A PREQUEL TO HIS KING A hot-headed elf from a foreign land, with a sharp tongue and an uncanny knack for medicine, finds himself in a kingdom ruled by humans. Fergus of Undermount arrives in Qecia with no mastery of its language and no expectation of belonging ─ only to find himself pulled into the orbit of King Hendrix II and Queen Kendra. When circumstances bind him to the royal household, Fergus is appointed Royal Court Physician and placed in an unexpected role: guardian to the young Prince Hendrix, a child growing beneath the weight of a crown he has yet to understand. Thrown between courtly expectations, unfamiliar customs, and a responsibility he never asked for, Fergus must learn to navigate a world where trust is rarely given freely ─ learning, in fits and starts, what it means to serve a crown that he never believed would accept him. But, in the midst of the family's overwhelming kindness and hospitality, it does not take long for Fergus to realize that nothing offered within the court is ever given without purpose. ━ ♡ ♛ ♡ ━ [ Evangeline Adrinelle belongs to @brunettexbombshell❕]

She was cast out by society. He chose her anyway. Once a lady of rank, Bernadette now lives in quiet exile above a humble baker's shoppe, her name spoken only in whispers and judgment. Branded by scandal for bearing a son out of wedlock, she has learned to survive in the shadows-for the sake of Roux, the child who is both her greatest love and her deepest wound. When Captain Helm, master of the notorious Poseidon's Revenge, crosses her path, Bernadette expects nothing more than fleeting kindness. Instead, she finds a man who sees her not as a fallen lady, but as a woman worthy of devotion. Drawn to his steadiness, his honor, and the freedom he represents, Bernadette begins to imagine a life beyond shame. As affection deepens into something undeniable, Bernadette faces an impossible choice: remain safely hidden ashore, or risk everything by stepping aboard Helm's ship-and into a world that would never forgive her past. Choosing love means surrendering the last remnants of her former life, but it also offers something she has never truly known: belonging.

Twenty-five years ago, a fatal accident on Mount Everest shattered the bond between Ethan Mercer and Caleb Wright. Once inseparable climbing partners, they went their separate ways in the aftermath ─ Ethan returning to the mountain year after year, Caleb abandoning it entirely. Now, decades later, fate reunites them on Everest as part of the same expedition. Older, estranged, and burdened by survivor's guilt, they are forced into close proximity with each other ─ and with the memory of the girl they failed to save. As the climb grows increasingly perilous and the altitude strips away their defenses, long-buried truths begin to surface. When the past reveals itself, Ethan and Caleb must confront what survival has cost them ─ and whether some losses can ever be left behind.
