In the kingdom of Eloria, loyalty is bought, betrayal is expected, and every crown sits on a throne of knives.
When the dying king whispers his final command to his bastard son, Lorian Averran is thrust into a world of blood oaths, secret lovers, and power-hungry nobles. As rival houses scheme and trueborn heirs circle like vultures, Lorian must use charm, wit, and ruthless calculation to survive.
But the crown doesn't just bring power-it brings enemies. And in a court where every smile hides a dagger, trust can cost you everything.
Power is earned. Loyalty is a lie. And bastards don't stay quiet forever.

One Sin
Nobody knows his real name. The world knows him only as Asra - and the world is afraid. In a Republic built not on crowns but on money, fear, and seven unseen families who own everything from the armies to the gods, Asra is the thing they never planned for: someone with nothing left to lose. For generations, Aurevia has lived in the shadow of their greed - its mines stripped, its people silenced, its crown reduced to a puppet's ornament. The world calls it peace. Those who remember call it slavery with better manners. Now Asra is dismantling it all. Piece by piece. Leaking secrets, igniting markets, turning the power of the seven against themselves. The world calls him a terrorist. But those who've lost everything see him as something else entirely: a reckoning long overdue. Far from the eyes of governments and kings - in lecture halls and back alleys, in midnight boardrooms and burning cities - a war is being rewritten. Not for freedom. For vengeance. Because in a world built on sin, it only takes one to bring it all down.

His goal: to dismantle the monarchy from within and claim power under the guise of loyalty. But something happens he didn't plan for - he falls in love. Seraphina, too, finds herself drawn to the darkness she's been warned to fear. In Damian's arms, she discovers freedom - the kind that feels sinful but real. Yet when the truth unravels, her love turns to fury, her heart becomes a battlefield, and the crown she once feared to lose becomes her weapon. Now both must choose: Power or love. Duty or desire. Revenge or redemption. Because when the heart belongs to the enemy, the throne becomes the price.Complete

However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete
