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?

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.

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.

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.

Whispers call him "the prince of scrolls"-a young man with a passion for maesters and knowledge. Now, he must take the hand of Princess Daenerys in marriage, a union that promises castle and gold. But what reason does he have to refuse when his own nephew, Prince Daemon, seeks his death? Will he allow his nephew to claim victory? And why does one dragon fear the wrath of another?

shadow heir
Synopsis It is a fantasy story about our main character, Jaron, a seasoned warrior and devoted father, who is determined to protect his child from a dangerous and mysterious fate. As the story unfolds, the threats surrounding them grow ever more perilous, drawing them into a world of ancient rivalries, supernatural powers, and political intrigue. There's a timeskip in wich we see how our characters grow and how they meet more people along the way. As the looming threat gets closer and closer. What begins as a struggle for survival becomes a sprawling adventure filled with unpredictable allies, fearsome enemies, and shocking revelations about the past. Along the way, humor and heartfelt moments balance the tension, making the journey as fun and lively as it is dangerous. The stakes rise with every chapter, leading to epic battles, cunning strategies, and intense duels that test not only strength but also bonds of trust and loyalty. With each step forward, the journey expands into uncharted lands, revealing new kingdoms, powerful clans, and forgotten legends. This is a long, ongoing saga-one that I'd love to see brought to life as a manga or anime-and I'll keep updating the series as the characters grow, the challenges mount, and the danger closes in. I would love for an artist to be co writer when we make a manga if adjustments are needed. Expect an unforgettable adventure full of battles, action, and heart. ---
