Death is a lullaby, and only she can hear it. She was just a normal girl with average dreams and average problems. That is, until the line between life and death blurred for her. Stuck in life, undying, Maria de Cavinne is forced to seek answers and see ugly truths in places that she had least expected it. Julius Allyrh will do anything to save his friend and king. When his journey takes him to the doorsteps of a woman that is nothing like any he has ever met, he will do anything to get her to break all of her scruples, for very selfish purposes. The potent elixir of emotions that grow between them is wrong, dangerous and forbidden. As time goes on and they both unravel truths behind dynasties, see ancient prophecies come to life, it will be a constant struggle to stay above the dark executioner's blow. Will they survive it, or will their feelings be the end of them?

Chapter 1 Prologue

The first time for everything is always unique, different, unforgettable, and this time was no exception. For most people, there is only life, and then death. For her, she acutely remembers the first time she died. If she were asked to describe how it had felt for the breath to seize in her lungs and her heart to still in her chest for the first time, she would be at a loss for words.

For just as there are syllables that the human tongue cannot form and emotions that humans have yet to put a name to, this also was her first time experiencing death and no matter how many more times it happens, the elusive shroud of death will always remain a mystery to her.

She was there one moment, gone another, and yet there once again. It is something that humans with their proclivities to clinging to the known and to their comfort zone can never fathom, something that would have inspired their nearly constant fear of the unknown as surely as dawn, but then, only if they knew.

There are people that would do anything to continue living, and at the same time, people that would take the first chance to end it all.

For Maria, is her magic a gift or a curse?

MY MASTERS

Mercy Kay
4.9

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
