In the sun-drenched kingdom of Solara, where power is as coveted as love, three princesses from rival realms are summoned to the Imperial Court to compete for the hand of Prince Caelan Aurelius, heir to the Phoenix Throne and bearer of a prophecy that promises unity or ruin.
Each royal contender is armed with beauty, wit, and ambition, but only one can rise as Queen.
Lady Seraphine of Emberfall, the fierce warrior princess with a blade as sharp as her tongue.
Princess Alira of Virelle, whose courtly grace conceals a ruthless mind.
And Mei of the Eastern Isles- the youngest, underestimated and determined to prove that even the softest petal can conceal deadly thorns.
As trials of diplomacy, combat, and cunning unfold within the golden walls of the palace, secrets stir in shadowed corridors, alliances fracture, and hearts are tested. But Mei harbours a secret, one that could tip the balance of the crown... or destroy them all.
In a battle of queens-in-the-making, love may be the greatest weapon or the deadliest trap.

Chains Made Of Silk (Completed)
Aurelia was once a nameless maid-obedient, quiet, invisible. But years of servitude taught her one truth: power doesn't belong to those who inherit it. It belongs to those willing to bleed for it. One night, she seized it. She slaughtered the royal family, took the crown, and made herself Queen. The only one she spared? Seraphina-the former princess, now a prisoner in her own palace. Once her mistress, now her captive. Once her dream, now her regret. But history between them runs deeper than anyone suspects. Before rebellion, before betrayal... there were glances. Secrets. Longing. And something dangerous neither of them dared name. Now, with Seraphina under house arrest and Aurelia sitting on a throne drenched in blood, their story begins again-not as ruler and servant, but as two monsters shaped by love, obsession, and the cost of freedom. Maybe she wanted the crown. Maybe she just wanted her. Maybe... she wanted both. ⚠️ Content Warning: dark romance, manipulation, obsession, murder, power imbalance, confinement > More of this chaos?
