In the arid nation of Amoris, survival is a ruthless game. Aden, a cynical street rat from the sun-scorched slums, knows this better than anyone. He lives by one rule: look out for yourself, because no one else will. But when a royal coronation descends into chaos, he seizes a chance to escape his past by stealing a powerful, amber crested crown-only to become the most wanted man in the kingdom.
Unbeknownst to him, he is not alone. Namakaomakahiki, or Maka, is a refugee from the verdant Kingdom of Blume, a proud queen in all but name. After a brutal competition to save her homeland fails, she flees with a crown of her own, a circlet of obsidian and emerald that carries the weight of a nation's hopes. Her path of justice clashes violently with Aden's path of survival when their worlds collide, leaving them both on the run with two legendary crowns.
Forced to rely on one another, the jaded thief and the compassionate queen find themselves in a desperate race for their lives. With their destinies, and their powers, seemingly intertwined, they must confront their shared enemy and each other. Can a cynical soul and a fiery heart find a common ground to build a new world, or are they destined to tear each other apart?

Along the way, they encounter new allies and fearsome enemies; and as the story unfolds, they find that there are much bigger struggles occurring behind the scenes as a crazed lizard man threatens their world. During their months of travel, darkness begins to seep through the cracks and overtake their world. It's up to them and a rag-tag army of rebels to keep the world from crumbling.

I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And?

Duchess of the Unfinished Script
For two years, university student Aera's greatest escape was writing her hit web novel, Crimson Thorns and Royal Love. Her most celebrated creation was the antagonist: the ruthless, impossibly privileged, and flawlessly beautiful Lady Evelina Argent, sole heir to the Grand Dukedom and architect of her own spectacular downfall. But after falling asleep mid-draft, Aera wakes up inside her creation-in the silk gowns and amethyst eyes of Evelina herself. Now, as the terrifyingly powerful Duchess of the Unfinished Script, Evelina possesses the ultimate advantage: she knows the entire plot. She knows the heroine's arrival is imminent, the Crown Prince's manipulative nature, and the series of perfectly-designed "Ruin Flags" that will inevitably lead to the Argent Dukedom's collapse and her own exile in the frozen North. The catch? She hasn't written the final chapters yet, leaving her fate flexible but terrifyingly uncertain. To survive, Evelina must desperately dismantle the traps she set for her own character, re-write the story from the inside, and convince the entire kingdom-including her own merciless father-that the new, less-villainous Duchess is the true successor to the Argent name. Can the author escape the tragic destiny she meticulously crafted for her masterpiece, or is Evelina doomed to play the villain until the bitter, final page?Complete
Carolina
Nine years have passed since the war. The sun no longer breaks through the veil of clouds. Temples and brothels, the prison and the palace-all have faded into the same shade of grey, under the rule of the traitor king. The Black Forest creeps ever closer. The rift widens, spilling forth blind, ravenous monsters. She is no one. A woman without memories, cast by fate into places not her own. Sinner, healer, criminal... Again and again, she must piece her life together from broken fragments, clinging to the one thing that remains: her name. Carolina. ---------------- Welcome, dear reader. This is a dark, emotional fantasy for adult readers-quiet, slow-burning, and heavy with shadows. It speaks of memory, guilt, and the search for self when nothing remains. Not a heroic tale, but perhaps one of redemption. Perhaps even love-wounded, unexpected, and all the more precious for it. If you're drawn to complex characters, poetic prose, and the kind of story that asks more questions than it answers-you might feel at home here. Thank you for reading.
