Court Stories

After watching his pregnant wife and unborn twins die before his eyes, Crown Prince Jian succumbs to poison and awakens nine months in the past. Armed with memories of a future that ended in tragedy, Jian begins hunting the enemies who destroyed his family. But the more he changes the past, the more the future changes with it. Plots he remembers never occur. New enemies emerge from the shadows. Old allies behave differently. And the path that once led to death begins unraveling into something he no longer recognizes. This time Jian refuses to lose. But saving the future may prove far more dangerous than reliving it.

Born sickly and dismissed as a prince who would not live, Aelor Targaryen wakes with memories that should not be his and a hunger the court cannot see. In a Red Keep already splitting around Rhaenyra, Alicent, and Daemon, one fragile boy may change the fate of House Targaryen before the dragons choose their riders.

In a world hidden from ordinary humans, ghosts, witches, demons, and cursed beings are not judged by fate-they are judged by law. Adrian Elias Vale is one of the few attorneys licensed to practice in the Spirit Court, a mysterious tribunal that exists between Heaven and Hell. His clients are the dead, the forgotten, and the supernatural beings whom everyone else has already condemned. His creed is simple: "No soul should be judged without being heard." Assigned to every case is Cassian Noctis, the last Balance Keeper-an ancient being older than angels and demons whose duty is to preserve the balance of the afterlife without favor or mercy. One believes every soul deserves a second chance. The other believes every verdict must remain impartial. As impossible cases unfold and an ancient conspiracy begins to unravel, Adrian and Cassian discover that the greatest threat isn't a demon... or even Hell itself. Someone is rewriting the laws that govern the afterlife. Now, the attorney who defends lost souls and the last guardian of Balance must decide whether justice is worth risking Heaven, Hell... and their own hearts.

When an Emperor dies without an heir the royal dragons will accept, seventeen-year-old stable hand Kestrel Vane accidentally bonds with an unclaimed royal egg - and finds herself, overnight, an unwanted piece on a board of scheming nobles, a fractured Council, and a throne six great houses are quietly tearing each other apart to control. As war breaks out on the northern border and old secrets about the empire's most guarded magic start surfacing in enemy hands, Kestrel is pulled between four uneasy allies - a disgraced nephew nobody's dragon will choose, a groundskeeper thrust into a claim built on forged papers, a coastal lord who may or may not be exactly who he seems, and her own small, fierce dragon, Vesper, who has to grow up fast because the empire won't wait.

He asked for a wife who would not trouble his peace. At sixteen, Wen Ziwan is sent to the sacred bride selection of Baishé and brought before Liang Shenyu, the feared Crown Prince of Yuhai. He does not want love. He does not want a bride with power. He wants a quiet minor wife, useful enough to bring peace to his mother and harmless enough to remain unseen. Ziwan has no faction. No dowry. No protection beyond obedience. What she has is silence. But quiet does not mean empty. And in a palace built to measure women, no one asks what a silent girl has learned to see. The Selection Beneath the Scales is the first volume of The White Lotus Beneath the Serpent Throne: a 48-episode chaste imperial slow-burn of sacred selection, political marriage, palace intrigue, and dangerous restraint. Book II, The Quiet War of Silk and Ink, is scheduled for late October. New chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:30 PM Paris time.

Prince Everett Alexander of Valen has spent his entire life surrounded by people who tell him exactly what he wants to hear. Yet, that is the one thing he never wanted. Plagued by sleepless nights and the weight of a future he never chose, Everett begins wandering the palace long after everyone else has gone to bed. There, in the quiet hours before dawn, he keeps crossing paths with the one person he never expected to notice. The court jester. Behind the painted smile and foolish costume is a man who seems oddly untouched by the rules of court. Sharp-tongued, endlessly observant, and impossible to predict, the jester has a habit of saying exactly what no one else dares. As unlikely conversations turn into a dangerous friendship, Everett begins to wonder who the man truly is. Because every kingdom has its secrets.
