A hundred centuries ago...


A dead prince. 

A presumed mage. 

A befuddled heir. 

And a vengeful princess.

                                    ***

When Prince Jairo is threatened into a marriage with his belligerent sister after he becomes the new crown prince of the Jarwyan Kingdom, he gladly takes on the job of finding and capturing Princess Kestrel of the Ravian Kingdom.

In the East, 14 year old Karsim is down with guilt after the entire Ravian Kingdom is ravaged after he seeks refuge with them. Aided by the young Ravian princess, Kestrel, they now journey to the Barwadyn Kingdom for refuge and to determine whether Karsim really is the Wind Mage.

But as their journey progresses, Karsim begins to realize that there is more to Kestrel than that which meets the eye. 

On the other hand, Jairo not only begins understanding that his brother's death was no simple accident, he also realizes that he may not hate his sister after all. 

On both ends, far more dangerous threats lie ahead. 


💗UPDATES ON SATURDAY 💗


AGE CATEGORY: 16+



[[DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE NOT OF THE PRESCRIBED AGE CATEGORY!!!!]]

The events in this book take place a hundred thousand years ago. Though not the main story, the incestuous unions that prevail in the Jarwyan Kingdom are an important sub plot in this series. Thus, the reader must be mature enough to understand the problematic nature of these traditions and must not endorse them in any way. I don't want 12-year-olds running wild with JamieXCersei 2.0 fantasies. So if you're younger than 16, shoo!


TRIGGER WARNINGS:
-Religious and racial intolerance between  kingdoms 
-Romance (not graphic)
-Forced Marriage 
-War
-Death

And, worst of all, how women were being silenced to prevent more "corruption".

A Crown of Scars by lilperv

King of the North Aeron Rosenthal demands to marry Arven's only princess Aelia Windsor. Pushed to a corner by the only dragon rider left on the planet, the king of Arven agrees. But at the wedding Aeron's true intentions are shown... ________ Reader discretion advised. If you cannot stomach stories that are brutal, unfair, deal with a lot of trauma and angst, I advise you to not even bother clicking on the first chapter. There is enough dark romance/bad boy meets nice girl/ medieval fantasy books here that will be more up your alley. This is very niche and a story that tackles topics that I personally like to engage with, regarding trauma and healing. If you are interested in more complex topics and you do enjoy reading about the human psyche, with a more mature tone, fitting it's time, then I am really happy to take you with me through the story. But for everyone else I am sorry if you started this book with different expectations just to be hit with mature themes and I would really ask for you to not comment how disappointed you are in the direction I take the story bc this is really a story I intended to tell even if it's not for you personally. My english isn't perfect, and I apologize for phrasing things in a very clumsy way sometimes and I appreciate any help to better my writing and criticism regarding my writing. Honestly I really want to tell a story in the most captivating way and every reader is much needed feedback.
The Cursed Prince by missrealitybites
41 parts Complete Mature
"You will be the mother of my children," said the man in a commanding tone. His shameless words rendered Emmelyn speechless and shocked, more so, than the kiss he landed on her lips earlier. "I need three children from you." "Eh ... wait.. what? Hold on a minute," Emmelyn, who was moved from her shock, hurriedly rubbed her lips roughly as if trying to remove the devil's marks from them. "I don't want to be your wife! I don't want to marry you, you devil!!" The man frowned and squinted his eyes menacingly. "Who said anything about marriage?" THE NEXT DAY "Let's go," said the prince. "Let's go where?" Emmelyn asked, not understanding. "Let's go make babies." *** SYNOPSIS: The crown prince was cursed on the day he was born, that he will never be happy. What's worse, no woman could touch him without dying. Thus, finding a wife to produce an heir became the royal family's greatest challenge since the prince is the only son. Until one day.. A slave girl who tried to kill him didn't end up dying after they touched. Emmelyn was a princess from one of their colonies who vowed to avenge her family's death by killing the crown prince.. And that's how she ended up in his castle. Seeing that she was the only woman he could have sexual relationship with, without killing her, the prince made an agreement to let her go and free her kingdom from his oppression if she produced for him three heirs. Emmelyn said yes, but every day that they were together, she made plans to kill him and get her revenge. Can Emmelyn get what she wanted, or would she be entangled deeper with the enemy who was deemed as the devil incarnate himself by his enemies when she found out he was actually more of an angel? PS: The 41 chapters in this book is teaser. You can read the complete story on Webnovel. Go to my Instagram "Missrealitybites" to know more details.

76 parts Ongoing Mature
Alastair Carter is a 27-year-old marketing and management teacher like many others around the world. Well... maybe besides the fact that he teaches some of that world's prodigies, but it's just a small detail. Even though he loves fantasy novels, he has never expected getting sucked into a fantasy world himself. I mean, who does? Follow Alastair and find out how he will deal with this predicament. Will he be nominated as a hero? Will he save the world in crisis or focus on looking for a way back to Earth? Or perhaps, will he settle down and live peacefully? This is the beginning of a great tale... ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★ Chapter description: ❤ - A bit of explicit content ❤❤ - Around half a chapter of lewds ❤❤❤ - WAIT?! IT'S ALL F***ING LEWDS?! Main release day: Monday What to expect: Some light management, a status system in the background, some slavery, wholesome lewding centered around the MC, a slice of life story with some adventuring and lots of lovely monster girls. What NOT to expect: Depictions of rape, mindbreak or abusive mind control, heavy sexual abuse, NTR and other heavy stuff. The title is not a "bait", but please don't expect fully devoted "hot" chapters every other release. It all depends on the flow of the story (which is still a Slice of Life) and might come to a moment where stuff may happen often, but not all the time. ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★ Community Discord for my novels: https://discord.gg/uPjt6DJ My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Saileri
