They always called her a sinner. She called it survival. Julia never chose to be a nun, to worship a "Lord" she had never seen. But her parents left her no peace— “And these are supposed to be children of God? Who don’t let your soul rest?” she would think every day. For the record, this wasn’t blasphemy. She simply hadn’t chosen this life. “—1 Corinthians: And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” Yes... but only when I love the ‘normal’ way, she’d mock silently.

Centuries ago, the Elyari Empire collapsed in a cataclysm of magic, leaving behind cursed soil, shattered thrones, and the "Fast Lives" — a cruel spell that dooms peasants to live full lives in only a decade. Now, fifty young sovereigns — scions of ancient houses — each rule their fragments of a broken realm, spread across wild biomes from icy mountains to scorched deserts, tangled forests to fertile plains. Among them is Alexios of House Helion, called Caesar, a charismatic leader in the plains, who dreams of unity. With his sister Niharika, a healer, and a circle of builders, warriors, and diplomats, he dares to imagine an island healed. He is joined — and opposed — by a web of rulers: Amir, a desert tactician; Thalia, a cultured visionary; Takahashi, the isolationist shogun of the forests; Julia, the cunning queen of Duskreach; Lyra, the stoic queen of ice; Astrid, a war-hardened tactician; and many others. As alliances rise and collapse, ancient tombs whisper secrets of the past. A prophecy emerges — a second calamity is near. When Alexios and Amir uncover lost Elyari texts in a volcano’s heart, they vow to stop history from repeating. But prophecy is not easily bent. Ramses and Adonis revolutionize village-building, ushering a new age of infrastructure and cooperation. Weddings are held, flags are raised, and pacts are signed. But underneath the progress, betrayals fester. Julia builds a web of spies. Orlan rises from exile. Takahashi's code clashes with diplomacy. Amir is poisoned. Friendships unravel. Whispers of an undead army echo from ancient tombs. The cursed minerals of vaelstone — coveted, dangerous, powerful — begin to reawaken forces best left buried. When Julia misreads the prophecy and activates a forgotten army, the dead rise again — and this time, they do not recognize kings from peasants. As kingdoms fall and cities burn, a final alliance of survivors unites: not for power, but survival. The past has awakened, and it remembers everyone. To save the island, the inheritors of Elarion must decide: Will they repeat the sins of their ancestors… or rise above them?

"As far back as I can remember, I've always been a loner, a boy who was a bit apart but whom everyone deemed ordinary. When I say I was lonely, I'm not referring to the loneliness that some people might have felt from rejection, insults, or being ignored.

Mia stood at the edge of the driveway, soaked to the skin, her fingers trembling as she clutched the small duffel bag that held what was left of her world. Her once-best friend—Naomi—stood by the door, her expression smug as she watched Mia's shattered form disappear into the storm. Naomi had done the unthinkable—seduced Mia’s father, married him, and now claimed both her home and her dignity. "You're not welcome here anymore," Naomi had hissed hours earlier, her younger sister Julia giggling in the background like a vulture circling its prey. Mia didn’t argue. She didn’t beg. She just left. But she wasn’t just broken… she was pregnant. One night. One careless, electric night. That’s all it had been. The face of the man who fathered her child remained a blur in her memory, but the impact of their encounter would last forever. She didn’t even know his name. Just his scent. His rough hands. His piercing green eyes. She wandered the streets until her legs gave out and she collapsed on a park bench. The cold bit into her bones. She was seconds away from giving up when a voice called out—a woman's voice. Warm. Rich. Kind. "Are you alright, sweetheart?" Mia looked up and saw a woman dressed in silk and cashmere, stepping out of a Rolls Royce like a guardian angel in heels. Her name was Indigo Vance, and she didn’t hesitate to open her arms—and her home—to the fragile, pregnant stranger before her. Months passed. Mia thrived. And when she gave birth to twins—Florish and Oliver—with stormy green eyes and that same mysterious charm, Indigo only smiled knowingly. Meanwhile, in a sleek glass tower in Manhattan, billionaire Shade Vance ran the most powerful company in New York with an iron fist. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. But all of that changed the moment he saw a pregnant woman in the mall one afternoon. Their eyes met. Something shifted. A memory flickered. He didn’t know her. But somehow… she felt like home. When Mia was finally ready to work, Indigo offered her a position at Vance Corp—as Shade’s personal secretary. And that was when everything began again. Secrets. Sparks. Seduction. But it wouldn’t be easy. Because Julia—the bitter, beautiful ex who once broke Shade’s heart—is back. And this time, she’s determined to destroy anything in her way… including Mia. But Mia isn’t alone anymore. She has her children. She has Indigo. And soon, she’ll have her revenge, her love… and her name back. Because this is not just Mia’s story. This is her reckoning. Do you think Julia Mia's step sister would win back her ex boyfriend's heart? What about Mia's children? Ha! Interesting right? You don't wanna miss out so grab you popcorn cos this will be a ride you will never forget. ___________________________________ « TBC » ___________________________________ Like, Comment and share.

Not when they're constant reminders of what could have been," I retorted, each word a painful admission. "I have a way," she said suddenly, a flicker of determination igniting her features.
