She is prophecy wrapped in silk. A queen crowned in blood. And she does not forgive.

When a holy rebellion rises against Queen Timoria Grace, they expect mercy. They get memory.

Timoria is invincible - not by spell or sword, but by legend. Her reign is built on silence, spectacle, and the kind of grace that leaves kingdoms trembling. Beside her stands Caelen Vire, her husband and strategist, a warrior whose rare violence is as precise as it is devastating.

But power breeds prophecy. And someone has written her downfall in blood.

As enemies whisper in temples and nobles flinch in court, Timoria must decide what kind of legacy she'll leave behind: one of mercy... or one of ash.

A cinematic epic of Black royalty, divine brutality, and a world where grace is the sharpest weapon of all.

Crimson Crown by aliffsen

On the day of her execution, Queen Seraphina Vale wore black-not in mourning, but in defiance. Once hailed as the Blade of Thorne, Seraphina was a warrior queen beloved by the people, feared by her enemies, and betrayed by her own court. Framed for treason and dark magic by power-hungry nobles and a corrupt High Priest, she was sentenced to die beneath the blade. But fate had other plans. When a hellish invasion rains down on the capital during her beheading, Seraphina rises from the ashes of her downfall-bloody, unchained, and burning with vengeance. With only a stolen sword and unmatched skill, she slays the very demons sent to damn her and exposes the true traitors behind the throne. Now, Seraphina reclaims her crown-not as a martyr, but as a storm. Ruling with fire and steel, she must walk the line between savior and tyrant as old enemies rise, new powers stir in the shadows, and whispers of forbidden magic call to her from beyond. The crown is hers. But blood is its price.

The Secret From Within by Veronicasoderstrom

Xavier Blackwood rules the criminal underworld with an iron fist and a heart encased in ice. Feared by rivals, adored by none, and trusted by fewer, he is a man of power, precision, and brutality. The name Blackwood echoes through the underground like a whispered curse-lethal, cold, and untouchable. No one crosses him and lives to tell the tale. Isabella Santino is a ghost in the world of shadows-an assassin whose elegance and silence are as deadly as her blade. With no past, no ties, and no mercy, she's the weapon the highest bidders beg to command but never truly own. Her loyalty belongs to no one, and her secrets are buried deeper than any grave she's ever filled. When Xavier and Isabella's paths collide in the smoke-filled corridors of betrayal, vengeance, and bloodlust, sparks don't just fly-they ignite a war. What begins as a collision of titans becomes a dangerous dance of dominance, secrets, and obsession. But underneath their hardened exteriors, something stirs. Something forbidden. Something human. In a world where love is weakness and trust is a death sentence, "The Secret From Within" dares to ask: what happens when two monsters fall for the very thing they were taught to destroy? Only one truth remains: every secret has its price. And some... are paid in blood.

Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Rise of the Flamebearer by CGBlaire

I was bred to obey. I obeyed when they handed me to a man I barely knew. I obeyed when my cousin smiled at me with knowing eyes while she shared my husband's bed. I obeyed when I felt like an intruder in my own marriage and told myself it would get better. I was carrying his child when he signed my death warrant. My cousin stood at his side during my execution. She had never left him. I was just the name. The woman who warmed the bed while she kept everything she actually wanted. The court watched in silence as the flames took me. I died with my child still inside me and the taste of betrayal in my final breath. Then I woke up months before the pyre. Same husband. Same cousin. Same court full of traitors who have not yet shown their faces. But I am not the same woman who believed love could be earned through obedience. I remember everything they will do to me. And now I have time to make them pay. There is a man named Caelan Vorenthal. He is my husband's greatest rival and the most dangerous person at court. When the charges were read, he knew they were lies. He took a step forward when everyone else stayed frozen. One man against a court of traitors. He hesitated because he could not win. But he wanted to try. That meant more than I realized. Caelan is not safe. He is not simple. And whatever is growing between us could destroy everything I am building or become the one thing they never saw coming. I will take back my name. I will reclaim the inheritance they stole from my bloodline. I will stand before the Empress and demand the divorce that will end my husband's claim to everything he took from me. And when the fire answers to my blood and the destiny they tried to bury rises with me, they will learn what it costs to underestimate a woman they trained to kneel. I was bred to obey. Now I choose who burns.

When the three Kingdoms hold a meeting with the courts in their Regions, claiming a prophecy was delivered to each, whispers start to stir. Wrathborn bloodlines? Coming to the Realm? A war brewing?

And it may be the key to unraveling the truth from the prophecy. Because across the fractured Courts, a war brews not only for this Realm... but for the next if they're not careful. Not all written is truth. --- Some bloodlines were cursed. Others were erased. And some were made to burn the world down.
