History says Dong Zhuo dies in 192. Lü Bu kills him. Then the Dong clan gets exterminated. I knew all of this. Which would have been much more useful if I had not opened my eyes as Dong Zhuo's nineteen-year-old son. There are worse transmigrations. Few come with such a clear expiration date. Fortunately, the original Dong Yu left me one magnificent inheritance: Everyone already thinks I'm useless. Lazy. Cowardly. Drunk whenever possible. More interested in beautiful women than military affairs. Perfect. All I have to do is protect that reputation, get Mother somewhere safe, gather enough money and food to survive, and avoid every famous bastard I remember from the Three Kingdoms. Especially Lü Bu. Then Father asked what I wanted. "A small estate." "Where?" "West." Li Ru looked at me. "Why west?" "Yuan Shao went east." The room went quiet. That should have been my first warning. I wanted distance from Yuan Shao. They heard that I had already predicted rebellion. I wanted grain because jewelry is difficult to eat. They heard preparation for famine and war. I counted carts because, at some point, I fully intend to run away. Somehow that was worse. Yesterday, Li Ru thought I was an idiot. Today, he thinks I might have spent nineteen years pretending to be one. Father has started asking for my opinion. Lü Bu has started paying attention to me. And every time I desperately try to prove that I am a cowardly, lazy, womanizing waste of a noble son, everyone becomes a little more convinced that the act itself is part of some terrifying plan. I know how this story ends. I am trying very hard not to be important enough to change it. Unfortunately, the people around me seem determined to promote me into treason.

When a colossal portal tears open in Ginza, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces step through into an unfamiliar world-only to find themselves in the Kingdom of Vale under a shattered moon. What begins as a fragile alliance between First Lieutenant Yōji Itami's squad and Team RWBY is quickly thrown into chaos when a second Gate erupts in California. Drawn by the revolutionary potential of Dust, the United States launches a massive military expedition, rapidly escalating tensions into full-blown conflict. As standard military tactics stall against Aura-enhanced Huntsmen and guerrilla warfare, American forces resort to devastating conventional weapons of terror-deploying the GBU-43/B MOAB and GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator. The resulting environmental destruction and civilian toll trigger a moral turning point that fractures military cohesion and pushes the JSDF and Team RWBY into a desperate struggle to survive. Caught between the horrors of industrial warfare and the rising threat of the Grimm, soldiers and Huntsmen alike must decide what it truly costs to protect two worlds on the brink of total annihilation.

Manila Harbor, 1703. Alejandro is nobody. The son of a dead fisherman. A dockworker struggling to survive beneath Spanish rule. Every day he watches silver, silk, porcelain, and unimaginable wealth flow through Manila's harbor aboard the great galleons of the Pacific trade. Wealth that changes kingdoms. Wealth that never belongs to people like him. But Alejandro sees something others do not. While nobles chase gold and governors chase power, he studies the ships. He listens to merchants. He learns the secrets of trade, finance, diplomacy, and the sea itself. And he dares to dream the impossible. Not of rebellion. Not of war. But of buying freedom. From the crowded docks of Manila to the courts of Europe, from the trading ports of China to the oceans of the world, Alejandro's ambition will ignite a chain of events that will rewrite history itself. In this alternate timeline, the Philippines does not become a forgotten colony. It becomes a maritime empire. A nation built not by conquest, but by commerce. A nation whose fleets dominate the oceans, whose merchants rival kings, and whose influence stretches across the globe. But every empire has enemies. Rival powers, ambitious rulers, traitors, pirates, economic crises, and wars threaten to destroy everything Alejandro builds. To survive, he must outthink emperors, outtrade nations, and prove that wealth can be more powerful than armies. One man's dream. One nation's destiny. One sea that will change the world. Empire of the Azure Sea is an epic alternate-history saga of trade, ambition, politics, naval power, and the rise of a Philippine superpower unlike anything history has ever seen.

When its worn pages finally begin to fall apart, a simple visit to the village leads Diana to the gentle children's author and illustrator whose beloved rabbits have filled her bedtime with wonder for years. Genevieve Thorne never imagined that repairing one little girl's favorite story would quietly change the course of her own life.

As old sorrows slowly give way to new beginnings, Ashcombe Hall becomes a place of laughter once more, where children gather for bedtime stories, friendships blossom into love, and even the deepest wounds begin to heal.

