Dina has one rule: never trust mortals. And she has good reason. Bound to the Lamp her entire life, she's summoned only to grant Magick wishes. A servant to kings, lords, and conquerors alike, not once has her Magick brought about anything good. Because Dina is a creature. A weapon. A monster. Destruction is in her blood. And mortals are no better. They lie. They manipulate. They destroy. But then Tarrin summons her. A commoner. A rebel. And far too charming for his own good. Rather than demanding impossible riches or power, Tarrin offers her something she's never imagined: freedom. In return, he asks for her help. There's just one problem. He expects her to trust him. Can Dina risk believing a mortal long enough to break the Lamp's hold over her, or will trusting him prove she's nothing more than a weapon? ✷✷✷ [90,000-100,000 words] #1 romantasy 28.02.26 #2 creatures 22.07.26 #2 high fantasy 22.07.26

History has always belonged to those who remained to write it. It remembers heroes and villains, victories and betrayals, but rarely everything that came before. The choices no one noticed. The mistakes no one understood. The moments that changed everything long before anyone realised the story had already begun. Because sometimes the truth is not hidden. Sometimes it is simply forgotten. The stories remembered the prince. They remembered the chosen girl of light. They remembered the villainess who was destined to fall. They never knew what was left unwritten. Beyond the capital lay forgotten kingdoms, ancient forests untouched for centuries, creatures lost to time, and a world far greater than any story could contain. A world where magic can create wonders or leave scars, where monsters gather for reasons no one understands, and every answer only reveals how many questions were never asked. Some endings were never written. Some stories refuse to stay the way they were told. Content Note: A slow-burn reincarnation/transmigration fantasy that focuses on the journey rather than rushing to the destination. Come for the plot, stay for the banter, chaos, and all the little moments that make the adventure worth it.
