Synopsis

“—Icarus isn't back yet,” Andromeda commented, adjusting the gears with her fingers. His pale hands have turned black, smeared to the wrists with grease- And the sun is almost setting. Ianthe stared at the Exiled Princess. The ominous wind of that dying afternoon blew dark hair against her face with the same gravity with which a condemned man would draw his last breath. "He has to hurry," Ianthe murmured. "The moon is waning." Bad things happen in the dark.” The Dead Goddess, the Fallen Angel, and the Exiled Princess are the last keepers of the Lighthouse, which protects the mortal realm from darkness.

“The lighthouse is undoubtedly my favorite tale. An original mythology created by Lady L, and like everything she does, this work is also perfect! With a Steampunk set and theme, an air of fantasy, mystery and drama that make you goose bumps. Each event fits the following, as well as the gears of a clock, and everything makes sense. But at the same time, you get even more curious to find out more about this fascinating universe here created by the author. With iconic characters, you cling to them very easy. The mythology created is to make it curious so well that it is. And a simply perfect narrative! The lighthouse is one of the best works you will read. Once again Lady L surpasses the high expectations and creates a perfect work. Read the headlight. Read the works of simply divine, Lady L.”

Lady Evangeline Greystone believes that attraction is just chemistry: dopamine and adrenaline. The daughter of a duke, a mathematician by training, and the owner of an entirely planned life, she spends a few days in Las Vegas, away from her family and the spotlight, when she meets in a dark bar a man with a dominant gaze who says no more than his first name. Four nights of sex, secrets, and anonymity later, each goes their own way, certain that it is over. A month later, two pink lines change everything. And he is not just a man with secrets: he is the crown prince of Azhar, and her baby is the future of a kingdom. Now there is a palace, a kingdom, and a single demand: marry. Not for love, but out of duty.

Within the cold walls of the Albatroz palace, Prince Arthur lives suffocated by crowns and rules of etiquette. In the humble coastal village, the peasant girl Amélia spends her days picking fruit and tending her garden. Two completely different worlds collide when Arthur flees the castle and stumbles into Amélia's basket of apples. What begins as an awkward encounter turns into a forbidden love that will defy the laws of the kingdom. But fate holds a greater mystery: an ancient legend in the village says that the sea will exact a tribute from royalty, taking a daughter whom everyone will mourn as dead, but who will actually become the greatest Captain of the Seas of all time. The Prince and the Peasant Girl is the thrilling story of love, overcoming, and mystery that serves as the origin for the legend of the Pirate Princess.

"The fire in the hearth never truly goes out. It merely waits for new firewood." Apparently abandoned, this old mansion harbors countless horrors, and those who dare to explore its secrets may discover that the greatest danger lurks not only between its walls, but also among themselves. Whether because they received a mysterious invitation, because a friend disappeared, or simply out of curiosity to explore the manor, everyone will eventually discover that, inside, nothing happens by chance — except, perhaps, the arrangement of the rooms. If they want to survive, they will need to pay attention to every detail and unravel the residence's greatest secret before it is too late. But one question remains: why, with each new visit, does the fire in the hearth seem to burn more intensely?
