Rovan is a blacksmith, the lowest of the low in a world ruled by magic. Born without powers, he has spent his life working the forge, surviving under the iron fist of an emperor who takes everything—even the children blessed with magic. When a desperate boy stumbles into his forge, hunted by the emperor’s men, Rovan makes a choice that will change his life forever: he hides the boy, sparking a chain of events that will lead him to a secret that could shake the empire to its core. Drawn into a web of rebellion, mystery, and forbidden power, Rovan discovers that leadership isn’t about magic or strength—it’s about courage. Guided by a mysterious woman, a wise old master, and his own unyielding heart, Rovan becomes the protector of those who would otherwise be silenced. But with danger closing in from all sides, can a powerless blacksmith rise to lead a nation and stand against the might of an emperor who steals the gods’ blessings? Or will the flames of rebellion consume him and the children he’s sworn to protect?

Do you believe in magic? The answer of most will be no. But what if magic DID exsist? To some, it might just be your typical average story. But this has an element of unpredictability mixed in between. Diane Lewis was a normal teenage girl from an aristocratic family. But since she met HIM, her view of the world turned upside down. "How is that even possible?" She asked, mouth agape. He smiled at her, showing a perfect set of snow-white teeth. "With magic, anything is possible." Horn your skills and train your ability. "I will protect you." She said, with a determined gaze. "You can Barely even protect yourself. You are not strong enough." He retorted. "Then, just wait for Me to get stronger." She said, with a smile. "You have no right to be here. We cut ties remember?" He said, glaring at her fiercely. "I am not here for you. I am here for the family. I still have people I treasure here. So let me through or else..." She completed her statement by majestically drawing out her sword. So many secrets lay hidden. Injustice in the form of justice. Lies, fabricated to become truth. Deception roams around, unleashed. And a Naive girl, who had never seen the shadow that lurked around in the abyss. Will she Survive? Will she fail? It is up to you to find out.

"Margaret, you're the older sister, you have to give in to the younger one." In her whole life, those words clung like a curse to Margaret. Whether it was her beloved teddy bear, pretty dresses, Halloween candies, or parental love, if Elizabeth asked, she had to unconditionally yield them all up to her. Since young, Elizabeth had weighed down on Margaret like an enormous mountain and suffocated her. Fortunately she still had a boyfriend who had loved her for six years—Amster, the pack alpha. "You will be my wife and the future luna of the pack," He promised. Until the day when she and her sister was turning 18 years old, and Amster's lover and fated mate turned out to be her twin sister Elizabeth! Margaret watched as Amster, who had said he loved her, passionately kissed with Elizabeth, and announced Elizabeth as the luna without a second thought. The only emotional sustenance Margaret possessed crumbled; once again, what belonged to her had been snatched away by Elizabeth. What's worse, Amster even asked Margaret to entertain the guests. All because Elizabeth knew nothing except how to wheedle and dress herself up. Unable to refuse the request of her former lover, Margaret agreed to this...

With the curse broken, the residents of Storybrooke struggle with resolving their original and cursed memories, left wondering about the fate of their land. When Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold successfully introduces magic into the real world, some of the Storybrooke residents try to figure out how to return home, leading to an incident with the Mad Hatter's teleporting hat that causes Emma and Snow White/Mary Margaret to be accidentally transported to the Enchanted Forest.

I had been using a desktop wallet to store my Bitcoin, and for the longest time, everything was running smoothly. I never thought much about it—until one day, a routine software update went terribly wrong and wiped out all my local files. Just like that, $600,000 worth of Bitcoin was suddenly inaccessible. My heart sank as I realized the magnitude of the situation. To make things worse, I had been in such a rush the day I set up the wallet that I didn’t carefully document my recovery phrase. I know it was a rookie mistake, but it was the worst kind of oversight. When the update happened, I was left helpless with no way to access my wallet. I spent days going through old notes, trying to remember where I might have stored the backup phrase. I looked everywhere—folders, emails, notebooks—but came up empty-handed each time. The amount of money at stake was staggering, and the stress was overwhelming. I started to lose hope and couldn’t believe that something as simple as an overlooked phrase could cost me my entire savings. In desperation, I scoured online forums, hoping someone might have a solution. That’s when I kept coming across the name Digital Hack Recovery. At first, I hesitated—after all, who wouldn’t be cautious about trusting strangers with the recovery of such a large sum of money?

From the moment I contacted Digital Hack Recovery, they were nothing short of professional. They responded quickly and efficiently, explaining how they’ve dealt with similar cases in the past.

if you love dramas,you'll love this. "My beautiful Margaret," Lewis uttered, his palm grazing my cheek. His eyes bore into mine, a mixture of sorrow and regret. "At least you used to look beautiful before we got married." His words hung in the air, heavy with disappointment. The room seemed to close in on me, the walls suffocating. What had happened to us? Was our love merely a facade, a beautiful lie? "I am in love with Ariana," Lewis confessed, his voice barely audible. "We've been together for a long time, and it's her my heart now yearns for." My heart clenched. Ariana—my best friend. The revelation struck me like a lightning bolt. How had I missed the signs? How had our love unraveled so completely? I sank to my knees, tears streaming down my face. The pain was unbearable, a raw ache that threatened to consume me. Lewis sighed, the sound echoing through the room, and then he walked away. In that moment, my world shattered. Love had betrayed me, and friendship had crumbled. I was left with nothing but the remnants of a broken heart, wondering if any of it had ever been real.

