They call her the Lifeless Queen. Crowned at seventeen, Empress Priscilla of Calmaria rules with a heart carved from stone and a hand that never trembles. Fear, not love, holds her empire together-and she has no intention of ever showing weakness.
But even gods demand worship.
And her most loyal worshiper is Lucas Darcy, Calmaria's greatest knight. A commoner who rose through blood and battle, he kneels only to her. For the woman who owns his soul, he swore his sword, body, and soul to the Empress who chose him. To the world, he is her blade. To himself, she is his goddess-the only reason he breathes. Lucas will endure pain, humiliation, even death. He is her sword, her shadow, her dog.
But in a world where love is weakness and devotion can be fatal, loyalty is never simple. Lucas is willing to suffer, bleed, and die for a woman who may never return his love. And Priscilla, bound by her throne and her pride, must face the one truth she has always denied: that even the coldest heart can burn.
A story of power and passion, cruelty and devotion-where love itself may be the greatest betrayal. Priscilla must face the one thing she cannot control: a knight's love that could either save her empire... or destroy it.

Chained to The Throne (✔️)
Dark. Possessive. Enchanting. She never believed fate could be this cruel. One day she was just an ordinary woman - independent, bright, and unafraid to speak her mind - and the next, she was bound by the silent command of a man who ruled not only a kingdom, but every heartbeat that dared to defy him. He was a King feared by many - arrogant, ruthless, and dangerously calm. His silence carried more power than any threat, and his gaze was enough to make the strongest men kneel. No one questioned him. No one dared to say no. Until she did. Their marriage wasn't born from love, but from power - a deal wrapped in deceit and sealed by force. She was meant to be his ornament, his queen in name only. But something inside her refused to bend completely. And that defiance, that flicker of fire in her eyes, became the one thing he couldn't control. He told her love was weakness. Yet every time she looked away, his possessiveness deepened. Every time she cried, his anger turned to obsession. He could destroy empires, but not the storm she brought into his heart. Trapped between duty and desire, she learns that every chain he places around her is not just to bind - but to protect. The palace walls whisper secrets, his touch hides unspoken fears, and every night she wonders: is she his prisoner, or his queen? A mysterious, darkly romantic tale of power, betrayal, and a love that blurs the line between dominance and devotion. Because when the King falls for his captive, the kingdom itself trembles. 👑Complete

The Flower Longed Death
Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues.
