(Matured Content-No rape) “She was promised to a prince. But taken by a monster who calls himself king.” In a realm ruled by blood and empire, twenty-four kingdoms bow to one throne — and at the center of it sits Emperor Zareth Ravaryn, a vampire older than most dynasties, cold as obsidian, and feared as much as he is obeyed. Princess Serenya of Vayrana was never meant to catch his eye. Gentle. Devoted. Already betrothed to the human prince she loved from afar. But one imperial ceremony changed everything. When the Emperor sees her — veiled in gold, eyes full of light — he names her his future Empress. She refuses. He doesn’t ask twice. Now torn from her homeland and chained in silk and duty, Serenya finds herself in a court of shadows, where power is worn like perfume and secrets drip from every whispered bow. But Zareth is not just the monster she feared. He is obsessed. And his obsession doesn’t break... it consumes. As the blood empire trembles under rebellion, forbidden longing ignites between captive and captor, and the girl who once dreamt of love must decide: Will she fight for her freedom— or burn for his throne? Dark fantasy meets imperial seduction in this slow-burn vampire romance — with original lore, dangerous rituals, forbidden love, and a heroine who was never meant to kneel. Welcome to the Empire of Thorns. Where love is a game only monsters win. #bookone of The Empire of Thorns series --- Excerpt. A man stood before her. Not just any man. The man. Eyes like twin flames. Lips curled into a knowing smirk. A voice like thunder dipped in velvet. "And who might you be, little dove?" Zareth purred. Serenya's heart slammed against her ribs. "I-I'm... I was just—" "Lost?" he finished for her, his tone mocking yet oddly amused. She nodded, clutching her veil tighter. His eyes trailed down the curve of her figure, and then back to her eyes. "You're not from around here," he said, though he already knew. "I'm from Vayrana," she managed, voice barely above a whisper. His grin widened. "That explains the veil. So well-behaved. So sweet." He stepped closer, and she instinctively backed up—until her back hit the wall. "Running off alone into a palace full of monsters... either you're braver than you look, or dumber," he drawled, eyes gleaming. Her eyes widened at the insult, but something in his tone kept her frozen. "I didn't mean to be disrespectful—" "Oh, but you weren't," he interrupted. "In fact, you've just made this entire evening… interesting." He reached out, adjusting the edge of her veil with a gentleness that contradicted his deadly aura. "What's your name, dove?" She hesitated. "Your name," he repeated, voice darker now. "I don't ask twice." "Serenya," she whispered. He leaned in, mouth brushing close to her ear. "Serenya," he repeated, tasting it. "Pretty name. Suits you." Then, as quickly as he came, he stepped back. The moment shattered. "Go on now, little dove. Before your father comes searching."

Title: Kasarinlan Note: This is a fantasy story infused with Philippine history, set in an alternate world. Tagline: "Freedom, Unity, Peace, The three symbols a nation needs to fight against foreign oppression. But what happens when those who embody and deliver these qualities clash in their methods and beliefs on how to protect the nation they are meant to safeguard?" Plot: For over 500 years, the powerful nation of Spain has colonized the Philippines, treating it as one of its colonies. Due to countless failures and defeats of Filipino heroes and revolutionaries, the people gradually lost the courage to reclaim their homeland from the colonizers. With hope fading, Filipinos eventually surrendered and accepted Spanish rule over their nation. Over the centuries, Spanish governance grew increasingly cruel toward the country's citizens, dividing Filipino society into two classes: Honorary Spaniards or "Hilaw" (as the Spanish call them): These are Filipinos who abandoned their Filipino identity to become "adopted childre ton of Spain" in exchange for certain privileges in the country. Low-Class Citizens or "Indio" (as the Spanish call them): These are Filipinos from poor families, stripped of numerous privileges and rights in their own land. Due to their low social status, they are often oppressed, abused, and unable to defend themselves in any court or legal system in the country.

