Two worlds, as different as us, stand on the precipice of change. One war is about to end with it regains peace, and the split of an empire by its own sword.

A rebellion in search of freedom. In the heart of conflict, a forbidden love wants to bloom, its petals forced to close because of the amidst the thorns of vengeance and the ache of love unreturned.

An old memory as old as time whispers through the ages, carrying the burden of betrayal. Among the echoes, two figures emerge cloaked in treachery, but only one harbors deceit in their heart.

As our last grains of hope slip through the hourglass, our time dwindles with the fading light. Souls intertwined, we bear the scars of a wound for which there is no salve. In the twilight of our days, a question haunts our every step: will the chasm between us ever close? In the dance of destiny, will our paths cross once more?

One of us has to die.

Welcome to the Empire. Where the Prophecy is law, and betrayal is the only way to survive it. ***** Two thousand years ago, the Prophecy of Fire and Light foretold the coming of the Queen Empress who would lead the Empire into a time of peace and tranquility. But instead of the coming of a prosperous world, a forbidden love for the Empress waged a war that ravaged the land, creating a chasm between the factions, raising the death toll of innocent lives until the final, bloody battle. Centuries later, Alexandra, a twenty-two-year-old barista living in Boston, is taken to an unfamiliar realm of mystery and magic where her life is threatened by Reylor, its banished Lord Steward. She crosses paths with Treyan, the arrogant and seductive Crown Prince of the Empire, and together they discover how their lives, and their love, are so intricately intertwined by a Prophecy set in motion so many years ago. Alex, now the predestined Queen Empress Alexstrayna, whose arrival was foretold by the Annals of the Empire, controls the fate of her new home as war rages between the Crown Prince and Lord Steward. Either choice could tear her world apart as she attempts to keep the Empire's torrid history from repeating itself. In a realm where betrayal and revenge will be as crucial to her survival as love and honor, Alex must discover whether it is her choice - or her fate - that determines how she survives the Empire's rising conflicts.

Renouncing the Emperor's Heart

57 parts Ongoing

[ON A BRIEF HIATUS] "I no longer want you." Emperor Richard de Tristaine fumed as he looked upon the woman he was ready to abandon just a few weeks ago. "You don't mean that," he gritted out through clenched teeth. Empress Jovine smirked at the look on her husband's face. For months, he had neglected her, trading empty words of affection to placate her yearning heart, then leaving to find company in the arms of another woman. But now, she was done with it all. Done with him. "I mean every word, Your Majesty." ---- After dying an unjust death at the hands of her husband's mistress, Empress Jovine de Tristaine finds herself transported back to the past. With a burning hatred for the Emperor who discarded her and the woman who shattered her marriage, the changed Empress vows revenge. However, mysterious gaps in her memory and newfound knowledge of a corrupt political scheme within the Empire cause her to question her loyalties and the reason behind her husband's betrayal. Not only that, evidence of magic from legends as old as time, the Emperor's unexpected obsession with his wife's sudden change of heart, and a new suitor set on winning over the Empress's heart, lead her down a path of warring emotions, conflict, and power. Will she triumph in her quest for revenge, or is fate an inevitable course?
