Gambit Meets Rogue

Royal Games: The Villainess’s Gambit

“Why did you run away from me?” Avery’s breath caught in her throat. That voice—it was familiar. She looked up, her heart pounding, her eyes narrowing as her mind pieced it together. With shaking hands, she reached up and pulled the mask from his face. Prince Adrian’s sharp features were illuminated in the soft glow of the moonlight. His expression was unreadable, but his intense gaze bore into her, searching for answers. Avery gasped, taking a step back. “Prince Adrian…” she stammered. “I—” “You ran,” he interrupted softly, his voice calm but filled with an undercurrent of emotion she hadn’t expected. “You rejected me and fled. Why?” Avery looked into his eyes, her mind racing. The prince, the very same character she had written to be cold, calculating, and utterly uninterested in Celeste, was now standing before her, asking why she had run away from him. Her thoughts were in chaos. None of this made sense. How could he feel this way about her? Celeste was never meant to be his choice. It was supposed to be Evelisse. *** After the successful debut of her bestselling book, Avery Clarke faced a tragic death that transmigrated her into one of the characters of her book. Was she the protagonist or the heroine of the novel? Hell, no. Avery was none other than the villainess, Lady Celeste Duvernay. However, there’s a twist. Prince Adrian, who was supposed to marry the love of his life, Evelisse while Celeste suffered them, broke off his engagement with Evelisse and announced his proposal to marry Celeste instead.  Avery didn’t want to accept that fate but she had no choice, the game of royalty was so strong to escape. With a new resolution, Avery made her own choice… she would marry prince Adrian but what was her goal… to make him hate her like he did in the book and reconcile with his betrothed love, Evelisse.

The Oracle's Gambit

The Oracle's Gambit When the ancient city of Aedrion fell, Alexa Thorne became one of the hunted. Chased by the ruthless enforcers of the Dominion, she clings to a mysterious pendant—a relic her late mother entrusted to her with only one cryptic warning: “This is your light in the darkness.” But the pendant is more than a family heirloom. It hums with ancient power, pulls her toward forgotten places, and unlocks secrets long buried beneath the ruins of a broken world. When Alexa discovers the shattered remains of an oracle, she learns of a fate darker than she imagined—a looming threat known only as The Unmaker, a force that could unravel the fabric of reality itself. Bound by prophecy and pursued by enemies on all sides, Alexa is thrust into a deadly gambit of ancient powers, forbidden magic, and warring factions. Along the way, she must form uneasy alliances, including with a rogue guide who has his own hidden motives, and navigate a treacherous world of shadowy beasts, crumbling empires, and cryptic prophecies. The fate of countless lives depends on Alexa’s ability to uncover the truth behind the Weaver’s Blade, a legendary artifact said to control the threads of destiny. But every decision comes with a price, and the line between savior and destroyer grows ever thinner. In a world where trust is a gamble and failure means annihilation, Alexa must rise from hunted prey to a force capable of confronting destiny itself.
