    When Emily and her husband move into a mansion on Inwood Hill, she expects a quiet new beginning. The house was once a "reformation home" for troubled women. But the women weren't reformed. They were silenced. As she digs deeper, she begins to see them-glimpses of former performers in feathered headdresses and Vaudeville makeup, dancing between the walls, whispering warnings through the wallpaper. The past isn't haunting her. It's recruiting her. When the glamour and violence of the mansion's hidden history bleed into the present, she must uncover what happened to the women locked here before her... before the house decides she belongs to it too. A dark, atmospheric psychological horror blending feminist revenge, burlesque allure, and the ghosts of Vaudeville. Everything in this house was designed to correct her. But she wasn't built to be corrected.

She wakes up at the edge of a steep cliff beside Zhang Li Yue, the Empress of the Feng Empire, who has just been killed by Xi Liu Ri, the Chief Consort of the imperial harem. Shocked to find herself on a dangerous cliff, Mei Li Yue is even more startled to discover that the lifeless Empress lying beside her has the exact same face as hers. Mei Li Yue quickly realizes she has travelled to the past. The woman's elaborate ancient clothing, the dense forest of towering trees with exposed roots, and the presence of an important-looking corpse all tell her that she is no longer in her own time. When she encounters the Empress's spirit, Mei Li Yue is asked to take her place as the Empress of the Feng Empire and avenge her death as well as the death of her younger sibling. Filled with fury after hearing Zhang Li Yue's story, Mei Li Yue vows to take revenge not only on the ones who murdered the Empress and her sister, but also on the people who once humiliated her.

How will Mei Li Yue's journey unfold as she takes the Empress's identity and seeks vengeance for Zhang Li Yue and her sister? And what awaits her when she finally crosses paths with the ruler of the Feng Empire?

But love in the imperial court is never simple. Jealous rivals watch from the shadows. Power-hungry nobles whisper in dark corners.

    A sudden tragedy cast him back to 12th-century Canaan. "O Lord, have mercy upon this lost child, open his sealed lips..." In his ears, an ancient tongue he never knew; before his eyes, a mother weeping in despair. "People excel at gilding the truth. If I were as the legends say, how could I have fallen so low?" He knows the tides of history but remains powerless to turn them. To be hailed as the "Vicar of God" is nothing but a cruel irony. "How can you be so sure your God hasn't abandoned you?" Amidst the ravaging flames of war and the death of those he cherished, what choice remains? To flee as an exile, or to end it all? "Lord Samuel, do not weep...for you have done it. You protected Sarah and Rovana." The Lord said: If the world holds ten measures of beauty, nine belong to Jerusalem. "I bury my prayers within a dream-a place of blooming flowers,endless skies, and only you and I." The world said:If the world holds ten measures of sorrow,nine belong to Jerusalem. "You Christian warriors,slaughtering in the name of God! Every city,every inch of land, every river you crossed is choked with fire and calamity! And now you ask for my forgiveness? By what right!" No one knew that he,who shared a name with the Divine, was but a man.Does God truly exist? "Knowing he was already counting down to his demise,I could not help but forge a bond with him." When the proud King chose forgiveness, carrying their shared glory back to their true sanctuary, he saw at the end of all things: the triumph of a hero. "God has witnessed my fate." As one dynasty fell,another rose.A sanctuary where any soul could freely enter the Holy City-that was the true face of Jerusalem. "The gates of Jerusalem shall forever remain open to all pilgrims." Using cold reason as a blade to sever the chains of history,and burning love to forge an eternal dreamland. "Let us go home,little Samuel." A flower of hope blooming in despair-the rhapsody of one who is both an unnamed shadow and the ultimate chronicler.

    I died and woke up as Cryselle Argentum, a princess whose fate I already knew too well. This world was not unfamiliar to me. It was the setting of a novel I had once read, a tragic story where a neglected child grows into a misunderstood scholar and meets her end at the hands of her own father. Knowing that future, I resolved to survive by doing the opposite of what the story demanded. I would stay quiet, stay small, and stay out of sight. But the world did not allow me to remain unseen. I met Silas Argentum, my father, far earlier than I was ever meant to, and every interaction felt like walking on thin ice. Was he dangerous? Yes. Was he cruel? Perhaps. But he was also attentive in ways the novel never described. So tell me, if fate has already been written, what happens when the person meant to die decides to rewrite the story herself?

But will she be able to face the pain, manipulation, loneliness and mind games that are coming for her? NOTE: This story is situated in 1800- 1900 year timeline. There is mention of child marriage, violence, domestic violence, and murder involved. hi! Im .................... but u guys can call me Dreamerwrites or DW. this is my first time writing a book. Honestly i have always wanted to write a book with the fmc as the core character. With this book i want to portray the life of many women both in the generation and many before us. The older generations of women faced problems more prominently and society didnt think of it as a threat. Women now face these problems alot as well and many are usually afraid to voice out their feelings. I dont mean to offend anyone through this book. i just want to be the voice of the women unheard and give courage to those reading my book to stand up for their life, by relating real life problems/ situations in this fiction book. This story is completely fictional and does not involve any real individual personally. I hope you enjoy my book!! Thank you <3.

    Rome is about to fall. But not in the way you think. Forget the legions. Carthage's deadliest weapon is Saphanbaal, Hannibal's younger sister - a master of whispers, lies, and unseen control. Operating under a Roman alias, she infiltrates the heart of the Republic, pulling strings in the Senate, twisting public opinion, and turning Roman against Roman. As the drums of the Second Punic War grow louder, Saphanbaal's shadow network ignites riots, sparks scandals, and weaponizes the very fabric of Roman society. But a young, idealistic Tribune, Marcus Valerius Flaccus, is beginning to connect the dots, unraveling a conspiracy that could shake Rome to its foundations. The Carthaginian Candidate is a pulse-pounding historical thriller that asks: How far would you go to save your people? And can a society survive when truth itself becomes a weapon? Uncover the secrets of ancient espionage, where every whispered rumor is a bullet, and every alliance is a potential betrayal.

    What if one girl could rewrite the Mahabharat? Sixteen years ago, the kingdom of Kalinga was wiped out in one night. The royal heir disappeared. Everyone said she died. They lied. Asha has spent her whole life feeling out of place-mysterious dreams, a strange birthmark, and a necklace she can't take off. When a hidden scroll reveals her true name, her entire world shatters. She is Aarini. The lost princess. The girl a hundred enemies are searching for. And the first one to find her is not an assassin... It's Vyren-a cold, brilliant, infuriatingly calm strategist from Hastinapur. A boy who speaks in logic, fights in silence, and looks at her like he's solving a puzzle no one else can see. He claims he's here to protect her. He swears she's in danger. He refuses to leave her side. But Vyren also has secrets-dangerous ones. The kind that could break kingdoms. As old prophecies rise, ancient creatures hunt the forests, and forgotten enemies close in, Asha is forced into a world she never knew was hers. A world where her bloodline is a weapon... and her survival could stop a war. He says she's the last hope. She thinks he's lying. And yet- when the darkness comes for her, Vyren is the one who stands in front of it. A lost princess. A strategist with a guarded heart. A destiny written long before they were born. This is not the story she was meant to live- it's the one she was never supposed to survive.
