Kissing Hellfire: Marry Me, Evil Lord

Power comes with a cost... and it was something she was willing to trade her soul for. A few nights before her wedding, Lauren sought a way to break her fourth engagement. Known for her bad reputation as the rebel princess, she was the only lady who had the guts to step foot on the Everston mansion, the house of a notorious warlord, in the middle of the night. She offered him a wicked alliance that the entire kingdom did not see coming: a marriage. A vixen pretending to be a damsel in distress and a man whose crimson eyes screaming for bloodshed. Could something blossom in this treacherous dance of lies and deception? -- "Are you upset?" She eyed him sharply. "Should I be honored that I got tricked by you, milord?" He drank the remaining wine in his glass with one gulp and put it on the wooden table. He stepped in front of her. His hand was on the rail on her side while his other hand grabbed her glass and finished her wine before putting it down. The way his Adam's apple moved with his every violent gulp made her feel a tickling heat around her nape. When he brought his attention back to her, he licked his lips to wipe off the trace of wine. "How shall I make it up to you then?" he asked with his deep voice, like a seductive devil asking his victim how she would like to be killed. Dangerous yet… enthralling. - Note: This is a dark fantasy-romance genre with a lot of gore, family feuds, steamy scenes, twists and turns, and other explicit content (no rape) that will rile you up and might give you a heart attack so basically this is not for soft-hearted ones, so read at your own risk!

The Vision of Death

After she talked with Julian, Lauren continued to examine the book she got from the ship. It was very odd, she thought. The metal clasp and latch were both sturdy and not stained with rust, so she couldn't guess why it could not be unlocked.

She couldn't feel any spell binding the book either so it must not have been locked by a spell. She tried to unlock it using different spells until she stopped in exhaustion.

Standing in front of the balcony's double doors, she looked through the hazy glass and watched the snow fall outside. She glanced down at the book in her hands; a big question was on her mind. She didn't know any better, so how could she possibly find the answers inside a mystery book that she couldn't open?

If only she could talk to Eleanor at her whims…

"Wait… maybe Anthony knows!" she blurted out. That elder mage knew a lot of things so he must have had an idea how to unlock an ancient book.