In the 17th century, the infamous pirate Verbeck terrorized the Spanish colonies, amassing a fortune beyond imagination. But his greatest secret isn’t hidden in the Caribbean… it lies on a mysterious island in another world, where he concealed his treasure along with an artifact of unimaginable power: A legendary relic forged by a forgotten and mysterious civilization. Centuries later, a failed writer steals an old journal describing a sailor’s journey in search of an island that appears on no map. Inspired, he writes a novel based on the accounts—unaware that its publication will provoke the wrath of the Spanish Empire and the Holy Inquisition, who see more than mere fiction in its pages. Accused of heresy, the writer is imprisoned. But before his arrest, he hides a crucial clue to the treasure. When his granddaughter uncovers the truth, she sets out to investigate, only to be pulled into the same deadly conspiracy. Her path soon crosses with that of a young Jesuit priest—himself a descendant of Verbeck—who is also on the trail of the lost island. Together, they join the crew of Captain Skippy, a daring elf in the service of the Sylvandrian colony, a hidden elven enclave on the fringes of British Georgia. With his homeland on the brink of economic collapse, Skippy sees this treasure hunt as their last hope for survival. But they are not the only ones chasing Verbeck’s fortune. A ruthless viceroy, a bloodthirsty pirate, and fanatical inquisitors—driven by dark forces—are all willing to kill for the relic and the cursed gold. For Skippy, his crew, and their unexpected allies, the journey will become more than a treasure hunt—it will be an odyssey that challenges the laws of their world and uncovers secrets that were never meant to be revealed.

Lancelot Haier came from a dynasty of politicians who had ruled with tyranny and oppression. Despite those origins, he despised his family and was willing to help the citizens who had long suffered under their rule. However—before he even had the chance to change his country, the people revolted. His entire family was executed, and he was killed along with them. In his final moments, he wished for a second life—one where he could redeem himself and carry the sins of his bloodline. Unexpectedly, that wish was granted. He was reincarnated into another world as the crown prince of the Kingdom of Aragon. But in this world, everything felt backward. The country was ruled by an absolute monarch. Feudalism was the norm. Technology resembled that of the late 1700s. Fortunately, in his past life, he had earned degrees in both mechanical engineering and political science—knowledge he once hoped to use to reform his homeland. Now, it seemed he would use them here instead. He would use his modern knowledge to transform the lives of his people, industrialize his territory, gain the upper hand in technology, and form alliances with foreign nations—all while navigating the treacherous waters of internal affairs and politics. P.S While Reincarnated as the Crown Prince draws inspiration from historical settings, political systems, and technologies of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, this work is entirely fictional. All characters, governments, names, and events—although some may resemble real-world history—are products of the author’s imagination or are used in a fictionalized, altered form for narrative purposes. This novel is not a historical account. It should not be interpreted as a factual representation of any real monarch, nation, revolution, or political figure. Lancelot Haier, his backstory, and the alternate version of different kingdoms portrayed here are entirely original creations. The inclusion of familiar concepts like feudalism, industrialization, and political reform serves the plot and world-building, not historical documentation. Readers seeking accuracy in history are encouraged to consult verified academic sources. This story is a creative work meant for entertainment, character development, and speculative exploration of “what-if” scenarios rooted in alternate history. Thank you for reading, and I hope you will enjoy the journey.

In a world where the Earth's towering trees are the silent, ancient guardians of the land, a powerful force awakens deep beneath the soil. The roots of the most resilient and monumental tree species begin to stir, driven by an age-old rivalry for dominance. The call for supremacy echoes through forests, jungles, and savannas, igniting an epic battle among Earth's giants: Sequoias, Baobabs, Banyans, and Eucalyptus. The story begins with the ancient Sequoias of North America, standing as colossal sentinels, their roots delving deep into the earth. Joined by their allies, the Redwoods, they aim to dominate the northern territories through sheer size and strength. Across the ocean, the mighty Baobabs of Africa prepare to defend their arid homeland, using their massive, water-storing trunks to survive droughts and withstand harsh conditions. The Banyans of Asia, with their intricate aerial root systems, expand aggressively, choking out other vegetation to claim vast areas of tropical lands. Meanwhile, the fast-growing Eucalyptus of Australia spread rapidly, their flammable leaves creating natural fires that clear away competition. As these titans clash, the smaller, fast-growing trees and shrubs see an opportunity amidst the chaos. The underbrush forms a coalition, exploiting the giants' distraction to secure their own niches. In coastal regions, the Mangroves and Willows capitalize on the rising sea levels and flooding caused by climate change, thriving where other trees falter. The unexpected rise of invasive species like Kudzu adds another layer of complexity, threatening to upset the delicate balance even further. Amid this ecological warfare, a deeper connection begins to emerge. The trees are linked by a vast underground network of fungi known as mycorrhizae. The fungal alliances help transport nutrients across species, prompting the giants to reconsider their rivalry. For the first time, the ancient trees contemplate cooperation, recognizing the benefits of mutual support. However, nature itself intervenes with a series of wildfires and floods, reshaping the battlefield. The Sequoias and Redwoods, once allies, engage in a fierce internal rebellion as the Redwoods seek their share of the dominance. The Oaks and Bamboo initiate a separate conflict, each employing unique strategies to claim new territories. Yet the battles take a toll on the land, scarring ecosystems and endangering the delicate balance of life. As the fighting reaches a fever pitch, the ancient trees convene a council, realizing the destructive path they have taken. They decide to form a truce, recognizing their shared purpose as guardians of the Earth. In a final, climactic moment, the giants entwine their roots, creating a powerful symbol of unity. The epilogue paints a picture of a renewed forest, where the scars of battle are healing. New contenders like the adaptive Sycamores rise quietly, unnoticed in the shadows of the great trees. Together, the once-warring species now stand as a united force, their roots intertwined in harmony, symbolizing a new era of cooperation. The forest, a testament to the resilience and interconnectedness of nature, emerges stronger, echoing with the peaceful whispers of the ancient trees.

