The sudden death of the 13th monarch of Herithyia led to the ascension of Queen Berenice Emera of House Beaufort-Spontin. Under political necessity, the queen was thrust into marriage with Lady Eris of House Crowe, a union designed to solidify alliances.

Unbeknownst to Berenice, Eris harbors a dark ambition: to usurp the throne and claim the crown for herself.

When an ancient prophecy suggests that only those who embrace forbidden arts can stave off a looming catastrophe, Eris seizes the opportunity to manipulate the queen, leading Berenice into a realm of moral ambiguity.

Love holds no place in Eris's ruthless quest for power; every action is driven by a relentless drive for control. Yet, as Berenice begins to unravel the Lady's carefully constructed façade, she creates cracks in Eris's resolve, threatening to shatter the very foundations of their dark alliance.

As Herithyia teeters on the brink of shadow, will Eris's relentless quest for control lead to the kingdom's ruin- and threaten the fragile bond she is beginning to forge with the queen?All Rights Reserved

The Queen Of Eternity by oindriya

UNDER HEAVY EDITING Love. That's a strong word. It breaks you into a million pieces yet somehow manages to put you back together. Power. Self explanatory, isn't it? Who doesn't want power? But power makes you do things that seem psychopathic until you do it. *** The wars have started since Kayan took over the throne after killing his own wife. Esmeray has been his executionist more than she is his daughter. But not all that seems to be, is true. What happens when everything Esmeray has known to be right, proves to be wrong? What happens when the lies reveal themselves? What happens when love and power truly mix? {#7 in feminist} at 16.10.21 BOOK 1 IN THE 'LEGACY' TRILOGY © All rights reserved

The alliance between your two kingdoms was established long before your births, a bond forged through treaties and promises of unity, yet it has often felt more like a burden than a blessing.

His laughter echoed in your ears, a constant reminder of the rivalry that had been ingrained in you since childhood. Yet, everything changed during the Annual Arkann and Solarian Peace Ball. The grand event was meant to celebrate the unity of your kingdoms, but it felt more like a stage for the same old games. As you entered the ballroom, adorned in a gown covered in lace and butterflies, you steeled yourself for another evening of forced pleasantries and veiled insults.

Dangerous alliances [slow updates] by wuraola-writes

❝You're mine, my fucking wife Adora and I'll be damned if anyone else can have you❞ Zasha Sokolov has built his life on one unbreakable rule: never get attached. In the cold, ruthless world he inhabits, emotional distance is his only armor against the haunting pain of a past that refuses to stay buried. This detachment has been his key to survival and the reason for his meteoric rise to power. But when the position he's fought his whole life to attain comes with a condition-a forced marriage-Zasha's carefully constructed world begins to crack. Adora has always been a beacon of light, masking the shadows that linger in her life. But when her abusive family sells her into marriage to pay off her sister's debt to the Bratva, she quickly realizes her so-called new beginning is nothing more than a fresh kind of hell. Trapped in a union that promises nothing but pain, Adora clings to the hope of escape-until she meets the man she's destined to marry. Zasha never anticipated that his bride would be an arsenophile with a smile as disarming as her fascination with death. Adora's blend of innocence and darkness stirs something in him that he's long suppressed, something that could destroy the fortress he's built around his heart. As their lives become entwined, passion and danger ignite, threatening to consume them both.
