VOLUME 1 TRILOGIA ILHA DO CORVO — Eu não amo você. — murmurei. Ele deixou seu vinho de lado e se levantou, devagar ele diminuiu a distância entre nós, e com a ponta dos dedos tocou meu queixo, seu olhar vagou para minha boca e depois permaneceu em meus olhos. — Eu também não a amo princesa, e nem pretendo. Ele disse essas palavras com total frieza e se afastou se sentando novamente e isso me enfureceu. — Por que lutar em um torneio pela minha mão então? tudo isso porque sou uma princesa? —disparei. — Você é uma princesa Lancaster e eu preciso de um herdeiro digno. — Eu desejo que meu ventre seja seco como as areias do deserto, comandante. Ele me encarou e vi um lampejo de raiva em seus olhos negros, mas no mesmo instante ele o escondeu e colocou seu sorriso cínico no lugar. — Então nesse caso teríamos que tentar muitas vezes querida, até que seu ventre se torne menos seco, eu tentaria pelo resto da vida até. — rebateu maliciosamente. Em um torneio pela mão da princesa Helena Lancaster ela vê seu destino se cruzar com John Chase, um comandante e guerreiro temível, com uma personalidade peculiar ele era tudo que ela detestava, possessivo, audacioso, autoritário, e dominante ao extremo, e ele era o que mais tinha chances de ganhar o torneio por sua mão.

Uma Ilha repleta de homens misteriosos, com seus próprios segredos e conflitos, e ela seria senhora deles, logo Helena descobriria que um grande perigo a ronda na ilha, poderia ela confiar no marido para protegê-la?

​Ji Yun (孤云 - Awan Sendirian) lahir dengan noda yang disebut 'Tanda Sanghyang'—sebuah kutukan yang membuat Akar Spiritualnya lumpuh dan memberinya batas hidup kultivasi yang singkat. Ia adalah yang terbuang dari Sekte Pedang Gerbang Utara, yang hanya menganggapnya sebagai pelayan, bukan murid. Di dunia Xianxia yang didominasi oleh kekuasaan dan tingkat kultivasi, kelemahan ini adalah hukuman mati. Dalam upaya putus asa untuk memperpanjang hidupnya (Ticking Clock), Ji Yun menemukan warisan tak terduga: sisa-sisa kesadaran seorang alkemis kuno yang pernah dikutuk oleh Kaisar Surgawi karena menentang Dao Agung. Alkemis ini mewariskan kepadanya pengetahuan terlarang: seni kultivasi Primal Qi yang melampaui energi Qi normal dan filosofi Taois kuno tentang penyempurnaan tiga harta: Jing (Esensi), Qi (Energi), dan Shen (Roh). ​Perjalanan Ji Yun dimulai bukan hanya untuk mencari kekuatan, tetapi untuk mencari kebenaran di balik kutukannya. Ia menemukan bahwa leluhurnya dituduh mencuri fragmen dari Sembilan Kuali Surga (Tripods of the Firmament)—artefak kuno yang mampu mengontrol energi kosmik Tiga Alam. ​Dipaksa untuk meninggalkan sektenya dan melarikan diri dari pengejaran Sekte Naga Giok (yang secara diam-diam bekerja untuk Surga), Ji Yun harus menaiki Tangga Kultivasi dengan kecepatan yang menakutkan, mengatasi Turnamen Regional dan menjelajahi Gua Warisan kuno. Ia berkonflik dengan Kaisar Surgawi dan birokrasi langit, yang memandang semua kultivator sebagai subjek yang harus tunduk pada Wu Wei (Non-Tindakan) mereka sendiri. Ji Yun harus memilih: menerima takdirnya dan mati damai sesuai Mandat Langit, atau menentang seluruh tatanan kosmik untuk menulis ulang Dao (Jalur) miliknya sendiri.

Not a lie anymore but a fucking truth... I want to say it to him. He stopped and looked back. “Now, don’t waste time. Apologise...”  In a split second, I was caught off guard by his words, causing me to respond with something unexpected and completely out of character. “Let’s get a divorce,” I did not even let him finish his words… (Book 1: Completed ch1-ch156) ************ Book 2: Greetings, Mr. Husband (Ongoing, started immediately after Book 1)

After graduation, I spend a year interning with my mentor, a healer, out in the neutral lands—no packs, no laws, and no one to protect me. My brother, the Lycan Chairman of all werewolves, nearly loses his mind over it. He's terrified I'll fall for some Rogue and impulsively form a reckless mate bond. As such, he handpicks an arranged mate for me—Falcon Sterling, the Alpha of the strongest pack in Northmere. He's handsome and dangerous, a legendary figure. My brother orders me to come home for the mating ceremony, so I have no choice but to go pick out a Luna crown. At the jewelry shop, my eyes snap straight to a crown made of pure silver and covered in diamonds. Just as I reach out to take it, a sharp female voice cuts in. "I like the one she's holding. I'll take it. Hand it over." Before I can react, the clerk snatches the crown right out of my hands, nearly scraping my skin. I straighten up, forcing myself to stay calm. "Ever heard of 'first come, first served?' I saw it first. Is this how you do things here?" The she-wolf slowly turns toward me, casting me a long, mocking look. "This crown costs 300 thousand dollars. You sure you can afford it, peasant? I grew up with the Alpha of the Silvermoon pack, Falcon Sterling. Around here, I make the rules." I stare at her, almost laughing. Isn't that funny? Falcon just happens to be my arranged mate. I pull out my phone and press the call button. "Hey, Falcon. Your adorable childhood sweetheart just stole the Luna crown I'm supposed to wear for the mating ceremony. What do you think I should do about that?"
