Retired Dark Lord, Full-Time Baker

cadenn
Once a fearsome Dark Lord who ruled with an iron fist and an unholy collection of enchanted weapons, Vexar has traded in his dark mantle for an apron, a rolling pin, and an overwhelming obsession with sourdough. After an undisclosed incident—likely involving a heroic duel, a very poorly timed betrayal, and possibly a broken enchanted sword—Vexar retired from world domination to open Vexar’s Very Good Buns, the finest bakery in the whimsical town of Dunderidge Crossing. But life as a humble baker isn't without its complications. Between accidentally scaring the townsfolk with his intimidating presence, accidentally using dark magic to heat the oven (again), and accidentally becoming embroiled in petty bakery rivalries and town politics, Vexar finds that running a peaceful little shop isn't as easy as tossing dough into a well-baked future. With a steady stream of quirky customers—including an old nemesis who insists on ordering pastries, a particularly sassy potion delivery courier, and the town's mysterious hero who keeps reappearing for scones—Vexar must learn to navigate the simple life while grappling with the occasional resurrection of ancient foes... all while ensuring the croissants come out golden and the jams are just right. Can a Dark Lord truly leave his past behind? Or is he destined to rise again—this time with a tray of muffins?

The Demon Dreamer

Nicholas, a demon and Harper, a powerful witch are fugitives, hunted by their wealthy families and The Glades for defying ancient laws. Their love is forbidden, their unborn child a threat to the supernatural order. As Harper’s pregnancy progresses, their abilities begin to fade, forcing them into hiding. Their only hope is sanctuary with a powerful witch in Salem. But fate has other plans. Harper gives birth prematurely, leaving both parents weakened—just enough for their newborn daughter, Emily, to be stolen from them. When they recover, they find that their powers have not only returned but they are even more potent than before. Abandoning their escape plan, they wage a ruthless war against their enemies, determined to uncover the truth and find their daughter. As days turn into weeks with no sign of Emily, Harper begins to unravel, tormented by guilt and the unbearable void where her child should be. But then Nicholas experiences something extraordinary—he can see through Emily’s eyes, feel her presence as if she is still with them. The visions lead them on a desperate hunt, uncovering a secret coven with ties to Harper’s own bloodline. Their search takes them from Salem to the mystical heart of the French Quarter, where an ancient prophecy foretells their daughter’s destiny. With time running out, they journey to Norway, where intrigues with old gods and forgotten powers await—some who seek to destroy Emily before she can claim her birthright. Nicholas and Harper will stop at nothing to bring their daughter home. But as they uncover the true nature of her existence, they must face a disturbing truth—saving Emily may come at the cost of unraveling the supernatural world itself.
