The Emperor's Concubine duology (Book one and two are combined). (Updated/Rewritten 2025!) *** The Emperor's Concubine *** The world seems harsh and cruel, especially when you've been locked away - unaware of the possibility to experience a different life. Princess Celestia Avri, raised in isolation to fulfill her parents' goals, can only dream of the vast life behind the castle walls. Hidden from the outside world and tormented by her own family; her world is flipped once she's taken to the ruling grand empire, the Cypheler Empire. With the princess' kingdom brought to ruin, her name and title stripped, she's forcibly taken as the emperor's possession. The once neglected princess experiences a far different life as a concubine for the notoriously cruel Emperor Cabel. The two navigate their growing feelings - questioning if their love can flourish as the past returns to interfere. *** The Emperor's Concubine Two *** (2025 currently being rewritten/re-edited!) With the once cold-hearted emperor and the once neglected princess engaged, bliss fills each day as their wedding approaches. Their days of serenity are suddenly disrupted, when a devastating incident shakes the entire empire - causing the sudden arrival of someone from the princess' past.

Return of the Demon Sovereign (Book 2) [MxM] by Hopestrife
84 parts Complete Mature
[BOOK 2] [COMPLETED] This is a continuation of the first novel, and it is recommended that you read Return of the Demon Sovereign: Udanfold [MxM] before starting this one. •••• In the aftermath of their tireless wars against the Devils in the depths of Undanfold, Erebus and Leo find themselves in the realm of Halrland. As they navigate this new terrain, their enemies draw ever closer, their relentless pursuit threatening to unravel the fragile peace they've fought so hard to obtain. Erebus, haunted by the memories of his past as the Demon Sovereign, is in a constant battle to keep his identity hidden. The revelation of his true self would not only endanger his life but also the lives of those who stand by him. His inner turmoil is further complicated by the presence of Jericho and Kore and their plots to destroy Shadowbane. However, they must also face the greatest threat to the realms: the Titans. Their awakening could engulf the realms in chaos and destruction. Erebus and Leo must find a way to thwart Jericho and Kore's schemes while preparing for the imminent threat of the Titans. In Halrland, alliances will be tested, secrets will be unveiled, and the battle for survival will reach new heights. Erebus must confront his past and embrace his destiny to protect those he loves and prevent the realms from descending into darkness. The path ahead is fraught with peril, but with Leo by his side, Erebus is determined to face whatever challenges lie in wait. Genre: Fantasy|Action|MxM Trigger Warning: This novel contains fighting, blood, death, gore, and torture. It also contains mature language and scenes. Although this will have romance, it will not be the primary focus of the novel. I love Erebus and Leo (don't get me wrong), but I may love vengeance a little more.
