Betrayed by the man she loved and bound to a crown that no longer holds meaning, an empress chooses freedom over titles—only to discover that even love forsaken can rise again from ruin. “Even the moon can rise again after being eclipsed by the sun.” “He was of the empire. She became the moon that outshone him.” — Bound by duty. Betrayed by love. Reborn by choice. Elisana Laurel De Claire, daughter of a grand ducal house, was destined to be Empress - and for a time, she believed in the fairytale. Betrothed since childhood to her dearest friend, Crown Prince Marcus, their union was meant to bring peace and glory to the Salastian Empire. But love fades beneath the weight of power. When another woman captures the Emperor's heart, Elisana's world shatters. Neglected, accused, and stripped of affection, she makes a choice no one expects - she walks away from the crown. Years later, when rebellion threatens the empire, fate brings them together once more. This time, Marcus must face the woman he once forsook - not as his Empress, but as his equal. Amid courtly intrigue, forgiveness, and the fragile bloom of second chances, The Forsaken Empress tells a story of heartbreak and healing - where even the moon can rise again after the darkest night.

"What does duty mean to you?" Shackled by the Empire's last flickering breath, the Princess is smitten by a hotshot rookie commander. Duty-bound, both of them learn to lead . . . together, or apart. ✧ Lay down the humble crown, fight the war and kill the dove. The Old Golems only frown upon the ones who cannot love. ✧ Princess May thought the crown never fit her - she was too clumsy, too frail, too immature. But when a traitor kidnaps her only sister, she must leave the polished palace and chase a spy through the Empire's darkest shadows. Yjennka forged the start of his legendary military career, catching royal attention like a crack of thunder. Rising through the ranks, the Princess took him in as a top-tier bodyguard. But behind the accolades and Guard status, he must carry the weight of every soul lost under his command. With secrets, scars, and the spy hunt unravelled, the duo's paths intertwine. Together, they'll learn how leadership binds them together - or tears them apart . . . --- A low fantasy story set in an alternative medieval-gunpowder mix era. Slow burn romance, court thriller mystery, existential philosophy, military strategy, and just good ol' fantasy action/slice of life. Trigger warnings of violence, warfare, moral ambiguity, heavy romance.

In the year 3999, Crystallphaos shines like a beacon of magic and technology — yet beneath its surface, fears and prophecies simmer. A group of young adventurers — the silent Prometheus, the spirited Hitomi, the fearless Brek, the sharp-eyed archer Laima, and the enigmatic Noctua — are drawn into a mission that seems impossible: to cross the Shadow Ravine, a place from which few have ever returned. Their journey becomes a nightmare filled with battles, demons, and haunting visions. Prometheus faces revelations about a destiny he cannot escape, learning to draw strength not only from crystals, but from his companions themselves. The team’s bond is tested, as the line between life and death grows dangerously thin. But the end of the mission is not the end of the story — it’s only the beginning. Because behind the battles and sacrifices lies something greater: a soul that arrived in a world starved for light and hope, to herald the dawn of a new era. And yet, every light casts shadows — and those shadows are waiting for their moment to rise.

Akio was just a kid when the sky tore open and stole everything from him. Now, years later, the world praises the gates for their "miracles", but behind those glowing doors are bloodthirsty monsters, corrupted leaders, and secrets no one dares to speak aloud. When Akio discovers a gate and the truth behind his mother's death, he's forced into a fight far bigger than himself. Alongside a sarcastic clone wielder, a time bending fighter, and a mind hacker Akio sets out to unravel the gates' true purpose. But as past trauma claws its way into the present, and enemies blur the line between friend and monster, Akio will have to face one impossible question: What do you do when saving the world means destroying the peace it was built on?
