Althistory Stories

On a storm-torn night in Castillonia, two daughters are claimed by one family-one born pale and failing, the other a Black infant rescued from the wreckage of a foreign ship. To save their lineage, the D'Arcennes hide the sickly newborn and raise the rescued child, Maelys, as heir. Twenty-two years later, Maelys stands beneath the chandeliers of Solenir's glittering court, chosen as a potential bride for Crown Prince Laurent de Castillon. Their attraction is immediate-intellect, wit, and defiant grace ignite a scandalous spark. But whispers hiss through silk: foreign, unsuitable, impossible. When Elara-the hidden trueborn-arrives in disguise, the court becomes a crucible of rumor and knives. A kidnapping, a great hearing, a kingdom's breath held between truth and ruin. With assassins in shadows and tradition wielded like a blade, Maelys must outplay courtiers who would rather see her vanish than rule. Love, loyalty, and identity wage war beneath painted ceilings. To claim her fate-and a future for her kingdom-Maelys must become more than the girl who was switched. She must become the queen who chooses. ©️ _RelleLebby_ // R. L.

"Jujutsu Kaisen but set in Northern Ireland, 1969!" Set in Belfast in 1969, on the eve of The Troubles, Jujutsu Kaisen: Belfast Requiem is a grim, supernatural reimagining of Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen. Rather than Tokyo, the story unfolds in a divided Northern Ireland where centuries of hatred and sectarianism have taken shape as literal curses. The war between sorcerers and cursed spirits collides with the political and religious violence erupting in the streets, creating a world where exorcists, paramilitaries, and ancient magic all clash beneath bloodstained banners.

Gaius Claudius Nero knows nothing can save the Republic. Not after his humiliating defeat on the banks of the Metaurus River. Not after the Etruscans and Umbrians switched sides. Not after Hannibal besieged Rome. While his city burns, the last Roman Dictator prepares to die with honor...

What if Germany won World War 1? And what if World War 2 was right around the corner? Reginald Spenser has made the best of a bad situation. Forced to flee his beloved home in England after a socialist revolution, he's managed to establish himself in "the new world" despite its rabble-rousing locals, bilingual servants, and - of course - its weather. Now comfortably living in Montreal, he can turn his attention to the great task of reclaiming his homeland and restoring order to the world. Even though he's just one man in a room, he can see the future of the entire world laid out before him, and he knows he can guide that future like so many great men before him. All it takes is a little help. And good help, he's finding out, is hard to find.

Written by Amateur Musician Pete Seeger under the Alias "Worker Singer" in 1938. This hastily written song was composed during the Second American Civil War in the 1930's.

Have you ever wondered what makes a perfect military system? What happens when efficiency is pursued not just as a goal, but as an art form? What if the greatest horrors of war came not from hatred or cruelty, but from pure, practical logic? This historically-grounded reimagining of the "The Saga of Tanya the Evil" series strips away magic to expose something far more terrifying: human ingenuity pushed to its absolute limits. Through the lens of multiple characters caught in the machinery of War, we witness the emergence of a new kind of warfare - one where every action, every casualty, even every act of mercy serves a carefully calculated purpose. As Allied forces struggle to maintain their foothold in occupied Europe, they find themselves facing not just German resistance, but a system that turns their very humanity against them. At its heart, "The Machinery of Necessity" asks what price we pay for perfect efficiency. Where is the line between optimization and obsession? Between necessity and horror? Between genius and madness? A meditation on war, systematic thinking, and the cost of progress, this first volume examines what happens when we optimize a process past the point of humanity - and what remains of us when efficiency becomes its own kind of weapon. Welcome to a world where the greatest threats aren't the monsters we fear, but the systems we create.
