"Thou shalt not surrender to those of injustice."
Being named "Justice" isn't as easy as one would have thought especially if you specialize in the Art of War. However, that's how things seem to be for Astraea Twine, Commander in Chief of the armies of Ecarlious.
Since long, Astraea has taken a blind eye to the pull of guilt. After all, doesn't the greater good always win? Yet, Astraea can't help but doubt the crown's power... and intentions.
For far too long, too many wrongdoings have been done, staining her hands bloody. Too many lives taken for the mere greed of the crown.
Slowly regrets began to devour her, piece by piece... Those innocent lives slaughtered. Children and elders both, burn. Life to ash. Warm to cold. Simple as that.
As Astraea begins to doubt the lines of friends and foes, a price comes about. The crowd hears the news...of her betrayal.
Now no longer the once respected Commander, but rather the treacherous traitor. No longer does she serve injustice, no longer will she cower in the presence of the crown. Together with many newly founded allies, her conquest to a better world begins.
Perhaps, even love is possible, the one thing that could ruin all. Yet so strong, enough to unite us all.
In the world of where magic and power rules all, one cannot hope but to surrender.
And thus forward will the dance of life and death begin.
Long live the Commander of Legends.

One Sin
Nobody knows his real name. The world knows him only as Asra - and the world is afraid. In a Republic built not on crowns but on money, fear, and seven unseen families who own everything from the armies to the gods, Asra is the thing they never planned for: someone with nothing left to lose. For generations, Aurevia has lived in the shadow of their greed - its mines stripped, its people silenced, its crown reduced to a puppet's ornament. The world calls it peace. Those who remember call it slavery with better manners. Now Asra is dismantling it all. Piece by piece. Leaking secrets, igniting markets, turning the power of the seven against themselves. The world calls him a terrorist. But those who've lost everything see him as something else entirely: a reckoning long overdue. Far from the eyes of governments and kings - in lecture halls and back alleys, in midnight boardrooms and burning cities - a war is being rewritten. Not for freedom. For vengeance. Because in a world built on sin, it only takes one to bring it all down.![Bloody Crown [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/399608509-256-k969102.jpg)
Bloody Crown [COMPLETED]
She was born a wolf in a world that wanted her tamed. Seraphina Ravenshade never asked for silk gowns or gilded palaces, her place has always been the training yard, blade in hand, unflinching before men twice her size. But when the Crown summons her family to the capital, she finds herself forced into a deadly game of politics, power, and temptation. The Crown Prince, Kael, is as dangerous as he is mesmerizing, his golden eyes see too much, his touch burns too deep, and his intentions blur the line between protection and possession. But the shadows whisper another name. Silais, a man with silver hair, a past soaked in blood, and a vow that ties Seraphina to secrets the royal family would kill to bury. Between a prince who cages her with fire and a phantom who claims her in darkness, Seraphina must decide where her loyalty, and her heart truly lies. And in Aurelius, love is just another battlefield. --- 🩸A dark fantasy romance where love is dangerous, power is bloody, and every choice can destroy a kingdom. Read now. But beware, no one escapes unscathed. Hello there! This is my first attempt at writing something, so please bear with me-I'm a bit sloppy when it comes to endings. You might find this story familiar if you're a fan of manhwa. That's no coincidence! This story is inspired by a dream I had after reading a typical romance manhwa (though I can't quite remember which one). All the double gaps means some time delay or skip. I hope you enjoy this little slice of my imagination! 💭✨ This was a one shot in one of my old account (which is not working unfortunately)Complete

Aftermath | Part III
"What Remains When the World Burns. Is What We Fight To Protect." PART III | The war is over. The world has thrived in the quiet solitude of peace.

As old ghosts rise and the cost of survival begins to surface, the final threads of destiny pull tight. This is no new beginning. It's the last stand of what remains. This is survival. This is defiance. This is aftermath.Complete
BOOK 1: Marked by Flame ( Currently Editing)
*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom.

Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince.
