- Book One of The BrightStone Saga -

In a world ravaged by death and oppression, a merciless and unhinged monarch commands his kingdom through the use of his ruthless death squads.

Far to the East, nestled in the outer reaches of the Kankor valley, there exists a small village where an unusual phenomenon begins to unfold.

Aurora - a young woman who possesses a captivating beauty that captures the attention of many. However, despite her shy demeanour, Aurora finds herself thrust into a perilous world where Men, Majic, and Mortality collide.

As she embarks on a treacherous journey to unravel the mysteries of an ancient malevolence that has resurfaced, Aurora must confront unimaginable challenges and heartbreaking losses. For the evil she faces threatens to terrorise and obliterate every corner of Antar and its inhabitants.

Immerse yourself in the bleak and majical landscape of Antar, where warfare, life, and death loom at every turn. But amidst the chaos, there lies a glimmer of hope. The one thing that has been buried for 900 cycles may hold the key to salvation.

The Duchesses by silviaaaclaira
103 parts Complete Mature
Aurora opens her eyes only to feel the agonising pain in her body. That is to be expected when there has been an accident. It's excruciatingly painful. Aurora groans in pain and pulls off the blanket, taking in her surroundings. It is more appropriate for a hospital interior design to look to the mediaeval era. Not shabby, but more on the extravagant side. The nurses' attire, on the other hand, appears odd. Someone said out of nowhere, "Her Grace, please wake up! Call the doctor right away!" Aurora approaches the mirror and looks at the woman with deep red eyes in it. The woman had blonde hair that, while a little messy, flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her fair complexion lends her an ethereal appearance. Not to mention that her outfits make her look like a noblewoman from a historical series. She pinches herself, only to realise that the blonde woman staring at her is herself. A thought struck her mind, as she utters her first statement in this world, "Fuck me". Medea has finished her work, but she is still unsure how to fix all of the messes. She hasn't been herself in a long time, and it's bothering her. The throne seems so far away, and the weight of the burden grows heavier with each passing day. A letter from the Imperial Palace has arrived, instructing the Duchess to look after the House of Smith's Duchess of Light, Natalie Wilson Smith. As an evil scheme was about to unfold, she smiled wickedly. 'This is my new card.' p/s: I can't find the original owner of the photo of the cover, if you know or you are the owner of the cover.

Return of the Demon Sovereign (Book 1) [MxM] by Hopestrife
99 parts Complete Mature
[BOOK 1] REBOOTED COMPLETED Legends once spoke of Erebus, a great cultivator who stood against an army of darkness. He fought bravely alongside his brothers for many years but found himself betrayed. Those he called family poisoned and tortured him-seeking his death. When he escaped, he was demonized and painted as a villain of the realms. Thus, Erebus turned to the army of darkness and discovered the truth. His foe was never the darkness but the great beings manipulating the realms-Titans. He picked up his daggers and spent centuries fighting against these monsters, but fell short of his goal and lost his life. When he believed death would give him rest, the Shadow Deity revealed another plan for him and offered a new life. Erebus found himself in the body of Eri Themis, the outcast and trash of the prodigious Themis family. Starting over again, he will find himself standing by new allies and facing his old enemies. Can they stop the corruption and deceit spread by the gods? ***This novel will have mature language and violence.*** An earlier version of this novel was released a couple of years ago; however, I have rebooted it to this current version. This is an MxM novel but is considered a slow burn.
Book 1: The Child of Starlight by Jaimeeking1
51 parts Complete Mature
Comments appreciated 😁 Book 1 of the 4 book series: Ex Navy Seal Chaos Alabaster Frost was a shapeshifter born in a world of monsters, myth, and fantasy. A world where mortal eyes are now blind to the truth about the creatures and beasts that dwell among them... His life was a constant adventure, he couldn't complain...but Elemental-Guardians, and an growing darkness that's hell bent on destroying the earth, now that's just crazy! Come with me and hear the extraordinary story of how Chaos came to meet the Elemental Guardians and the little five year old girl named Aurora, The Child of Starlight! Warning! There is mature content later on in the story. It's not explicit but if your under sixteen at certain parts I suggest you proceed with caution. Mentioning of PTSD, blood, violence, sexually implied content at certain moments. But again it's not anything crazy explicit but I'm still being cautious! I'd hate to have anyone lose their innocence! None of the song videos in this story are mine. Poems are mine artwork at the end also mine

Aurora Dawson was just like any other 23 year-old college student, but when she innocently decides to pay a visit to a new book shop, she's thrust into a world of war, violence and a game she wants no part of. With the help of a new "friend" Aurora travels this vast new world all while teaching him a few things about our world. Their long journey brings them closer than either one of them ever thought possible. Will Aurora be able to handle the dangerous world of Westeros or will she meet the same fate as so many others before her? The bigger question: will she ever find her way back home? Will she even want to? I do not own any Game of Thrones characters/ story lines. They are the property of George R.R. Martin. I do own Aurora and Cassandra, so please don't steal them. I also own my cover and it took me a while to do it so please leave it be. :) This story will contain some swears, violence, angst, some steamy scenes and, as with all my stories, fluff. (Nothing that would warrant a mature rating though.) I will try to update at least once a week, but I can't make any promises since I'm still writing one-shots as well :)
