Magnus Fleming never believed in dragons-until the night one nearly cost him his life.
A jaded scholar buried in the dusty myths of medieval England, Magnus is obsessed with unravelling the secrets behind a centuries-old painting: Saint George and the Dragon. Late one night, tucked away in a London library, he stumbles upon a forgotten message inked in ancient script:
"Here's the secret that lies deep within; only the chosen will find it."
Moments later, a fatal car accident should have ended his story.
Instead, it begins a new one.
Magnus awakens in a strange land, not as himself, but as Lord Magnus Flemington, Earl of Kensington-an aristocrat in the kingdom of Caga, where dragons once roamed, the skies still whisper magic, and political alliances are written in blood and betrothal.
Haunted by fragments of a life he no longer lives, Magnus is thrust into a world of rigid titles, whispered court secrets, and a royal engagement to a princess he's never met. But it's the quiet maid with storm-grey eyes-Casey-who stirs something deeper. She's elusive, clever, and far more than she seems.
As Magnus unravels the mystery behind his strange reincarnation, he learns that Casey carries her hidden past-one bound to the crown, the dragons, and perhaps to Magnus himself. But with ancient forces awakening and loyalties tested, their bond threatens to ignite a war that could consume not only their kingdom, but time itself.
In a land where myths breathe and monarchies burn, Magnus must choose:
Return to the world he knew-or fight for the one he never dared to dream.

"How could you concoct that ludicrous tale in a blink of an eye?" Zane asked, one brow arched in amused disbelief. She huffed. "You should be grateful, I think quickly." "Oh, I am," he murmured. "But perhaps next time, a backstory wherein I retain a modicum of dignity?" Aurora smirked. "And rob myself of the entertainment? Where's the fun in that?" Zane shook his head, but his fingers lingered a fraction longer before he released her hand. "I hadn't realised amusement ranked so highly among your values." She narrowed her eyes. "You are growing rather bold, considering I just saved your life." Zane, entirely undeterred, tilted his head with an infuriating smile. "Ah, but my dearest", he murmured, stepping closer, "perhaps you saved me because you cannot bear to be without me." She responded with all the grace and dignity of a woman at her wit's end-by clamping a hand over his face and shoving him away with such force that he staggered back, laughter spilling from his lips. "Gah! You are intolerable!" Aurora exhaled sharply, straightening her sleeves as though the mere act of touching him had somehow wrinkled them. *************************** Bound by duty. Shackled by honour. Tormented by feeling. Aurora lives a life shaped by steel and sacrifice. As a knight sworn to her realm, she's loyal, lethal, and alone-unshaken in battle, but increasingly undone in his presence. Zane is a problem: disciplined yet reckless, distant yet always too close. He never asks, never reveals-yet somehow sees straight through her. When a mission draws them deep into peril, forced side by side, what once was teasing sharpens into tension. In stolen glances and moonlit silence, desire simmers beneath duty, and silence becomes the loudest agony of all. As truths unravel and enemies close in, the real question isn't whether they can trust each other... It's whether they can afford not to. Written: March 2025- Ongoing
