Caleb always thought he was normal—until he woke up on his birthday and floated all the way to his ceiling. Now, he’s been dragged to Aether Academy, a prestigious magic school where he’s supposed to "unlock his true potential" (whatever that means). There, he meets Damian, an arrogant vampire prince who treats him like a walking snack, and Dominic, a sharp-tongued merman with a killer smile (and actual gills). Caleb wants nothing to do with Damian, but somehow, they keep clashing. Meanwhile, Dominic is everything Caleb never knew he wanted. But magic comes with rules. And love? Even more. As Caleb’s power grows, so does the choice he must make—Damian or Dominic. One could change his fate. The other? It could destroy him. Fantasy | Romance | BL Updates Weekly! Follow for more!

Twelve Thrones is a tale of twelve kingdoms, each with its own perspective, allowing you to follow one, multiple, or all as you decide who you want to see triumph in the end.

Twelve Thrones: Sha'tar Perspective takes you into the heart of Sha'tar, a kingdom shaped by its towering sandstone pyramids and vast desert landscapes. Sha'tar’s rulers are as ambitious as they are powerful, using their wealth from ancient treasures and trade routes to expand their influence across the known world. But with power comes conflict—both from within and from those who covet Sha'tar’s riches. As tensions rise, the kingdom must protect its legacy and face threats that could destroy its carefully built empire. The first 25 chapters will cover Sha'tar's history, uploaded weekly on Mondays at noon. Afterward, the main story begins with shorter chapters (1–2 per week) focusing on the present day. Unlike the history chapters, the story won’t have dates and will follow one character—you’ll need to piece together the timeline through character interactions and events. I recommend reading the series in date order to fully grasp the unfolding history. If the story gains popularity, I might include a date order map on each perspective.

This novel would be more focused on character development, slice of life, and romance.

I was Lady Valentina Avington, the beautiful, wicked, and narcissistic villainess of a novel. When I recalled memories of my past life, I decided I wanted everything the heroine had. Using my knowledge of the future, I became a fake saint, the successor to my house, the future queen, and won over the male leads. When the novel began, all I had to do was dispose of the female lead. Yet nothing was as it seemed, and before I knew it, my perfect facade fell to pieces. “You’re not who I thought you were.” “I despise you, Sister.” “It’s revolting to even look at you.” Call it ambition or greed, I would get what I wanted, by any means necessary. No matter the cost, I would definitely win. No need to like me, I have no excuses. Will you be cheering for my downfall, like the rest of them? *** Updates weekly.
