Eclipsed heart
Everyone has a legacy. A family name. Everyone except me. Everyone carries something. I carry nothing. I never asked to be dragged into this world. I wasn't raised for it. No years of training, no family legacy teaching me how to bow to the right heir and bare my teeth at the wrong one. I Power here is both a shield and a curse. And then there's him. He is the storm I cannot predict, yet cannot resist. The one they all bow to. Untouchable, merciless, born with fire in his veins and ice in his stare. This Academy forgives no weakness, and it forgets even less. But with him standing before me- I can't yet tell if he is my ruin... or my reason to rise.
THE BROKEN CROWN
The night the kingdom of Elaria burned, the stars hid behind smoke and sorrow. Princess Isabella watched flames devour the world she had always known-her home, her people, her family. The roar of battle drowned the lullabies of her childhood, and the clash of steel stole away the innocence she had once carried like a fragile crown. And at the heart of the chaos stood Adrian. Not the mysterious stranger who had once stolen her heart in the town streets, but the ruthless general of Draven, leading the assault with unyielding fire in his eyes. His sword cut down her guards, his orders shattered her gates, and his betrayal pierced her heart deeper than any blade. That night, Isabella's world ended. Her parents fell before her eyes. Her kingdom was lost. Her heart, once soft and unguarded, was broken beyond repair. But she survived. From the ashes of grief, she made a different kind of vow: never again would she be trapped in a life she could not control. She would flee, escaping the ruins of her past to find safety and a chance to live. Not as a warrior seeking vengeance, but as a soul seeking survival, a life reclaimed from the shadows of loss. And though she did not know it then, destiny would one day bring her face to face with the man who had destroyed her life. The man who would become both her greatest enemy... and the one love she could never escape.Complete
