In the opulent Kingdom of Eldoria, a realm steeped in tradition and magic, noble houses vie for power and influence. The kingdom is renowned for its grand castles, lush gardens, and vibrant court life, but beneath the surface lies a web of intrigue, ambition, and ancient rivalries. As political tensions rise and a prophecy unfolds, our hero, and former Sergeant Ryan Mitchell, Luke finds himself reincarnated in a low ranking noble house and placed in the center of a brewing storm. Eldoria is known for its rolling hills, fertile lands, and gleaming cities, was once united under the rule of benevolent lords and ladies, and the high king and queen, who wielded the ancient powers of the Eldorii Stones. These relics, infused with elemental magic, kept the kingdom in harmony, protecting it from invaders and stabilizing its fragile alliances. However, over time, the magic of the Eldorii Stones has faded, and the unity they once fostered is crumbling. A recent war between a rival kingdom has left the kingdom weakened. Ambitious lords and ladies of Eldoria vie for power, dividing the court and military into factions. With the recent death of the high king and the young crown prince still a child, a regency council fights the high queen for Eldoria, but they are mired in corruption and self-interest. Eldoria’s neighbors—the Kingdom of Valenwood, up to the north and the technologically advanced Empire of Veridan to the east—sense the kingdom’s vulnerability. The power hungry royalty are raiding border villages, and Veridan’s emperor eyes Eldoria’s resources, poised to launch an invasion under the guise of “liberation." Famine and poverty spread across the land, and discontent is brewing among the common folk. Rebellions are sparking in remote regions, weakening the crown’s grip on the kingdom, civil war almost seems possible. Sgt. Ryan Mitchell, a soldier from Earth who died in battle, awakens to find himself reincarnated in this chaotic world as Lord Luke, a low-ranking noble. He grows up under his father's rule of a peaceful provence out in the country, near the kingdom's troubled northern borders. At first, he is overwhelmed by the intricacies of noble life, the politics, and the strange customs, but his military experience and leadership skills prove invaluable to not only his father and the people, but the crown as well. As the storm of trouble builds, Ryan (now Lord Luke) must navigate a world filled with magic, political plots, and looming war. He is pulled into a web of conspiracy and intrigue that centers around the resurgence of the Eldorii Stones and an ancient prophecy that foretells the rise of warriors and a "special warrior from beyond" who are blessed by the gods, who will save the kingdom. Ryan realizes he must protect his new home from both internal corruption and external threats—and perhaps, in doing so, fulfill a greater destiny than he ever imagined, a destiny that may have him grow closer to the royal family than he would like....

Fencing can be a lot of things. It can be a sport that you’re good at, a scholarship, the key to get you into a mysterious college in the Pacific Northwest with centuries of tradition behind. It can be a link to a romanticized past, one that exists only in inked pages and the minds of children turning sticks into weapons of legend. Or, when you step into shadowed halls crowded with people who don’t belong, when you meet those that should no longer walk the earth, when you find yourself mired in fantasy and myth… It can be the key to survive. And, sometimes, to romance.

In a realm where the mystical Luna Pack revered Amaris Lun, a distinguished wolf of unmatched valor, an unexpected twist unfolds. Amaris, the epitome of lupine nobility, finds himself isekai-ed to a strange world, Earth. Yet, the question lingers – Was it an accident or a meticulously crafted conspiracy? In his new world, where the moon's luster pales compared to the moons of Luna, Amaris encounters a human girl who's as far from extraordinary as one can be.

You were just too silly to see it," he confessed, his eyes never leaving her face. "I'm a possessive wolf, Arya, and I really don't like seeing you with anyone else. Are we clear?" His words hung in the air, his actions speaking louder than any response. Arya's playful smile emerged as she teased, "Possessive wolf, huh? Does this mean you'll be howling at the moon when I'm not around?" Amaris chuckled, his voice a velvet purr. "Only if you promise to be my moon, my love." Follow Arya as her seemingly simple life takes an exhilarating turn following the arrival of Amaris. Will Amaris ever find his way back to the mystical realm of Luna? And who, in the name of the moon, is this heavily adorned figure claiming to be Amaris's betrothed?
