Helena Stawska

The Last Banner

Hadrian never expected to die—let alone wake up in another world as the frail, sickly son of a duke. Tasked by a god to unite humanity and destroy the monstrous races threatening its survival, Hadrian initially dismisses the divine mission as irrelevant. But when personal tragedy strikes, he embraces his role with a burning resolve, determined to forge a path of vengeance, innovation, and unrelenting ambition. In a fractured world where humans are teetering on the edge of extinction, Hadrian must navigate political intrigue, familial bonds, and the looming spectre of war. Armed with memories of his past life and a mysterious system that grants him knowledge and power, he begins introducing revolutionary changes to his dukedom—from crop rotation to matchlock muskets—all in preparation for the battles to come. As he improves his holding and builds alliances, Hadrian’s relationships grow increasingly complex. His sharp wit and newfound confidence put him at odds with his manipulative older sister, Helena, even as a deeper connection begins to form between them. His bond with his steadfast older brother, Alexander, is tested by suspicion and rivalry. Meanwhile, the looming threat of goblins, orcs, and the sinister Church of the Flame hangs over his every move. The Last Banner is a tale of survival and ambition, blending the grit of dark fantasy with the calculated strategy of a military epic. Through disciplined formations, tactical brilliance, and unwavering determination, Hadrian sets out to unite humanity under his banner and reclaim a world that has all but forgotten the strength of its people. But as the stakes rise and the lines blur between saviour and conqueror, Hadrian must confront the cost of his ambition. Will he become the beacon of hope that humanity desperately needs, or will his quest for power ignite the flames of its final downfall? [sorry guys, I did already rite 16 chapters for what I thought this story needed to be, but it was too slow paced for me, I could've called that a prologue that's how far away it was from the main story i had planned for this novel, so this is attempt two, it gets straight into the kingdom building, but don't worry, there's still a bit of tragedy, as that is life isn't it, hope u enjoyyy.] -join the discord[https://discord.gg/zhwebYYm]

The Obsidian Sovereign: Shadow Reign

In a world where unseen hands control the fates of nations, a figure only known as "the Lord" reigns supreme. From the darkness of his concealed fortress, the Lord commands an empire built on fear, manipulation, and death. His identity is a mystery, his reach endless—governments topple at his whisper, powerful families crumble with a single command. Those who dare to oppose him vanish without a trace. He is a master of the shadows, feared by all, but trusted by none. Sarah and Helena, two ordinary sisters, are suddenly plunged into this deadly world when they are marked for elimination by the most powerful families on earth. Unknown forces are closing in on them, and the Lord—cold, ruthless, and enigmatic—becomes their only hope for survival. But why? What is it about these sisters that draws the Lord’s obsessive protection, even as he destroys those who seek to harm them? As his lethal agents, including the hauntingly deadly Seraphine and the merciless Queens, execute his commands without question, the sisters begin to realize that they are mere pieces in a much larger game—one that stretches back decades and is laced with vengeance, betrayal, and hidden horrors. The Lord’s web of power is unraveling, and the enemies lurking in the shadows are closing in fast. In a relentless storm of betrayal, intrigue, and violent retribution, the Lord’s hidden empire begins to fracture as ghosts from his past emerge. His connection to the sisters is far deeper than even he cares to admit, and as layers of secrecy peel away, Sarah and Helena must confront a terrifying truth: they are tied to the Lord’s darkest, most painful secrets, and the world they thought they knew is built on blood-soaked lies. Every move they make is watched, every decision a potential trap. And in the dead of night, a hidden force even more terrifying than the Lord stirs—an ancient power that threatens to consume them all. In a game where loyalty shifts like quicksand, and where every step could lead to unimaginable peril, the sisters must decide whether to trust the man who holds their lives in his hands… or face annihilation at the hands of an unstoppable, unseen enemy. But nothing is what it seems, and the Lord’s true motives are more chilling than they ever imagined. As the final pieces fall into place, the lines between savior and monster blur. The Lord’s empire teeters on the edge of collapse, and with enemies closing in from every side, one question remains: can Sarah and Helena survive the storm brewing around them, or will the Lord’s past drag them all into oblivion? In a pulse-pounding tale of relentless suspense and heart-stopping action, every shadow hides a deadly secret, and every moment is a fight to stay alive.
