Heritage Stories

Leon Ashcroft had it easy, growing up in a warm, loving home where everything came without struggle. But comfort breeds complacency, and Leon's lack of drive catches up with him.

You can travel the world together and still feel the distance. A Canadian man returns to Greece with his Greek wife, hoping that time away-ancient ruins, mountain roads, olive groves warmed by sun-might soften what years of responsibility have tightened. They are not broken. But they are no longer certain they are moving in the same direction. As they travel, old myths surface alongside newer doubts. Symbols recur-the owl, the olive, the laurel-quiet reminders that love, like history, survives through attention and care, not grand gestures. What begins as a shared journey becomes an intimate reckoning with marriage, desire, aging, and the fear of losing the person who knows you best. This is not a story about falling in love. It is about choosing each other-again. For readers who love slow-burn relationships, emotionally intelligent storytelling, second-chance love, and romances where connection deepens through honesty rather than spectacle.

He was born not merely to reign - But to dream, to conquer, and to burn like fire across the seas. Rajendra Chozhan, son of a lion, heir to a sunlit throne, Walked the line between destiny and desire, between steel and soul. In halls of stone and battlefields drenched in dawn, He carved an empire with courage, And ruled not just with might - But with the weight of love, loss, and longing. This is the song of a king whose voice echoed across oceans, Whose heart bore both crown and chain. A tale of war drums and whispered prayers, Of kingdoms claimed and hearts quietly broken. Travel through time to witness a man - Who lived as legend, And left behind more than empire - He left behind eternity.

Under the mentorship of Aedric, an Elden race who bends mana to his will without the need for wands or Grimoires, Rhye hones his skills in combat. But as the tides of war shift and the shadows of an ancient prophecy loom, he finds himself entangled in a fate far greater than he ever imagined.

Hunted by powerful forces, burdened by a legacy he never asked for, and torn between the path of a warrior and the mysteries of his true origins-Rhye must decide. Will he forge his own destiny, or will he succumb to the forces that seek to control him? A story of war, loyalty, and the unyielding strength of the powerless against the arcane might of the world-Kleronomy is a tale of a boy who was never meant to survive, yet refuses to be erased.
