In a kingdom ruled by men, Princess Roopmati was never meant to sit in council halls, speak of war, or understand power better than princes twice her age. But Roopmati was never born to remain silent. Raised beside a king who saw her mind before her gender, she grows into a woman feared as much as admired-sharp-tongued, politically dangerous, and unwilling to bow before a world determined to reduce her to beauty and marriage. Yet power comes with loneliness. Every decision is questioned. Every ambition is watched. Every mistake threatens to destroy the place she fought to earn. And then comes Veer. A soldier who refuses to flatter her. A bodyguard who challenges her instead of obeying blindly. A man who sees through the control she wears like armor. Their battles begin with arguments-cold, intelligent, relentless. But beneath the rivalry grows something far more dangerous: attention, obsession, and a connection neither of them can control. Because in a palace built on politics, loyalty is never simple... and love may become the most dangerous weakness of all. A story of ambition, power, jealousy, and slow-burning desire, *Roopmati* is a dark royal romance where hearts are guarded as fiercely as kingdoms.

"The Riley twins were born in the spring of 1797 during a ferocious storm that battered the Salisbury Plain for three days together. Isabel entered the world with a flash of lightning, her shrieking drowned out by a grand clap of thunder. Thirteen minutes later the storm abated, clouds parted, and Miranda was handed to her father, blinking in rays of sun that poured through the window." Isabel loves the comfort of home and the company of her family and few close friends. She doesn't care for the drama of the season or dream of gothic adventures as her sister does. She is wild and carefree in her own right, mischievous if need be, and the fun she has with her sister and closest friend is enough to satisfy her fancies. If only life took pleasure in forcing adventure on those who wished for it, instead of those who did not. Miranda is a playful romantic, she looks forward to her first season with a desperation which rivals that of a starving man on his way to a feast. She can't wait to dress in beautiful gowns and dance the nights away with the height of the Ton. More than anything, she dreams of finding her prince charming and falling in love; but love is a game, and some play it far too well. What readers are saying: "What a wonderful read!!

This book is now available on Amazon and unfortunately they won't allow me to put it up elsewhere for free, not even the unedited draft. Sorry! The Vikings! Aelswyn had heard about them, all the tales of their barbaric behaviour, the rapes and pillages, the massacres, the burnt villages. But she never thought they would dare to attack her father's stronghold. And that they would succeed...

She had been found beneath a dying camphor tree, wrapped in ruined silk and holding a piece of jade no one could name. They had called her Bai. They should have called her a storm. The Vermilion Palace had glittered beneath crimson lanterns, where beauty had concealed danger and silence had carried more weight than words. Two sisters had entered its world beneath very different expectations-one radiant and adored, the other quiet, unreadable, and impossible to overlook. Bai had never belonged to the palace, yet something about her had unsettled the world around her. Beneath the gold lacquer and ceremonial silk, she had discovered that power was rarely given freely, loyalty was easily broken, and love could become indistinguishable from obsession. She had learned that betrayal did not always arrive with a blade. Sometimes it came through a whispered accusation, a closed door, averted eyes, or the slow realization that the people you trusted had already chosen against you. Beyond the palace walls, isolation had become its own kind of kingdom. There, beneath ash-colored skies and distant mountains, survival had demanded strength she had never known she possessed. Years had passed, but time had not erased what had been lost. It had only buried it deeper. This had been a story of quiet strength, wounded pride, forbidden longing, and the kind of love that survived long after trust had died. A story of a woman who had been cast aside and refused to disappear. A story of betrayal, motherhood, resilience, and reckoning. Because some hearts had not been broken by cruelty. They had been forged by it. ©️ _RelleLebby_ // R. L.
