In a village bound by ancient customs, King Adeola faces immense pressure to produce an heir. Despite his efforts with three wives and two concubines, no child has been born to secure his lineage. As the kingdom's elders demand his removal due to his lack of an heir, the king's world is turned upside down by a shocking revelation from his past.

Years ago, during his youth, King Adeola fathered an illegitimate son, Ifeanyi, with a woman named Kemi. This forgotten secret resurfaces and threatens to unravel everything the king has worked to protect. As rumors swirl and the king's brother conspires to seize the throne, the kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos, while the king's health deteriorates under the mounting strain.

Forced to confront his past, King Adeola must make a dramatic choice: publicly acknowledge Ifeanyi as his son and secure his place as the heir or risk losing everything. Amidst intense family conflicts and political intrigue, the kingdom's fate hinges on the king's decision and the acceptance of his newly revealed son. Will peace and stability return, or will the kingdom fall into disarray?All Rights Reserved

Crown of Vows by drokurr

In a world where bloodlines determine power and loyalty binds kingdoms, Karma Azaroth has always known his place in the royal family. As the second son of the ruling king and queen, he's spent his life shadowed by the expectations of his older brother-the heir to the throne. But when an unexpected alliance with the angel elves demands Karma's attention, his world is turned upside down. Maelis Vermillion, a fierce and captivating princess from a distant kingdom, is the key to solidifying the pact that could change the course of history. Bound by a promise to unite their realms, Maelis is everything Karma never expected: beautiful, intelligent, and deadly. Her presence stirs a fire within him he cannot control, though their union is forged in duty, not desire. As the two navigate the delicate web of royal politics, their forced engagement threatens to fracture as their hearts are torn between love and loyalty, duty and passion. With enemies lurking in the shadows, not all is as it seems, and when trust is shattered, a deadly game of power and betrayal begins. Karma must decide: Will he honor his family's vow and protect the future of the kingdom? Or will he risk it all for the woman who has come to mean more to him than the throne itself? In a world where crowns are worn with a price, their vow may not be enough to shield them from the darkness closing in. Passion. Power. Betrayal.

But when fate binds her to King Ace, a ruthless ruler feared by all, she finds herself trapped in a marriage forged from vengeance and deception. Ace is cold, calculating, and dangerously unreadable. To the court, he is a king without weakness. To Lureila, he is the man who took everything from her. But as whispers of rebellion stir and ancient prophecies resurface, she realizes that her hatred might not be enough to survive what's coming. Because the truth is more horrifying than the lies. Every queen before her has vanished. Every heir born has shaped the kingdom's fate-for better or worse. And now, with war looming and a prophecy hanging over her unborn child, Lureila must uncover the secret that has doomed generations of queens before her. The key to breaking the curse isn't their child. It's her. But Ace has spent his life guarding that truth. And if Lureila dares to defy history, she might not only destroy the kingdom-she might destroy the man who was never supposed to love her. Perfect for fans of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, morally gray rulers, and dark fantasy intrigue, Crown me, Curse me is a tale of power, fate, and a love that could either shatter the world or save it

Royalty or Love!!! #1,#2,#3. by background21

For the people to feel the Royalty of the blood in their veins doesn't mean that they are ruling their kingdom, or they have some Kingdom. Their lineage to the ancestors who are former and last rulers is more than enough to get the pride of being a royalty which they were taught from the time they started learning things. Three Princes who are not going to rule someplace, but they have the title because of their bloodline and have education, wealth and skills in many things at the top range. However, to be able to love is a wealth which cannot be achieved by simply thinking about it or by some lineage. They may be the Princes in the matter of their birth and the life they are leading, but they will learn more about the real wealth from three women who are princesses by heart. The things they believe and trust will build a wall stopping the love from these princesses to reach them. Will it be broken to make it possible? If it is, then how and by whom? Or will prove to be too late by the time it breaks? Join the journey of six people who are in different moments in their lives, but destiny always has a way with them...

The Heirs of Honour by yasha1021

Rule #1: Never break the rules that keep you alive. Rule #2: Don't let your family find out you broke Rule #1. Rule #3: If you break Rules #1 and #2... run. Fast. The Firdaus brothers run an empire built on honour, secrets, and the occasional violation of international law. On paper, they appear to be legitimate businessmen. Off paper, they're the reason half the city doesn't sleep at night. They are respected, cunning, and dangerous, and somehow still get roped into helping with homework. Bound by the ancient Tawla rules and a strict code of conduct, the Firdaus mafia thrives in the shadows. Betrayal is met with a single, unforgiving consequence: death. After a seventeen-year exile, Sinan, the eldest Firdaus brother, returns to find his once-familiar world irrevocably transformed. A drug lord taking over their city, his younger brothers turning grey from stress, and his only son falling for the one girl he shouldn't be near. Meanwhile, the next generation of Firdaus heirs is trying to survive high school, trauma, and the occasional kidnapping, all while preparing to inherit a criminal empire. Rule #20: Secrets here are like currency. And the Firdauses are filthy rich. The Heirs of Honour is a story about loyalty, legacy, and what happens when you try to raise emotionally stable children in an emotionally unstable environment. Nobody is normal. Everyone is armed. And family dinners are never a dull moment. Will the heirs rise to claim their destiny, or will the sins of the past destroy them all?
