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.

Painful games that force people to fight to the death in order to get a small chance of survival. Love that turns tragic. Mythical beings who are all very much real. And of course, lots and lots of chaos and magic. If this sounds interesting, check this story out. You will meet the Blood Witch, forced to kill for the bloodthirsty gods who have taken her captive. You'll meet the warlocks who are kind, not evil, and all want to protect their friends and family.

The is now a SAMPLE ONLY. The story will continue EXCLUSIVELY on AnyStories. "Hello little one" came a booming voice, deep and sultry that made my stomach flutter like wings of a butterfly. "My Lord" I replied, keeping my head down, a quick curtesy, and eyes glued to the floor as if the marble tile was the most interesting pattern in the room. The auras coming from the dragon king was so demanding I felt like I could pass out. "Look at me little one. We do not bite. Much." the voice commanded, although gently it held power. A few snickers softly resonated. I took a breath and gently rose my eyes to meet the most beautiful golden eyes. I was so entranced that I almost didn't hear the one word that was going to change my life forever. Little did I know just how much my life was about to change. "MATE." It took me a minute to register what just happened. Excuse me? Did i just hear the word mate? Oh shit. -------- Everly lives in a world where supernatural creatures live side by side humans.

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 Lost Princess by yerd213

I glare at him, yanking at the bonds. He laughs softly. "Oh princess, you're so delicate. Do not struggle, we wouldn't want you to break, would we?" He whispers. I snarl at him but he's right, I'm sick and weak at the moment and the cold rain isn't helping matters. I turn away, coughing and choking on blood, but swallow it quickly, not wanting anyone to know my state. He smirks slightly. "Why are you so cruel?" I ask curious at his behavior. In the Castle I was kept away from the outside world by my parents, who told me of the dangers that lurk in it. However the servants and the cooks, who lived outside the protective wall of the Castle, always seemed like good people. "Cruel," he scuffs. "I am not cruel. Your kind is. Sitting in your castle, while families starve, homes burned to the ground because the blasted taxes are too high to pay. Cruelty, my dear Princess, is a word you and your family are all too familiar with." His words felt like a slap in the face. He can not be speaking truth. The kingdom loves my parents and they would never allow their people to starve. #384 in Historical Fiction 3/27, #361 in Historical Fiction 3/28, #312 in Historical Fiction 3/30, #291 in Historical Fiction 4/8, #287 in Historical Fiction 4/9, #285 in Historical Fiction 4/10, #265 in Historical Fiction 4/24, #256 in Historical Fiction 5/7, #225 in Historical Fiction 5/13. #218 in Historical Fiction 5/15, #119 in Historical Fiction 5/17, #112 in Historical Fiction 5/26, #95 in Historical Fiction 5/27, #83 in Historical Fiction 5/31, #67 in Historical Fiction 6/1, #53 in Historical Fiction 6/15, #26 in Historical Fiction 6/23, #20 in Historical Fiction 6/25, #16 in Historical Fiction 6/26, #13 in Historical Fiction 7/2, #10 in Historical Fiction 7/8, #5 in Historical Fiction 7/10, #12 in Historical Fiction 9/2, #13 in Historical Fiction 9/4, #7 in Historical Fiction 9/5, #5 in Historical Fiction 9/6, #7 Historical Fiction 1/8
