1860, India Gauri was expected to be quiet, obedient, and invisible. But beneath her composed exterior burned a fire that no tradition could contain. Married into an orthodox household, she learns to hide every thought behind a lowered gaze-until Ashutosh, the man shaped by the same customs, begins to notice the silence in her eyes. When their hands brush across a lamp's glow, something unspoken passes between them-too brief to name, too dangerous to repeat. Yet in that single heartbeat, the walls of the house seem to breathe. As shadows of duty tighten, and every glance carries the weight of consequence, Gauri's courage begins to awaken the man who once believed obedience was virtue. What begins as a flicker of understanding becomes a quiet storm neither can contain. Step into 1860, where honour and desire walk the same narrow path, and where one woman dares to let the light beneath her veil burn bright enough to be seen. ...... "Kya kaha tumne?" ("What did you just say?") His tone carried anger - but his eyes searched hers for something more. Gauri didn't flinch. There was something in her gaze tonight... courage, perhaps, or a trace of mischief that refused to bow. She drew a slow breath, the corner of her lips trembling. "Maine kaha, Ashut-" The name broke midway, swallowed by the silence between them. ---

Twenty-year-old Ellie Tikire didn't expect her long dead grandfather to show up at her wedding, and she definitely didn't expect him to declare her betrothed a murderer.

She learns much about her early family- including why they had the time machine in the first place- from her grandfather William and grandmother Anna. As she pieces her ancestor's past together, it slowly begins to dawn on her that her imminent death might have been better for the world than if she had remained living. But her grandparents claim that they know how her death can be absolved, and soon Ellie must adopt the culture of this time period and lie, cheat, steal, deceive, and kill in order to save her own life back in the present. But playing with time can go horribly wrong, and as Ellie finds that she can do more with the power of time than just save herself, she causes both trouble and redemption in the past. When Ellie feels it is safe to return to the future, will it be anything like she has plotted it out to be in past? Or will she feel the need to go back in time, time and time again, until her life is just how she wants it?

In this Assassin's Creed x Warhammer 40k crossover, In London, 1868. When twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye uncover a mysterious Isu artifact beneath the streets of Industrial London, their world is violently torn apart. Catapulted through time and space, they awaken in the grimdark future of the 41st Millennium-an era of eternal war, zealous faith, and the death of hope. Stranded on a blood-soaked battlefield ruled by the Imperium of Man, the Fryes must navigate a galaxy consumed by heresy and haunted by ancient horrors. Hunted by corrupted Custodes, mistrusted by the Inquisition, and bound by a cosmic secret that links the Isu to the Emperor Himself, the Assassins find themselves at the heart of a conflict greater than any Templar war. As they uncover lost technologies and unlock fractured pieces of a galactic puzzle-the Node Cores-they are drawn into a battle not only for survival, but for the fate of time itself. Allies come in unlikely forms: a rogue Tech-Priest with forbidden knowledge, a forgotten Primarch bound beneath Terra, and the flickering ghost of an ancient rebellion. In a war-torn future ruled by gods and monsters, two Assassins born of steel and shadow must choose: return to the past they once knew-or light a new path through the darkness of mankind's bleakest hour. The Creed endures. Even in the 41st Millennium.

Orion and his siblings were the first of a new breed of dragons. The living symbols of American pride and national power; trapped in bondage to protect their captive mother. But when a feral dragon aiding the Confederacy offers Orion the hope of liberating his family, he must first abandon them and serve her instead. But she is less certain of her desires and with far more at stake. As the contested messiah of the wild dragons, none more skeptical than herself, that reputation has given her the opportunity to secure her dying culture legitimacy by establishing a nation of their own. But there are two roads to this glorious future. The first is the way of honor, where the dragon colonies fight and die alongside men in a grand alliance in the hope that their allies will show their gratitude rather than once again turn arms upon their weakened allies. The other is a treacherous route of deceit and betrayal, where a drawn out and ruinous war leaves the already divided nation of men in turmoil and ruins, unable to oppose the solidifying of draconic power in the west. ----------- Inspired by works like Age of Fire and Temeraire. #DragonPOV #HistoricalFantasy
