Ash And Misty Kiss

[Discontinued] Crown of Ash and Bonds (Original Version)

Seraphina D’Lorien was raised to lead with grace, bound by duty, and destined to carry on her noble house’s legacy. As the Duchess of House D’Lorien and wife to the ambitious Alaric Vessant, she was meant to be a symbol of stability in a crumbling empire. Instead, she was accused of treason, chained at the pyre, and sentenced to burn. The empire turned its back. Her husband watched in silence. Her cousin Evelyne wept in public, but behind her tears was a smile no one else noticed. And only Evelyne knew that Seraphina was carrying a child. That secret died in the fire. Or so they thought. But Seraphina did not stay dead. She awakens in her chambers, unburned, unbound, and alive. Everything around her is exactly as it was, except now, she remembers everything. The lies. The betrayal. The flame. And the child she never got to protect. With no one aware of what truly happened, Seraphina pretends to resume her former life. But she no longer trusts, no longer hopes, and no longer believes justice will come on its own. By day, she smiles at her husband’s side. By night, she stalks the empire’s shadows, gathering secrets, unraveling documents, and finding cracks in the system that tried to erase her. Her quest leads her to Caelan Vorenthal, the Warden General, an enigmatic, masked warrior with no tolerance for corruption and a past as shadowed as her own. What begins as cautious cooperation becomes something deeper, as Seraphina uncovers a conspiracy stretching back years. Her marriage had been arranged not for love, but as a calculated maneuver. Her family’s fall was no accident. It was orchestrated. Her life, her title, even her pain were all used as leverage in a political game she never agreed to play. And now, she is rewriting the rules. Just as she prepares to move against the court, assassins strike. Seraphina survives, but the message is clear. Someone knows she is no longer a pawn. War brews in the corridors of power, and every ally she gains makes her more of a threat. Through ink, blade, and bloodless subterfuge, Seraphina prepares to dismantle the empire that once watched her burn. One forged document, one ruined house, one false oath at a time. The court believes she has been tamed. But Seraphina D’Lorien is no longer theirs to control. She is the flame reborn, and this time she decides who burns.

Ash-Forged Sovereign

Ash-Forged Sovereign delves into the harrowing journey of Lysander, an ordinary individual from our world who unexpectedly finds himself reborn as a minor, inconsequential noble within the brutal fantasy novel, The Crimson Blade. His new identity, Lysander Thorne, comes with a terrifying caveat: he is merely an 'extra,' destined to die a pathetic, ignoble death during the climactic Siege of Oakhaven, a mere plot device to fuel the true hero's rise. Refusing to accept his preordained demise, Lysander leverages his unique meta-knowledge of the novel's intricate plot, characters, and forgotten lore. Driven by the relentless ambition of an "exiled noble plotting their return," he transforms from a terrified pawn into a cunning mastermind. His first audacious move comes amidst the chaos of the siege, where he strategically manipulates forgotten defenses to orchestrate the catastrophic collapse of the West Gate, obliterating the enemy's main assault and defying his fated end. Having escaped certain death and caused an undeniable ripple in the narrative, Lysander must now navigate the treacherous politics of his new world. He faces the formidable High Commander Valerius, where his sharp intellect and calculated rhetoric are his only weapons. Through sheer cunning, he justifies his insubordinate, yet effective, actions, earning not punishment, but a new, "unconventional" assignment directly under the High Commander's watchful eye. Ash-Forged Sovereign is the tale of a man who was supposed to be a footnote, now forging his own path through fire and strategy. It explores Lysander's relentless drive to reshape his destiny, acquiring both the wits of a true strategist and the tangible powers necessary to become not just a survivor, but a formidable force capable of writing his own legendary tale.

