When a renegade priest prophesies an imminent apocalypse, a conflict is sparked which will tip a continent into war.
Prince Kendryk is young, handsome and popular, his kingdom prosperous and peaceful. But in the face of the prophesied apocalypse, he must choose between conscience and power. If he chooses the side of faith, he must defy the ruthless Empress Teodora, ruler of a vast empire, imperiling kingdom and family— but if he chooses the side of power, he risks plunging his world into a darkness worse than war.
The coming conflict will touch the lives of thousands, among them…
Prince Kendryk’s adored wife, Gwynneth, the proud daughter of a king, whose ambition may come at great cost…
Braeden, a violent mercenary, commander of a legendary winged army, who will find himself in the service of an employer he must defy to protect those he holds dear…
And Janna, the merchant’s wife, forced to abandon her home and her way of life, ill-prepared to keep herself and her children safe from the ravages of war…
An epic fantasy saga drawn from real history, Rise of the Storm is Book One in the compelling new Desolate Empire series.
Rise of the Storm is the first book in the Desolate Empire series, a historical fantasy based on the Reformation and Thirty Years War. You can find out more about the real events that inspired this on my blog.
The completed book will be published soon, but in the meantime, I will post short chapters every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Thanks for reading and I love any and all feedback!

The Serpent's Enigma
‟Tonight shall be the first and last night that we spend together, Gianita, for I do not intend to produce heirs by this marriage. The Prince would still be my heir, even though you're the Empress.‟ ‟Then why keep me, Sire, if I am of no use to you? It's obvious that you do not intend to add any more members to the imperial family besides yourself and the Prince, so why marry me?‟ *** Gianita, a princess from an eastern country is sent to marry the widowed Emperor of Angletonia, a vast and prosperous empire in the western hemisphere. To her dismay, the Emperor prefers the companion of his young son instead of his new bride. There were no traces of his previous marriage, only that the wife died shortly after the Prince was born. With his past clouded with riddles, will she be able to unravel the mystery that is him? ━━━━━━━━ Featured on Wattpad profiles: @Romance, @Fantasy, @WattpadAsianFantasy, @HistoricalFiction, @WattpadHistoricalRomance, @WattpadMulticultural, @generalfiction and @cupid.

AGUDA EMPIRE :- The Birth Of The Divine Prince
AGUDA EMPIRE: The Birth of the Divine Prince This novel is original-not a translated work. After the fall of the mighty Aguda Empire, now remembered as the African continent, history was rewritten by the greatest civil war ever known. Influenced by foreign powers and beings from distant worlds, the once-proud empire collapsed into chaos. (To uncover the full history of this war, read AGUDA EMPIRE: The Legend of Omalinze.) Aguda, once radiant and unshaken, fell to her knees. Her tribes, clans, and kingdoms were broken, chained, and ruled by forces beyond mortal power. The gods turned silent, and hope seemed lost. But prophecy speaks of a child-the Divine Prince. Born from the ashes of defeat, his destiny carries the weight of a fallen empire. He is foretold to rise with a power so great that even gods will tremble before his presence. He alone holds the key to reclaiming what was stolen and restoring Aguda's glory. Yet fate is never simple. Will this champion of prophecy truly deliver Aguda from her captors, or will he fail like the others who bore the title before him? Will the Prince of Aguda rise as savior-or fall as just another forgotten warrior? Dive into a world of African fantasy, mythology, and epic fiction, where gods, warriors, and kingdoms collide in a battle for destiny. Perfect for lovers of African novels, African fantasy novels, and African fiction, this story will transport you into a rich world of prophecy, betrayal, and divine power. AGUDA EMPIRE: The Birth of the Divine Prince is not just a novel-it's a legend reborn.Concluída![Dìlseachd - A Stolen Crown [Excerpt only] | NOW A PUBLISHED NOVEL](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/70283760-256-k106854.jpg)

Princess of the Highlands Trilogy Book 1 ~~~ A TIME OF DARKNESS Six years since the Danes invaded Scotland, slaying her finest men. Five since the Highland King married one of the enemy, betraying his countrymen and losing the Lowlanders' support. Three since the king died and the Danes imprisoned the remaining blood heir to the throne. Her crown stolen, her country desolated, Fiona McCurragh now faces the looming threat of execution. The Lowlanders, weary of enemy rule, seek to free their stolen homeland. With the aid of a blind harper, they attempt to rescue their Highland princess when the Danes ride in on Lowlander territory, shattering the fragile peace. The Scots are left with no choice except to launch a war in the face of the coming winter. If they do not attack now, the Scots-and their princess-may not live to see the spring. In the face of despair, Fiona McCurragh finds courage in friendship with two chief's sons. Yet conflict lies on more than one side, and for some of the Scots and their allies, loyalty no longer has any meaning. --- **FEATURED on Wattpad's Blast to the Past List** **Highest Ranking: #34 in Historical Fiction 8/24/2020** January Book of the Month in Historical Fantasy in The Gladiator Pit Top 5 in The Historical Award 2019 Best Technical Skill in Fiction in The 2019 Futhark Awards Best Historical Fiction Chapter in What a Chapter Contest 1st: Earnesty Awards 2017 Hidden Gems Awards 2017 The Paper Plane Awards 2017 The Chaos Awards 3!

The Tyrant King's Queen
"Look at me properly and try to remember." He implored her, his silvery eyes boring into hers. Maya raised her nervous eyes to meet his. Searching her head, she tried to remember where she may have met this man before. As she stared at him, a sense of familiarity began to settle. Those eyes... she'd seen them before. Where has she seen them? One by one, the images came. The pictures from a time she had forgotten. She had helped someone with eyes just like this. Still in his embrace, a daunting realisation began to set in. She'd met this man before. Long before he even dreamed of being a king... **************** A tyrant king conquers a kingdom so he can get married to her forgotten princess. People expect a marriage filled with strife and everything but none of that happens. Instead he treats her right, worships her and kisses the very ground she walks on. Why is that? People wonder. The reason is quite simple. Years ago, the same princess had saved his life from the bitter hands of death when he was betrayed by his half brother, the crown prince of Madonia.

Of Dragon and Sorrows - Book 1
A Kingdom Forged in Blood. A War Born of Lies. A Destiny Written Beneath the Moon.** For ten long years, the Noble Houses of Devraen and the Tribe of the Sea have drowned the North in frost and fury. What began as a single act of violence has become a war of pride, grief, and vengeance - a war no one truly understands. When the battlefield falls silent and the last embers die, Meher - the fallen heir of the Tribe of the Sea - must kneel before the king he once swore to destroy. With lives bleeding out behind him and his honor in chains, he accepts a bitter truth: Sometimes, peace demands more courage than war. But Devraen is not built on mercy. Beneath golden crowns and sacred banners, shadows move. Truth is twisted. Allegiances rot. And a serpent in black armor smiles beneath a borrowed light. As Meher and Amane uncover whispers of a hidden force - one that fueled the conflict for its own design - they must choose: Serve the kingdom that shattered them... or expose a darkness ancient as the snow, patient as the sea. Loyalties will break. Secrets will rise. And the North will learn: Not all enemies wield swords. Some wear crowns. Some offer peace. And some... are born in shadow. Genres: Epic Fantasy • Medieval Intrigue • War & Politics • Slow-Burn Power Struggle • Loyalty vs Destiny For readers who love: The Witcher, Game of Thrones, Vinland Saga, political intrigue, tragic heroes, and worlds carved by snow and steel
