Judith Grimes

Usurping the Universe

A high ceiling, adorned with intricate carvings and fanciful decor. A warm golden light passing through stained glass highlighting the beauty of justice and righteous valour- a contrast to the maleficent beings that would often face this light- illuminates the room. Upon a raised dais, there is a displeased king, and by his side, stern-faced nobles and court officials stare down menacingly at the accused. Below these extinguished figures, bounded by chains and covered in grime, was a six-year-old girl. "Ixion Akastos Vespera" "In the presence of our sovereign King and the noble dukes of this great nation, you are summoned to answer for the grave crimes alleged against you. The entire house of Vespera, your family and lineage, has been wrongfully slain by a treacherous prisoner of theirs. We have reason to believe you have conspired with the ungrateful fiend, betraying your own blood and committing treason against our liege. How do you answer? Are you guilty or not guilty of this heinous crime?" "Not guilty." "Not guilty? Very well. You shall-" "I killed them myself. Not the dragon, only I." Murmurs erupted among the usually unperturbed high-class nobles. "Is it not according to law that a bloodline inheritor may kill all other potential heirs? As for my unfortunate mother, she was merely an unintended mishap." °°° Alexandra Chase, among a million others, found herself in a deadly game orchestrated by a supreme goddess to gain access to another world. Unfortunately, her life in this new world won't be any softer than the one before it. Her drive is not only to survive but also to supersede those beings who stand above. The goddess's schemes are far deeper than she could imagine. She is granted talent, unlimited potential, and terrifying attunement to the world itself with her new body, but many geniuses die young. Her most capable weapon is a concept many have yet to fathom- her soul.

The young Master's little prey

BLURB: For refusing to go ahead with a marriage proposal he made between her and a ruthless monster, Robert Wilson disowned his daughter Judith Wilson, stripping her off her birth rights, but what happens when Judy returns to reclaim what is rightfully hers,this time with a stronger back up. What kind of father would impose such fear on his daughter? Judy crouched shivering behind a tree in the woods, cold not just from her damp dress but also from the dread of her chasers. Blood leaked from an ankle wound she had obtained during escape. Her breathing became rapid, damp hair clung to her forehead, mixing tears with the rain. The noise of approaching footsteps was interrupted by gunfire. Gripping her chest, she closed her eyes firmly, stifling her cries as additional tears streamed down. An irate male voice yelled, “I said no shooting; we need her ali…” Before he could complete his sentence, additional gunfire broke out, resulting in three of his men dead on the ground. Understanding the threat, he pulled out his firearm, terror clear on his expression, his eyes widened when he sited his predator —it was the beast himself. Judy's heart pounded as the turmoil subsided, yet she continued to worry about how many wished for her demise. New sounds of footsteps drew closer, heightening her anxiety and forcing her to conceal herself further against the tree. In the shadows, she couldn't see but perceived the figure halt beside her. Her voice quivering, she faltered, urgently begging, “Pleeasss…don't… I...will…” Her terror only enraged him further, he was the only one permitted to make her feel this way. “Rabbit,” he whispered gently, and Judy's eyes grew wide with astonishment, skepticism, and—most importantly —relief.
