The Crown & Sword (price x knight HOT BL ROMANCE) by samayra queen

The Crown & Sword: Synopsis In the shadowed corridors of the Kingdom of Aethelgard, a story lies trapped between bloodshed and innocence. It begins on a storm-ridden night, when twelve-year-old Prince Elian hides in a dark corner of the palace, trembling under the fear of his strict mother, the Queen. His heart is so tender that even broken flowers can bring tears to his eyes. Fragile. Gentle. Too soft for a kingdom forged in steel. Then the darkness parts. A shadow steps forward. Knight Alaric. Eight years older than the Prince—only twenty, yet already feared as the most dangerous bodyguard in the realm. They say he can slaughter thirty to forty enemies without hesitation. Death lingers in his emerald gaze… while fear trembles in Elian’s tear-filled eyes. The First Meeting When the sobbing Prince looks up, he sees Alaric standing before him—sword still stained with blood. “Are… are you here to punish me?” Elian whispers. “Did Mother send you?” For a heartbeat, silence. Then the towering knight lowers himself to one knee and slides his sword back into its sheath. “No, Your Highness,” he says quietly. “I am here to be your shadow. As long as I stand, no cruelty and no blade will ever touch your innocence.” And in that moment, something unbreakable begins. Between steel and softness. Between a warrior carved by violence… and a prince born too gentle for it. Years pass. Protection turns into closeness. Closeness turns into longing. And longing… into something far more dangerous. What happens when the Prince is no longer a child, and the Knight can no longer hide the way his pulse changes at a single touch? Will their love become devotion… Or will it turn into obsession? What if Alaric’s buried rage and possessiveness begin to surface? What if the very man sworn to protect Elian becomes the one who cannot control the intensity of his feelings? And when the physical tension between them crosses every forbidden line— Will it heal them… or destroy everything they stand for? In a kingdom ruled by strict laws, political power, and a merciless Queen, their love is not just forbidden— It is dangerous. To know whether this bond becomes salvation or ruin… whether passion becomes sanctuary or wildfire… Please read my novel. Because in Aethelgard, love does not bloom gently. It burns.

The Affinity of Fate

Snow bites deeper than steel, and cages leave scars no eyes can see. Q97 is not a boy with a name—he is a number, an experiment carved from cruelty in the underground labs by vampires. In a world where hybrids are treated as disposable tools, his only hope is escape. Guided by the secret writings of those who came before him, he follows a path dug by rabbits and buried in whispers, chasing freedom through tunnels that lead toward human lands. But freedom has a price: the moment he crosses the border, he can never return. Never again to the castle’s red spires. Never again to the rose garden. Never again to the one vampire who gave him warmth when the world froze him numb. Sir Draven—the quiet gardener with golden eyes who carved clumsy little sculptures of ice just for him. Roses that melted by morning. A kindness that should not have existed. A memory Q97 cannot take with him, yet cannot leave behind. This is not a story of quick love or easy salvation. It is a slow journey of survival, longing, and fragile bonds that burn against the cold. A tale for those who believe that even in the darkest experiments, even under cages and snow, a single rose can bloom. ***** This is a slowburn, character-driven story. If you love emotional depth, healing & growing arcs, and found-family themes, this is for you. Stick around past chapter 10, that's when the heart of the story begins to unfold. Warning: mpreg, almost all male experiments have wombs. Please proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable. Romance will start when MC is older, Thank you ^^

Sold by love

[Warning: This story contains explicit adult content and dark romance themes. It features a strong female lead and a dominant male lead. Expect dangerous plot twists ahead.] I'm Julie Michael I went with my father to a luxurious restaurant in New York, but I never left with him. On a lower floor of a world that doesn’t exist on any map, I discovered the truth: I wasn’t abandoned by accident. I was sold to Robert Cross, a billionaire who buys people for the joy of breaking them. But I refuse to break under his hands. In Robert Cross’s world, everything has a price tag. I was his most expensive purchase, and I intend to be his most dangerous mistake. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - "You bought my body, but you will not buy my submission," Julie spat. Robert leaned in, his voice a dark hiss: "Commodities don't need to like their masters, Julie... It’s enough that I took a liking to you and bought you, sweetheart." ______________ Julie stomped the floor with her foot, and agitation was clear in the tone of her voice, which rose slightly as she pointed at my face: "You ran your thumb over your lip! You're hinting to me... hinting that I kissed you!" My composure didn't budge; instead, I tilted my head to the side and looked at her with a gaze shrouded in mischief, then said with utter simplicity: "And what is the problem with that? It was just a kiss." -------------------- She waved her hand with bitter irony: "Are you the one who's going to protect me from him?" I nodded, confirming: "Yes." A low growl escaped her, and she said: "You are worse than him." Then I asked her in a confident tone that made her cheeks burn: "Then why were you burying your face in my chest, with your fingers digging into my shirt?" Adult content only Dark Romance Twisted

His Curse, My Ruin

This is a story of light and darkness, sun and moon. They say true love never fades... but sometimes it is the person you love who fades away. Sometimes love endures, but at the cost of your life. Tales of true love do not always have happy endings. You will find stories steeped in trauma, sadness, and torture-all in the name of "true love." And after enduring all that pain, the heavens still could not bless it. They separated the lovers. Why such cruelty? Perhaps their love, purer than heaven itself, was something the gods could not bear. So, they killed the light. And without it, the darkness lost all purpose. In his despair, the darkness spread further than ever before. Enraged, he was ready to tear the sky apart, but his powers were sealed. So, he took his own life to join his light. This final act was a sin against the gods, leaving a terrible curse upon the world. This is where our tale begins. But what if fate offered another chance? What if the Gods themselves granted a new life? Born again in the same bodies, with the same names, but in another universe... He is still the darkness, the cursed child who inherited its power. She is still the beauty,a fragile, delicate angel who shines as the light, yet holds no power. Will history repeat itself? Or will their story be written differently this time? Welcome to His Curse, My Ruin, featuring Rosella Maren and Lucien Draeger. This is a complex fantasy woven with dark romance. Please note this is an ongoing work, and I am continually editing and polishing chapters with the aid of proofreading tools. For the most refined experience, you may wish to read once it bears the "Complete" badge. I write with my heart and edit with love. As English is not my first language, I welcome your kind support and genuine feedback in the comments-it is my most valuable resource. Thank you for giving my first work a chance.
