Of Empire and Embers (Flemington I)
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.
