His v...

The vows that once saved them are now the knives at their throats.After the sacred wedding that bound their blood and their kingdoms, Prince Adrien and Cael live beneath the unblinking gaze of the Radiant Church—a union praised in daylight and damned in secret. The peace they forged is built on deception, and every heartbeat risks exposing the truth: the groom is not who he seems, and the curse is not yet broken.As the first snows fall over Solmir, whispers of rebellion cre...

"Every vow remakes the world.Every broken heart writes its name into God."The world has begun to crack.The Book of 36 Hearts bleeds words faster than they can be read, and every oath sworn in the name of love now births a miracle—or a monster.Ravel D'Arcen is no longer just a man marked by curse. He is becoming the vessel of the King of Love, the god whose divided heart once cursed humanity to prove their devotion through suffering. Each ritual now burns throu...

Aeren never imagined remaining in the palace after the forbidden vow the emperor spoke for him. As a eunuch, he was raised to obey without question, to exist without identity, and to accept that silence is the only protection a person like him will ever have. He expects punishment or exile, but instead, Emperor Irenus appoints him as Royal Adviser—a position that places Aeren at the emperor's right hand and directly in the line of political fire. Overnight, the court's lowest servant becom...

⚡️Your Soul Called BS: Tanya's Story (A.K.A. Sephara Elion)I didn't choose this path —I was dragged onto it. Bleeding. Crying. Screaming. Praying.And still... I rose.I was born into a world that tried to tell me who I was before I even got the chance to find out.They gave me a name — Tanya Marie Dunn — and a script I was supposed to follow:Be nice.Be quiet.Be useful.Be small.But that script never fit.Ev...

Solferon descends into chaos. The emperor is missing, the Church blames Aeren for the collapse of the Sanctum ritual, and nobles compete for the empty throne. While the kingdom fractures, Aeren faces a truth more destabilizing than exile or betrayal—he was born to be a prince of Lyselle, not a eunuch of Solferon. The life he thought was stolen becomes impossible to ignore when the king of Lyselle declares him the kingdom's rightful successor. In one announcement, Aeren gains everything he ...

"Every love leaves a scar.Every scar remembers who we tried to save."When Ravel D'Arcen, heir to a dying bloodline of royal scribes, inherits a forbidden artifact known as The Book of 36 Hearts, his fate is sealed.The book demands that he complete all thirty-six rituals of love before his twenty-fifth birthday—or his heart will stop beating forever.Desperate to survive, Ravel makes a dangerous deal. He buys the loyal...

Aeren has spent his entire life being trained to disappear. As one of the last eunuchs in the Empire of Solferon, he has no family name, no legal identity, and no right to desire anything—not power, not freedom, and certainly not affection. Eunuchs are considered useful because they cannot produce heirs and therefore pose no threat to the bloodline. They are permitted near the throne precisely because they are expected to be silent. Aeren has accepted that silence as survival. His role is ...

Aeren returns to the palace believing that exposing the conspiracy will protect Irenus's throne. Instead, his return throws the empire into deeper turmoil. He is no longer a shadow who can hide behind silence; everyone now knows the emperor will risk anything for him. Factions within the court see Aeren not as a threat to tradition, but as the leverage required to control the throne. The Church responds first. They unveil an ancient prophecy about "a voice that will reshape destiny"—a prop...

Aeren never intended to leave the empire. After escaping the Church's control and shattering the ritual that should have bound him forever, he and Irenus flee the capital together. Their rebellion leaves the throne fractured, the Church humiliated, and every noble house scrambling to claim power. The empire labels them fugitives. The Church calls Aeren a heretic. The council quietly declares that the emperor is "mentally unfit to rule." Aeren believes that exile, once again, is the price o...

Aeren thought leaving would save the emperor. He believed removing himself from the palace would protect Irenus from scandal, political attack, and the consequences of the forbidden vow. In Solferon, a eunuch who stands too close to a ruler is seen as a danger to the throne, not a person who deserves to stay. Accepting exile, Aeren is escorted to a remote sanctuary known as the Garden of Ashes—an isolated estate where former servants, disgraced nobles, and unwanted witnesses quietly disapp...
