Blinded in the arena by the Grand Duke's son, Aristella dies not as a warrior, but as something discarded.
Reborn into a life that should have been safer, she awakens to a truth she cannot ignore. Her brother is blind, the empire feels unfamiliar, and the gods she once believed distant are watching far too closely.
This time, she does not chase love or approval. She studies, endures, and remembers.
If fate insists on breaking her again, then she will learn how to break it first.

Fallen Priestess
**She was chosen by the moon. The world chose to destroy her.** Elyssa, Priestess of the Silver Moon, was sworn to a life of sacred devotion. Her eyes were veiled by holy law. Her body consecrated to the goddess she served. She was never meant to belong to the world of men. Until the night of The Sun's Dominion. When the Sun eclipsed the Moon and the heavens seemed to bow, Elyssa's divine protection vanished. Hunted in the darkness, her prayers unanswered, her sanctity was violated while the Moon stood silent. What was sacred was taken from her by force, not by choice. She survived. That was her crime. Elyssa returns not to sanctuary, but to condemnation. Reverence turns into accusation. Faith curdles into desire. Noble and commoner alike declare her impure, unworthy, unfit to serve the Moon she once embodied. Stones are thrown at her disgrace, not for what she chose, but for what was taken. As the temple closes its doors, the empire gathers to witness her fall. Then the Crown Prince steps forward. Cassian Ravenoir, heir to the Noctyrian Empire, shields her from the mob and defies the silence that condemns her. He offers protection when none remains. His name. His power. His palace. If the temple no longer wants her, he declares, his court will receive her. If she cannot stand as a priestess, she may stand beside him as a crown princess. But safety cannot undo what was lost. Some vows cannot be restored. Some devotions cannot be reclaimed. And the Moon does not forgive the world lightly. This is not a story of salvation. It is a story of faith broken, of dignity stripped away, and of a woman forced to live in a world that only loved her when she was untouchable.Complete
The Emperor's Regret
Love is a fragile thing. It can be nurtured, like a delicate flower in spring, blossoming under warmth and care. Or it can be neglected, left to wither under the weight of indifference until nothing remains but dust and regret. This is the story of a love that was once whole, then broken, then lost entirely. A love that burned brightly in the heart of a Queen-so deeply, so fiercely, that it consumed her. And a love that the Emperor never recognized until it was too late. She loved him. More than she should have. More than he deserved. She had given him her loyalty, her devotion, her very soul. And in return, he had given her nothing. Not his trust. Not his protection. Not even his mercy. Her love for him had died long before her body did. If fate ever gave her another chance, she would never love him again. But fate is cruel. Death was not the end. She would return, reborn from the ashes of her suffering. Not as the woman who once waited for his love. Not as the Queen who had begged for his favor. But as someone who would never waste another moment longing for him. This time, it would be his turn to burn.
