SEQUEL TO EMPRESS OF THE SEA.
After losing her ship and her crew to Cronas and Kronos, Aeryn Branche-no longer captain of the White Crow-must learn to move on. But more than that, she has revenge to plan. Aeryn will take down Cronas and Kronos and whoever else gets in her way, even if it means she has to fall with them. Thankfully, she has the Black Egret to provide support, but unfortunately, dealing with its captain, Sehyun Han is a whole other story.
On the other hand, Prince Juele Fiore, once again trapped in his own home, must find a way to stop his father, the King of Auber from waging war against Tereline. But of course, nothing is easy. Juele will have to climb up the ranks and earn access to his father's war council to tear his plan down from within.
Princess Maya Djord, now an escapee from Auber's dungeons, runs into a friend of Han's: Marty. With him, she'll have to return to the Black Egret and inform Sehyun Han of the war to come. But that's not the only thing on the princess's plate. She has the duty of finding Iona, Reyna, and Illorin who were separated from the group upon her arrest.
With everyone separated and nothing but pain coming their way, is there even a token of hope to look forward to?

Aenor
In a world where kingdoms shimmer with magic and the air hums with whispered secrets, Aenor Lucelia, the beloved daughter of a powerful duke, lives a life cloaked in gentle mystery. Her alabaster hair glows gold beneath the sun and silvers in the moonlight, her golden eyes holding a secret power long thought lost: the gift of healing and light. When the Crown Prince Kyren Raphael Almos-stormy, guarded, and fierce-returns to the capital, tensions between their realms threaten to ignite into war. Bound by duty and a fragile hope for peace, Aenor and Kyren are thrust into an arranged marriage, a union born not of passion but of politics. Yet beneath the cold gaze and royal demands, an undeniable force draws them together-a fragile ember of trust, a whispered promise of something more. As Aenor's secret magic awakens and shadows stir in the palace halls, their tentative alliance blooms into a love neither expected but both desperately need. In a world of white marble palaces, glowing gardens, and cascading waterfalls, where only the royal bloodlines wield true power, Aenor and Kyren must navigate jealousy, danger, and the fragile threads of their own hearts to protect their kingdoms-and each other. Will the healing light of love be enough to calm the storm within the crown prince? Or will darkness tear them apart before their hearts can truly unite?Completa
The Sole Prince
[ Only the ocean can bring a prince and a pirate together, only the sea can keep their secrets, and only the waves can tear them apart. ] [ COMPLETED - 80K Words] [ LGBT Historical Romance ] [ FEATURED ] James Serrio is supposed to be a prince, not a prisoner rotting away in the bottom of a pirate ship. His future was royalty, not death in a grimy hunk of wood, but it seems that fate had a different plan. Just when things couldn't seem to get worse, another ship attacks, and James is starting his prisoner journey all over again. But these new pirates are different, to say the least, especially Sage Morrow, the captain, with his black coat, gold buttons, sharp jawline, and steel-blue eyes. There's something about the captain that reminds James of a fire on a cold day. And, there's something about the new prisoner that reminds Sage of home. But there are more important things for James to focus on than a man, like the fact he's somewhere on the vast ocean, in a ship full of hungry pirates, with nothing more than a necklace and a quick brain to call his own. The Sole Prince is the story of James Serrio and Sage Morrow, and their consequential fate after running into each other smack dab in the middle of nowhere.

Thieves of the crown
The kingdom of Orovia bleeds. Every harvest season, the Frost royals send their imperials to strip villages bare. Gold. Crops. Heirlooms. Even lives. Everything claimed in the name of the crown. Alexandra Beaumont has lost enough. When the king opens the army to new recruits, she seizes her chance. Not to serve, but to steal. Beneath the armor of a royal soldier, she hides a secret mission: infiltrate the castle, reclaim what was stolen, and return it to the people who were robbed of everything. But she is not alone. A band of outcasts forms at her side, bound by vengeance and hope. By day, they wear the king's colors. By night, they become shadows on the sea. Pirates who raid treasuries, kingdoms, and crowns themselves. Rebels carving justice out of theft. Yet betrayal stalks the rebellion as closely as the royals do. And when Alexandra's heart tangles with Asher Knight-the general's son, her greatest threat, and her greatest ally-loyalties blur, danger sharpens, and every stolen heartbeat could be her last. In a world where rebellion is treason and love is forbidden, Alexandra must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to take back a kingdom drowning in frost.

When Felix--her friend and former assassin--is taken, Aiko is faced with a difficult choice: to let him go or to risk her life to save his.
