In the kingdom of Eblus, the royal family is made up of eight complicated people: stoic King Hugh, who has a terrifying secret; Queen Beatrix, who's drinking problem has begun to escalate; and their six daughters, each with complex lives of their own. Youngest and most innocent Princess Poppy finds herself constantly being left out until she learns a shocking truth; Princess Violet is so much smarter than how others see her, and she's tired of it; striking Princess Chantelle is a hopeless romantic, and the media threatens to strip the only love she's ever known from her life; all-knowing Princess Ivy has reformed herself from her old partying days... until someone she hoped to never see again somehow winds up in her life; and eldest Princess Eira is exhausted of being the mother that Queen Beatrix never was. The family is hiding secrets within walls, feelings within people, and hate within love. Soon, everyone will know the secrets they so desperately try to hide...

𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐒 | 𝘈 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘙𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦
In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules are of the utmost importance. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince-while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable... but not too amiable. Nadine Amory, the daughter of a viscount and the ward of an illustrious family, enters the season with every advantage: beauty, charm, and the endorsement of Queen Charlotte herself. Yet despite her impeccable reputation, the tide swiftly turns against her. The gossip columns of the mysterious Lady Whistledown cast doubt upon her desirability. And more pressingly, her overbearing eldest cousin, the Viscount Bridgerton, has made it his personal mission to see off any man he deems unworthy-a category that, to Anthony's exacting standards, appears to include every potential match. Julian Perrin, the brooding and enigmatic Duke of Albans, has recently returned to London. He has no intention of marrying, haunted by a painful past and determined to defy the expectations forced upon him. But when he crosses paths with Nadine, an opportunity arises: a fake courtship. If they pretend to be in love, Julian can avoid ambitious mothers eager to secure a titled son-in-law, while Nadine's desirability skyrockets in the eyes of potential suitors. Their deception is flawless-at first. But beneath the ever-watchful eyes of London's elite and the sharp quill of Lady Whistledown, pretense begins to blur with reality. And in a world where marriage is a transaction and love a frivolity, neither Julian nor Nadine anticipates the greatest scandal of all: a passion that refuses to be feigned.

Under a Gilded Cage
Gilded: (Adj.) Covered thinly with gold. In the crumbling kingdom of Fraus, the death of the royal family has plunged the realm into chaos. The law targets the so-called Aberrants: young people marked with a mysterious "7" on their left wrist, destined with dangerous powers that the regime fears and seeks to eradicate. Ivelle Aarelaid, a resourceful young woman, is driven by a singular purpose: to protect her younger brother, Blaine. With his abilities making him an even more vulnerable target, Blaine's survival hinges on Ivelle's courage. In a world where fear is law and the extraordinary is condemned, Ivelle must decide how far she is willing to go to defy a system built on cruelty-and whether the bonds of blood and hope can spark a revolution that frees not just her brother, but all those marked by fate. _______ "What do you want?" Ivelle asked, her hands fidgeting more. "What I want," he leaned forward, a breath away from Ivelle's face. Ivelle tried her best to not make her eyes fall to his plump lips. He was alluring. His skin dazzling like a million stars that are trapped on the surface. "Would you give it to me if I asked?" He whispered out, his breath touching her lips. _______ Note: This is entirely my work. I plan to make it a trilogy later in the future. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it!
