He'd known he shouldn't have taken that boat, but ambition has a way of kicking you in the teeth.
William Gabriel has lived his life in the shadow of his Mother and Father. He has been raised on a thousand tales of their legendary exploits, dreading his own time to join the wars. Whatever talents he possessed, how could he compare?
The time comes to him sooner and a different way than he ever expected. Shipwrecked in Seathorius, the land of dreams, without a sword or supplies, he's going to have to get over it. His only companion is his servant Felix and his only weapon is his virtue, his faith, and his wits. They must brave the darkness to return home or be devoured within it.
All they have to do is escape the satyrs. And maneating chimeras, and a creature from their darkest nightmares. To say nothing of the Demoness who won't shut up and wants William's soul.

To Rewrite My Fate, I Chose to Be the Villainess
She was nobody. A shut in streamer, wasting away her days broadcasting otome games to a handful of viewers. Her life was a blur of glowing screens, energy drinks, and the crushing thought that nothing would ever change. Until it did. One night, live on stream, she collapsed, only to open her eyes inside the very game she had been playing. A world of nobles, roses, and glittering romance awaited her... along with a script she already knew by heart. But she wasn't the heroine fated for love. She wasn't even the villainess destined for infamy. She was a side princess. A name mentioned once, only to vanish into obscurity. Pretty, forgotten, and doomed to marry into some royal family before fading from history. No. Absolutely not. If this was her second chance at life, she refused to be background decoration. If the world wanted her to be a pawn, she'd become the queen. And if the story already had a heroine and a prince... Then she would choose the only role powerful enough to change everything: the villainess.

God of Storms
God of Storms Book I in the Ruined Gods series The kingdom of Brumefall knows better than to wake their grief-stricken King. His rage is as relentless as the storms he commands, his wrath a legend whispered in fear. Yet a reckless dare leads Princess Aura Valienne of Elarion to do the unthinkable-climbing the fortress and rousing the slumbering storm after more than a century. Now, there is no escape. Faced with an ultimatum-death or servitude-Princess Aura is bound to King Gabriel Ashford until he decides she has paid for her mistake. But her royal blood is undeniable, and even as a prisoner, she refuses to break. There is more to Aura than just her lineage, and the Storm God senses it from the moment he sets his eyes on her. The longer she remains in his realm, the more the Princess realizes the feared King is not just a monster, but a man haunted by loss and fury. Despite the danger, she finds herself drawn to his tempest. Lord Adrian Lockworth, King Gabriel's closest friend and confidant, offers Princess Mary Valienne a place in the castle, ensuring the sisters do not have to be apart. His quiet admiration and gentle guidance offer a refuge amid the chaos, but as fate tightens its grip, even the softest hearts may be tested beyond anything they ever imagined. Some forces should never be woken. And some storms can never be tamed. "You locked me in like a prisoner." "You're not a prisoner. You're alive. There's a difference." "You think that justifies it?" "I think it kept you from being killed," he said flatly. "So yes, I do." Aura narrowed her eyes. "And what if I don't want to be safe at the cost of my freedom?" "And what if I don't want to lose you at the cost of your pride?" Copyright © 2025 by gardneranastasia ***All rights reserved.

"Santina, I want you to be my Empress." WAIT, WHAT? Why now? Does he want to use me to his advantage? Yeah, that's probably it! But then...? "I'll start a war." E-eh? What is this? "I'll kill him and destroy his entire kingdom. In fact, I'll erase it from the map, so... look at me... I beg you." Is he completely ignoring the crown prince? But why and for what reason, all of a sudden? Let me go, you crazy punk! I'M THE VILLAINESS! "...." He broke my other leg as well. When they say Angels have wings they mean they have legs.
