Ruby Alvaria is living a double life. At Maxton Hall, an elite English boarding school known for wealth, ambition, and ruthless gossip, she's just another quiet student with modest clothes and a sharp mind. But behind the low profile and guarded smile lies a royal secret: Ruby is the youngest princess of Alvaria, a small but influential European kingdom.
No one knows - except the school's director.
Not even her boyfriend, James Beaufort, the school's golden boy and heir to a powerful empire, suspects the truth.
Everything changes the day her older twin brother, Prince William, arrives at Maxton Hall. Regal, confident, and unmistakably royal, William's presence turns heads... and raises questions.
A single kiss on the forehead. A phrase spoken in a foreign tongue. A bow from the headmaster.
As Ruby's identity begins to unravel, so does the quiet life she's carefully built. But in the unraveling comes something unexpected: freedom.
As Ruby navigates the world between royalty and reality, she discovers new friendships, deep trust, and the strength to be her full self, crown and all. James stands by her side, but it's the bond she shares with her friends, her brother, and herself that transforms her from a hidden royal into a young woman ready to embrace her future.

Aurelia
Her name was written in golden ink, and nothing would ever be the same. Aurelia never imagined her quiet life would matter to anyone-until the Quill of Calling inscribed her name in glowing gold, marking her as chosen. Now she's a student at Crowned Star University, an ethereal academy hidden far from the world she knew, where future royals and magical beings are shaped into something greater. Within its velvet-draped halls, she finds freedom for the first time... and something else stirring-something forgotten, blooming slowly inside her. Her magic doesn't follow rules. It pulses with emotion, echoing fear, softness, longing. It reacts to dreams. To safety. To pain. And to them. There are whispers about the four princes-each one cloaked in power, mystery, and something she can't quite name. Wind, shadow, light, and stone. Their eyes linger too long. Their presence shifts the air. And somehow, without meaning to, Aurelia begins to belong to places-and people-she never thought would see her. But when a cursed book begins to pull on her soul, and a ghost starts whispering truths no one else dares speak, Aurelia must decide who she is: the girl who was written in gold... or the one who will rewrite the story entirely. * * * Contains age regression, mental health issues, graphic scenes, abuseComplete

Maxton hall, living room of the richest names cohabiting together in England and in the world. Here, invisible is the code name for us. Parties, alcohol, sex, fun are the taste of a golden marriage that we are forced to contemplate all day long in the hands of our comrades born with a silver spoon in the mouth. Maxton hall allows us zero faults, to reach the best universities, back straight and eyes looking directly to our goals, no distractions allowed. And i always did well, actually, i was the best. Who would have thought that this year, instead of serenely watching high school drama, I'd be in the middle of the cage. Back folded in half by none other than the great James Beaufort. ꨣ creds : © story / mine © cover / @cinnewun

Velbridge Academy
Welcome to Velbridge Academy - where royalty, wealth, and legacy aren't just inherited... they're weaponized. Tucked behind gilded gates and hidden from the public eye, Velbridge isn't your typical elite boarding school. It's the academy of the crowned, the heirs of empires, and the future rulers of the world. Power isn't taught here - it's expected. When Lilith Aurelian, an ordinary girl with a quiet past and a sharp mind, earns her place among the thirteen - a group made of royalty, aristocrats, and heirs - she doesn't just step into privilege. She steps into centuries of secrets, tension, and rituals built to break the weak. What begins as icy stares and velvet walls becomes something else entirely. Between intimate spa rooms divided only by curtains, private jets that whisper confessions in the dark, and late-night lounges where power slips through murmured words and steady hands - Lilith discovers that belonging is far more dangerous than exclusion. Friendships bloom. Trust fractures. Love simmers beneath silk robes and stolen glances. And just when the group begins to heal, a single mistake threatens to unravel it all. Because at Velbridge, one wrong move isn't just social suicide - it's legacy death. This is Velbridge: where loyalty is tested, intimacy is a silent language, and the only thing thicker than blood... is the silence that follows betrayal.Complete
