Paladins Series Finale: In the great kingdom of Gascony, in the cliffside city of Ambraude, there is a queen and king who have sworn to use their power and influence to protect and serve their people and country. Even against themselves.
Manon, newly crowned Queen of Gascony, has trained her entire life for this moment, and still finds herself woefully unprepared. Her people hate her, her staff are trying to kill her, and the peace she traded her life and hand for is at risk. The only joy she has in her life now is her husband. A man she married out of obligation and necessity. A man she doesn't know from a stranger off the street. A man that makes her heart flutter and her belly ache with longing. If only everything and everyone in his life wasn't trying to kill her, it might be a happy marriage.
Jacques, newly crowned King of Gascony, has fought his entire life for this moment, only to find that it's trying to take everything he loves away from him. His kingdom is ripping itself apart, he can't trust even the people he's known the longest, and his wife, the one he's sworn to protect above all others, is at risk just by living. How can he serve his people when they seek to take away the only thing he ever wanted for himself?

The city stirs and shakes and trapped within it, Addie is losing herself. Being a spy is all that Addie knows, and she's good at it. She agreed to sacrifice any claims to glory, fame, or even basic recognition to serve her country. Having her body broken in the line of duty seemed inevitable.

Ash and Blood
A kingdom sold. A prince forgotten. A woman whose fire might be the end of him... or his salvation. Thorian under the alias Corrin, the last heir of a fallen house, lives in the shadow of his burned past, hidden behind a false name and the armor of the knightly order that raised him. When fate places him in the path of a silver-haired stranger with fire behind her eyes, he expects trouble. He doesn't expect her to change everything. Loona is sharp-tongued, guarded, and dangerous and hiding a secret of her own. As kingdoms stir and ancient powers awaken, Thorian finds himself torn between duty and desire, drawn to a woman he barely understands and haunted by a legacy he can't ignore. But secrets have teeth, and the deeper they fall into war, prophecy, and blood, the harder it becomes to tell who is saving who and who is damning them both. Loyalties will be tested. Love will be twisted. And before the heir can reclaim his crown, he must first decide what kind of king and man he's willing to become. Note: I am trying to avoid most pitfalls that seems to be in every fantasy story lately and make it more relatable to the reader when able. Some pitfalls may be unavoidable though. Also, I only use AI for editing, art and world building assistance. The eventual goal is to hire an actual editor and artist to eliminate it entirely. That being said I don't have any issues with anybody using AI as long as they don't ghostwrite with it. What to expect: Male Lead/ some Female lead when applicable Slow Burnish Kingdom Building Romance Medieval time period/with fantasy aspect Battles Some erotica World Building 30 Chapters laid out maybe more, at least 3 books planned (If I make it that far)
Prey
by nature, im a loner. nobody dares to bully me though. try as they might they cant fathom my strength and ability. but it comes with a price. nobody even dares to call me a friend without peeing their pants in fright. but this tiny vixen got the courage to sway me into submission to his every whim and wishes. im a top predator and hes of the lowest of low. but why cant i get enough of him? born in a world where humans and shifters intermingle and common in society, ive became someone my parents are proud of. ive never dreamed of disappointing them. hence, i tried my best to be likeable to everyone. and i mean everyone. i tend to shape my personality to fit in to avoid the bitter reality that if they knew my kind, i for sure be up under their feet. survival of the fittest they might say. but how come when im with you, i smiled sincerely. i converse wholeheartedly. i touch you honestly. the heavens might strike us due to our incompatibility but can society really be the basis to how and whom we truly convey our feelings? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- if you're interested, please, see my other books: First Book: worthy to be mine Blessed Moon Series: blessed moon saved love warm thirst silenced 2nd Generation Blessed Moon Series: freak siren's call craving death impeccably yours solace Other Books: violet prison prey i read comments and i reply to them occassionally. i read messages and i reply to them if necessary. please leave votes if you like them. im super thankful for giving me your leisure time to read my works. see you on my other books.

A Promise of Blood, The Tales of Old
Aricia, born to the greatest house in Exelia and heir to its throne finds herself at the centre of the city's greatest recorded conflict, everything she loved torn from her. Never knowing blood and death, she is thrusted into a gruesome new world, one of which she is willing to indulge in for Exelia's lawful right of freedom. Carnade became the commander of the exelian military as a young man due to his vast knowledge and skill in combat. His loyalty is unmatched, willing to do whatever it takes to defend his family and the rightful exelian heir, even if that means opposing his king. Vermont, known for his honor and his code, so much so that he was named the golden warrior, will fight for his cause, for the defectors, even if that means forcing Exelia to submit. Outraged by the dishonors of war, he will do his damnedest to precede with caution, but when there is conflict, there will always be men looking for exploitation. Joba, seeking vengeance against the soul devourers who took his family from him, joined the defectors and brought them to Exelia. This may have been his greatest mistake, forcing him into a moral dilemma. On one side, duty tells him to fight for the defectors and seek vengeance, but love tells him to fight for Exelia. No matter his choice, he will have to live with the consequences. This is A Promise of Blood, By Dominik Sorensen. I hope you enjoyed the introduction, the first three chapters.
