A marriage of convenience. A mansion full of secrets. And a bride armed with a raccoon named Bernard. Theodosia Blythe was never the "proper daughter." Too loud, too opinionated, too fond of obscure insults and taxidermy. So when her family drags her back into high society to marry Sebastian Everhart - the emotionally constipated heir of a crumbling empire - she agrees. For the inheritance. For the power. And maybe...for revenge. But Everhart estate isn't just cold marble and whispered expectations. It's hiding something darker. Blackmail. Betrayal. A legacy soaked in secrets. As Theo sets the halls aflame with sarcasm and chaos, she uncovers the truth that could bring down both families. And somehow - amid all the scandal, schemes, and stolen kisses - she starts to feel something dangerously close to love. Sharp banter, slow burn tension and just enough murder. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, family intrigue, and heroines who'd rather fight than curtsy.

[I've kind of mashed the canon from them. essentially it sources the comics for the past, references the original modern warfare lineup for Roach and then the last segment lines up with the events of the newer MW2, this was to kind of create my own timeline for the remake. hope that helps!] Ghost had killed off his life outside the military many years ago, as a result scars from past trauma had never fully healed due to years of neglect and ignorance in the hopes they'd go away on their own.

"𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓼𝓹𝓮𝓪𝓴 𝓸𝓯 𝓶𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓷𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓫𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓭 𝓫𝔂 𝓸𝓷𝓮." The Foxglove King is the first instalment in the Gardenias Series. It focuses primarily on Cassandra's point of view while the narrative includes special interludes from the perspectives of other characters. 𝓑𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓫: Cassandra of Evaris is nineteen-a queen far too young, shaped by war, raised on half-truths and the ashes of a past she cannot remember. Her crown is a burden. Her court, a cage. She remembers nothing before the age of ten - only flickers of fire and screams in the dark, blood on marble floors, and the sharp ache of something - or someone - missing. But war sharpens the soft. Now, as the drums of conflict thunder from Caladorn's shores, Cassandra steels herself for battle. Then comes the storm. Nikolai of Virelia - dark prince, feared king, whispered curse - is in her castle. Uninvited. Unarmed. Unbothered. And offering an alliance. She should say no. His name is painted in blood and whispered in war councils like a curse. A name scrawled in crimson across every war table. But his eyes - his eyes look at her like they've known her. Like they miss her. She does not know that he has spent the last three years chasing the memory of a girl he cannot name, guided only by the words inked on his skin: Leave flowers by her bed. He does not know that the ghost he seeks is a queen who now stares at him with cold fire and a blade beneath her gown. Old magic stirs. Forgotten memories burn just beneath the surface. And in the ruin left by two kingdoms poisoned from within, the truth waits-sharp, buried, and dangerous. Because love is a weapon. And some crowns were forged in blood.
