She was one of those queens who was the definition of "the power behind the throne."
In 1320, 15-year-old Elzbieta, daughter of the recently crowned King of Poland, is chosen to be the new wife of King Karoly of Hungary, to seal an alliance between the two kingdoms. Just like her father, Karoly is a fairly new king, trying to rule and rebuild a country full of civil unrest. She quickly fulfills her most important queenly duty- giving her husband sons. But Elzbieta realizes she could be so much more than a pawn for alliances and a provider of heirs. She soon finds that the most important men in her life- her brother, husband, and sons trust her more than anyone else.
FIRST DRAFT/ Editing
ON HOLD: I will make this my main project after I finish "Between two Queens".
Note: This is not based on the Polish television series "Crown of Kings (Korona Krolow). I am an English-speaking American whose not had a chance to watch the show, because it is unavailable in my country and language. I have no Polish or Hungarian blood, but I find medieval European royal dynasties interesting, so I wanted to write novels about the lesser-known dynasties. There are already enough novels about England's Plantagenet dynasty.
Note: This story is on hold right now. I plan on adding more once I finish "Between two Queens".

Blood (Epic of the Mediterranean) [Book 1]
They say that keep your friends close, enemies closer. But just how close? Close enough so as to have them carve out your heart, or close enough for them to secure an inevitable place inside it? How much can you trust them, that is, if you can trust them at all. --- An-Ki Naya, the third daughter of the Assyrian dynasty of Kinkha which held a short lived rule on the Persian Empire, gets abducted and brought in as a slave after a complete end to her family line. No one and nothing is left of the once mighty history of Mesopotamia, the sole rubble being her hope which is shattered by the regret of being alive. Persia expresses immense contentment with the end of the mortal enemy and takes the peace as an indicator for a rule of serenity. Only, it isn't quite so. The most treacherous member of the Kinkha blood is still alive, a threat which wasn't taken under consideration since the time she was born. An impending conspiracy dawns with her which includes many participants hidden within the empire under the forged veils of loyalty. The Lord of the Persian state of Bactria is Asmaka Araxa Kayasth, one of the five most prevalent powers which were involved in the victory of Cunaxa. Sharing a history of enmity with the Kinkha family name, he annexes Sogdiana while crushing them into nonexistence. He takes in a slave, without an idea about what all would come with her. 4th century B.C. Persia is the supreme empire of its time with Arthaxerxes II as its shahanshah. A period which was drawn by the blood and valor of the most prodigious rulers and the knowledge of self-actualization throughout the world. Behind the blinding shimmer of the exquisite luxuries exist conflicts of family and values, betrayals, treacheries, imperial enigmas, tension amongst thrones, hunt for spiritual wisdom and uncertainties. *** [COMPLETED]Complete

From The Other Side
After the Countryhumans witness a boring teenager get hit by Truck-Kun on UN's birthday, they find themselves dealing with a cliche anime Isekai world named Arachnid after a gateway opens up, connecting both worlds. However, it appears King Sadan, the king of the Atreti Empire (or The Empire), wants a taste of ruling over all of Pangea. In the world of Arachnid, the CH have to deal with dragons, knights, monsters, and the supposedly "main Isekai character" that goes by the name of Hinkari, that has a personality of a rock and oddly has a harem, who views them as a threat and the villains of his story. Tensions are rising as the CH have to find a way to calm the situation down before citizens of both sides get killed in the crossfire, all while trying to not get killed in the process. Or before something that was put into a slumber long ago wakes up and wreaks havoc to both worlds. -- Spoilers: This story is suppose to make fun of the typical/cliche Isekai anime shows. The story line is inspired by GATE: And So the JSDF fought anime (mainly on the first few chapters before it starts going into a different path) Art cover done by me! (Yippee I made my own book cover for once)
The Withering Ones
"Those who's eyes gleam with power Will wither and will fall, And those who only have eyes for another, Will rise above them all." "As you are well aware, we are at war," council leader Sir Ptolemus Brom announced to the twins in a meeting, only minutes after the coronation. "The public is already concerned about a joint rule, and in their minds you two are innocent children being pulled into a mess of politics; and quite frankly, you are. But we don't have time for that. We need to show them a leader." ----- Seventeen year old twin orphans, Alexandria and Kalyssa Leirin are both the queens of Amaria. It's unheard of. It's unruly. It's completely rash. Yet it works. Their mother died in childbirth, and their father was assassinated by highly skilled warriors from the rival nation of Aidana. An attack masterfully orchestrated by the Aidanian King himself. A self centered and narcissistic ruler who had lived a privileged life. As princesses, the twins had been secretly trained behind their father's, and their country's back, to kill. And now, in a time of sacrifice, war, and a touch of romance, they must use all they've learned to guide them, and to save their falling kingdom.