Annina Romanova has spent her life beneath the watchful eye of Felix-the steadfast guardian who has protected her since infancy, challenged her stubbornness, and known every version of her before she ever learned to understand herself. Now Annina is grown. And somewhere between old habits, quiet devotion, and the dangerous intimacy of being known too well, the bond that once defined them begins to change. Felix has spent twenty years believing his place is beside her, never imagining he might one day want more. Annina, however, has never been particularly interested in accepting limits simply because everyone else finds them sensible. Set against the imperial world introduced in Unbound, this is a story of constancy, loyalty, and the unsettling moment when lifelong love becomes something neither of them can pretend not to see.

In 1980, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz leaves Pearl Harbor for a routine Pacific exercise. During the voyage, the carrier encounters a mysterious electromagnetic storm. When the storm disappears, the crew discovers that they have not merely lost contact with the modern world-they have been transported to December 1941. The crew initially believes they have somehow entered the past shortly before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Reconnaissance confirms that the Pacific Fleet is still sitting in Pearl Harbor, while Japanese carrier forces are preparing for the attack. This expands the central dilemma of the original film: whether the Nimitz should allow history to happen or intervene. However, this version goes much further. The Nimitz's crew attempts to remain neutral and find a way home. But after rescuing people who were supposed to die, encountering Imperial Japanese forces, and accidentally revealing technology from the future, history begins changing around them. Like Zipang, the crew gradually discovers that simply refusing to participate in history is almost impossible.

Born in secret to King Ferdinand of Aragon and his mistress, Elena de Aragon grows up forgotten by the empire that created her. Though renowned across Europe for her extraordinary beauty and sharp intellect, she remains little more than a royal bastard--useful only when politics demanded.

But when rumors emerge that Suleiman's mysterious queen is the long-lost daughter of Ferdinand of Aragon, Europe is thrown into turmoil. Ambassadors flock to the Ottoman court seeking proof, kingdoms whisper of alliances to reclaim her, and old loyalties clash with new power. Caught between two empires and two identities, Elena must decide who she truly is: the forgotten princess Europe wants returned-- or the Ottoman queen who refuses to be forgotten

Newly married and thrust into life at the Romanian court, Nicholas of Romania and Princess Natalie Paley must learn to live not only with each other, but with the weight of unresolved grief, expectations, and a union born of necessity as much as affection. Court politics prove no less ruthless than those they left behind, and Nicholas soon discovers that love offers little protection against the ever-present shadow of his brother Carol, waiting abroad for the right moment to reclaim power, as well as Natalia's past. Meanwhile, Vladimir finds himself drawn to Romania more often than expected, under the pretext of family visits that quickly become something else. Old feelings resurface where they should not, and the line between restraint and inevitability grows thinner with every meeting. For Irina, marriage offers no refuge. When a devastating revelation shatters what little illusion remained, her union with Feodor becomes a façade, carefully maintained for appearances alone. Turning away from court life, she dedicates herself entirely to the creation of a new hospital, finding in purpose and service a form of fulfilment she never anticipated-and a freedom she had not known she was seeking.

Every generation of the House of Romanov produces a dragon. Andrei Alexandrovich was supposed to be raised as one. Instead, the Imperial War Ministry turned him into a weapon. By the time Genevieve de Villiers arrives in Russia, Andrei has spent years being measured, controlled, suppressed, and used in the name of empire. He is the War Dragon: feared, disciplined, and dangerously close to forgetting that he was ever meant to be anything else. Genevieve has no intention of letting that continue. What begins as a political arrangement becomes something far more dangerous-a bond neither court nor crown can easily control. As war, succession, ancient dragon bloodlines, and the weight of imperial expectation close in around them, Andrei must learn that freedom is more than the absence of chains. It is choice. It is trust. It is being loved as a man, not valued as a weapon. And sometimes, the most dangerous thing a dragon can do is choose for himself.

The ledger is open, and the debt must be paid. In Book One, Ceredig carved a bloody, hard-fought existence out of a forgotten, damp rock, turning survival into a fortified stronghold. But survival was only the prologue. ​Carrying the heavy, complicated bloodline of Arthur and Derfel Cadarn, Ceredig stands as a living testament to a fading age of legend. Picking up from the birth of Cadfael all the way through to Ceredig's final, unyielding days, The Bastard's Ledger: Part II dives deeper into the grinding reality of a kingdom in the making. As the cracks in the old guard show and a new generation inherits the walls, the math changes. Raising an heir in a fortress built on debt is a dangerous game, and time is a sharper blade than any Saxon iron. ​Framed through the modern translations of historian Kyle Kauffman in his quiet Ipswich study, experience the unvarnished, gritty second half of Ceredig's saga-where every coin spent, every life weighed, and every drop of blood brings the legacy of the legendary shield-brethren closer to its reckoning. ​From the cradle to the grave, the ledger demands its due.
