A stolen crown. A silenced heir. A flame that won't be contained.

Empress Selene claimed power with lies, ruling an empire of fear behind beauty and fire. But in the shadows, Marielle Rosa knows the truth a birthright erased and a throne forged in deceit.

When Emperor Kairos returns to a broken kingdom, betrayed by the woman he trusted, he must choose: rebuild with the rightful heir or let the fire consume what remains.

 In a realm where legacy is buried and truth burns, justice rises from the ash.

The Exiled King | ✔ by Calagtic
117 parts Complete
Fifty years ago, demons invaded the mortal realm of Dargon, leaving a trail of destruction across the five kingdoms. The six Guardians of that generation united the kingdoms and fought back against the demons, scattering their ashes to the winds. Then, they vanished into legend, and with them, their powers. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? There are rumours that another demon army gathers in the fiery realm of the Abyss, greater than the first and led by a cunning mastermind whose motivations are unknown. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death. Trilogical Compilation | Books 1, 2 & 3 (If the number of chapters seems daunting, just know that most of the chapters are short) [Fans of The Stormlight Archive may enjoy this book] Rankings #14 in fantasyadventure (Out of 32.1k stories) Cover by Azanthiel

15 parts Ongoing
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyssm of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥

This is a draft. It's not complete and currently writing. I'll be editing and changing things as I go but will post revised when I change or update things. ****** In Extrovia, every crown is built on blood. Princess Dahlia Loth was born to play the role of the merciful heir: silk-clad, silent, and obedient. But behind palace walls, she is her father's favorite victim-punished for kindness, scarred for defiance, and promised to a man she despises. Her mother can heal wounds, but not break chains. Her brother plots rebellion, but the cost may be everything. Her sisters cling to innocence in a kingdom that devours it. And when an envoy from Nytherra arrives under the guise of diplomacy, Dahlia's mask begins to crack. Secrets are revealed, alliances tested, and the fire she has buried for years threatens to consume the throne itself. Their leader.... Makes Dahlia feel things she's never dreamed of. A tyrant's reign is not eternal. A princess's silence is not forever. And a crown-once broken-cannot be mended.

𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧 By Savannah Selene Exiled for a crime she didn't commit. Branded a traitor by blood. Now, Lyra Thornevale enters the gates of Noxmere Academy with fire in her heart-and vengeance on her mind.

Armed with her spellbound instincts and the loyal protection of her Shiba Inu, Kitsu, Lyra is determined to unearth the truth behind her family's ruin... no matter what it costs. But when she crosses paths with Talon Everhart, the storm-wielding heir to a cursed throne, everything begins to unravel. He's powerful, unreadable, and far too close to the truth she seeks. He may hold the key to her past... or the blade that severs her future.
