Content Warning: This story contains scenes of blood, strong language, and mature themes.
Ruby didn't come to sit pretty on a throne-she came to set it on fire. Forced into a political marriage with the cold, controlling Prince Cyril, she's expected to smile, curtsy, and follow orders. But Ruby has other plans. With her reputation already in ruins and her freedom hanging by a thread, she'll weaponize the one thing the crown never saw coming-women.
Trapped behind palace walls and under constant watch, Ruby builds her rebellion in secret. But Cyril is always one step ahead... and maybe a little too good at getting under her skin.
Enemies turned almost-lovers, royalty turned rivals-this is war dressed in silk and laced with stolen glances.
Let the games begin.

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.Complete

And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown A/N: Based on otome romance novels, but from the second male lead's POV, who the heroine never chose.

Behind that big, bright smile, is a broken person with a hidden trauma but she hides all of it with her extroverted and bubbly personality but there are moments where her past catches up with her. Even though her fights with her past are hard, she's always been able to make new friends in a minute. She's the life of the party, effortlessly charming others, and she's not afraid to put someone in their place with a quick sarcastic comment. Charming, cocky, and good enough to hide it, 𝐀𝐓𝐋𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐈 is a guy who is always noticed, the golden boy of the school. Girls wanted to be with him and boys wanted to be him. Atlas has that classic "cocky but likable" vibe. He knows he's good-looking, and he's not afraid to flaunt it. Whether it's his perfect hair, sharp jawline, or the way he fills out his clothes just right, he exudes a level of confidence which is part of his appeal. He has never met a woman he could win over with his charm except for Ruby fucking Jones. 𝐀𝐓𝐋𝐀𝐒 & 𝐑𝐔𝐁𝐘 have known each other for as long as they can remember, but they've never gotten along.

While their friends and families have long expected them to grow out of it, their rivalry has only intensified over the years. From day one, she's had a quick, snarky remark ready for every cocky comment he made. Atlas has always found her refusal both frustrating and, in a way, challenging. He's used to people admiring him, but Ruby never gives him the satisfaction. But what happens when he moves in front of her? Will anything happen that changes how they feel about each other or are they going to be enemies for the rest of their life?
Bound by the Sea
The sea gave her freedom. The sea took it away. Lyriana of the Coral Court has always belonged to the ocean-fierce, wild, and untamable. But when her mother, the Sea Queen, orders her to marry a prince she doesn't love, Lyriana flees her kingdom in search of her own destiny. She dreams of freedom beyond duty and thrones, but freedom comes with a price. Caught in a storm above the reef, Lyriana is trapped in a fisherman's net and dragged aboard the Sea Serpent, a pirate ship commanded by Captain Rowan Blackthorn-a man known across kingdoms for chasing legends, not obeying laws. Fierce, clever, and haunted by secrets of his own, Rowan sees in Lyriana not a monster to fear but a mystery to claim. Imprisoned far from the water that gives her life, Lyriana must fight to survive among men who see her as treasure, a weapon, or a curse. But as she learns more about Rowan, she discovers he's searching for something deeper than gold-something the sea itself may have hidden. As their worlds collide, old myths rise again. Curses stir beneath the waves. A power older than both sea and sky begins to awaken. Torn between hatred and a strange pull toward her captor, Lyriana faces an impossible choice: Escape back to the sea and abandon everything she's begun to feel... or risk her heart-and her freedom-to uncover the truth about the tides that bind them. Because some bonds aren't made by chains. They're made by the sea.
