Book Two of The Iron Vow
By SilentKnight
Months after uniting a broken kingdom, King Seris stands not at the dawn of peace, but on the edge of a deeper storm. As the realm rebuilds, ancient threats rise from the forgotten corners of the world-whispers of a lost empire, a secret order sworn to the Old Gods, and a prophecy that names Seris as both savior and destroyer.
Haunted by the weight of the crown and the ghosts of war, Seris must navigate treacherous politics, strained alliances, and a growing fear that he may not survive the very peace he fought to win. Meanwhile, Yrena, battle-hardened and loyal, struggles with her place in a kingdom that no longer needs a warrior-and with feelings she's kept hidden far too long.
Together with a new circle of unlikely allies-a cunning desert rogue, a reluctant mage hunted by his own kin, and a girl who may hold the last key to the old magics-Seris must uncover the truth behind an ancient Oath that predates his kingdom. For in the shadows, something stirs. Something bound in iron, blood, and time.
And this time, it is not just a crown that is at stake... but the soul of the realm itself.

The Crown and the Sky: My King with the Broken Stars
"They led her to the top of the world to marry a king she had never seen. The throne was empty. The silence, frozen. The marriage, an alliance sealed without love." In an empire where power is passed down like a curse, Sérenya , a young queen from the distant island of Tsaravina arrives to find a court that whispers behind her back, a chain of gold around her wrist, and a husband who never came. Bound by silence and exile, she soon learns that love is not enough to rule a kingdom. But perhaps it's enough to awaken a broken soul. Caught between two languages, two cultures, and two fires, she must choose: bow down like those before her... or rule like no one ever dared. A story of silence, fire, and shattered skies - where the heart speaks louder than the crown.Concluida
The Emperor's Obsession
"She was promised to a prince. But taken by a monster who calls himself king." In a realm ruled by blood and empire, twenty-four kingdoms bow to one throne - and at the center of it sits Emperor Zareth Ravaryn, a vampire older than most dynasties, cold as obsidian, and feared as much as he is obeyed. Princess Serenya of Vayrana was never meant to catch his eye. Gentle. Devoted. Already betrothed to the human prince she loved from afar. But one imperial ceremony changed everything. When the Emperor sees her - veiled in gold, eyes full of light - he names her his future Empress. She refuses. He doesn't ask twice. Now torn from her homeland and chained in silk and duty, Serenya finds herself in a court of shadows, where power is worn like perfume and secrets drip from every whispered bow. But Zareth is not just the monster she feared. He is obsessed. And his obsession doesn't break... it consumes. As the blood empire trembles under rebellion, forbidden longing ignites between captive and captor, and the girl who once dreamt of love must decide: Will she fight for her freedom- or burn for his throne? Dark fantasy meets imperial seduction in this slow-burn vampire romance - with original lore, dangerous rituals, forbidden love, and a heroine who was never meant to kneel.

An echo of Kings
"How do you mourn the dead, when the world says they never existed?" In the Kingdom of Varkhaz... truth is dictated by the stroke of a brush, and history can be rewritten with a trace of ink. Feria Hagalder spent the first fourteen years of her life confined within a 'golden cage,' and the following four years as a 'ghost' hidden deep within the forest. She is the survivor of her family's massacre. Yet, what is far more terrifying than the edge of a blade is the fact that her family members were erased from every record, as if they had never existed in this world at all. But amidst the silence, Feria hears voices... They are the fragments of distorted memories, visions of things that do not exist, and echoing reminders that her 'identity' might not be the role she is currently playing. As vengeance begins to devour the "little lamb" mask she has forged, Feria must make a choice: remain hidden in the shadows for the rest of her life, or step back into the vortex of lies to reclaim her erased name. In a world where anomalies are an omen of doom... she is willing to become a demon to rewrite the truth with her own blood. 📖 What to Expect ✔ Dark Fantasy & Cosmic Horror ✔ Psychological Dread & Isolation ✔ The Mystery ✔ Ancient Gods & Eldritch Curses ✔ Slow Burn Character Growth ✔ Loss of Humanity ⚠️ Content Warnings ✔ Violence & Gore ✔ Psychological Trauma & Gaslighting ✔ Body Horror ✔ Dark/Mature Themes 📅 Update Schedule ✔ weekly Updates - every Wednesday & Sunday ★ Schedule Notice: Due to health issues, updates will be irregular.

Onyx
The ashes of Elarion still clung to my soul, a bitter reminder of the price we paid for freedom. Seren, my sun, my moon, my everything, stood beside me, her hand clasped in mine. We had won, but the victory tasted like ash in my mouth. The queen was gone, her tyranny extinguished, but the kingdom she built, the kingdom that had once held Seren captive, was no more. "We should start fresh," I told her, my voice rough with the weight of what we had done. "The Wildlands. A new kingdom, built on hope, not fear." Seren's eyes, always a window into her soul, were filled with a sorrow that mirrored my own. She knew the Wildlands were a dangerous place, a place where the fae lived in ancient forests. But she also knew that it was the only place where we could truly be free, where we could build a new life together, free from the shadows of the past. I would protect her. I would be her shield, her king, her lover. I would make sure that the Wildlands would become a haven for us both. But I knew, even as I made the promise, that I was not just protecting her from the dangers of the world. I was also protecting her from the loneliness that had always been my constant companion. I had been a king for far too long, a lonely king with no one to share his burden, no one to love. But Seren, with her bright laughter and her compassionate heart, had shown me what it meant to be truly alive. I would give her the world, even if it meant facing the shadows of my own past. ________ This is book 2 of Seren and not a stand-alone.
