A crashlanding, a prophecy, and a ruthless Empress set six unsuspecting people on very divergent paths than they would have ever thought. Set in a very distant future of 12742 CE, we see various groups of humanity, their religions, and how their socio-political ties rise and fall.

Welcome to the Empire. Where the Prophecy is law, and betrayal is the only way to survive it. ***** Two thousand years ago, the Prophecy of Fire and Light foretold the coming of the Queen Empress who would lead the Empire into a time of peace and tranquility. But instead of the coming of a prosperous world, a forbidden love for the Empress waged a war that ravaged the land, creating a chasm between the factions, raising the death toll of innocent lives until the final, bloody battle. Centuries later, Alexandra, a twenty-two-year-old barista living in Boston, is taken to an unfamiliar realm of mystery and magic where her life is threatened by Reylor, its banished Lord Steward. She crosses paths with Treyan, the arrogant and seductive Crown Prince of the Empire, and together they discover how their lives, and their love, are so intricately intertwined by a Prophecy set in motion so many years ago. Alex, now the predestined Queen Empress Alexstrayna, whose arrival was foretold by the Annals of the Empire, controls the fate of her new home as war rages between the Crown Prince and Lord Steward. Either choice could tear her world apart as she attempts to keep the Empire's torrid history from repeating itself. In a realm where betrayal and revenge will be as crucial to her survival as love and honor, Alex must discover whether it is her choice - or her fate - that determines how she survives the Empire's rising conflicts.

The Purple Eyed Girl by pienenspike
58 parts Complete Mature
Thousands of centuries ago humans, vampires, and werewolves lived together in harmony, considering one equal to the other. Ruled by a council of three kings, with one from each fullblood race, peace endured for quite some time. All of it was destroyed when many years later the new vampire and werewolf kings both wanted to rule over the kingdom alone. A massive war broke out between the vampires and the werewolves and millions of lives were lost. In a last attempt to stop the war one hundred years later, the land was divided into three kingdoms, the vampires, humans and werewolves. The borders were shut, crossbreeding was forbidden since it created halfbloods and demons and each kingdom was led by the king of their respective race. In secret, however, it was decided that the human king would watch over them all to prevent another war from ever happening again. Since the human kingdom laid inbetween the other two, the humans invented technology to keep all the races at bay and trained the warriors of their army as skilled hunters. As time and generations went by, the kingdoms became more isolated and the common humans forgot that supernatural beings even existed. However, the war had never truly been resolved so the hatred that the vampires and werewolves had for each other endured. When a mysterious murder occurs, chaos breaks out within the kingdoms. A throne must be taken, blood must be shed, a choice must be made and all must be answered by a girl with purple eyes.

Born from Disaster by erinapatra
2 parts Ongoing
Reina is a young woman who spent 21 years clueless about this other world, this other her. She discovers that she possesses extraordinary powers on her birthday, which marks her last day of peace. Shielded from the truth since the beginning of her life, Reina is initially conflicted and hesitant to embrace her abilities. Reina faces the revelation of her true identity as she navigates a new world filled with dangerous monsters, ancient prophecies, and hidden secrets. While Reina's path is primarily solitary, her new life will call for new acquaintances, perhaps bonds. Reina embarks on a quest to fulfill her destiny, forcing her to confront her weaknesses and embrace her true potential. As Reina delves deeper into the mysteries of her past and the powers within her, she realizes that her role is different than what she was promised. From University to Academy, she always had a choice. But when fates twist and turn, will she be prepared to handle it? "Born from Disaster" is a tale of magic, adventure, and self-discovery, exploring the themes of identity, emotions, and responsibility. On her journey across the realms, she wrestles with destiny, confronts darkness, and discovers what it means to truly belong. -------- ALSO I'll try to post every week on Fridays at 6pm. Cover by me. (I signed, do not use it for profit.) Main male character is (obviously) inspired by Kim Taehyung, but this is not a fan fiction. The prologue might be using the third person, but the point of view of the book is first person. /!\ The book sometimes will describes violent fighting scenes. TW will be put before any chapter that has violence. /!\ I would also like to apologize in advance if there is any mistake or typos, English is not my first language. Thank you for the interest you'll have for my book.
