In an alternate reality of the Enchanted Forest, where the realm is fractured between Queen Regina's shadowed East and the Charmings' golden West, sheltered Princess Emma defies her parents by forging a royal identity using enchanted ink to attend a masked ball as the mysterious Prince Emeric of the lost Emberstalk Empire. There, she unknowingly falls for Regina, and the Queen falls for her in return-each unaware of the other's true name. As secret letters, courtship, and forbidden visits spark a powerful bond, political pressure, betrayal, and magical revelations threaten to destroy everything. But when Emma, standing trial for treason, invokes a forgotten magical vow written centuries ago-the Skyward Pact-the ancient realm itself must decide whether to punish a lie... or honor a love that dares to unite kingdoms.

35 parts Complete Mature
Four years after the storm. Queen Emma Swan rules a fragile Enchanted Forest rebuilt from ashes-but she rules alone. The Pirate Queen who saved her vanished into the mist without a word. In her place come emissaries: eleven powerful figures from fallen kingdoms, all loyal to a ghost. Each brings their own resources, secrets, and debts-answering not to Emma, but to Regina. While Emma navigates a world shaped by someone else's empire, the Ravager sails on. Far across the seas, a stowaway child-Rag-sneaks aboard one of Regina's shadow ships, dreaming of freedom and pirate glory. Instead, Rag is broken down, beaten, and forged in salt and labor under the brutal hands of the crew. What begins as punishment becomes survival, and what survives begins to learn. As whispers rise of assassinations among the emissaries, Emma digs deeper into the Queen's web. She uncovers a hidden empire built over thirty-five years: former prisoners, now nobles and ministers. Survivors of Regina's ship, released with new names and silent vows. She was not the first. And she may not be the last. When one of the emissaries is murdered, the tides shift. The Ravager returns to Hollowdeep, an underwater fortress carved in silence and magic. And the Pirate Queen rises again-cursed, burning, and merciless. Old wounds open. Loyalties crack. Emma must face the truth: the empire Regina built might be the only thing keeping their world from collapsing. But can she forgive the woman who made her a weapon? Can she lead beside her, or must she defy her? And somewhere in the fog, the stowaway watches it all-still nameless, still unknown-waiting for a place to belong.
