A PLOT, A COUNTESS AND AN HEIR

Myrina Mai, Countess of Li Han, is in trouble. With her close friend and confidante Princess Irina now married in another country, all she wishes is to retire back to her own land and regain control of her own estate. However, her power-hungry uncles are doing all they could to block her return. With no one else to turn to, she requests superior and rival, Crown Prince Ryan Gu, for assistance.

And who was Ryan to refuse? For the past decade of his life, he'd wondered what happened to the girl Myrina used to be. The girl she was before her father died and Myrina was forcefully kept in the Scarlet Palace, playing the games she never wanted to. She was free to go now, and he was not one to refuse her, even if he'd always secretly hoped she'd stay.

Throw that in with an assassin after his life, his recent discovery that Myrina was secretly wiccai, and a traitor running amongst their midst-the two have plenty in their hands. And as the schemes stack up and the scent of treachery grows, Myrina wonders if leaving would be easy as she thought it was before.

A SHIP JOURNEY & A TALE OF TREASON After an unfortunate string of accidents delay their voyage to Arecia, General Justine Lan and her Arecian counterpart, Gabriel Stoneworth, are forced to travel together in the week-long journey. Rather unfortunately, the two had detested each other from the moment they'd met. Sometimes they couldn't even remember what had started the avid dislike. Perhaps it was each other's attitudes. Perhaps it was because they clearly were playing at different games here. Or perhaps it just couldn't be explained. But no matter. They just needed to survive their journey to Arecia. Fortunately, they're accompanied by old friends: the Earl and Countess of Farnsworth, Marcus and Cassalyn; and the Viscount and Viscountess of Archsham, Laurence and Ciri. Except... someone seems to be after them. Turns out, the ship they're travelling holds information of treason and tales of betrayal, and someone wants to silence them before they could pass anything on. But surely, with two battle-experienced generals and four spies, nothing could go wrong?

This is the real world, Rosa; nobody ever does what they want! Everyone sacrifices something. What are you doing!?"

WitchHunter ✔️ by EmilyAnnGoodwin

A WitchHunter with a glorious destiny. An assassin desperate for freedom. A stable boy with a dangerous secret. A friend with a hidden family. A brother who craves vengeance. ~~~ The deceit is this: The Hunter has a Lochri daughter. The stable boy has a secret curse. The WitchMaster isn't what he appears. No one knows how or why the Lochri came into being. Some believe it was the work of gods. Others, many, many others, believe they are spawned from something much darker. WitchHunters, employed at Hunter's guilds, live their lives in search of these monsters, these unnatural beings who dare to question the order we have kept in place for centuries. I do not hold the title of WitchHunter, however, for I am something far more sinister. I am Alice, the Demon Raven of Kindleridge, and I'm their Ace. ~~~ They call her the Ace, the assassin owned by Velius Dag, highest ranking WitchMaster in the Kingdom. For six years, the Ace has lived mostly unbothered, but all that will change when Hale Arsen, Velius's adopted son, returns to the Ridge, and the Ace is assigned to protect him, as he will one day become the future WitchMaster. Tensions rise as the two clashing personalities come together time after time in feud, but with the Lochri problem growing ever stronger, and secrets begin to unravel themselves, these two opposing forces will have to realize that working together may be the only way to keep the world from figuring out the truth that could spell disaster for them all. What happens when you realize you might be the bad guy?

They say birds sang and flowers bloomed despite being in the winter, and all the animals in the world bowed down as he took his first breath. He is known as the legendary emperor.
