The sky fractures like brittle glass, and the stars—those cold, distant sentinels—are swallowed whole by a darkness I cannot name. I hear the echoes of voices long silenced, their cries stretching across eternity. I feel the weight of something far beyond me, pressing down, shaping my steps, guiding my hand to a fate I do not yet understand. But I know, deep in my bones, that this is not a fate I can escape. I am a pawn in a game played by gods, pieces moved across a board older than time. Perhaps I was always meant to be this—a harbinger, a vessel, a sacrifice. I do not know who I was before. I do not know if I was ever given a choice. And yet, they expect me to choose. To build or to destroy. To save or to end. To hold onto the fragile strings of a world I do not remember, or to sever them and let it all collapse. They tell me I have power. They tell me I am at the center of it all. But what is power to a puppet? What is choice when every path leads to ruin? The people I meet, the ones who take my hand, who call me friend, who look at me with trust and hope—I wonder, when the final moment comes, will they curse my name? Will they see the truth of what I am, or will I hide it from them until the very end? I do not know which is the greater cruelty. I dream of an answer. Of a different path. But the vision never changes. The world will burn. And I will be the one to set it alight.

She was never meant to be his—let alone his tenth wife. Evelyn was nothing more than a servant, a ghost in the grand halls of the Demon Lord’s palace. She scrubbed floors, carried trays, and kept her head down—until the night a cruel twist of fate bound her to Damon Valtier. The Demon Lord. The monster feared across realms. The man with nine wives before her—each powerful, each chosen. She was neither. She was a mistake. A pawn in a ritual gone wrong. To the demon court, she is worthless. To his wives, she is a threat. And to Damon—the ruthless warlord who doesn’t believe in love—she is nothing. Yet, he does not cast her aside. He watches her. Tests her. Keeps her too close, as if waiting for something. But the Demon Lord does not take wives for love. And in a court where betrayal is currency, Evelyn must learn one truth quickly: Survival isn’t about being strong—it’s about being untouchable. And if she isn’t careful, she won’t just be Damon Valtier’s mistake. She’ll be his next dead wife.

Jo has spent her life surviving on the streets, invisible among the hungry and desperate. She is a shadow in the city, quick fingers and quicker feet keeping her alive in a world that does not care whether she lives or dies. But one mistake—one stolen purse, one misplaced step—changes everything. Dragged before the Emperor’s mother, Jo expects punishment, perhaps even execution. Instead, she is taken to the Red Keep, not as a prisoner in chains, but as something far more valuable. The empire is built on fire and blood, and the Mother has plans for Jo—plans that involve silken chambers instead of cells, gowns instead of rags, and a fate far worse than death. Because in the empire, power is passed through bloodlines, and an heir born with the right lineage is worth more than gold. Now, Jo must navigate a court where she is both pawn and prisoner, where her body is no longer her own, and where love is just another tool of control. With enemies at every turn and a future she never chose looming ahead, Jo must decide—will she submit to the cage built around her, or will she become something more dangerous than they ever imagined? Because even birds in golden cages can learn how to bite.

Leon was your typical guy, perceived as weak in his school because his skills hadn't awakened, even though they usually did at the coming of age. He attended the prestigious Milham's Magic Knight Academy, where snagging the top spot meant automatic entry into the esteemed position of a Magic Knight in the country. Unfortunately, Leon found himself in the lower caste, labeled the most useless student. To top it off, he was tossed into a class that served as a sanctuary for oddballs and delinquents. Yet, he couldn't care less, as becoming a Magic Knight wasn't his goal. Everything shifted when he crossed paths with Shredica, a woman hell-bent on becoming a Magic Knight at any cost. Observing Leon's lack of ambition and his apparent detachment from the academy's pursuits, Shredica saw an opportunity. She decided to exploit him as a pawn in her ascent through the academy's hierarchy. Yet, unbeknownst to Shredica, Leon was not the complacent, unremarkable figure she presumed him to be. *** Join the discord! https://discord.gg/gt4CDGkpEM