“For years I have tried to tell you I was innocent, and what did you do?” “Briar, please,” Cassian tried to say. “It’s not like that―” “Like what?” I spat. “Not like you’ve tormented me my whole life? Not like you’ve used me and tried to have me killed?” “There was a reason for it,” Rowan tried to say. His eyebrows were furrowed together tightly as he took a step forward. He reached for my hand, and I quickly stepped back. Hurt flashed across his eyes. “We didn’t know―” “Of course you didn’t,” I said with a humorless laugh. “All you did was listen to the lies Violet told you. Even though I am your fated mate, you’ve ignored all my pleas to just listen to what I had to say.” “Briar, please listen to us,” Soren said. His eyes were red with desperation. “Please give us another chance.” “No,” I said, shaking my head. “I’m done waiting. I’m done hurting.” I met their gaze, mustering all the strength I had. I ignored the way their mark on my neck burned in protest. “You’ve made your bed,” I said. “Now it’s time to lie in it.” *** Briar Argyris was born into power, the youngest daughter of the revered Beta family of the Shadowclaw Pack―until the day she vanished.

She was the fated mate of not one, but three Alphas. Rowan. Soren. Cassian Hadeon. Childhood friends of Willow. Heirs of the Shadowclaw Pack. And her greatest tormentors. They wanted nothing to do with her―convinced she had destroyed the girl they loved, and fueled by the lies of Violet, Willow’s best friend. To them, Briar was nothing but a cruel joke of fate. Trapped in a bond she didn’t choose, hated by the men fate bound her to, Briar is determined to survive―even if her heart shatters in the process. Because the truth is still buried.

And those who wish to climb these mountains are known as Heaven Piercers. Ray is a young boy from a race of warriors known as Sunbringers, and Ray’s life goal ever since he was a child has been to uncover the secrets lying at the top of each of Heavens Claws. However, the Sunbringers have a tradition where their people are only able to leave their homeland at the age of 14, during a coming of age ceremony. If one chooses to leave, they may never come back. Join Ray throughout his journey to reach the peak of each of the Heavens Claws, making both friends and enemies along the way, as he makes his way throughout a world he has no knowledge of to achieve his dreams.

Six teenagers. One war-torn world. And a fruit that changed everything. On the 84th day of hiding, after the skies burned with missiles and their homeland crumbled under a silent apocalypse, six teens emerge from a forgotten shelter only to find their world… no longer theirs. The ground is cracked with realm fractures. The sky bleeds twilight. And a strange fruit, glowing in the dark, offers power but at a cost. Each of them gains a mysterious half-tattoo, a Veinmark, symbolizing a power tied to an unknown realm. To unlock it fully, they must pass a cryptic test. Guided by a strange, unnerving figure known only as Riftling, they face evolving threats called Daevarian's beings that are far more than monsters. As realms shift and secrets unravel, the six must survive long enough to understand what they are… and what they’re becoming. But some truths come too late. Some powers come at a price. And in a world where time bends, shadows speak, and fate itself is fractured even heroes can vanish.
