Marina Shifer

The Unwilling Consort of the Twin Kings

Aeger—a vassal kingdom both rich and ruined. A land of warriors and excess, ruled by twin kings who revel in debauchery yet remain unmatched in power. The empire seeks control, and the diarchs' elder sister, the Crown Princess, plays her own game—using Aeger to strengthen her hold on the court while trying to tame the brothers who threaten it. Marina Velkas, an Imperial Guard and reluctant governor, is sent to bring order. Instead, she is met with mockery in court, resistance in governance, and two kings who refuse to yield. Ruyi, sharp-tongued and reckless, enjoys breaking her defenses. Ruyel, cold and calculating, waits for her to surrender. But Marina does not break. She bends Aeger to her will, yet the kings remain watching, waiting. The court sees her as a passing intrigue, but whispers grow—of a bond that cannot be undone, of a governor who stands at the edge of something far greater. With the empire closing in and the kings tightening their claim, Marina must decide—continue fighting for a kingdom that will never be hers, or rise as its reluctant queen. [Formerly Sovereign of the Beasts. The first volume is seductive feline courtship and rather wholesome, but the first chapter is a throw forward to what would happen later.] ________________________________________ Excerpt: The Courtroom Duel Ruyi: “Denied.” Marina: “Of course it is.” Ruyel: “Try again with something less useless.” Marina: “Oh, I didn’t realize starving citizens were a matter of inconvenience to Your Majesties.” Ruyi: “They’re not starving. They’re simply unmotivated.” Marina: “Perhaps if you put more coin into infrastructure instead of your endless banquets, motivation wouldn’t be an issue.” Ruyel: “Careful, Governor. That sounds dangerously close to insubordination.” Marina: “And what will you do? Execute me for stating facts?” Ruyi: “Tempting, but then it would be too much paperwork?” Ruyel: “Answering another one of elder sister's calls isn't on my agenda.” Marina: “I just want a fair negotiation.” Ruyi: “It was, until you became insufferable.” Marina: “How terrible for you. A woman you can’t silence.” Ruyel: “Not yet.” (Laughter ripples through the court.) The Tiger’s Sparring Ground Marina: “Stop touching me like that.” Ruyel: “I’m correcting your stance.” Marina: “Find another student.” Ruyel: “I can’t.” Marina: “Why?” Ruyel: “Because no one else is worth my time.” Marina: “Then suffer alone.” Ruyel: “Oh, but I enjoy watching you suffer with me.” Marina: “You’re insufferable.” Ruyel: “And yet, your legs tremble every time I step too close.” Marina: “That’s from exhaustion.” Ruyel: “Liar.” Marina: “Get off me.” Ruyel: “No.” Marina: “I hate you.” Ruyel: “I know.” (Silence. Still trapped in his arms.) The Lion’s Den Marina: “Stop distracting me.” Ruyi: “But you’re so cute when you’re angry.” Marina: “You humiliated me today.” Ruyi: “And now I’m making up for it.” Marina: “By crawling into my bed?” Ruyi: “By holding the most important person in Aeger.” Marina: “I hate you.” Ruyi: “I know. Now, let me warm you up.” Marina: “You rejected my proposal.” Ruyi: “And I will approve it first thing in the morning.” Marina: “You—what?” Ruyi: “The only reason Aeger has more welfare programs than the empire now is because of how cute you are when you argue.” Marina: “That is not how governance works.” Ruyi: “That is exactly how governance works.” Marina: “You—” Ruyi: “Shh. Sleep, Marina.” (Tomorrow, the court will call her Governor. But tonight, she holds the true power.)

