A medieval romance by Elise Cyr


He fought for king and country, but that battle was nothing compared to the one he’ll wage for a woman’s heart.

Still reeling from the news of her father’s death during the Norman Conquest, Isabel Dumont is unprepared when trouble arrives at the castle gates. Alexandre d’Évreux, a Norman knight with close ties to England’s new king, has arrived to secure the land and the loyalties of the Dumont family. Desperate to protect her people, Isabel strives to keep the confounding knight at arm’s length and hide the truth about her father’s death.

For Alexandre, the spoils of war come with more than just a generous gift of land. They come with Isabel Dumont. Vowing to marry only for love, Alexandre finds himself in a difficult situation as a conqueror granted dominion over the land and its people. Isabel is the one person capable of helping him win the regard of those living in the war-torn country…if he chooses to accept her.

Just when Alexandre finds a spark of hope that he and Isabel have a chance at love, she vanishes. His quest to find her plunges him deeper into the conquest’s fallout. Was she taken? Or did she leave?

King Henry by ShellyWritesBooks

Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.

For Honor and Love by FRLagoF

Disclaimer: Content is subject to change as the story is still being refined. AI-generated images are used for illustrative purposes only. Kastiel Ravaryn, the fiercest general in all of Solmaria, was a name whispered in fear on the battlefield. His victories were countless, his strategies unparalleled, and his loyalty to his kingdom unwavering. When the king offered a prize for his triumphs-not wealth, nor land, but a woman of his choice-the court expected him to claim a noble lady, perhaps even Princess Avaria herself. But Kastiel shocked them all by choosing Seraphine Kaelor-a humble healer, a commoner, and a woman whose kindness had unknowingly captured his heart. Seraphine, who had spent her life healing the wounded and tending to the sick, never imagined she would be thrust into the heart of a royal scandal. She had always known her place, far from the glittering world of nobles and kings, but Kastiel's unexpected choice shattered her understanding of her own worth. As she became the center of court gossip, Seraphine found herself caught between the love of a man who defied his station and the dangerous obsession of Princess Avaria, who would stop at nothing to claim Kastiel for herself. While Kastiel battles foreign invaders, he is also forced to fight against the web of lies, betrayal, and envy that threaten to tear his world apart. With Seraphine's life hanging in the balance and the kingdom's future uncertain, Kastiel must confront not only the enemies at his doorstep but the haunting truth that love, above all, may be the war that leaves him broken beyond repair. In a land where loyalty and betrayal intertwine, where every victory is shadowed by loss, Kastiel and Seraphine must navigate a perilous path, one where their hearts and their lives are the ultimate prize.
