Rising from Ashes (Manuscript - Rough Draft - Public) --- Ashes to Empire 1 by FIS_WD-NON

Set in early 20th-century America, Rising From Ashes is a tale of power, betrayal, and redemption, where espionage and hidden agendas shape history. At its heart is the Pinkerton Department of Investigative Affairs (PDIA)-a shadowy organization posing as a federal agency while secretly working to overthrow the U.S. government. Behind its façade, the PDIA serves as the covert military arm of the Court of Owls, a powerful institution determined to maintain global stability-by any means necessary. Eliza Victoria Daniels never imagined she'd be drawn into a war of spies and political intrigue. Once broken by the loss of her children and a brutal divorce from ruthless Senator David J. Richards Sr., she is thrust into the PDIA's world by Duke Arin J. Smiths of France. Charismatic yet haunted, Arin sees potential in Eliza, choosing her as his successor and training her in espionage. As their bond deepens, an undeniable yet fraught romance emerges, filled with scars and unspoken fears. But within the PDIA, secrets fester. Its disgraced founder, Prince Jamie L. Read of France, still controls its fate from the shadows. His influence is undeniable, as is his forbidden love with Dr. Kipp A. Price, the agency's Chief Medical Officer and Vice-Chancellor of the Court of Owls. Their hidden relationship adds intrigue as whispers of dissent threaten the empire they built. Eliza's rise draws the attention of Keith S. Gunvald, the PDIA's third-in-command and a master manipulator. Once Jamie's trusted ally, Keith secretly works as a double agent for Richards, feeding him information and plotting the Court's downfall. As rumors of a traitor spread, Eliza must navigate a deadly game of deception before the PDIA crumbles. As betrayal festers and tensions rise, Jamie's plan to dismantle American dominance nears its final stage. Eliza must decide: embrace the shadows or risk everything to uncover the truth. Only those who rise from the ashes will shape the future.

I am having thoughts of kissing her. Hell, I see her in my dreams so often now that I am not sure what she means to me now. Millie caresses my cheeks and a shiver runs down my spine. "I can't pretend anymore, Grace. It's getting really hard" she whispers in my ear and I squirm. When she meets my eyes, I say something that surprises her. "Then don't."

The Fallen Throne by demigod-princess

Alaina wishes to be more than a mere icon for her kingdom, believing a princess should be much more than a fragile lady in a dress.

But when one of the neighbouring kingdoms demands that it's time for a change in the land of Asteria, her entire kingdom is shaken. To worsen the situation, the king is somehow caving in to the demands irrationally. Stubbornly refusing to resign herself to the kingdom's seemingly inevitable fate, she is forced to leave her home in search of the root of the problems. Along with people of diverse backgrounds she comes to trust and a hotheaded boy with pyrokinesis named Kai, Alaina joins an uprising rebellion against the forming empire. cover design by the lovely and talented Tris_fire (Prev.

I placed my hand on the back of my neck, defeatedly shook my head and sighed. "Alright." Everything immediately became deathly silent and still, but I could practically feel his eagerness all around as if it were tangible. "It's sort of when you, well, when you touch your lips to someone else's in a show of affection." I was thankful it was so dark since I was no doubt blushing terribly. Then I remembered that he could see perfectly in this pitch black pit of godawful nothingness... Dammit. The soft inquisitive clicks of his crown were suddenly right in front of me. "Oh, I actually do know what that is." His hand very gently lifted my chin up.
