Historic British Annuities

Reincarnated as the Crown Prince

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.

Forebearer's Sight: Strangers Among Us

A young British child, Frederick, who was adopted by Portuguese sailors finds himself struggling for survival on the shores of West Africa. He soon discovered that the lands he found himself in were troubled by the aura of ancient cosmic darkness, Okunkun, that instilled hate against the indigenes of Africa in other races as their punishment for banishing it from its reign on the world. The remnants of Okunkun’s minions, Egbe Okunkun, commence a plot to bring back their glory days by attacking the Olodumare Festival, an iconic festival celebrated between the Yorubas, Igbos and Hausa in honour of their historic victory against Okunkun. Yet to recover from the shock of the attack, a mystical war broke out between the deities of Olodumare and the ancient Benin Kingdom when their spy, Warewa, discovered a secret slave trade allegiance between the Benin Kingdom, and Prince Henry the Navigator, son of a Portuguese Monarch, with Egbe Okunkun at the heart of it. Frederick gets caught in an unimaginable battle between the deities of Olodumare who swore to protect their people from Okunkun’s hate, the Benin kingdom, and Egbe Okunkun. Buoyed by their duty to prevent hate from destroying their land, the deities of Olodumare made it their duty to ensure that people from the outside world had no access to their lands. When Frederick’s presence on their land became known to them at the end of the battle, they were torn between letting him live, being a child, and the fear that he would succumb to the hate of Okunkun and be a danger to them all. Frederick builds a bond with the son of a powerful deity, Ifaromi who was convinced of his innocence and will for good. All hell broke loose when the plot of Egbe Okunkun bore fruit and the very darkness they sought to protect themselves against threatened to rise once more with Frederick at the heart of it all.

My Stepfather's Plaything

WARNING!! IT CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT AND THEMES OF BDSM AS WELL AS PARENTAL ABUSE. Kennedy Lowe is the golden daughter of Hollywood royalty — flawless, untouchable, and used to being adored. But when a scandal forces her to flee Los Angeles, she is sent across the ocean to live at Greystone Hollow, the Cotswold estate owned by her British stepfather, Julian Thorne Pembroke— a man twice her age, old money aristocrat, and dangerously magnetic. On the surface, Greystone is the perfect sanctuary — elegant, serene, and steeped in aristocratic tradition. But beneath its fresh air and posh luxuries lies a house of rules, secrets, and quiet hungers. What begins as fascination turns into obsession, and soon Kennedy and Julian find themselves entangled in a forbidden affair — one that threatens reputations, legacies, and the fragile alliance holding their fractured family together. All while Kennedy navigates elite British society, infiltrates London’s cruel upper circles, and discovers that not all secrets remain hidden–especially ones that would shake the British royalty and threaten connections and positions. As her mother returns to reclaim both her daughter and her spot as Julian’s wife, and old money rivals close in threatening to break down everything that had been built, Julian must choose: protect her innocence, or burn it all down to taste freedom — and the man she was never meant to have. Soon, she learns men don’t always have good intentions and she may have been grasping at straws to be with Julian. *** “I thought you loved me. I gave up everything to be with you!” I screamed at him as tears ran down my face. My nose and ears were red and for the first time, I didn’t care about my appearance. “Sure you’re a cute little toy to play with, but you couldn’t possibly think I had feelings for you. It’s not my fault you threw away everything for a fling with the man married to your mother.” He replied casually with a shrug. The British accent I had grown to love so much didn’t sound as enigmatic. His words were like little knives digging into my heart. “I wish I never met you!” I screamed at him. He closed the gap between us and stroked my cheek delicately while he wiped my tears with his thumb. “That’s not true,” he said, his words dripping like honey, “You know why? Because no one can fuck you as good as I can.” He pulled away to kiss me. You know what the worst part was? I kissed him back with equal passion and we fell back to our old patterns.

If India Had Risen: The Forgotten Revolution of 1921

What if India had risen in 1921 — not in 1947? In April 1921, two years after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, a grieving nation gathers in Amritsar to remember its dead — and to chart a new course. The British Raj, still reeling from international outrage and internal dissent, faces a nation on the brink of transformation. At the heart of this gathering stand men who will shape India’s destiny — or its downfall. Mohandas Gandhi, committed to non-violence, struggles to contain the tide of rage now sweeping across the land. Lala Lajpat Rai, the Lion of Punjab, calls for action without compromise. Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose, young and restless, seek a future beyond Dominion. Vallabhbhai Patel wages a quiet campaign to unite princely states under a federal vision. And Muhammad Ali Jinnah walks a careful line between trust and caution, protecting Muslim interests amid the rising nationalist wave. In the shadows of Metcalfe House, British officials prepare a different battle — one of political manipulation, divide and rule, and controlled concessions. But the winds of rebellion are stirring, and even the careful hands of empire may not hold them back. As mass protests spread, secret negotiations begin, alliances shift, and the first draft of an Indian Dominion Constitution is born. But will this path to freedom be forged through restraint — or through fire? 1921: India’s Forgotten Revolution is an epic alternate history of India’s independence struggle — a world where the spark of resistance was lit decades early, and the fate of an empire hung in the balance. A story of vision and betrayal, courage and compromise, it asks: "What if the giant had woken sooner?"
