Rhaella Targaryen always knew that there was more behind her mother's death than what she was told. Alysanne was a healthy, strong woman, and yet she was gone in a couple of days because of a mysterious illness. Rhaella was only a child when the tragedy occurred, and none would listen to her speculatios, thinking that she simply was heartbroken, and in denial. Despite the countless effort her new family ― she was adopted by her uncle, King Viserys Targaryen, and his second wife, Queen Alicent Hightower ― had made to make her forget her mother's death, Rhaella never stopped looking for answers. Just like she never stopped thinking about the last words that her mother said to her on death bed. Keeper of a terrible power she doesn't even understand herself, Rhaella struggles while trying to comprehend this gift she never asked for and making peace with the death of her mother. Stubborn, fierce, with deep blue eyes and locks of silver hair, while she's trying to uncover the truth behind her mother's passing she also stumbles into love. Jacaerys Velaryon, son of her cousin, Rhaenyra Targaryen, and future heir to the Iron Throne, is different from any man she has ever known. It should be easy, to love him, as they happen to be betrothed. But nothing in Rhaella's life has been easy, and there are people who don't approve of this union, as they would like Rhaella's powers for themselves. And when suddenly a conflict arise, Rhaella must decide which side to pick. It isn't a choice as though as everyone would believe. [HOTD] [JacexOC] #10 on #jacaerysvelaryon [31/07/2023]

Updating Fridays and Sundays, Kingdom's Fall is a fantasy adventure set in a world where heroes find themselves pitted against an ancient and powerful magic. Kara has lived her whole life trapped under the roof of her father's inn. She longs for adventure, but there is little to be found in a backwater village: at least until Aiden Baird arrives. Noble, rogue, and spy - Aiden Baird is the most notorious man in the Kingdom. Or he would be, if he could remember who he is... Cuan has lived his entire life as the garrison brat, surrounded by soldiers. Unwanted and ignored, he travels north in the service of the one man he looks up to: Gray, the garrison captain. But Captain Gray has concerns of his own. It has been fifteen years since he last saw the King, and they did not part on good terms. Something dark is growing in the Kingdom. Trade from the south has choked to a standstill, and the air over the marshes hangs heavy with the threat of war. In the north the sea-wall, the ancient defence that protects the coastline, is crumbling. The people look to their lords for guidance, and the lords look to their King. King Varion has little time for their concerns. His daughter has been kidnapped by a priest-cult who intend to sacrifice her and summon an ancient power into the world. Faced with an enemy beyond human understanding, there is only one conclusion. In order to save their people, the Kingdom must fall.
