In the kingdom of Lévant, where political intrigue is as thick as the fog that shrouds its streets, Raina Lost is known as a mercenary with no morals and a willingness to do any job for the right price. Trained in the art of deception by her grandmother, Raina's skill in lying and manipulation has made her a valuable asset-and a dangerous enemy.

When Prince Lysandre hires her for a covert mission, Raina is thrust into the heart of the kingdom's political machinations. Tasked with spying, stealing secrets, and eliminating threats, she must navigate a web of alliances and betrayals where one misstep could mean her death. Lysandre's ambition to claim the throne pits him against powerful houses, each with their own agendas and shadowy tactics.

As Raina maneuvers through courtly intrigues, her actions leave a trail of whispered legends and fearful admiration. She infiltrates noble houses, listens at keyholes, and scales rooftops, all while keeping her true intentions hidden. But as the stakes rise, she must confront the ghosts of her past and the dangerous game she plays.

In a world where trust is a rare commodity and loyalties shift with the wind, Raina's unique talents could either secure Lysandre's ascension or lead to her downfall. Amidst the political turmoil, Raina must decide if her survival is worth the cost of her soul.

[I made this story for @KaleaReigns aka my aunt] In a world torn by war and bloodshed, Lyara's fate is shaped by both ice and fire. Born into a lineage of power, she is the daughter of two houses-one known for their unyielding northern strength, the other for their fiery, royal blood. But her true heritage remains hidden, leaving her to navigate a treacherous path between two worlds that would never expect her to bridge the divide. Captured by the fearsome Dothraki, Lyara's strength and resilience quickly earn the respect of their leader, Khal Drogo. As the fierce warrior slowly becomes the khaleesi of his people, she must confront both the brutality of her captors and the complexities of her own heart. Amidst the chaos of Dothraki life, she forms a bond with Drogo unlike any other-one that challenges everything he thought he knew about power, love, and loyalty. But when whispers of her true parentage begin to surface, Lyara is thrust into a game of politics, revenge, and betrayal. Allies and enemies alike will test her resolve as she struggles to forge her own destiny, all while navigating the ever-present danger posed by the forces who wish to see her destroyed. As her relationship with Drogo grows, so too does the threat to her life-and to everything she holds dear. She must face the truth of her heritage, make impossible choices, and ultimately decide what kind of ruler she will be. In the end, the question remains: Will she conquer the world at the side of the Stallion, or will the fire of her family's past consume them both?

Lyra knew that one day she would be set into an arranged marriage like a chess piece. She had been preparing for it her whole life, and she was almost alright with her fate. But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors. There have been many wives of his before Lyra, with no explanations to the untimely deaths of the previous five. With each dead Queen came more money from their kingdoms, straight into the King's portly lap. Disguised as a young man, Lyra runs from her duty as the only Princess of Nordic. She cuts her hair, takes her steed and disappears into the night with her father's men hot on her heels. Enter Kaladin's team. Occupation: Mercenaries. Lyra uses skills taught to her by a close, childhood friend and plays herself into the trust of the dangerous strangers until they accept her, or rather, "Navani", into their group. What will happen to her once they see through her web of lies and tricks? Will Lyra give herself up as Princess when she is reunited with her long-lost friend, or will she carry on as a boy with the mercenaries? Follow Lyra to see what she will do when she comes to realize that things have gotten far too big for her to handle on her own. There are assassin's out for her head, king's thirsting for her blood, and an underground network of people who live for her ruin. But there is also an unlikely Prince to defend her, who has some tricks of his own to rely on. The Princess soon sees that she is not nearly as alone as she may have once thought. What will Lyra do when she comes to terms with her destiny? Will she face it this time with her new friends, or will she chose to run away again? Cover made by @-rebellixus-
