Follow || Sanders Sides
//Descendants au. Ships: prinxiety, demus, and logicality\\ Ever since the good side had lost the great battle, villains ruled Auradon. What was now called the Dark Kingdom was created by the villains, and ruled by Maleficent. The good were thrown onto the isle, subjected to lack of space and less than ideal circumstances. Most would never see the mainland. Roman had been content to stay and live on the isle, but from the moment he met Virgil Storm, Maleficent's son, he was wrapped around his finger. He would follow him anywhere, even if the cost was everything he'd ever known.

The Shepherd: The Struggle For Power And Freedom
"Ten years ago, they summoned me to save their dying dynasty. They got something else entirely." Louis LaVoie was just a 22-year-old engineering student when the Empire of Fiercœur tore him from his world. They wanted a hero. They needed a savior. They got a murderer. "I loathe my old world. There, men are abandoned by society, left weak and purposeless. Here in Fiercœur, I found what I truly am." In a realm where three dynasties tear each other apart in brutal civil war, Louis discovers that his greatest weapon isn't the mysterious power to summon objects from his world. It's something far more dangerous: the ability to turn back time, keeping only his memories of what's to come. Taking advantage of mistakes that never happen. "When someone fights you, you don't defend your honor. You defend your life." But power comes at a price. As Louis transforms from soft student to hardened warrior, he must navigate deadly politics, nomadic horse archers, and the brutal training that forges Fiercœurois soldiers into living weapons. "I decide which sheep live and die. As long as I have a flock to lead." The Cœurvaillant Dynasty is outnumbered. Their enemies are closing in. And their supposed savior has learned that in Fiercœur, mercy is earned through strength, not given through weakness. "Violence works. When it works, it's extremely potent." Some called him hero. Others called him monster. He calls himself Fiercœurois. "I am proud of what I've become. I don't care if you hate me for it." From brilliant student to merciless commander, witness the transformation of a man who found his true nature in a world that celebrates becoming strong. Welcome to Fiercœur. Where proud hearts forge empires in blood. Cover made by @yeeetrt

We often dream about living in a world far different from our own. It's nice to dream about it, after all reality is disappointing.

A Servant Lost (Alys Book #1)
Alys is an unwanted servant trying to live by any means possible in a land that is threatened by wars and conflict.

Is it at all possible that a servant girl with an unknown past could turn her life towards a brighter future? *Cover photo purchased off of Shutterstock* Rankings: #1 in Medieval, May 2022 #2 in Princess, Oct 6th, 2022 #5 in King, March 21st, 2022 40k March 22, 2022 50k June 30, 2022 60k Oct 3, 2022 70k Feb 20, 2022 80k Sept 10, 2023Concluida
Escape from the Sun King
Escape from the Sun King tells the fictional story of the Guillet family, Robert, wife Ruth, son Roberto, daughter Sarah, and son Lucas who are Huguenot ( Protestant followers of John Calvin) living in Paris during the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) by Louis XIV the Sun King. This edict removes the right to worship their faith and gives the vicious dragonnades (soldier missionaries) the right to move in and persecute them in their own home. The family takes drastic action to survive and help others. Their daughter Sarah remains in Paris to look after the family's wealth and business interests by converting and marrying a Catholic. While her parents prepare to flee, she courts 3 prospective husbands and marries. Meanwhile one rejected suitor becomes obsessed with her and makes her life unbearable. The rest of the Guillet family bid their daughter farewell and begin their perilous journey to England. Family members face immense challenges including shipwreck, sexual assault, settling into a new country, starting a new business, indentured servitude, smuggling and fire. They meet their challenges despite all odds with close calls of capture by soldiers and tax collectors. For many of us, the Guillet are our ancestors. Although the characters are devout, this is not a book directed at a Christian audience. Instead, it is a story of courage and leadership faced by the people first described as refugees, especially the female members of the family. Light-hearted scenes include attending a ball at a grand house located on the Seine, a soiree at Versailles to meet the King and Madame Maintenon, a rescue at sea, smuggling on the Island of Jersey and interaction with a gang of ruffians in London.Concluida
