A woman from Hull was never meant to wear a crown. And yet, today, they would place one on her head. Verona Falkenrath has spent her life among the wild forests and untamed lands of Hull, a province scorned by the noble courts of Praylor. To them, she and her people are nothing more than barbarians. Useful for their resources but unworthy of standing among kings. When she is forced into an arranged marriage with Prince Lucian Velthorne, Verona knows what is expected of her: be silent, be obedient, and be grateful. But Verona has never known how to kneel. Lucian never wanted a wife, especially not one from Hull. Cold, calculating, and bred for power, he sees their union as nothing more than a political necessity. She is a means to an end, a bridge to keep Hull under Praylor’s control. But from the moment Verona enters his court, she defies him at every turn. Fierce, untamed, and impossible to ignore. Yet behind the whispers of their unlikely marriage, something far more dangerous is brewing. A neighboring country has begun sowing rebellion in Hull’s shadows, promising freedom from Praylor’s rule. When Verona uncovers the plot, she faces an impossible choice: stay loyal to her homeland, or betray those who would see it burn. But Lucian has his own doubts. When the rebellion reaches its peak, can he truly trust the woman he once swore was his enemy? Bound by duty, divided by war, and drawn together by something neither of them expected, Verona and Lucian must decide. Is their marriage just another political game, or the beginning of a love that could reshape kingdoms?

Her plan is flawless. Her poison is undetectable. Her strike is lethal. Yet, when the toxin fails to take effect, Ye Xian is forced to confront a chilling truth—Shen Liwei is immune to all poisons but one: the very first poison she ever created. To finish her mission, she must infiltrate his sect, uncover his secret, and strike when he least expects it. But as she gets closer, she discovers that Shen Liwei is not just a target—he is a man entangled in the same deadly web as she is. Behind his righteous reputation lie imperial experiments, hidden betrayals, and a conspiracy that reaches far beyond any one sect.

Trapped between two worlds, each ruled by its own immutable laws of power, Sollivan clings to survival in a fractured existence. Broken and confined to a wheelchair, he is stripped of all but his indomitable will. In one world, power flows from the mastery of energy—cultivated, refined, and wielded to defy nature itself.

I died in an explosion—a betrayal engineered by the man I trusted most. But instead of the end, I woke up in a new body. A noblewoman’s body. Evelina, disgraced and hated, accused of poisoning the Crown Prince of a kingdom where werewolves rule the land. And worse? The man whose life I supposedly tried to end is now my fated mate. Damian, the Crown Prince, is as cold as the moonlight that binds us, his piercing silver eyes filled with distrust every time they land on me. He doesn’t believe my innocence, and frankly, I don’t care. My only priority is survival in this dangerous, medieval world—and figuring out why fate decided to shove me into the life of a traitor. But the longer I’m near Damian, the harder it is to ignore the pull between us—the undeniable heat of the mate bond that makes his touch electric and his presence intoxicating. Enemies lurk in the shadows, including the woman who thinks she should be his Luna. Court intrigue spirals out of control, and the person behind Evelina’s betrayal might be closer than I realize. Damian’s trust is my only shield, but when the truth of my transmigration comes to light, I’m not sure even that will be enough to save me. Because in this world, it’s not love that conquers all—it’s power. And mine might not be enough.

Cedric awakens in the frostbitten realm of Eldermarch—now its fourth prince. But this is no fairy tale. Real witches? Hybrid Abyssal Beasts? Demonic Incursions? Gates of the Abyss? To survive the coming storm, he'll need more than royal blood. With a fiery witch as his unlikely ally and innovations that defy medieval dogma, Cedric must rally Borderwatch against horrors that melt steel… and outmaneuver a crown that feeds its heirs to the darkness."

For hundreds of thousands of years, the world drowned in war. How laughable. How detestable. How... utterly pathetic. They keep preaching justice, truth, hatred, vengeance but in the end its all the same. Too blind to grasp their own insignificance. Too arrogant to accept the simple truth. And yet, when salvation finally came, it was not by the hands of heroes, nor saints, nor those self-proclaimed "chosen ones." No, the world was saved by the very thing they feared most—a beast. Now, these wretched fools seek to cleanse their sins under a different banner. "An academy where all are equal." They believe such a farce will make the world forget their arrogance, their crimes. They think peace, when wrapped in a new name, will erase the blood they have spilled. But we have seen the light. We have been enlightened. While they wallow in their delusions, we gaze upon the truth. And in the truth, we shall be saved. —The Tower, Luminous Epoch
