Lyra never imagined her ordinary life would come to a crashing halt until she was reborn into a world of power, manipulation, and royal intrigue. Now inhabiting the body of Celestine Avelore, the notorious villainess in a world where every decision could mean life or death, Lyra is determined not to be a pawn in her own story.

Celestine Avelore is known for her beauty, cunning, and ruthless pursuit of power. Engaged to the charming Prince Darius, Celestine's future should be secure except for one thing. The arrival of a seductive concubine threatens to turn everything upside down. But Celestine won't be a mere spectator in her own life. With a second chance, she decides to seize control, using her beauty, charm, and manipulation to bend the world to her will.

However, an unexpected encounter with the enigmatic Archduke Kaelren, a man who seems to know more about her than she expects, forces Celestine to question everything. As she unravels the secrets of this new world, she finds herself caught between power, romance, and betrayal.

In this world full of intrigue, manipulation, and passion, can Celestine rewrite her fate before it's too late? Or will the past she's trying to escape catch up to her in ways she never expected?

A Heart Untamed by kaycat_writes
4 parts Complete
Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.

Veiled in Light and Ruin

20 parts Ongoing

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
