    Summary

    What does it mean to give yourself to something dangerous... and love it anyway?

    Ellen has always felt different. Her psychic gifts have brought both terror and exhilaration, but above all, a relentless pull toward darkness. It finally pushes her father to isolate her, leaving her heartbroken and desperately lonely. In her sorrow, she cries out to the void—and He answers.

    This seductive phantom invades her dreams, offering eternal devotion, if only she swears herself to him. Unable to resist, she surrenders, igniting years of passion. He cherishes and understands her as no one else ever has. The sight of his monstrous form shakes her, yet the darkness within her yearns for him. These nightly visits continue for years.

    Until she meets Thomas.

    His love fills her waking hours, and Ellen's trances end. When they marry, dread looms. Thomas pulls away, repelled by her strange ways. He disappears on an ill-fated business trip, and death and plague descend on her city.

    Ellen knows—He is responsible. Orlok is coming for her.

    Despite his evil, Ellen cannot deny the call to his darkness. She summons him, not just to end the devastation, but to embrace her fate 🖤

    Summary

    8/8/25 - ok ok okayyy! I’m sorry. I’ve fallen into the “fan fiction writer whose life is falling apart” trap. But I promise I’m working on this story! I’ve made some major changes and it seems like it will end up being 2.5-3 books in total. I’ve almost gotten all the plot holes worked out!

     

    “Mother?” Ellen whispered, feeling comforted by the entity and selfishly hoping to be reunited with the one woman who could make all of this pain go away. The one person who took care of her.
    Her head turned slowly over her shoulder and she trembled only slightly, but not out of fear. No, this was merely anticipation. Realization dawned on her as she took in the dark figure that she was destined to forget.

     

    Ellen Hutter pushes her subconscious hauntings aside to focus on her life with her new husband, Thomas. But when he is sent away on business, she begins to lose touch with what is real and what is her imagination.

    Or

    You watched Nosferatu and were waiting for him to look like Bill Skarsgård.
    Essentially a rewrite of the movie with expansion of the romance and backstory.

    Summary

    Aura is the youngest member of the Ring of Zephyrs and her popularity among the others accordingly low. After Proxima Opal's death, more and more followers of Luminism turn towards the preachings of the Primary Octavo, according to which the Emperor's clones are soulless beings. Inhuman, unnatural.
    While tensions arise within the Ring, Aura secretly travels to Trantor to inform the Emperor of the dangers ahead and offer her aid. With the Luminists conflicted between following or denying the Empire, Aura only sees one way to preserve the teachings of the New Octavo: prove to the Ring that Emperor Cleon possesses a soul. Meanwhile, an icy power awakens within her, putting her and her growing relationship with the Emperor at risk...
