Elaine Astoria was meant to be a footnote in her own story. The tragic princess. The betrayed noblewoman. The girl whose heartbreak would pave the way for a better ending—just not hers. But in a daring act of defiance, Elaine rewrote the rules. Literally. After unraveling the fatalistic control of the Reversal Cult and rejecting the tyrannical “plot” that demanded her suffering, Elaine seized ownership of her story. Alongside Lior—the former secondary male lead turned devoted husband—she brought the cycle of doomed narratives to an end. The stars even changed shape in celebration, rearranging into a spiral: an emblem of endless possibility and forward motion. Their once-doomed castle became a place of laughter, growth, and healing. For the first time, Elaine believed she had reached her true ending. But stories, especially ones that rebel against their authors, never end that easily.

King of Knives

“In Varentis, trust is a luxury. Mercy is a weakness. And a knife solves more problems than gold ever could.” Darian Valcoris once had a name that mattered. Now he’s just another body in the pit, bleeding for coin, surrounded by criminals, watched by nobles who forgot his face. Broken, betrayed, and one mistake from death, Darian claws his way through the underworld of Varentis, a mountain metropolis built on secrets, steel, and blood, which serves as one of the three Palatinates of the Empire. But Darian isn’t here to survive. He’s here to take everything. From the gutters to the noble quarter, he’ll rise, through pit fights, heists, street wars, and whispered conspiracies. Alongside a crew of dangerous misfits, Darian plays a game that no one expects him to win. Because they don’t know who he's willing to become. Welcome to the Empire of Newfyre.
