A boy on the run. A secret buried in stone. A kingdom that hunts its own.
At the edge of a forgotten ruin near the borderlands, a desperate escape sets off a storm of blood and betrayal. One young survivor carries more than just stolen relics, he carries questions the Kingdom of Campaglia would kill to silence.
Pursued by royal soldiers and haunted by the weight of a past he won't name, he flees north toward the Republic of Sorochia. But crossing a border doesn't end a war, it only changes the battlefield.
In a world where magic is myth, and power is the only truth that matters, one nameless boy must outrun the consequences of what he's seen... and what he's lost.
The Ruins of Antatalia is the first installment in a sweeping fantasy saga about identity, grief, and the quiet rage that comes with being forgotten.

🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Complete
