EAST MEETS WEST

The Emperor of Yi Ti doesn't just want power-he wants legacy. In the East, magic born to an imperial child is a sign of the Mandate of Heaven: divine right to rule, blessed by the gods. And he has that sign-his daughter, Princess Ruyan, the first spiritwalker born to the imperial line in generations.
But that is not enough.
He wants the magic to pass through the male line. In Yi Ti, incest is forbidden. The Targaryen path is closed. So he looks west.
Two bloodlines still carry the old magic: Dayne and Stark. Ruyan is sent to secure the wolf-blood. Her mission: forge an alliance, birth a daughter with spirit-walking and Northern gifts, and return that child to the imperial line.
She was not bred to be a bride-she was trained to complete the mission. Diplomat. Strategist. Player. She enters their courts with silken grace and imperial steel.
She will play in the War of the Five Kings.
And she will play by their rules until she doesnt.
The dragons may have been exiled from Westeros...
...but another kind of dragon has come from the East.

The Silence Between Our Hearts.
Lin Qiyan was born into perfection - wealth, intellect, and a family name that demanded nothing less than obedience. When her parents arranged her marriage to Zhao Yichen, a stoic heir from another powerful family, she accepted without protest. Their relationship was built not on love, but on duty - a quiet coexistence wrapped in respect. But the morning after their wedding, Qiyan's life is stolen. Her soul is torn from her body, cast into a cruel world where she becomes a nameless girl with nothing but scars. Trapped with abusive parents and stripped of her identity, she learns what it means to suffer, to endure, and to break. Years later, when death finally releases her and she awakens once more in her original body, the world she knew has not paused for her pain. Her husband is distant, her family unchanged, and her heart no longer whole. Haunted by memories of violence and silence, Qiyan must learn to live again - to find warmth in the man who was once a stranger, and to rediscover love in the quiet between two broken hearts. A story of loss, healing, and love that blooms from the ashes - The Silence Between Our Hearts is a tender, heartbreaking journey of what it means to return, not as who you were, but as who you've become. --- If someone comes up with a better photo, please comment. And I'm working to get the full story out as fast as I can, so bear with me, I'm going to try to get 5 to 10 chapters a day out. Any comments on the book would be encouraging.

Children of Dragons | Aemond Targaryen
"It had been a long time since Aemond had known real fear. So long that he couldn't even recognize the feeling when he came upon the man drowning his betrothed in the bath. That fear was replaced with anger. Rage. He had known rage. He knew it well enough to know what was to come next. Nothing could stop Aemond Targaryen as he tore the man from Aemma. Aemond did not spare the look of surprise on the man's face a second thought. His fist collided with the man's nose first. Then his cheekbone. Then his right eye. His nose. His left eye." ~ Aemma Velaryon is the eldest daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen, the Black Queen. Aemond Targaryen is the youngest son of Alicent Hightower, the queen of the Greens. When they are arranged to be wed, a reluctant but reliant bond is forged. Can their love rise above the flames set alight by their parents? Or will the forces at work push them to opposite sides of an oncoming war? [fanfiction inspired by the House of the Dragon show]
Destined Rivals, Fated Lovers
In the snowbound lands of Gusu, King Lan Wangji is feared for his icy silence and merciless justice. For him, rules are sacred-and dark magic is an unforgivable crime. Far away in the forgotten village of Yiling, Wei Ying lives a simple life-cheerful, chaotic, loud, dramatic, and way too charming for anyone's good.and also hiding a tiny, forbidden magical secret (okay, maybe not so tiny). He protects his people . To his small clan, he's not only a king-but a savior. When Gusu declares war on Yiling, the silent king and the theatrical troublemaker are forced to face each other. Swords clash. Sparks fly. And somewhere between battles and bickering, a different kind of war begins-the one in their hearts. Expect: • Flirtations hidden under death threats • Accidental romantic confessions mid-fight • Melodramatic exits (and entries) by yours truly, Wei Ying • Wangji being emotionally constipated but somehow still hot • Forbidden magic, ancient secrets, and a love neither destiny nor war can deny Because destiny may have made them enemies-but fate? Fate has a wicked sense of humor. This is a BL (Boys' Love) fantasy filled with comedy, romance, mystery, overacting, and unapologetic flirtation. If you're ready for chaos, cuddles, and conflict-welcome aboard. The characters may resemble real people, but they are entirely fictionalized and do not reflect the real personalities or lives of any actors or individuals. Hate is not welcome here. Respect and kindness are always appreciated. Thank you for reading and supporting my very first story!Dokončeno
Blood Oath
Pandora is a world bound by ancient laws, where clans survive through fragile alliances and the spirits of nature listen in silence. Here, power is paid for in blood, and love between leaders can become an act of war. Zay'nari, the Tsahik and queen of her clan, is known as The Moonborn Queen and The First and the Final Light. The stars answer her call, and the night itself seems to bend to her will. She knows a great power sleeps within her, but its true nature - and the secrets of her origin - remain hidden. When awakened, they may change Pandora forever. Varkhan, feared as the Bonebreaker, is the leader of a rival clan shaped by war. His strength is merciless, his will unyielding. He is neither hero nor tyrant, but a weapon forged by fire and necessity. Their clans have never been allies. Fire and night do not unite by choice. When a greater threat forces the clans into an uneasy alliance, a bond between Zay'nari and Varkhan becomes forbidden - dangerous enough to shatter the fragile balance holding Pandora together. What begins in hostility slowly turns into a dangerous trust, then into something far more powerful. This is a dark epic tale of forbidden love, ancient power, and a union that may save Pandora - or be the beginning of its end.
