They Made Us Ghosts

The crown erased us before it ever killed us. Rachel Camila was born a princess—then quietly replaced. Churchill was raised as her future king—then ordered to disappear with her. For the sake of a “stable throne,” false heirs were crowned, history rewritten, and the real royal bloodline buried alive beneath the palace they once called home. Officially, Rachel and Churchill never existed. Their names were struck from records. Their parents were “sent away.” The kingdom moved on. But they survived. Cast into the lower districts, hunted, starving, and powerless, Rachel and Churchill were taken in by an old assassin who taught them a cruel truth: justice is never given—it is taken with blood. Weak to strong, blade by blade, they were rebuilt not as rulers, but as weapons. They do not return for the throne. They return for the truth. As the kingdom rots under a regime that rules like a mafia in crowns—silencing witnesses, disappearing citizens, and turning hunger into control—rumors begin to spread of two ghosts killing only those who deserve it. The deeper Rachel and Churchill dig, the clearer the betrayal becomes: their parents are still alive, imprisoned beneath the palace, hidden because someone knows the truth—and is terrified of it. Love becomes their greatest weakness and their only reason to keep breathing. Trained to kill together, bleed together, and survive nights that should have broken them, they choose each other even when it costs them allies, safety, and mercy. The crown chose silence. They chose vengeance. And by the time the kingdom realizes the ghosts are real, it is already too late to run. The kingdom erased its true prince and princess—so they returned as assassins, not to rule, but to burn the lie down together.

HEART OF THE DRAGON KING

Elara Ashford, 23, has been living a lie her entire life. She was brought up as Princess of Veridia, wearing silk and jewels, and she believes she has royal blood in her veins. However, when a marriage alliance insists that she marry the dreaded Dragon King of the North in order to stop war, her adopted family reveals the terrible truth: she was born with the real princess. She is merely the daughter of a commoner, a stand-in for the legitimate heir who was concealed for her "protection." Elara is now being sent to her death with a single, unachievable task: either make the monster fall in love with her or her real family, the commoners who abandoned her, will be put to death for treason. The Northern Kingdom is a real-life nightmare. Towers of obsidian are circled by dragons. In courtyards, Fae warriors hone their blades. In dimly lit hallways, witches murmur. And in charge of it all is Kael Draven, the ancient and deadly Dragon King, whose touch burns like dragonfire, whose amber eyes see through every lie, and whose court keeps a watchful eye on the frail human bride like wolves circling wounded prey. Elara anticipated a monster. She discovers a king who is plagued by centuries-old curses, haunted by betrayal, and frantically searching for his fated mate, whom he believes will break the curse that is slowly killing his people. He believes that *she* is a bond. She's not his mate, though. Wearing a stolen crown, she is a fraud. Elara learns that people have been lying about the North for generations as she makes her way through assassination attempts, lethal court politics, and a developing fascination with the dragon who could burn her with a single breath. Humans have betrayed the "monsters." And centuries ago, a human princess betrayed Kael himself, bringing a curse upon his entire kingdom. Elara's world falls apart when the real Princess Seraphine is found—beautiful, gifted with magic, and Kael's *actual* fated mate. Kael and Seraphine's mate bond is unquestionably ancient and ignites instantly. Elara ought to move aside. Let fate do its thing. However, Seraphine didn't have to spend months gaining the dragon warriors' trust. didn't put her life in danger to lift old curses. didn't fall in love with a monarch who taught her that monsters are created, not born. Elara is faced with an impossible decision after learning that Seraphine is a part of a plot to overthrow the Northern Kingdom from within and that the "true princess" is the real danger to the precarious peace: – Lose Kael to his true love and expose Seraphine. – Keep quiet and watch the kingdom she has come to love burn. – Fight for a love that wasn't supposed to be hers. Because bloodlines aren't always important to the heart. Sometimes love is forged in dragonfire rather than in the stars. Furthermore, the girl who wore a stolen crown, Elara Ashford, is set to demonstrate that fate isn't the most potent form of magic. It's a decision.

Rise of the Eternal Empress

King Theron Ravencrest, one of the most powerful wizards in the continent, rules through fear, ambition, and dark magic. But his fury is born from betrayal. Believing he was promised Princess Lysira Valestra of Nightfire Glen, Theron instead finds himself married to a seemingly powerless maid—Elysia. Unaware that Elysia is in fact one of the most formidable mages of Nightfire Glen, she hides her strength and suppresses her magic for twelve long years. Even her son, Kalen Ravencrest, is forbidden from revealing his power. To Theron, the truth appears simple: he has been deceived, trapped with a weak wife and an even weaker heir. His frustration turns to madness when a prophecy surfaces—the daughter of Princess Lysira will be the cause of his downfall. Consumed by paranoia, Theron launches a brutal assault on the Valestra family, slaughtering Princess Lysira, her king, their nine-year-old son, and even her unborn child. To erase every threat, he murders his own wife, Elysia, and exiles their only son, casting Kalen out of the Drakoria Clan as if he were nothing. But fate does not end where Theron believes it does. As a new semester begins at Grimswald College of Witchcraft & Wizardry, hidden truths begin to surface. Kalen steps into a world of magic he was never allowed to claim, while whispers of the prophecy resurface—hinting that the daughter of Princess Lysira may not be as lost as the world believes. With destiny stirring, dark secrets buried, and young mages awakening, the battle between power and fate begins anew. And this time, even a king cannot escape what is written.

