Book 1 of the Aegan Trilogy

"In the gripping tale of 'An Empire's Fall,' meet Tarys, the young and resilient Lady of Aegan House, who finds herself at the heart of a kingdom's downfall. At a mere 17 years old, she witnesses the catastrophic collapse of 'The Great Aegan,' a once-mighty empire that crumbles in the wake of political turmoil and treacherous betrayals.

Amidst the chaos, Tarys endures the heart-wrenching loss of her parents and the painful separation from her beloved siblings. Miraculously spared by the very forces that shattered her world, she is taken captive and thrust into a foreign kingdom, where her life takes an unexpected turn.

But destiny has grand plans for Tarys. Her strength and determination catch the eye of her childhood friend, a figure from her past who reemerges with a daring proposition. Together, they hatch a daring scheme to resurrect the feared and revered kingdom of Aegan from its ashes. As they navigate a labyrinth of political intrigue, forge unlikely alliances, and muster forgotten strengths, Tarys becomes the beacon of hope for those who still believe in the legacy of Aegan.

'An Empire's Fall' is a sweeping tale of resilience, friendship, and the unyielding spirit of a young woman who defies the odds to reclaim her homeland's glory. Join Tarys on her journey of self-discovery, strategic cunning, and unwavering courage as she embarks on a mission to restore an empire to its former splendor."

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

Cregan Stark/OC - Obligatory NOT self insert I just like making unique characters not in the show/book. Smut, of course. :) ⚠️Warnings: mention/description of miscarriage!!, pregnancy, implied SA, harassment, groping, etc. be forewarned. Not all of this happens to the mc, this is just a list of warnings for things that will be mentioned or referred to in the book so keep that in mind before you read. All characters 18 if there's smut I want to make it clear that my fancast for Cregan Stark is Leo Suter; specifically Leo Suter in Vikings Valhalla. That man is FINE. He is who I write these stories with in mind. * 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧 * Amara Tyrell was born to rule Highgarden. She knows she was.
