The Empire of Corvax brought the Kingdom of Arton to its knees, exiling its king, Konrad, and sending its prince into obscurity. Ten years after the fall of Arton, the prince, Jonathan Stafford, receives a letter from his exiled brother, sending Stafford and his family to Mt. Coronac. Konrad needs to regain his throne, but it would be tough to drive out the deadly and massive ranks of the Raven-King Kyran Corvax.
Stafford's son, Edwin, trains with Konrad's adviser and general, Lubek Beringer. Two years pass, and the Konrad's camp is peaceful. That is, until the sound of marching approaches camp. The Corvax army ambushes the camp and harms many, including the king. From there, Edwin leads the villagers to a camp next to Lake Coronac with the help of Japheth and his sister, Gwyneth.
Troubles lie ahead for the Crown Prince. And with it, war. Who will rise to the top and claim the throne? Or keep it?

Tales of the Vangen: The Black Ministry's Betrayal (Book 1)
[Completed] The Royal Guard of the Empire has faithfully served Byzantia for nearly three centuries now. Hand picked from foreign lands, these guardsmen hold no political ties, carry no agendas, and bare no creeds except to those who sit upon the Onyx Throne. They are vanguards, protectors, loyalists. They are Vangen. Change has come to the Empire. An Empress sits upon the throne now, destroying any who would rebel against her with both fire and iron. To the east, her loyal Vangen work to quash the newest rebellion, until a letter arrives one day, marked with the Empresses seal. The contents within bare only dread and disturbance for the Guardsmen. The Black Ministry, the former Emperor's cabal of Sorcerers, have turned against the Empress. The Vangen's return is bittersweet. The city they once called home is now a battlefield, every street a choke-point. Every home a possible nesting ground for rebels. The Royal Guard will have to fight tooth and nail to put down the Ministry and protect the Empress, but the deeper they go, the harder the lines begin to blur. In a world where good and evil does not exist, where then does a man's loyalty lie? (Comments and Feedback are always appreciated)Complete

The Constructs: Descent
Jaxxson was born into silence-no voice, no place, no past. Raised in a golden cage by a king he called father, Jaxxson lived in the shadow of a crown he never chose. But when a single act of defiance shatters the only world he's ever known, Jaxxson flees into the mountains... and stumbles into truths buried beneath the kingdom's polished stone. Haunted by whispers of rebellion and a family legacy steeped in secrets, Jaxxson uncovers a path that leads far beyond his father's reach. From hidden sewers to mountain towers, from lost names to found courage, his journey sparks a wildfire that will upend nations. But freedom comes at a cost. When a forgotten portal hurls him into the Nebulon Dimension-a realm of floating islands and cosmic stillness-Jaxxson meets the Death Core, Noctivara, and learns that his story is not just his own. Chosen by the Core, he becomes something more than royal. Something eternal. A Construct. The Construct of Death. With kingdoms on the brink of war and ancient powers awakening, Jaxxson must face who he was, who he is, and who he must become. Because the descent isn't the end-it's the beginning.Complete

God's Game | House Of The Dragon
M-A-M-A. G-I-R-L. Mamas Girl. Alicent Hightower loved all her children. She did, and no one could deny that. But she has and always will love her youngest daughter Aemma Targaryen just that little bit more. Aemma didn't look or act like any of her Targaryen siblings or her father. She looked exactly like her mother. With her reddish brown hair and green eyes, the only notion of her Valyrian heritage being the specks of violet in her eyes. Along with the fact that her twin brother was Aemond Targaryen, a man who looked to have the truest of true Valyrian blood running through his veins. The only downside was that Alicent couldn't speak her name. Of course the one thing that Viserys took from Alicent was choosing HER daughters name. And of all names the one of his deceased wife Aemma Arryn. Follow the story of Aemma Targaryen as she plays God's Game.

Ash of the sun
ASOIF inspried In the realm of Velastra, House Elyssar has ruled for seven centuries beneath the Hollow Crown-a symbol of divine blessing that masks generations of corruption, forbidden love, and bloodshed. When an aging king breaks 700 years of tradition by naming his niece as heir instead of his nephew, the realm fractures. Lady Aelira Elyssar never expected to rule. From the direct surviving royal line, she assumed her cousin would wear the crown-as tradition demanded, as everyone expected. But in one shocking announcement, everything changes. Lord Therion II Elyssar was born for this. Trained his entire life to be king, he is the eldest nephew, the traditional choice, the obvious heir. Descended from a twin whose mysterious death 600 years ago should have ended his line's claim, Therion has every right to feel robbed when the crown goes to a woman instead. Best friends. First cousins. Bound by blood and a childhood spent ruling the palace together. In three days, they will become enemies. As the realm chooses sides and ancient grudges resurface, the two must navigate a web of political intrigue, forbidden alliances, and a family history soaked in secrets. Because 600 years ago, two brothers stood in these same halls-and only one survived. Now their descendants will finally answer the question that has haunted House Elyssar for centuries: which line is blessed, and which is broken? In this tale of ambition, betrayal, and the weight of legacy, the light that once blessed House Elyssar may be the very thing that burns it to ash. "Only when blood spills blood shall the hollow crown be whole again.
