Ruthless Heir Sasha Leone Read

Marked by the Ruthless Princess

In her previous life, Lina Riley harbored an unrequited love for the Fifth Princess, Victoria Ashwood. Lina sacrificed everything for her—securing her place on the throne, protecting her borders, and losing her arm and sight in the process. Yet, her loyalty was repaid with a goblet of poisoned wine and the execution of her entire family. Victoria despised her, accusing Lina of cruelty and of orchestrating her elder sister’s death, deeming her unworthy of love. When the poison took effect, Lina closed her eyes in despair, only to awaken back in the moment they first met. On that fateful day, Lina had stumbled upon Victoria being beaten by palace maids, an encounter that set everything in motion. This time, Lina turned away, choosing a different path, but a faint fragrance of plum blossoms lured her in. One reckless night led to a moment of despair when she awoke to find the coldly beautiful face of her bedmate—Lucille Everard, the Princess Regent. Lucille, while outwardly uninterested in court affairs, was notorious for her swift and decisive actions that had seen emperors replaced with alarming frequency. Compared to Lucille’s power, Lina’s past dealings with Victoria seemed like mere child's play. As Lucille stirred awake, Lina's nerves were frayed. “Given the circumstances, Your Highness, what do you think of me now?” she asked, resigned to her fate. To her surprise, Lucille chuckled softly. “I think you’re wonderful.” Stunned, Lina could only manage a confused “Huh?” From that moment, everything veered off course. Lucille's palace soon bloomed with roses—Lina’s favorite. Amidst the swaying blossoms, the resolute Princess Regent would gently take Lina’s hand, her once-frigid gaze warm and tender. “My dear Lina, you are the finest woman in the world.” In her new life, Lina often dreamed. She dreamt of someone leaving a bouquet of roses at her grave, their robes trailing the light fragrance of plum blossoms. They sipped wine with a wry smile, murmuring, “Silly girl, I avenged you.” Victoria Ashwood was reborn too. She hadn’t expected that killing Lina would provoke her aunt’s ruthless revenge. Determined to avoid a similar fate, she resolved to feign affection for Lina, even if it took a lifetime. At a palace banquet, Victoria was taken aback by Lina’s beauty. Draped in fine silks, Lina was a dazzling sight, so different from the weathered woman Victoria remembered. Drawn to her, Victoria was about to approach when she noticed Lucille at Lina’s side, gently wiping her lips with a soft smile. “Take it slow,” Lucille murmured. Lina paused, then chuckled as she adjusted a strand of Lucille’s hair. Victoria’s heart twisted in fury. When her desperate attempts to win Lina back failed, she demanded, “Why won’t you love me?” Lina sneered. “Show some respect, Fifth Princess. You should address me as Aunt. Besides, your hypocrisy and cold-heartedness make you unworthy of love.” Years ago, a young Lucille Everard encountered a lost girl in the palace gardens. The girl declared that Lucille was beautiful and promised to marry her one day. Thirteen years later, a fateful misunderstanding during a bout of poisoning entwined their paths. What began as teasing quickly turned Lucille from a hunter into prey, helplessly ensnared by the woman she never forgot. Tags: 1.

The Arcane Heir

The Arcane Heir – Synopsis For centuries, the Arcane Heir has been nothing more than a legend—a name whispered in secret, tied to an ancient power feared by kings and coveted by those who seek control. But when seventeen-year-old Alaric Vale unknowingly awakens his dormant magic, the legend becomes a reality. Raised as an orphan in the slums of Eldoria, Alaric never believed he was destined for anything greater than survival. But after a brutal attack by rogue sorcerers, he is rescued by the enigmatic Lady Sylvaine, who reveals the shocking truth: he is the last descendant of a forgotten bloodline, heir to a magic unlike any other. Forced into the elite Valderis Academy, where noble-born mages train in the arcane arts, Alaric quickly realizes he is an outsider among the privileged—and a target for those who fear his power. As he struggles to master the magic surging within him, he discovers a chilling prophecy: the Arcane Heir will either save the world… or bring about its end. But Alaric is not the only one seeking answers. The mysterious Darian Voss watches him too closely, the cult known as the Children of Ruin believes he is the key to unsealing an ancient darkness, and shadowy figures from his past hint at secrets buried even deeper than he could have imagined. With enemies closing in and time running out, Alaric must unravel the mystery of his own existence before he loses control—because the greatest threat to the world might not be the prophecy… It might be him. The Arcane Heir is a spellbinding fantasy novel filled with magic, intrigue, and the eternal struggle between fate and free will.
