I am here to show you a tale that survived only in the breath of families like mine. Berundala-once bright, once brutal-exists now only in murmurs, pushed aside by new rulers, new borders, new nations swallowing the old. But my ancestors left behind pieces: a poem without an ending, a sword without a master, and the memory of nine lives intertwined in a way no chronicle dared to record. They were bound not by birth, but by storms: by war, by betrayal, by love, and by the choices that shaped their rise and shattered their peace. The world forgot them. But I will not. This is the story of the nine-the ones who held the kingdom in their palms, and watched it slip through their fingers.

I'm Heather Parks. I'm the weakest soul there ever was. I gave up. I lost hope. I killed myself... But every day since I killed myself, I've tried to Un-kill myself. Every day since I killed myself, I've asked myself: Why? Every day since I killed myself, I die once again because of what I've done. Every day since I killed myself, I think of what I've lost. Every day since I killed myself, I wish I hadn't done it... And compared to the pain I'm feeling right now, the pains I felt during my life were nothing. Nothing at all...

But, even if the news is tragic, Kat Devieux has other, much more urgent things on her plate. Her financial troubles and the unrealistic expectations of her father has her family on the brink of starvation and her only way out seems to be marriage to a man who sees her as nothing more than a pretty face. When in order to save her father, she becomes the unwilling prisoner of a cursed beast, the running of the kingdom becomes even less important to her. Until she finds herself entangled in rogue politics and magic use. Because the Beast is guilty of more than misuse of magic in a kingdom that has expressly forbidden it. He holds a secret that could be the undoing of the entire country. And for Kat, knowledge opens a door to a life where she is so much more than just another bystander. A life she never thought could be. 🥀 Book 1 of the Fairy's Gambit series *Beauty and the Beast retelling* Fantastic cover by @pennywithaney

On one New Year's Eve, the moment the International Date Line welcomed the new year first, the change occurred. Communications between nations were severed, climates shifted, and unknown lands emerged. Eventually, as each country gathered information and realized they had somehow been transported to another world, their reactions varied. America: "FUCK YEAH! Frontier time, baby!" Russia: "FUCK YEAH! It's warmer now, and the vodka tastes even better!" China: "FUCK YEAH! Not sure what's going on, but there's a ton of stuff that looks edible!" Japan: "Must go to work." ...Or so one might expect, but in reality, each country moved forward with its own agenda, heading straight toward a clash of civilizations.