Knight Princess and The Beasty

mmm... mm... I didn't mean like that. You know I like Venice, and I just want to see both my favorite place with my favorite man. huh...? you didn't get it. There is nothing for you to lose, you've your man, but don't forget it was me who helped you.  Who knows that I'll fall in love with a man who is a singer? Gal muttered mid-way, " Now I know how you felt at that time, when I was talking about Knit with you. "Hmph..." Well, I have a doubt... what will you do, if Daniel turns into a beast? Will you still be willing to love him? huhhh... I was just joking, don't mind. "Do I really have an answer for that?" Destini muttered to herself.  I think I got the answer to that question. I can say that I don't know what I'll be like if he really turns into something like a monster or a beast. But, I think I really have enough love to accept him, whoever he is." "But, how do I have that much love for him even without knowing myself...?" "I don't know, how it grows... Maybe because of his appearance... if it is, they call it infatuation. Or because of his character... if it is, I hadn't seen his true self at all. or because of his popularity... if it is, man... There were so many, why should I choose him who is in another country? "Man, I don't even remember how I fell for him? "I just fell in love with him because I chose him to be with me in this lifetime. That's all "I never felt his gentleness, but I had dreamed of it countless times that he would be the gentlest man in this world towards me." "And his voice... it was just magical. normally it gives me hope to walk forward towards him. At night, it was like a lullaby. like I was cuddled in between his hands and rested on his chest, and then his heartbeat was just patting me into my sleep. "It was warm and sweet like... how should I say? yeah! like a sweet home. I had never felt that feeling. "Then, tell me what you think? Do you think that I have enough love to accept him, whoever he is...?" Discord: https://discord.gg/vHGdFdpH93

The Traveler was a Princess

Ever since Aiden’s death, nights have become unbearable, quiet, suffocating, and filled with memories that refuse to fade. It is on one such day, when despair weighs heavier than reason, that Claire crosses paths with a ragged beggar in a forgotten alley. After saving him from harm, he presses a simple, weathered watch into her palm and whispers a warning disguised as a promise: "The watch can turn back time." Claire dismisses it as madness. And yet when night falls and loneliness tightens its grip, she finds herself clutching the watch in the dark, tears soaking her sleeves, and a heart aching for the man she lost. With nothing left to believe in, she closes her eyes and wishes just once to see Aiden again. Time answers... But not as she expects. Instead of returning to the day Aiden dies, Claire awakens in another timeline entirely reborn as Princess Clara Ashford of Vandenberg, a royal bound by duty, secrets, and a fate already in motion. In this world, Aiden lives as a count under a different name Caelum Ren Sinclair, a young general celebrated for his unparalleled swordsmanship and unwavering loyalty to the crown. As Claire realizes that saving Aiden means more than stopping a single death, she must uncover the truth behind Clara’s identity, the fragmented memories locked, and the hidden connections binding the people around her; alliances, betrayals, and secrets long buried by time. To save Aiden, Claire must understand who Clara truly was… and decide whether changing the past will cost her the future... Because in this world, love is both her greatest strength... and her greatest risk.

To Make Him Fall...or not

“I gave you my soul in my last life. In this one, I’ll settle for your crown.” ~ In my first life, I was the devoted Queen. I waited two months for my husband, King Lauren, to return from the front lines—only for him to walk through the palace gates with a beautiful young maiden by his side and a decree in his hand: ‘She would be the new Queen’. And because of that evil beauty he brought to our kingdom, I died a discarded "nobody," executed for a crime I didn't commit. But death didn't take me. It sent me back. I woke up on the morning of his return. The crowds are cheering, the flowers are blooming, and my husband is about to humiliate me in front of the entire kingdom. But he doesn't know I've changed. He doesn't know I've returned with a special skill that makes me the most dangerous woman in the room. Before he can introduce his "New Queen," I hand him the one thing no one in this kingdom has ever dared to ask for: Divorce papers. In our land, a Queen asking for divorce is an abomination punishable by stoning. But Lauren thinks I’m bluffing. He looks me in the eye, tears my petition to shreds, and growls, “You are my wife. I will never stamp those papers.” He thinks he is keeping me trapped. He doesn't realize he has trapped himself in a palace with a woman who knows every one of his secrets—and is prepared to burn his kingdom to the ground just to see him sign his name. My goal is simple; I will make him fall... not in love, but to his knees. Since he spent my first life making me cry. I’ll spend my second making him bleed.
