It is 4761BC, and 17 year old Eve is an ordinary peasant, just trying to make her way in life by a few coin, which she gains out of stealing from rich townspeople.
Suddenly, when she is caught and taken in with interest by King Titon of the Land of Eve for having the prophecy of the Chosen One, and for her unusually keen fighting skills, she must become the Lady in the Iron Mask, a soldier of Titon. Trained by the King's son and general, Kieran, Eve must learn to fight like a true killer, and practice courtly etiquette.
However, maybe the fight is bigger than she could have ever imagined...and maybe, it just might destroy everything she loves.

The Serpent on the Throne
During the great floods and famine, my father, desperate for the coin needed to travel to the capital for the Royal Examinations, sold my mother and me to a fleshmonger. We were chattel, worth less than livestock. My mother, her belly just beginning to swell with a new life, fell to her knees in the mud. Her hands instinctively shielded her stomach as she begged her husband, "Please, I beg you. I will go willingly to the slaver's block, but Argenta... she is only twelve. She is still a child. I implore you, let her go." Author's Note: I post a new chapter almost every single day!
Unbound
She was the last Dragonborn... unbound and free, defying the fate written in blood and prophecy. From the moment she took her first breath, the collar was meant to be hers. But she ran. She hid. And she survived. In the kingdom of Elyria, magic breathes through every tree, river, and sky. Ruled by the crown city of Virellia, peace has long been preserved through an ancient pact: five elemental Dragonborn... Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Space, bound to the bloodlines of the royal sons. Dragons born in human form, their power is legendary. Their collars, eternal. Together, bonded to masters, they anchor the balance between divine power and mortal rule. Four are collared. Claimed. Owned. But the fifth... the one born of space and stardust, escaped. Lyra Vale has spent her life running from the collar that would tether her magic, her will, and her very soul to a prince she does not trust. Her freedom is a threat to the system itself. Yet as the long-forgotten shadow kingdom of Noctyra rises from beyond the veil, darkness gathers fast-and only the five united Dragonborn can stop it. In a realm where dragons are bound, king rule through chains, and collars make immortals of men... what happens when the last Dragonborn refuses to kneel?Complete

The Flower Longed Death
Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story is the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!
