Zora was born royal, but her life has been anything but lavish.
Locked away in a tower for a deadly power she can't control, she's spent years hidden from the world-and from the truth. When the rival Umbral kingdom proposes a truce, Zora is given a single chance at freedom: use her ability to spy on the visiting princes.
But nothing goes as planned.
What begins as a mission for redemption turns into a descent into secrets, power plays, and forbidden thoughts. And when Zora finds herself drawn to one of the princes, she realizes she may have stepped into something far more dangerous than her prison walls.

Beyond The Barrier
Amra wakes in an unfamiliar forest with no memories of who she is or how she got there. Strangely, she bears the pointed ears and ethereal beauty of the elves, despite knowing she is not one of them. Taken in by an isolated elven village, she quickly realises she is different-her magic is ancient, untamed, and far beyond anything the elves have seen. Under the guidance of the village's enigmatic head mage, she begins to unravel the secrets of her power. But it is the fierce and distrustful warrior, Zarion, who makes her question something deeper, her place among the elves, her growing connection to him, and the truth buried in the fragments of her past. As whispers of a forgotten prophecy and the threat of the outside world draw closer, Amra must decide where she truly belongs before the past she cannot remember catches up with her... and changes everything, including her heart.Complete
The hidden heir:Beyond the crown
In the high-tech, magic-touched kingdom of **Aurelia**, every royal is born into the spotlight - except one. **Princess Elara Vale**, the youngest child of the royal family, was hidden from the world after a prophecy declared she would "awaken what was lost." To keep her safe, her parents erased her existence from public records. She grew up surrounded by love from her siblings but always behind walls, longing to see the world for herself. When her secret is accidentally leaked, Elara runs away - not in rebellion, but in search of freedom, identity, and purpose. In the neon city of **Ravenport**, she meets **Kael Arden**, a quiet mechanic with no memory of his childhood and a strange amulet that glows in her presence. As they form a bond, they're joined by a group of unexpected friends - a hacker, a healer, and a street magician - each searching for their own truth. Together, they discover that Kael is the lost prince of the long-vanished Shadow Realm, kidnapped at birth, and that the prophecy ties both of them to the future of their worlds. Through their journey, Elara learns what it means to live beyond a title. Kael learns what it means to belong. And their friends - ordinary people with extraordinary hearts - become the family they choose. It's a story about **finding friendship, courage, and self-worth** in a world that often defines you by what you were born to be - not who you choose to become.

For The Sword
"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
