IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be known that this book wouldn't have made it this far without the support my dear writing buddy Rachel E.

Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and became celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities.

For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her. Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

In the peaceful village of Eldhaven, life is simple and predictable. Evan Carter, a humble farmer's son, was living a repetitive and mundane life. That is, until the day he's inexplicably transported to The Veil—a mysterious and dangerous realm where the ordinary laws of nature no longer apply. The Veil is a land of perilous beauty, teeming with creatures both wondrous and deadly. It is here that Evan discovers a hidden part of himself: latent abilities that awaken in response to the realm's strange energies. As he struggles to understand and harness these new powers, he encounters others who have been similarly transported, each hailing from different worlds, some with technology far beyond anything Evan could imagine. Each individual awakens unique traits that could tip the balance between survival and doom. Evan must navigate treacherous landscapes, solve ancient puzzles, and confront fearsome adversaries. Along the way, he forges alliances with fellow adventurers, and together they try to survive in a perilous world full of monsters and beasts(and maybe some familiar franchises).

Original Author: Songiba [I was forced to live in captivity for the rest of my life because I happened to be aware of the fact that I was a saint. I was truly a ‘real’ saint, but that didn’t matter, because there was already a designated saint in the temple. When I died from all the abuse I endured, I was sent back to a time before all those previous events in my life had happened. After 15 regressions, I was exhausted. I prayed, “I don’t want anything to do with this, so please just let me die,” And at that moment when I could finally be able to die, someone said, “How about being my daughter?” …. That monstrous duke had adopted me.]

This novel, The Immortal Queen, appears to belong to the fantasy genre, with elements of adventure, magic, and survival. The story seems to revolve around a young female protagonist, Amara, who is caught in a world filled with political intrigue, magical warfare, and survival struggles. The presence of magical systems, strategic warfare, and the challenges she faces in a post-apocalyptic world suggest that it could also have elements of dystopian fiction. Themes of identity, survival, and power dynamics between different factions within an empire are central to the plot.

At the dawn of a new era, on the verge of the industrial revolution, the world was on the brink of great discoveries and changes. But, while scientists and explorers were pushing the boundaries of their countries and the possibilities of technology, one continent remained hidden, shrouded in mystery and legends. This newly discovered continent, known among intellectuals as 'Novus Mundi', became the last refuge for those eager for wealth, power, and discovery. From all corners of the world, people with different skills, hopes, and dreams headed towards Novus Mundi, driven by tales of unexplored riches and wonders. As newcomers arrived with advanced tools and knowledge of machines, led by the early stages of the industrial revolution, they were not prepared for what they found. Novus Mundi was not only home to unexplored natural beauties and resources but also a world of magic and mysteries. The natives of this continent, wise in ancient arts and in harmony with nature, wielded magic in ways that technologically advanced strangers could scarcely imagine. The island was home not only to people who lived in harmony with nature, using magic for everyday life, but also to wondrous creatures that legends depicted as myths. Novus Mundi was a world where magic and science collided and intertwined. The conflict and cooperation between colonizers and natives, technology and magic, became the foundation for new stories, legends, and conflicts. While some sought ways to exploit the continent's resources, others sought understanding and harmony between the two worlds. Through this conflict and cooperation, Novus Mundi became a living stage for adventures, discoveries, and, above all, a new chapter in human history. The Black Tree waits for no one. --------------------------------------------------------- English is my fourth language, sorry if my writing is sometimes unconventional.

So, I like to say that I am doing this more as a hobby than as any source of income. So I will be posting this book on my own time so I will try my best to get at least one chapter out a week, but if your here for a work that rapidly churns out content for you to enjoy, I kindly ask you to come back another time. Also I am very new author, and this is me experimenting with writing styles as well. I might go first person one chapter and all third person the next. This is all new to me but a passion I want to get into. So be critical of any mistakes I make so I can correct them for the future. I hope you enjoy my work. P.S. As for the r18 tag, I not sure if I going to do that kind of stuff or not yet. However, I wanted to leave the option open for me in the future.)
