❝You are just a WOMAN. You can't fight in this war, you're weak. It will chew you up and spit you out, you can't keep up with us.❞ The commander scoffed with a low chuckle. A couple of men behind him chuckled as well. Evander's gaze burned into the side of my head, awaiting my reply like everyone else. ❝If I can't fight, then why did the Queen herself ask me to take over your job for the time being?❞ I asked, pulling my dagger out from its sheath, taping on Commander Leland's breastplate with the tip, ❝Careful who you call weak Commander because you clearly don't know who I am.❞ He crossed his arms defensively, ❝Oh yeah? And who are you?❞ I leaned forward lightly, ❝The name's Aislin.❞ ________________ Her name was well-known throughout the kingdoms. Some believed she was just an urban legend, while others thought she was real but some believed she didn't exist at all. She was labeled "the infamous warrior" because she was known for destroying kingdoms with her bare hands. She was a woman, but she set a strong example for tens of thousands of men. She disappeared after a horrific accident. Years had passed, and she had led a life free of violence. After all those years, she was itching to return to the battlefield. Her wish was granted when Queen Aria of Kavan herself approached her and informed her of the events unfolding in her kingdom, requesting her assistance. A sexist Commander, a caring queen, a slacker army, new friendships, and an intriguing yet hothead prince are among the challenges she faces. She's got a lot to handle. --- REVIEWS (more inside) "If you put equal portions of action, adventure, comedy, mystery, romance & feminism in a ninja blender and set it to high power, YOU 👏 GET👏 AISLIN👏. Plus a splash of feminism and diversity makes everything instantly better. SO GOOD!" - @shelsontheloose Copyright © 2021 by WriterMickeyC (of Wattpad) All Rights Reserved COVER: Guinealove2005

ᴀɴ ɪꜱᴇᴋᴀɪ ꜰᴀɴᴛᴀꜱʏ ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ -: ̗̀➛ Awakening in a world beyond her own, she finds herself in a body she doesn't recognise - shattered, bruised, and bearing the name 𝒩𝒾𝓇𝓋𝒶𝓃𝒶 𝒱𝒶𝓁𝒹𝒾𝓈 𝒮𝒾𝓃𝒸𝓁𝒶𝒾𝓇. In this perilous new reality, survival becomes her only focus, as she grapples with the stark truth: her only power is what she can seize to protect herself. Powerless and alone, Nirvana's plans are born from sheer necessity rather than careful strategy. With nothing to her existence but a name and a broken body, she must forge her own path, uncovering the dark secrets of this world while clinging to the fragments of her former self. Trust is a luxury she cannot afford, and yet slowly but surely, there are those who would kill for her and those who might die because of her. But 𝒜𝓁𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓇 𝑀𝒶𝓍𝒾𝓂𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒾𝒶𝓃 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓃𝑒 is neither ally nor enemy - he is an enigma she cannot ignore. Once a boy of striking beauty, his fleeting, tender glances hinted at a curiosity she barely acknowledged. A decade later, he has transformed into a man hardened by the ruthless pursuit of the crown, his once-soft gaze now a burning desire that defies reason. His obsession with Nirvana is both relentless and terrifying. His pursuit becomes an unyielding storm that threatens to engulf them both, leaving nothing but chaos and destruction in its wake. What should be his undoing instead drives him deeper into madness, convinced that she is his by some cosmic right. Nirvana knows she should resist, that allowing this dangerous dance to continue could spell ruin for them both. Yet, the dark allure of his obsession, the haunting sweetness of the chaos he brings, draws her in against her will.

The prospect of becoming an Empress seemed blissful, yet the reality proved to be more cursed than she could have imagined. Every day, Nayantara's whispered prayers reached the heavens: 'Would it not have been better had I embraced death's embrace? In my absence, the world might have found a better existence.' " रोज भगवान से यह ही प्राथना है, मर जाते तो अच्छा होता, हम ना होते पर जहा तो होता।" Born an orphaned princess, Nayantara's marriage to the Crown Prince of Magadh held her last shred of hope. Little did she know that the threads of their relationship would be woven with deceit, shrouded in secrets, and obscured by shadows. As Nayantara's heart aches from the heartbreak inflicted by her husband's deception, she faces a daunting choice: Can she find it within herself to forgive him and mend the shattered pieces of their bond? In the midst of this turmoil, one question lingers: Can Nayantara defy her destiny, or must she learn to embrace the unexpected path that fate has woven?" The much destined to be an Empress sounds blissful the more cursed it actually is.
