The Age Between Us
Nazneen Mansur has spent her life trying to hold her family together after her father's debts left them with nothing but a fading fashion house and a pile of expectations. Between caring for her mother, Haj Zainabu, and her younger sister, Nusayba, she built herself into a woman of strength and silence. Next door lives Ajeed Abdur-Rauf, the heir to an empire, the boy she once teased as small yaro, and the man who later made her forget every rule she ever knew. Their secret bond began in innocence and grew into something that split both families apart. Years later, tragedy, memory loss, and a forced marriage drive them in opposite directions. She is rebuilding her career. He is trapped by his powerful mother, Haj Rakiya, and an ambitious wife, Lamia. When fate throws them together again, old flames reignite, but so do the enemies around them. Kareem Mahmoud, Nazneen's obsessive former classmate, now works beside her, his jealousy brewing into danger. Sofia, his beautiful but unstable lover, wants Nazneen ruined at all costs. Then, one night, everything erupts. Ajeed and Nazneen wake in a hotel room soaked in blood, Sofia's body between them, the police banging at the door. Inspector Khalid, sharp-eyed and relentless, must piece together the truth as every clue leads back to family secrets, betrayal, and a love that refuses to die. Behind the murder lies a past no one wants uncovered, one that could destroy two families and expose a chain of revenge years in the making.
Ruthless
Ruthless. Her mother's eyes pleaded silently with hers, the brown pools blurring with anger and sadness, ❝They call you ruthless, Akira, you understand right? You need to stop this madness. Right this second-❞ She cut her mother off, turning the emerald ring that sat on her middle finger. A venomous laugh left the threshold of her rose tinted lips, ❝Every great story begins with a little madness, mother. And my story has just begun.❞ ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ ✾ Maharani Akira Singh - the one who was as invincible as the Goddesses that lounged above. Just as untouchable, just as drunk on power and just as oblivious to the darkness of the world that bubbled underneath her own two feet. Akira was the embodiment of the one in control - whether it was of herself or of the world she so elegantly ruled. But when you're a mortal pretending to be a God, nothing lasts. Your world will crumble and you will crumble with it - disintegrating into bits and pieces. You will be pushed off the throne you had been worshipped at and while Akira might be prideful, even knew it. She knew that one day her fall would come - taking down her reign and leaving her to rule the ruins. But what she didn't know was that it would come in the form of a man. A suitor, a foreigner, a quick-witted prince: Yuvraj Kartik chauhan. Life is never simple when you're royalty, especially when there are people ready to slice your throat at every turn, every downfall and every place where darkness falls. So what will you do? Will you build up a wall high enough to ward everyone off, succumbing to your own loneliness? Or will you trust the one person you weren't supposed to? ✾ ------------ [Trigger warning - Mentions of blood, gore and war.] [Word count: 40k - 50k] © dyysfunctional_bitxh [2021]Terminé
Thrones of Fire
She is called the Mother Dragon-not for fire or scales, but for her power, her ruthlessness, and the fear she commands. As the leader of the realm, she rules with cunning, charm, and corruption, bending houses and loyalists alike to her will. In the halls of power, alliances are fragile, betrayals are plentiful, and loyalty is bought with whispers and threats. Every move she makes is calculated, every word a weapon, and every secret exploited to keep her throne unchallenged. Yet even she cannot predict every betrayal, nor control the ambitions of those who covet her crown. In a world of political games and household rivalries, she is both queen and monster-loved by some, feared by all, and despised by those who dare stand in her way. Power is not given. Power is taken. And she will take it all.Terminé
Silk Under the Sword (LukeMick)
In the war-torn kingdom of Ayothaya, victory is never pure-and peace comes at a price. General Luke, a hardened warrior bound by loyalty to the crown, returns from battle to find his reward waiting: a royal concubine gifted to him by the king himself. But Mick is no ordinary offering-he is the noble son of a conquered land, veiled in silk and trained to please, yet burning with defiance beneath his delicate beauty. What begins as a forced arrangement-lust without tenderness, duty without affection-spirals into obsession. In the palace where danger lurks behind every curtain and betrayal poisons every smile, their secret passion risks more than just disgrace. Mick is a political pawn. Luke is a man who has never bowed to love. But when conspiracies surface and the throne begins to shake, they must choose: loyalty to the crown, or surrender to a love that could destroy them both. Desire is the first betrayal. But in the game of power, love may be the deadliest weapon of all. 🔥 Explicit | Historical | Enemies to Lovers | Power Play | Happy EndingTerminé

🔥 Absolutely - this isn't your typical lost princess fairytale. This is The Tale of the Ranawats - where bloodlines hide buried sins, power isn't inherited - it's seized, and the past doesn't just haunt... it hunts. 👑 She wasn't merely lost. She was taken. Hidden. Forgotten by the world - but never by those who remembered her name. ⚔️ This isn't about a tiara. It's about truth wrapped in betrayal, a legacy written in blood, and a girl who returns - not to reclaim a throne, but to ignite a war no one saw coming. 💥 Think secrets. 💥 Think scars. 💥 Think family dynasties, buried lies, and a kingdom that remembers what the world tried to erase. #10 in trio. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Published on ~ 03/08/2025
NAMI : Heart Of A Warrior Torn Between Two Worlds
Nami, a 21-year-old warrior and her father's fierce daughter, lives in a world where women are not meant to fight. But she does, not out of rebellion alone, but out of a fire that refuses to be contained. Her father treats her as he would a son, nurturing her strength and skill with the spear, shaping her into a force few can match. But when her village is attacked by a threat they have never faced before, her powers and her courage are tested in ways she never imagined. And it seems that someone close to her may hold the truth behind the chaos. Swept by storm into another world, Nami is confronted with her vulnerabilities, her heart, and the pull of a life she never knew. Will she conquer the challenges of this new land? Will she dwell there and forget her home? Or will she find the courage to reconcile the two worlds she now inhabits? As she meets new allies like Qiyue, the enigmatic second son of an emperor, and navigates the mysterious presence of Renshu, Nami must decide what truly defines her: the warrior she was born to be, or the woman she is destined to become.
