If you loved Fourth Wing’s dragons and Harry Potter’s magic houses, and The Magicians dangerous prophecies... welcome to Velastara, where the line between power and ruin blurs in flame.

But one girl carries a bond stronger than them all — one that could save the realm or unmake it.
Elowyn died once before.
This time, fate brought her back burning.
With brothers she never knew, love that borders on ruin, and enemies who circle like wolves, she must decide if her fire will save the realm… or consume it.

A girl who was never meant to survive.
A kingdom trembling on the edge of ruin.
One girl bears phoenix fire powerful enough to defy destiny itself.
The phoenix has risen — and she will not kneel.

The Lightkeeper
If you loved Resident Evil’s lethal creation, Love For My Zombie Kings’ dangerous devotion, and The 100’s ruthless alliances… step into Revenant’s Dawn, where the dead don’t stay buried and neither do secrets.
The government promised salvation. They cured disease, erased weakness, and built soldiers who couldn’t die. But when perfection rotted from the inside out, humanity fell — and what rose in its place was hunger.
Nikol Skye wakes in a blood-soaked alley with no memory, no allies, and a name she isn’t sure is her own. The only thing she knows is how to survive. But survival becomes something darker when the dead begin to listen to her voice.
Hunted by the very people who made her, Nikol learns the truth: she was one of their experiments, built to obey and unleashed to prove the program worked. Now they want their weapon back.
But Nikol refuses to bend.
In the ruins of a dying world, she’ll forge her own army, her own family, her own kind of vengeance.
Torn between men who see the monster in her and men who would burn the world to keep her free, Nikol must decide whether she’ll save what’s left of humanity… or finish what the scientists started.
In this world, death is an experiment, love is rebellion, and monsters are the only ones worth saving.
If you loved Until the End of the World’s aching romance, Flame in the Mist’s fierce defiance, The Dead Tossed Waves’ crumbling refuge, and Z Nation’s dark humor… welcome to After the End, where danger flirts, desire bites back, and survival always costs something.
The world has fallen to the dead. Cities crumble, silence reigns, and survival depends on how far you’re willing to go to keep breathing.
Gwen knows this better than anyone.
She’s lived by two rules since the outbreak began: nowhere is safe — only safer — and people will do anything to survive.
When a walled city offers refuge from the chaos, she takes the risk, hoping for rest in the ruins. But behind the barricades lie secrets and desperation waiting to rot through the walls. When safety proves an illusion, Gwen must choose: remain in a city destined to fall, or return to the wasteland that never promised mercy.
Then there’s him — the man she should fear, but can’t stop wanting. Dangerous. Defiant. Unforgivably alive.
Together, they’ll face the kind of threats that no wall can hold back — both outside the city and within their own hearts.
Out there, the dead are predictable. It’s the living she doesn’t trust — especially the man whose dark past and infuriating charm might be the only thing standing between her and the grave.
In a world where survival means sacrifice, and love is the most dangerous risk of all, Gwen must decide what’s worth saving… and who she’s willing to burn for.
A gritty, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance for readers who crave danger, dark humor, and a spark that refuses to die.
Forgotten: Hallowvale Witches, Book 1
Survivor: Infected Series, Book 1
If you loved The Witching Hour’s cursed bloodlines, The Magicians’ dangerous power, and Charmed’s witch-born rebellion… welcome to Forgotten, where memory is a weapon, love won’t let go, and evil has a long memory.
Four centuries ago, Dela burned Hallowvale clean.
The coven she once called family had fallen to a darkness so consuming that the only way to destroy it was to destroy them too. The world moved on, believing the evil dead and its witch savior gone with it.
But Dela never died.
Her rare gift of regeneration means she heals from every wound, lives through every age, and carries the memory of what she destroyed. Now, that same corruption is spreading again — and someone has brought back what she buried.
To stop it, Dela must return to the ruins of her past and face the truth she left in ashes. But when three blood-bound brothers arrive, each claiming to protect her, she realizes the fight ahead isn’t only for survival — it’s for her heart, her magic, and the fragile line between vengeance and redemption.
Where immortality comes with a cost, love cuts deepest of all, and some evils never stay dead.
If you loved Warm Bodies’ aching humanity, Rebirth’s forbidden tenderness, and Z Nation’s reckless found family… welcome to the world of The Survivor, where memory is a weapon, trust is a gamble, and people are more dangerous than the dead.
Emmy wakes with no memory — no name, no past, no reason she’s still alive. Before she can take her first breath, she’s thrown into an arena surrounded by the dead, forced to fight or be torn apart. When she escapes, the world waiting beyond the walls offers no answers — only ruins, hunger, and the same monsters that tried to kill her inside.
Guided by a stranger who swears he knows her, Emmy searches for the truth buried beneath the infection. But the deeper she ventures into the wasteland, the clearer it becomes that the living are far more ruthless than the undead — and that her lost past may be the key to both.
Her fight isn’t just to stay alive — it’s to remember why she should.
Where survival means sacrifice, trust cuts deeper than teeth, and sometimes the monsters wear human faces.
If you loved The Handmaid’s Tale’s ruthless control, Matched’s forbidden defiance, and Wither’s fragile hope, step into the world of The Last Daughters, where loyalty meets desire and love is the biggest rebellion of all.
When the Regime seized control, they rewrote every rule of life and love. Women became “registered assets” — trained, assigned, and delivered to the men deemed worthy to own them.
At twenty, Eden’s name is drawn from the Registry and her fate sealed: four men, chosen to protect, provide, and possess her. They are supposed to be her cage. Instead, they might become her reason to fight.
As rebellion stirs beneath the surface of the Regime, Eden is torn between the world that raised her and the men who challenge everything she was told to be. Each of them carries their own scars — soldiers, survivors, unwilling enforcers — and together they awaken a fire she was never meant to feel.
But freedom comes with a cost, and rebellion bleeds from the inside out.
When war ignites and secrets unravel, Eden must decide whether her heart can be her weapon… or the thing that breaks her.
In a world built to control her, she’ll discover the power of choosing for herself.
If you loved King of Battle and Blood’s brutal passion, One Dark Window’s seductive corruption, and A Ruin of Roses’ raw dominance… step into The Lightkeeper, where salvation feels like sin and love wears the face of your captor.
Lilly once believed in the kings. The court burned that out of her. Now, summoned back to the capitol after years in hiding, she finds herself entangled in the games of nine kings — each with power enough to unmake her.
When she’s taken by one of the most dangerous men in the realm — a royal forged from shadow and rage — she becomes both his prisoner and his prize. Chosen to lead his crusade to remake the realm in his image, Lilly must decide if her light can survive his darkness… or if she must become something darker to survive.
Light and shadow.
Duty and desire.
He is her enemy.
She might be his salvation.
And together, they will either be the realm’s salvation… or its doom.
This is a world where love is a weapon, loyalty is lethal, and crowns do not ask to be worn — they claim you.
