A Bit Too Many Kings (Fantasy)
- LETTURE 123
- Voti 13
- Parti 4
The story is set in an alternate version of Victorian era Europe.
The continent is divided into three regions.
The Southern region, the Imperio, is ruled by the Impero and his royal court, a group of self-indulgent, hedonistic and morally corrupt noblemen, known as the "Dandes".
The North-Western region, the Kingdom of Isleland, is ruled by a royal family that has fallen under the influence of a conservative and occult, rising religion.
The North-Eastern region, known as the Zaristat, is under the military, tyrannical regime of the Zar, and is being constantly divided by conflicts between the different ethnic tribes, declaring their independance.
The story follows Dande Giacomo Belbo, a charlatan-turned-nobleman with a mysterious past, following his King in the annual gathering of the rulers.
Amidst the three royal families, their courts, deadly conspiracies, tyrants, noblemen, cult leaders, diplomats, traitors, liars and criminals, Belbo will find himself in a web of secrets that might be a lot bigger than he thought.
If you like the political intrigue of Game of Thrones meets perhaps the oddball Victorian Gothic of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, or a little bit of His Dark Materials, this might be a story for you. :)

The High Class of Europe. Or should I say the vampires? Everybody knows they exist, yet it is an unspoken rule to stay silent about them. You wouldn't want to risk one of them hearing you talk bad about them. The punishment for something as simple as that is unspeakable. The Vampires have built an empire from the dirt of London and have reigned for thousands of years. They continue to drag terror everywhere they step. Now in every high class, there's the low respected, middle of the pack, and the elites. Obviously, none are as interesting as the Elites of society. The cremé of the crop. Allow me to introduce you to Zara Delcour, Kaspian Auclair, Mackenzie Rousseau, and Nox Toussaint, the most powerful young adults of them all. And the great thing is? They're not going anywhere. But people are always looking for the next best thing or the next biggest deal. Alliances are formed. Threats are made. And it's all one big game of chess. + Due to harsh imagery, descriptive visuals, possible triggering moments, and certain mature themes in this novel, it is rated MATURE. There will be trigger warnings at the start of the chapters where mature scenes are held for those of you who would prefer to skip over them! (I cannot guarantee that you won't miss something crucial to the novel in those scenes.)Completa
Seven Deadly Sons
There are many millions of parallels. Worlds living and breathing at the same time - time doesn't even exist, 18th century England is living and breathing alongside the present day. While London is living in the past, Afalon is pushing toward it's future. 7 sons, a rare and lucky amount, are Princes in line to the throne. Melanie is in the 18th century, conning each village out of their wares in exchange to see but an inch into their future. Then, after an unlucky exchange, she's dragged into the floating court-city of Afalon in the Æther - another world entirely - to stand trial for someone else crimes. Trial by fire. Trial without end. Ameline has been busy pillaging and murdering her way through Afalon for months, making the ælfin pay for what they did to her family. Then, on a whim, she decides to go big or go home. She kills one of the Seven Princes. Those same princes who embody the attributes of each deadly sin... Now, another girl is brought from her homeworld, Earth, to stand trial for Ameline's own crimes. Worse still... she recognizes her face so, so much. It's her own. A doppelgänger. A modern twist on terrible childhoods and anti-heros. Melanie and Ameline's story is a page-turner you certainly need to start, but with such tragedy and twisting themes of joy and horror you'll want to finish.
