kingdoms, Venya finds herself entangled in a deadly game of power, betrayal, and forbidden desire. The rulers of this world would see her destroyed, yet the King of Death sees something else in her-a weapon... or a weakness.

As war brews and loyalty is tested, Venya must decide:
Will she embrace the darkness within her?
Or will she fight to prove that monsters can choose their own fate?

Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, slow-burn romance, and morally gray characters-Dance of the Damned will pull you into a world where love is dangerous, survival is bloody, and destiny is damning.

This book will consume you.

The Shattered One by -Luneth

This is an original work, so if you plan to offer something, don't. She woke up fractured, wrong, and forgotten. The world she once knew is gone, twisted by a cataclysm known only as The Fade. Now, forests breathe, light drips like water, and creatures mimic human voices with uncanny precision. Time bends in impossible ways, and raw emotion manifests into monsters. Nothing is natural. Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
