The Matriarch Chronicles takes place in Galaenia, a land of matriarchy where women rule over men as the dominant gender. Raegna believes above all else, she is privileged and deserves the utmost respect from men who are beneath her. When her village is invaded by male freedom fighters, Raegna and her family narrowly escape the attack and retreat to warn neighboring villages of the raiders. Upon her journey, Raegna experiences great trials against her beliefs through discrimination against her husband and ultimately unearths Galaenia's corrupt matriarchy.
The novel traverses back and forth between Raegna's story and others of her village, brothers Naleem and Hadwin. Captured by the freedom fighters and taken to their Haven, the brothers must abide by new customs in order to survive.

Just Us And The Night
Short Description: A fluffy, low angst, Supercorp medieval AU with plenty of Supercorp gay panic, heroism, and love. Kara and Lena are both queens of neighboring realms. They find love in each other's arms as they fight an unknown villain who seeks to destroy the peace of the empire. Summary: In the West, just beyond the Strait of Bryneich, there stand nine independent island realms, all matriarchal and formidable in their own right. These islands are collectively known as the Empire of Pavia. While the realms of the Empire come together for purposes of defense against their aggressive neighbors to the East, and matters of general trade, each of the realms are ruled independently and responsible for their own affairs. The strongest of these Pavian Realms are Argos, ruled by the Sapphire Queen, Queen Kara; Rojas, ruled by the Ruby Queen, Queen Andrea; and the Kieran Isles, ruled by the Emerald Queen, Queen Lena. When a mysterious evildoer begins a series of attacks on Argos and the Kieran Isles, Kara, Lena and their clans must unite to determine who the culprit is and destroy them before they themselves are destroyed. While they pull together to fight the villainy that plagues their realms, the two Queens feel an instant and passionate connection, but an oath made prevents them from being together. They are tossed into a sea of tumult as their desires grow and it becomes more impossible to deny their love. Our story begins as one queen takes her last breath and another rises in her place...

The story is set in ummm.. Wait, this time it's the modern world. A normal girl forced to marry a mafia man with dark past. Very basic, right? Just one detail. The girl is an avid dark romance reader and calls him Sunshine from their first meeting i.e. their wedding day. Oh! And the man? He is the usual grumpy cold blooded male lead who likes his guns, sunglasses and cigarettes but he loves his new addiction more. So let the tale begin.. ☆Warning :This story is completely fictional and based upon my imagination. It contains mature themes (like sex, blood, violence etc). I do not promote anything, it's all fictitious and just for the sake of entertainment. Readers discretion is advised.Complete
