Elina Thorne is a princess who loves her kingdom more than anything, and she would do whatever it takes to protect it. This time, however, she questions that loyalty. Her father, King Fredrick of Aeloria, is on the brink of war with the neighboring kingdom of Orithia. The ruler, King Leopold, has ordered his troops to close in on Aeloria, cutting off their food supply and trade routes, unless King Fredrick can come up with a peace offering. However, with resources dwindling, he was left with only one option: his daughter. So, Elina has to make a decision: Her kingdom, or her freedom?
Simon Valemont is a carefree young prince whose only desire is to escape his fate of becoming king. However, his father, King Leopold of Orithia, is demanding that he find a wife to carry on the kingdom's legacy. Simon isn't having it. He has never liked his father's way of ruling. He's a cruel and selfish king. He takes everything he wants and destroys anything in his way. He has no mercy or compassion for his subjects, and Simon doesn't want to follow in his footsteps, but he doesn't see a way out.
When the two finally meet, it's clear that this marriage won't be easy. However, they have no choice but to go through with it. Will they find a way to make this marriage work? Or will this attempt at an alliance end in one of their kingdoms in ruins?
(Side-note: This is the first story I've written in a while, and I'm not sure of my publishing schedule just yet, but will be doing my best to keep it as consistent as I can! Thank you for reading! <3)

Embers of the Godfire
An enemies-to-lovers fantasy of power, war, and the slowest of slow burns. ⸻ When the Dominion burned her kingdom to ash, Lysandra Vale swore vengeance. Gifted - or cursed - with fire from a sleeping god, she leads a fractured rebellion across the dying lands, hunted by the Empire's most feared weapon: a soldier forged in shadow and bound by duty. Kael Draven was bred to obey. As the son of the Dominion's High General, his life belongs to the Empire and the god whose power runs in his blood. But when a battle leaves him face-to-face with the rebel girl whose flames mirror his own, his loyalty begins to crack. Bound by a power older than empires, their fates collide - in war, in prophecy, in something that feels too much like yearning. Every clash brings them closer, every choice sharpens the knife between them. As ancient forces stir beneath the mountains and kingdoms crumble above them, Lysandra and Kael must decide which will consume them first: the fire that ties them together... or the one that could burn the world apart. ⸻ A sweeping fantasy full of: 🔥 Slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension ⚔️ Found family and rebellion 🌌 God-blood magic and political intrigue 💔 War, betrayal, and forbidden yearning For readers who love The Poppy War, The Jasad Heir, The Cruel Prince, and The Sword of Kaigen - "Embers of the Godfire" is a tale of two enemies bound by destiny, haunted by gods, and undone by the very power that should have destroyed them.
The Duchesses
Aurora opens her eyes only to feel the agonising pain in her body. That is to be expected when there has been an accident. It's excruciatingly painful. Aurora groans in pain and pulls off the blanket, taking in her surroundings. It is more appropriate for a hospital interior design to look to the mediaeval era. Not shabby, but more on the extravagant side. The nurses' attire, on the other hand, appears odd. Someone said out of nowhere, "Her Grace, please wake up! Call the doctor right away!" Aurora approaches the mirror and looks at the woman with deep red eyes in it. The woman had blonde hair that, while a little messy, flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her fair complexion lends her an ethereal appearance. Not to mention that her outfits make her look like a noblewoman from a historical series. She pinches herself, only to realise that the blonde woman staring at her is herself. A thought struck her mind, as she utters her first statement in this world, "Fuck me". Medea has finished her work, but she is still unsure how to fix all of the messes. She hasn't been herself in a long time, and it's bothering her. The throne seems so far away, and the weight of the burden grows heavier with each passing day. A letter from the Imperial Palace has arrived, instructing the Duchess to look after the House of Smith's Duchess of Light, Natalie Wilson Smith. As an evil scheme was about to unfold, she smiled wickedly. 'This is my new card.' p/s: I can't find the original owner of the photo of the cover, if you know or you are the owner of the cover.

The Firebound Heart...By Mehek.
They were supposed to shake hands-not make out in the royal gardens. Crown Prince Mason is stubborn and arrogant. So is Princess Elira. Their mothers call it a "perfect match." Obviously, chaos ensues. The palace has a way of turning hearts into something else entirely... Cue royal drama, stolen glances, and way too many "accidental" touches. He'd burn the world for her. She might just let him. A slow-burn royal romance dripping with heat, heart, and the kind of love that could ruin crowns.Concluida
Ashes of Desire
"Alina's life was nothing but misery-a string of heartbreaks, betrayals, and endless pain. Desperate for a way out, she made a deal with the Devil himself, never expecting to become the obsession of Hell's most dangerous ruler. As she's drawn deeper into his world, Alina learns that bargains with demons always come at a cost, and sometimes the greatest danger isn't losing your soul-it's losing your heart. A „tale" of forbidden romance, sharp humor, and unbreakable resolve-where even in the depths of Hell, hope burns brightest."Concluida
Forgotten
//He had my hands pinned tightly above my head as I squirmed beneath him. The blade twisting between his fingers. He held it up to my throat. I was afraid but refused to show it. "Hurt me." I said between gritted teeth. He just gave me a sorrowful glance before driving the dagger into my flesh.// This is no story of love and happiness. This is a story of death and destruction. One of a man and woman who met one night and not only changed the lives of themselves, but the lives of a whole world of people. One was fire and one was water. They were perfectly balanced. Until one night when the sun fell just below the tip of the tallest castle, the balance faltered, and all hell broke loose. Fire on fire. This is no memorable story that was told on for generations after. No. This is a story of the forgotten. ------------------------------------------- The prince and princess are forced to marry out of their fathers hatred for one another. Yet, there's a falter to the plan and murder gets involved.

To Be Understood

When Albert's grandmother arranges a marriage between him and the woman no one else dared to claim, neither expects anything more than polite tolerance. Yet as quiet understanding grows between them, so does something neither of them believe in anymore*hope.* A slow-burn historical romance about second chances, quiet strength, and love that blooms not from perfection, but from shared scars
All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Concluida

Then Lyana's power slips out in his hands, and he realizes the rumors are true. Lyana is not just gifted. She may be the last Soulbearer, the one the King needs to awaken the dying Queen. Awakening the Queen demands a sacrifice. Kaiden does the unthinkable. He runs with her. They are hunted by the King and the Circle, and trapped by a prophecy that insists Lyana's life is the price of salvation. Kaiden carries a secret no one can ever learn. He is a prince declared dead, and the Queen's son. If the Crown catches them, Lyana will be offered. If the Queen rises, Lyana falls.

I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim.
