When the Tides Forgot to Turn

The news spread through the castle like wildfire, but the how and why were locked behind a veil of silence. No one dared speak the truth—not aloud, not even in whispers. A tragedy, they said. An accident. A sudden illness. But you could feel it, couldn’t you? The weight in the air, the unease gnawing at the edges of every conversation. It was no accident. You are sixteen—too young to rule, too wise to pretend you don’t understand the peril that now surrounds you. The throne, which was never meant for someone so young, now calls to you, heavy with the burden of responsibility and suspicion. The death of your parents has left a vacuum, a hole in the heart of the kingdom, and the vultures are circling. The council, once a place of unity, is now divided. Some swear loyalty to you, but there’s always a hint of doubt in their eyes—an unspoken question of whether you are truly capable, or just a child pretending to wear the crown. Others, however, have no such pretense. They see you as weak, and they are ready to take what’s yours. Every decision you make is weighed down by the knowledge that your enemies are watching, waiting for you to falter. The leaders who once bowed before your parents now eye you like wolves hunting for their next meal. The kingdom is fractured, but you, you must stand firm. You must navigate through the labyrinth of treachery, alliances, and deceit, and try to find the path that will hold it all together. You’ve always been observant. You’ve watched them—your parents. You’ve seen how they maneuvered through the court, how they balanced loyalty and betrayal, how they kept their cards hidden close to their chest. You thought you understood it all. But now, with the weight of a kingdom pressing down on your shoulders, you’re beginning to wonder if you ever truly understood anything.

Proteus' Paradigm and Pandora's Paradox

Three times the universe has begun with a bang, and twice it ended with the stars being devoured by something that does not exist. The third time, however, something that *should not have existed* hijacked the process. 729 eternal proto-stars now orbit the Cornerstone of all Creation, in which sleeps Arius, the Arbiter of the fifteen dimensions Creation exists in, and Nobody; as Guardian of the Non-Euclidean Infinite Archive, existing outside of reality... isolated . Across those fifteen dimensions which the two watch over; preside "Bearers of Sparks," or "Exceptions," empowered by the myriad stars, and metaphysical influence, spread across the multiverse. Beings across all fifteen dimensions are bound by a plethora of things, but first and foremost aside from causality is something called "The First Anomaly," which exists in all dimensions simultaneously. The dimension it is observed in will shift reality in accordance with a number of precepts, which are determined by the second most prominent binding aspect of the Third Cycle: "The Rule of Three." The Rule of Three is the physical formation of a paranormal law of nature, which acts as a causal filtration device. It also has a secondary function, which allows for Exceptions to offset and utilize any amount of energy in flux by bypassing the typical side-effects of thermodynamic energy transfer as we understand it. This is not to be confused for magic, because magic has a cost. This isn't reality bending/warping in the conventional sense either, as it's not bending the whole of reality but a singular aspect in a nigh-infinite multitude of potential ways, with 100% energy efficiency in cost/effectiveness/application which those who are not Exceptions cannot replicate without multiple sponsorships. This story follows an abnormality above anomalies; an Exception among Exceptions, a Transmigrator from the other side of an otherwise impassable wall, by the name of Lee Kühren.

MAIDEN TO MAJESTY

Book description In the opulent world of royalty, a young woman's fate is forever entwined with the palace she serves. Amelia Rosemary Windsor, the illegitimate child of the Windsor family, was abandoned at the family mansion gate at the tender age of two. With fragmented memories of her mother, Amelia grew up under the scornful eye of her stepmother, Georgiana Rose Windsor. At fifteen, Amelia was forced into servitude at the palace, courtesy of her stepmother's scheming. As a palace maid, Amelia was bound to a ten-year contract, effectively banishing her from her family's presence. Four years into her service, Prince Henry Sebastian Montague returns to the palace, fresh from his education abroad. Amelia is assigned as his personal handmaid, but their initial encounter is far from pleasant. The arrogant prince treats her with disdain, and Amelia is forced to endure his cruelty. At the prince's engagement party to Charlotte Elizabeth Windsor, Amelia's stepsister, a drunken Prince Henry issues a command that will change the course of Amelia's life forever. Despite the palace rules dictating obedience to royal orders, Amelia is left reeling from the prince's actions. As the consequences of that fateful night unfold, Amelia finds herself at the center of a royal scandal. With the king and queen informed of her pregnancy, tradition dictates that a royal child must not be born outside the royal home or out of wedlock. The queen, fueled by her friendship with Georgiana, conspires to have the baby aborted, while the king proposes a union between his son and the young maid. As tensions rise, Amelia must navigate the treacherous landscape of palace politics, where her very existence threatens to upend the royal family's reputation. Will she find a way to reclaim her rightful place, or will the forces against her silence her forever?