Ashes Of Silence

In June 2025, a devastating plane crash near Hyderabad kills over 500 people. Among the suspected victims is Andhra Pradesh’s Home Minister, Rathnadevi, a formidable woman known for her fierce stance against corruption. But when her body isn't found, questions begin to swirl. In New York, Anushree, an intelligence officer and Rathnadevi's estranged sister, sees the news and returns to India. Media frenzy explodes. But Anushree, sharp and composed, redirects the attention: “Many died. Not just her. Don’t forget them.” As she investigates, Anushree meets Naveen, a quiet aspiring detective from Chennai who insists on helping. A villager’s report changes everything: someone saw Rathnadevi in a forest hours after the crash. The duo follows the trail. They find Rathnadevi alive—hiding in a forest ashram. She admits she skipped the flight to mourn her dead lover, killed years ago by their father’s political ambition. The pass she gave her aide led to the crash—and she’s been silent ever since. Anushree reveals something darker: the crash was orchestrated. Rathnadevi was being targeted. Files exposing aviation corruption were meant to be leaked—files on that very plane. Rathnadevi surrenders. Arrests follow. Truths unravel. At a mass funeral for the unidentified victims, Anushree thanks Naveen for his help. As they sit by the river, she finally asks: “Why did you really come to help?” Naveen hesitates. Then, quietly: “Because my family was on that flight. I just… never told anyone.” She stares at him in silence. Words fail. But sometimes, silence says everything.

The Age of Ash

When kings bleed to feed the gods, power is never inherited—it is earned through fire, blood, and sacrifice. In the frostbound realm of the North, young Ned Stark witnesses the unthinkable: his father, King Alphonse Stark, ritually sacrifices himself before the gods in a sacred feast meant to preserve the land’s divine favor. With the royal blood still warm on the altar, Ned is thrust into a role he never asked for—heir to a crown soaked in prophecy and shadow. But he is not yet king. Not truly. Not until he survives the Rite of Crowning, an ancient trial where the gods judge the worthy—and destroy the weak. Across the sea, in the sun-scorched empire of Tharekh, Princess Aeryla, daughter of fire and royalty, is gifted four ancient dragon eggs on the eve of her forced marriage to the feared warlord, Khal Freygo. Betrayed, widowed, and broken, she walks into fire to die—and is reborn with four living dragons and a hunger for conquest. Kingdom after kingdom falls to her flame. But as her armies approach Westeros, where Ned Stark now rules a fragile North, a greater threat awakens. The Army of the Undead, once buried beneath the icy wastes beyond the world’s edge, begins its march. Led by a deathless king who can raise dragons from the grave, the undead seek not kingdoms—but the extinction of all life. Old enemies must become allies. Prophecies must be fulfilled. Gods will descend, witches will rise, and the fate of mortals will be written in ash. In this world of sacred rituals, divine politics, ancient beasts, and rising horrors, only one truth remains: In the Age of Ash, the gods are watching—and they are hungry.

ash's of trice

"The world didn’t break Trice. It made him." In a world where the strong write the rules and the weak disappear without a name, Trice was born with nothing—not even a last name. Raised in a collapsing slum called The Gray Verge, Trice learned early that justice was a fantasy. His family? Erased in a political massacre the government called "necessary cleansing." The elite called it progress. Trice calls it debt—one the world now owes him. At fifteen, Trice is supposed to be dead. But instead, he returns, scarred, silent, eyes burning with a vengeance too large for his body to hold. From the ashes of forgotten children and ruined dreams, he claws his way into the underground—where gangs rule like kings, and corruption flows thicker than blood. But Trice is different. He doesn’t seek power for power’s sake. He doesn’t want to rule. He wants to ruin. Every family crest that turned a blind eye. Every politician who smiled through the slaughter. Every smiling hero who stood by while monsters wore medals. Along the way, Trice forms fragile bonds with others like him—broken youths with nothing left but rage. A swordsman cursed to forget his kills. A runaway princess who bleeds blue fire. A hacker who can’t leave his apartment but sees everything. Together, they are the Fangs of Nowhere—a blade aimed at the heart of a poisoned empire. But the deeper Trice digs, the more he sees that revenge is no straight line—it spirals. And something darker than men may be behind the suffering. The world didn’t just hurt him... it built him to burn. Now he must choose: Will he be a weapon of revenge? Or a symbol of rebellion?