Capitolo 1 Lady Isadora, un'affascinante giovane aristocratica, passeggiava nel giardino di Kensington, circondata da aiuole fiorite e alberi secolari. Il sole del pomeriggio filtrava tra le foglie, creando un gioco di ombre sul sentiero. Isadora amava quel luogo; era il suo rifugio segreto, dove poteva sognare e riflettere lontano dagli sguardi curiosi della sua famiglia. Ma oggi, la sua mente era occupata da pensieri contrastanti. Da un lato c'era Lord Nicholas, un giovane affascinante con un sorriso disarmante e un'intelligenza acuta. Dall'altro, c'era Hastings, il potente duca di Waverley, noto per la sua determinazione e il suo carattere tenace. Entrambi erano su pretendenti, entrambi avevano catturato la sua attenzione. “Isadora!” chiamò una voce, interrompendo i suoi pensieri. Era Lady Margaret, la sua migliore amica, con un'espressione vivace sul volto. “Ho sentito voci di un ballo a palazzo la prossima settimana. Dovremmo andarci!” “Un ballo?” rispose Isadora, i suoi occhi brillavano di curiosità. “Senza dubbio, sarà l’occasione perfetta per incontrare Lord Nicholas e il duca.” Margaret, divisa tra l'eccitazione e la preoccupazione, smise di camminare. “Spero che tu non scelga Hastings. È affascinante, ma è anche molto ambizioso. Potrebbe non essere il partito giusto per te.” Isadora sorrise, ma il suo cuore batteva forte. “Nicholas è un gentiluomo, ma c’è qualcosa in Hastings che mi attrae; la sua forza, la sua presenza… è difficile da spiegare. Ma come posso scegliere, quando entrambi gli uomini sembrano interessati a me?” Lady Margaret, prendendo la mano di Isadora, lo fece con affetto. “Ricorda, cara amica, che non è solo il tuo cuore a dover decidere, ma anche la tua mente. Ascolta ciò che senti veramente.” Mentre le due ragazze si allontanavano verso casa, Isadora sentì un misto di emozione e incertezza. La danza tra il dovere e il desiderio era appena cominciata.*

A Slave. A King. A Coward. A god. And 6 kingdoms. Arlankis, Kronos, Mrygyan, Summer Isle, the Free Nation and Vilandres. The Great War between men and dragons ended with men triumphing over the scaled, fire breathing beasts and with victory came great greed and cruelty as men became kings and princes and noblemen and women. But centuries have passed since the war and a chasm has been wedged between nobles and common people. Years under the reign of terror brought back slave trades and quest for power. Stubborn, hot-headed and the leader of a small gang of slaves, Mare’s only claim in life is that she has the blood of dragons running in her, a notion that remains to be tested, and as such has been chosen to unseat the cruel king of fantastical Arlankis, and bring a new dawn to her people. She is a hero. A hero without a proven claim. But her attempts at heroism backfires when her plan to assassinate the king goes horribly wrong. She is not the hero she wants to be, rather she becomes the king’s slave, chosen to please him at his every whim, a task she loathes with as much intensity as she loathes the king. Her only regret is that her actions have not just condemned her into sex service for the king but her friends, Llod and Veren have been condemned to the same fate, serving noble families of the kingdom. Yet, her journey in the king’s castle is only beginning when an incident happens to truly prove that she is indeed a dragon lord, able to command one of the few dragons remaining after the Great War. This puts her in a new light and Vallezarii, king of Arlankis makes a decision to marry her so that she will give him dragon heirs. To her surprise, she is not the only one bestowed with such powers. Perci, the king’s heir, has secrets of his own that only Mare knows. He is a dragon lord and a captive of his so-called “father”. Like Mare, he seeks freedom from his duties and seeks to unite the 6 kingdoms again, bringing them once more under the reign of dragons. The is the true prophecy; A hero would arise to unite the kingdoms again bring dragons back into power. Whether that hero is Perci or Made remains to be seen. But there are challenges along the way of their quests. First came love: Even though Mare has become the king’s wife, she and Perci can hardly stay away from each other not even after his marriage to the princess of Mrygyan, a union made to merge the nations as one. The consequences of their illicit affair will cost them their position and most possibly their lives and the lives of those they love. Then came betrayal and terror: Slowly, dragons begin to rise again and the want for power is once again an unquenchable taste and every one wants to rise with the dragons, everyone wants a share of the kingdoms and will stop at nothing – even killing to satisfy their desires as long as they seat at the table of a dragon lord. Then came the mystery: Amidst the quest to bring dragons into power, there are others who seek to keep the dynasty of dragons buried. And this opposition come from no one but the long descendants of dragon lord. And with this confusion comes the mystery… A seventh kingdom. The Dragon Seat.
