The world was divided long before this story began. Humans built kingdoms of stone. Vampires vanished behind cursed mountains. Wolves buried their empire beneath endless forests and ancient laws. For centuries, the borders held. The old legends faded. The dead were meant to stay forgotten. Then the ruins began to appear. Symbols no one should remember. Names erased from history. Secrets hidden beneath the earth for generations. At the center of it all stands a king born to rule the wolves... and truths that should have remained buried. Some bonds are written by destiny. Others are written in blood. And when the truth finally wakes, kingdoms will burn for it. 🌙 Dark Fantasy 👑 Royal Politics 🐺 Lycan King × Alpha 🩸 Ancient Secrets ⚔ Slow Burn • Mystery • Plot Twists

Nolan Vire lost everything because he did the right thing. Rhaegor Vraek has spent thirteen years becoming something the world wasn't ready for. Their stories are separate. Their world is the same. And something is moving through it that neither of them has a name for yet - something that has been coming for a very long time, and has finally decided to arrive. The Ember and the Scale is Volume I of The Broken Scale trilogy. The Broken Scale is a multi-POV epic fantasy set in the ancient world of Eryndor - where magic is real and costly, kingdoms are built on managed injustice, and the line between hero and villain depends entirely on which side of history you're standing on. No prophecies. No chosen ones. Just choices, and what they cost.

A Game of Thrones Fanfiction The dragons never died. House Targaryen still rules Westeros with fire and blood, and the Iron Throne remains beneath the shadow of dragons large enough to burn kingdoms in a single night. King Rhaegar Targaryen sits upon the throne, haunted by prophecy and dreams of a darkness rising beyond the Wall. Years ago, he shattered the realm by annulling his marriage to Elia Martell and marrying Lyanna Stark instead, uniting ice and fire in the birth of Prince Aemon Targaryen. But prophecy is a dangerous thing. Prince Aegon, son of Elia Martell and the lawful firstborn, gathers the support of Dorne, the Reach, the Lannisters, and the Faith of the Seven. Prince Aemon, reluctant and burdened by destiny, finds support in the North, the Vale, and the Riverlands. Caught between them are dragons, ambition, prophecy, and blood. And the realm begins to burn. As rival dragonlords tear Westeros apart in the long-feared Second Dance of the Dragons, ancient horrors awaken in the frozen North. While kingdoms fight over crowns, something far older than kings is rising beyond the Wall. In the end, the greatest threat may not come from dragonfire... but from the dead. "When dragons choose sides, kingdoms burn."

Years ago, we shared a spell book, a tower room, and one stupid kiss. Then Evren stole my research, took the only apprenticeship I wanted, and left me with nothing but ash, rumors, and a place at the very bottom of the arcane ranks. Now the empire's magic is cracking. Wards are failing, spells are misfiring, and the ley lines under the capital are tearing themselves apart. The High Council turns to its golden prodigy to fix it, and he does the one thing I never expected- he asks for me. Our power still doubles whenever we touch, and our pride would rather let it eat us alive than admit it's real. To stop the collapse of magic itself, we'll have to revive the bond we swore we'd never use again, and decide which will break first: the empire, the magic, or us.

A modern-day culinary student dies from overwork and wakes up inside her favorite fantasy novel - except she isn't the heroine. She transmigrates into Lady Seraphina Valecrest, the infamous villainess destined to ruin the heroine's life, poison nobles, and eventually be executed publicly. But there's one problem. The girl who transmigrated into Seraphina remembers every chapter of the novel. And she wants absolutely nothing to do with the tragic ending. Instead of fighting over princes and power, she decides to abandon noble society and pursue the only thing she truly loved in her past life: Cooking. However, changing fate isn't easy when: the cold crown prince still suspects her, the original heroine keeps appearing around her, nobles refuse to believe a "villainess" can change, and hidden political conspiracies begin unfolding around her restaurant. What starts as a peaceful dream of running a cozy kitchen slowly turns into something much bigger. Because Seraphina's food has a strange effect: it comforts broken people, reveals hidden memories, and even softens the hearts of those who once wanted her dead. --------- NOTE: MY ORIGINAL STORY!!

The Kingdom of Warda once stood as a testimony to the peak of human civilisation. But the empire is no longer as dominant as it used to be. Rebellion, corruption and greed run rampant. The weak suffer under the boot of the strong, and darkness inhabits all futures that are seen. This story captures a moment of time. It is the story of an outcast prince and the legacy of the rose.

The lhounds, or lion-hounds, were never intended to be anything more extraordinary than very large, very formidable working animals. The scientists who crossed the great Etabrian hounds with plains lions had merely hoped to produce a more effective protector for the herds. What they produced instead was something much larger, much fiercer, and very much more intelligent than anybody had foreseen. And, it turned out, possessed of other, rather unsettling abilities that the scientists had certainly not intended. When the decision was taken that these inconveniently powerful creatures should be destroyed, the lhounds did not oblige. They escaped into the mountain vastnesses and for many years remained there, feared, half-legendary, and very wisely left alone. But Etabria's uneasy peace is beginning to fracture. Lhounds are being stolen - and dark rumours are spreading of creatures bred or broken into weapons. And far from the centre of power, Queen Eruda begins to fear that the greatest danger to the Kingdoms may not come from beyond their borders, but from within. For Lenard Denarion of the Imperial Lhound Regiment, and Xand, his immensely powerful and quite insufferably self-satisfied lhound, the journey begins as an urgent mission across hostile country. It will become something far greater. For if Etabria is to survive what is coming, human and lhound will have to stand together. Not as master and beast, but as minds joined in loyalty, courage, and terrible necessity. Lenard

She was a peculiar thing, many agreed. Wolfs blood they called it-though only her Lady Mother was a Stark. Born with summer snows, the blood of the first men, and a stubbornness only her husband seemed to tolerate. But if you knew Baelor well, you would also know, he loved the stubborn, headstrong mind his wife acquired. But - there were those who said she was everything Baelor Breakspear could never afford to be. Maybe that was why he was so taken with her? as she was with him? or maybe they found understanding, the ability to be unburdened by the watchful eyes of those at court and find comfort in someone who accepted them for them, no formalities, false smiles or performances.
