Silla Ek Mhurkum is just barely a nobleman. One who has very little backing and no prospects. What he does have is knowledge on how to swing a sword, familiarity with military stratagem and a hunger to prove himself. In the Royal Mirlthanian war machine, that has to count for something. Ayanna Wu Kyrian knows that the meritocracy is not fair. Which is why she's spent her entire life trying to manipulate its rules, but when she finally thinks that her days of struggle are over, she's awoken by a frustrating twist of fate. But if something so cheap as fate thinks it can stop her, it is sorely mistaken. From mistake and curse, both Silla and Aya will rise to the heights of legend. *Inspired by Evan Winters "Rage Of Dragons" and Alexey Osadchucks "Last Life".* Cover by: @d0moniqueWrites NOTE: None of this story was written through AI.

England, 1265. On the troubled border between England and Wales, La Cont de Lisle II governs the small lordship of Lislebery while his father fights overseas. At twenty-five, he understands the familiar burdens of rule: settling disputes, protecting the harvest, preparing for Saint Edward's fair and keeping order among the people who depend upon his family. Then mounted strangers cross his land during the night. They avoid the road, travel without a fire and leave behind only uncertain tracks-and the mark of a horse missing one shoe. As La Cont searches for answers, a murdered messenger, a stolen letter and an old dispute over Welsh land begin drawing several households toward one another. Loyalties will be tested, buried grievances revived, and seemingly ordinary decisions may carry consequences far beyond Lislebery. A historically grounded story of duty, intrigue and everyday life in the Welsh Marches.

Caught between royal duty and a new, frightening freedom, Arianna must decide who she wants to become. Because when memory disappears, identity is no longer inherited-it is chosen.

The Last Age of Kings - Book I Before the world was divided, there was Averrion. For centuries, the ancient kingdom stood at the heart of the world, ruled by six High Lords and guarded by six mysterious Stones, each carrying a power no mortal was meant to possess. But Averrion is beginning to change. Theron, one of the six rulers, has grown tired of a kingdom held together by compromise. He sees a Council that argues while the world moves on, six voices that can stop every decision, and a kingdom that he believes is slowly becoming weaker. He has a different vision for Averrion. One ruler. One crown. One will. But the other High Lords will not surrender their power so easily. As old secrets begin to surface and the six Stones are drawn into a conflict none of them fully understands, Theron's desire to save Averrion begins to threaten everything he has sworn to protect. Because kingdoms are not always destroyed by those who wish to see them fall. Sometimes, they are destroyed by those who believe they can save them.
