Summary
Within the centre of high society, the Salvatore name was of considerable prestige. Prosperous and illustrious, a family of aristocratic and noble blood; rumoured to even be of royal decent - rumoured to be a lot of things actually; privacy brought upon the wildest of tales, and this maybe-royal family was nothing if not a private family.
In the age of the Renaissance, the Salvatore siblings grow up among riches and beauty. But not without drama and strife that must be hidden from the constant stalking eyes of the public. Amidst arranged marriages and secret courtships, Giuseppe Salvatore invites a young lady to enjoy the year as their guest, one who catches the eyes of two of the brothers.
Dangerous and seductive, Katherine Pierce weaves herself into the family, as friend and lover. However the monsters she runs from are crawling up her heels, vengeful and now covetous of the powerful position the Salvatore name holds within Florence.
As the eldest Regina Cornelia Salvatore raises her family but as a woman she is pulled by the whims of her father. However, in these vampires, she sees a power possible to wield her own future.

Summary
A remake of my very first Fanfiction story. Halloween 2022 marked the 20th year anniversary of when the first BloodRayne game was released, and August 4, 2023 will be ten years since I published my very first fanfic story: “BloodRayne: Chronicles of Blood – Origins". How time flies! I like to view this remake as the new and improved version of my first work – correcting the previous story’s mistakes and adding more detail to it. I hope you all enjoy it.
My original story is on Fanfiction if you would like to read it under my pen name The History Queen.

Summary
Did Donghyuck think Prince Jeno was a bad person? He had been trained by personal experience to believe everyone was. Even he himself was expected to do bad things when he became a king. He knew he would have to fight that inclination for the rest of his life, not do unto others what had been done unto him. Were there more like-minded people out there with goodness in their hearts? Donghyuck could only pray.
Alternatively; only in meeting Prince Jeno of the South does Prince Donghyuck, the heir to the northern throne, finally decide to abandon the lonely monotony of his upbringing and reach eagerly for his sprawling destiny.

Summary
To celebrate a milestone for this series (details in my profile), I wanted to share a piece of upcoming work with you.
This is an excerpt from the expanded version of Swallowed by the Shadows. A glimpse of Nyxarion and Erevos hunting for brides in the Mortal Realm, before the tribute system was established.
This scene isn’t posted anywhere else yet, and I wanted my AO3 readers to see it first. The full story will come later. For now, consider this a taste of what’s ahead.
Roanoke, 1589.
In the same year the tribute system is forged, Nyxarion and Erevos walk the Mortal Realm in secret: watching, waiting, and choosing with care. When illness, hunger, and superstition collide beneath a full moon, first contact is made not through fear or conquest, but healing, firelight, and dance.This excerpt explores Shadow–human contact in the Mortal Realm, the birth of the Eating Houses concept, and the night Nyxarion learned to dance.
A standalone historical vignette from the Shadow Realm series.

Summary
Rebellion and revenge have bloomed into war. England is torn between two Queen's - the Catholic Queen Mary, who has aligned herself with the Spanish and currently blooming with child and the Protestant Queen Elizabeth, who has forged a pack with the formidable Captain Kett of Norfolk.
Elizabeth might have the army, but London is a formidable city. Though Captain Robert Kett is a excellent tactician and fierce ally, he has recently been bruised by the revelation of his relationship with Matthew Shardlake - not only the man he loves, but the father of his only daughter out of wedlock. Despite the support of the Queen, their positions at the heart of the rebellion are hardly secure and there are sharks circling waiting to strike at both at the first sign of weakness.
Meanwhile, an evil lurks close by in the shadows, slipping through a village unseen, wreaking havoc and terror. Not too far from Warwick Castle, a killer lurks. Justice is about to be torn up at the roots and the country set afire with war. Which Queen will rise at the end? And who will be by her side when she does?
