In the kingdom of Fiord, Prince Alexander Vallenford has spent years preparing for a crown he never expected to inherit. The assassination of his older brother thrust him into the role of heir, forcing him to transform from a quiet, uncertain royal into a formidable leader. Under the watchful eyes of his father, the king, and the ever-present scrutiny of the nobility, Alex has honed his body, mind, and will, shaping himself into a prince worthy of the throne.
But beyond the palace walls, unrest simmers. The people grow restless, the divide between the ruling elite and the commoners widening with each passing day. In the city of Eldora, rebellion takes root, threatening to consume the kingdom in chaos. Supply convoys are ambushed, noble houses whisper of betrayal, and the High Council demands swift retaliation.
As tensions rise, Alex finds himself caught between duty and morality. The weight of expectation presses down on him-his father demands action, the people demand justice, and the nobles seek to maintain their grip on power. With his trusted valet Tristan at his side, Alex must navigate the treacherous waters of politics, war, and personal sacrifice.
But in the heart of the rebellion stands a man unlike any other-one who challenges everything Alex has been taught, one who forces him to question his own beliefs. As battle lines are drawn and loyalties are tested, Alex must make a choice: uphold the legacy of his family or forge a new path that could change Fiord forever.
In the end, the fate of the kingdom-and Alex's own-will be decided by the choices he makes, and the man he chooses to become.

Threads of Fate
The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics.

The Sword Of Excalibur [MxM] ⚣
Before Arthur Pendragon became King, he was the son of one. The son of Uther Pendragon, a man that exiled all magick from the realm which Britain existed in. Any violation was punishable by death. A public hanging for all citizens bear witness to in order to inflict real fear in their hearts. As a child, Arthur understood and supported such a decision... but once the boy aged to become a man, he soon realizes the horrors his father was involved in to bring about the controversial peace he once sought out. The very peace that was responsible for killing thousands of Druids. Thousands of innocent lives. Arthur has finally grown to an age of true understanding, and has decided that his father's ruling must be brought to an end... a timely death... however the chaos of it all is that he now must seek out a specific druid, one that was born of those his father had killed long ago, in order to assist in his own takeover. And what's even more unfortunate is that while Arthur is betrothed to another woman... Guinevere, a woman of true virtue... he cannot shake the feelings he soon develops for a man. A Druid... a Sorcerer no less. Arthur hadn't expected the man to appear with such good looks, nor such mischief and mayhem that could rock the noble's plans of ruling over Britain as its true King.
Veiled in Light and Ruin
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.
Alpha descent: A Human's rise to power (MxM)
(MxM) Wolf's blood, human body & Alpha soul. A Maelstrom merge that was left to be dealt by one person alone. Alexander Wolf, the born-human descendant of the greatest pack of his world, is the sole heir of the Alpha of the prestigious Prime Crescent Pack. His birth has always been a calamity, a distress. Every breath he takes reminds him of the misfortune he's caused to his parents, family, and pack. Although welcomed, he doubts their sincerity, as he lacks a wolf and the ability to shift like other werewolves. He's spent his life alone, hiding behind high walls and large doors whenever his parents tried to introduce him to the pack. But now, with his coming of age, he must step forward into alpha duties and serve his pack. Will he find himself ruling with grace, or will he run away like he always has? Will he give up his birthright due to the Moon Goddess's cruel twist of fate? As a human in a wolf pack, his life is far from fortunate, unlike his human mother, the Luna, who is protected by the powerful Alpha, his father. However, he can't escape the whispers within the pack: "Can a human really be our next Alpha? No way!" His life is already a mess, and the Awakening Ceremony, a significant milestone, has shaken him to his core. He doubts his ability to fulfill alpha duties and find a mate bond, especially without a wolf of his own. Will he find someone to accept him without being looked down upon? Can he satisfy his primal urges without being a werewolf himself? But he doubts whether he'll have a mate at all. Cover by @CuteFairyDust Started: 28/06/2024
