A story of two kingdoms fighting for the right to live. A love sprouts in the least likely place. Orders to romance with in his highnesses court.

    In a kingdom, far away from all else, a baby is born. He is born from money lust and the need for power instead of love. The young boy is brought into this world to take on his father's place when the old bastard finally kicks the bucket. Johnna, the young boy bread for nothing but the need to procreate. The child who was supposed to destined for greatness, instead was made to walk in his father's footsteps. Big, deep, cold and uncaring. The boy once wished to make his father walk in his shoes for once, to see the burden of his expectation he placed on a boy who was not yet even six years old. The priority to marry and produce an heir to keep the bloodline royal, instead of creating a child out of love and excitement.

From this, tears and agony reigned from the king's filthy cruel hands, each cry of another mother being slaughtered in front of her infant child, collected by the prince. He always heard them even when the people thought their prayers were going unanswered. He kept them and looked at them every night, weeping for them, weeping with them. Side by side. No difference between king and peasant.

There was only one thing left for Nicolas to do: step into a role he had never meant to fill. A role thrust upon him, whether he was ready or not. As he stood on the edge of his new life, he'd never felt more himself, more powerful-and more terrified. In one moment, he would shed his past, leave behind his fears, and become the man the world needed him to be-the one who would end the divide and unite the kingdoms. Or so he hoped. For years, Nicolas had buried the truth of who he was. He had conformed to expectations-a king who never faltered, a good Catholic, a man of the people. But the man he truly was, the man he had long hidden, didn't fit into that mold. A short gay man who relied on knowledge rather than the blade of the sword in a world that demanded strength, masculinity, and tradition from its rulers was a far cry from the church's image of a king. Faced with the confirmation of his role, the expectation to marry and produce heirs seemed almost more terrifying than the war looming on the horizon. But what truly crushed him was turning his back on his relationship with the man he loved in favor of one that would satisfy the court. With battle closing in and the kingdom looking to him for answers, one wrong move could destroy everything he had worked to protect. The enemies were not only at the gates-they were in his court, watching for any sign of weakness. Yet, as the pressure of leadership mounted, Nicolas realized that the greatest threat he faced was not the war but the truth of who he was.

Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book!

46 parts Complete Mature
Once the unseen, forgotten son, Nicolas Matesscu now finds himself thrust into the unforgiving spotlight as the soon-to-be King of Dezna. But the weight of the crown is a mere shadow of the guilt that haunts him-the heavy burden of his family's sins and the accusations that threaten to destroy him. All eyes are now fixed on him, and he soon learns that being king is not about wielding power. It's about the survival of his people. Nicolas has inherited a throne soaked in blood and stained with insurmountable problems. An Elven army marches ever closer from the north, and the possibility of peace has long since evaporated. The kingdom's future rests on his shoulders-and he wasn't prepared for any of it. He never asked for this-he never wanted to bear the weight of a fractured kingdom. To survive, he must convince the lycan horde that he's worth sparing. In a world where weakness is a death sentence, he faces a brutal ultimatum: unite with the most unlikely allies or watch his kingdom-and everything he's ever known-be torn apart. Nicolas must rise from the shadows of his past to save his people. He must prove to his enemies and allies that he is not the broken prince they expect him to be. Survival will demand more than just political cunning. It will require strength from places he never imagined, alliances he never thought possible, and a future he never wanted but might have no choice but to accept. To unite a splintered kingdom and rise above his past mistakes, he must become the ruler no one ever believed he could be-or lose everything in the process.