Threads of Time and Steel

Threads of Time & Steel A tale about Love, Magic and Revolution By A.B. Sucrose Marina Eldheim is a brilliant inventor, a woman ahead of her time in a pre-steampunk-inspired empire divided by class and fueled by magic. With her wild curls, grease-stained overalls, and sharp mind, she's known as the Cog Queen, revolutionizing the world with her creations. But even her ingenious inventions can't shake the restless dreams of a man she's never met-yet feels she's always known. Silva Fischburn is a disciplined soldier, a man haunted by his past and bound by duty to the empire that once shunned him and his mother. Rising through the ranks despite endless sabotage, Silva's loyalty is tested when whispers of rebellion threaten to tear the empire apart. But what shakes him most is the mysterious connection he feels to Marina, the inventor tasked with outfitting the imperial forces. When shadowy figures from the slums and the nobility conspire to use magic and manipulation to destroy them, Marina and Silva find themselves drawn together by forces neither can control. As old secrets, forbidden love, and the ghosts of a life they've both forgotten begin to resurface, they must fight for their place in a world that seeks to keep them apart. With the empire on the brink of war and their enemies circling closer, Marina and Silva must decide whether to follow the paths laid before them or risk everything to uncover the truth about their past-and their future. A tale of love, ambition, and defiance, 'Threads of Time & Steel' is a thrilling pre-steampunk epic where magic meets invention and destiny collides with free will.

Infierno Violeta

Se dice que en un pueblo de Grecia llamado "Fiskardo" nacio una pequeña niña la cual habia presentado sampullidos bastante graves en su pequeña piel, se creia que habia sido algún tipo de negligencia medica o una probable alergia sin embargo los analisis medicos dieron con que la pequeña niña no sufria de ningún tipo de alergia u enfermedad, tampoco habia alguna probable negligencia medica pues los procedimientos medicos fueron llevados de forma correcta, la pequeña bebe fue sometida a medicamentos sabiendo que esto podia resultarle peligro a su corta edad, sin embargo ningún tipo de procedimiento o medicamento llevado a cabo dio un resultado satisfactorio y al poco tiempo la pequeña bebe murio de forma agonizante pues su cuerpo exploto repentinamente, al poco tiempo casos similares fueron sucediendo alrededor de todo el mundo donde bebes morian de forma repentina y sin motivo alguno, se creia que era causado por algún tipo de virus pero no se pudo detectar absolutamente nada por el estilo e aún así se llevo a cabo una pandemia que fue conocida como "La pandemia fantasma" debido a que debian estar aislados pero no sabian de que. Un día ante todo pronostico un pequeño bebe en "Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil" nacio con una particularidad.. escamas, dichas escamas al principio fueron identificadas como meras deformidades fisicas las cuales debian ser tratadas y listo, sin embargo sorpresa sorpresa fue cuando dicho bebe no habia muerto repentinamente como el resto, de hecho, dicho bebe crecio hasta convertirse en un pequeño niño de 5 años en medio de un mundo donde se temia que la falta de natalidad iba a llevar a la humanidad a una extinción sin precedentes, sin embargo el pequeño niño.. podia respirar bajo el agua, las escamas que se creian eran una mera deformidad fisica si eran utiles, se descubrio que los padres e antepasados del niño se la pasaban la mayoria de su tiempo en el agua y era probable que esto se vio influido en el nacimiento de esta particularidad en el niño, aún que lo mas sorprendente era que el niño.. compartia genetica marina no heredada, evolucionada, a este caso se le conocio como el primer semi-humano de la historia y sirvio para analizar de donde procedian las muertes repentinas de los niños, se descubrio que estos bebes nacian con remanentes de aptitudes fisicas conocidas como "poderes" los cuales estos bebes no podian contener debido a sus fragiles cuerpos y estos morian de diversas formas que resultaban inquietantes. Gracias a esto se descubrieron metodos para contener estos poderes hasta que a cierta edad estos niños los despertaban pero gracias a sus cuerpos ya no morian de ninguna manera e estos se adaptaban a ellos. La humanidad se salvo de una inminente extinción y con el tiempo la cantidad de humanos con poderes sobrenaturales comenzo a aumentar. En el año 2006 nacio en Australia un bebe llamado Ayax, nadie sabe quienes son sus padres pero este se las tuvo que arreglarselas desde muy pequeño viviendo solo en la calle, hasta que un día un extraño sujeto lo capturo y llevo a un laboratorio, combinando poderes de ottas personas inocentes en busca del remanente perfecto, Ayax desarrolló un poder que cambiaria el rumbo de la historia para siempre..
