Red Moon by SnowingBloom
11 parts Ongoing Mature
Skye had spent her entire life avoiding men. Diagnosed with a rare psychosomatic condition triggered by male presence, she had carefully built a world where they didn't exist, attending an all-girls school, surrounding herself only with women, and rejecting the idea that men could ever be anything but untrustworthy. Her father's betrayal had proven that to her long ago. But one night changes everything. Forced to attend a bachelorette party, Skye steps into a bar filled with men for the first time in years. The moment they surround her, her body succumbs to the overwhelming sickness, and she collapses. When she opens her eyes again, she is no longer Skye. She has been reborn as Princess Flanna Caera Lunae Radbourne, the feared Flame Princess of the Southern Empire, a world where women rule, and men serve. In this matriarchal empire, the roles of power are reversed: Empresses command vast armies, princesses wield swords, and men exist solely to obey their liege ladies. Flanna is no exception. Known as the Crimson Warrior, she is ruthless, cunning, and infamous for both her victories on the battlefield and the size of her harem. But Skye is still Skye. The idea of men obeying her, of being hers to command, is more terrifying than enticing. As she struggles to reconcile her past trauma with her new reality, she is thrown into a battle for the throne. The empire demands a ruler, and all princesses are contenders, Flanna included. If she does not fight for the crown, she will become a pawn in someone else's game. With enemies lurking in the shadows, suitors vying for her favor, and her own mind waging war against her, Skye must decide: Will she embrace the power of Flanna and take the throne, or will her past fears consume her before she gets the chance?
