In a gilded cage, the most dangerous weapon is the truth she can’t remember. Aveline Whitmore(Blanco) has the perfect life: a luxurious home, a powerful husband, and a future wrapped in silk and lies. But when a single keycard falls from her husband’s coat , the facade shatters. Haunted by flashes of a past she doesn’t recognize and trapped in a marriage that feels more like an cage, Ave digs deeper. She discovers a photograph of her mother wrapped in the arms of her husband, a secret safe holding a passport in a name she’s never known, and a therapist who reports her every word back to the man she sleeps beside. Ave isn’t who she thinks she is. There’s more to just she being Ave , more like a dormant asset codenamed Reaper, trained by a mother who vanished and pawned in a shadow war for an underworld throne. To survive, she must outsmart the husband who watches her every move, decode the clues left by a brother she can’t remember, and navigate a deadly game of succession where she is both the prize and the player. But awakening the Reaper comes at a cost. The past is a weapon, and her memories are a trap, and the only way out is to become the monster they made her......or die as the wife they designed.

In the ancient kingdom of Vaelis, the crown is heavy, the court is a nest of knives, and the people worship stories more than truth. But behind the throne, in the quiet spaces between smiles and proclamations, a different kind of power is being forged. Lord Cassian Vael is the kingdom’s golden prince — brilliant, kind, and impossibly wise. To the king, he is the only advisor who speaks reason. To the princess, he is the first man who ever truly saw her. To the junior prince, he is the brother he never had. To the world, he is a rare soul: a man who rules not with cruelty, but with calm, with philosophy, with love. But Cassian is not a man of love. He is a man of control. Born with a mind like a scalpel and a heart that does not beat, he sees the world as it truly is: a machine of desire, fear, and lies. He knows that loyalty is conditional, that kindness is the sharpest weapon, and that love is the most perfect form of ownership. And he has spent his life mastering the art of wearing masks so flawlessly that even those who trust him most cannot see the monster beneath. He does not want the throne. He wants to become the truth the kingdom believes in. As famine, war, and rebellion tear Vaelis apart, Cassian moves like a shadow through the palace, shaping crises, breaking wills, and turning even the purest hearts into his puppets. The princess, who loves him with her whole soul, becomes his most beautiful lie. The junior prince, who worships him as a brother, becomes his most loyal blade. The king, who trusts him above all others, becomes his most broken tool. But in a world built on lies, even the liar is not safe. As the princess begins to see cracks in his mask, as the junior prince questions the cost of brotherhood, and as the kingdom starts to whisper of a truth that does not come from the throne, Cassian must decide: how far is he willing to go to remain the only truth in Vaelis? *The Only Truth in Vaelis* is a dark, philosophical epic of power, psychology, and royalty — a story where the greatest crime is not murder, but making someone believe in a lie so perfectly that they thank you for it. It is the rise of a man who does not conquer the world, but reshapes it into his own image, one smile, one word, one perfect lie at a time.

In his previous life, James was an overworked corporate drone who died of stress at his desk. His dying wish was simple: if there is a next life, let it be boring. Let it be quiet. Let it be absolutely, undeniably carefree. The universe heard him, laughed, and reincarnated him as Peregrine Henry Wellington, the Crown Prince and sole heir to the sprawling, industrial nightmare known as the Iron-Blood Empire.

"Even in the face of death, you still can't look at me. That expression of yours would never be mine." It was a dark novel in which the son died at the hands of the male lead, and even the female lead couldn't do anything to save the Emperor. She couldn't heal him. Her innocence, kindness, justice, and love, and the concern she portrayed were viewed as pure annoyance. The villainous Emperor was a tyrant through and through. Unsavable until death. "I'm a child?" "Hahaha!" The smile on her face faded as she shook her head lifelessly, staring at her window. You see, she is not your kind of transmigrator that is kind to children and would change her son's fate and behavior. She was worse. "I will continue scheming in the shadows, ensuring you'll have a smoother ruling. In exchange, let us not meet often." "Then I will hold the Silence Ceremony in the highest respect for all your hard work, Mother." This kid curses me to death before I should enter my coffin. A little massive red flag. He's mad. No, all of them are mad.

“Mr. Damian, reports from the Saffron City incident say that under your command, Team Rocket defeated Champions such as Lance, Steven, Wallace, and Leon, putting them in the hospital for half a month. How do you feel about that?” “That’s nonsense. They were only out for a week,” Damian replies calmly. “It’s also said that during that battle, you forcibly abducted Champion Cynthia. The people of Sinnoh are furious and demand you return their Champion. How do you respond?” “Ridiculous. We’re very much in love—their objections are what’s out of line,” Damian says with a pleasant smile. “Oh, and Cynthia is currently pregnant, so she won’t be considering a return as Sinnoh’s Champion for the time being. Thank you.” World Setting: A fusion of the games, anime, and Adventures manga. Giovanni’s characterization draws from both the games and the Adventures manga.

SW Legends + Canon AU ____ Alex was a software dev by day and a gamer by night, until he woke up in a galaxy far, far away. He was stuck in the scrawny seven-year-old body of Ezra Bridger, right after the Empire arrested his parents for being rebels. Talk about terrible respawn timing. Now he's trapped on Lothal, starving, powerless, and eight long years away from the Ghost crew ever showing up. Meanwhile, Darth Sidious and Vader are out there collecting skulls, and Alex knows exactly how short the average lifespan of Force-sensitives can be. Running for the rest of his life? No thanks. He refuses to be just another street rat scrambling to survive in his second chance. If he was going to be a space wizard, he was going to be the strongest one. Period. His pursuit of power led him to a single, forbidden question: one that the Jedi and Sith alike would kill to bury forever. What if midi-chlorians (the very things that connect everyone to the Force) could be extracted, stolen, ripped from another's body and made your own? Some people call that heresy. He calls it survival, and maybe, if he plays this right, something a whole lot more. Because why settle for your birthright when you can absorb someone else's. ____ VOLUME 1: The Prequel is completed.

I wanted to really read one fanfic where Ezra is the MC, and so I ended up writing one instead.

The world is an mix of OG Star Wars, Disney Continuity (Other than those god-forsaken sequels I refuse to accept as canon) and LEGEND Continuity.

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique evolution to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

WARNING!!! -Explicit and Dark Romance- For years after Livana lost her sight, she lived in the gilded cage of her family’s expectations—engaged to the man chosen for her, confined to the shadows while he managed the empire her mother left behind. But blindness didn’t make her powerless. She heard everything. The whispers in the other room. The treachery in her fiancé’s voice. The betrayal woven into every conversation with her cousin, all caught by the devices she secretly planted. She had a plan to escape—one she’d crafted meticulously. Until her sister proposed something far more dangerous. Involve the Blackwells. Their family’s most hated rivals. The ones Livana had been raised to despise. And the man her sister suggested? *Damon Blackwell.* The arrogant bastard who had tormented her since childhood. The same man she’d once—*against her better judgment*—ended up in bed with after being drugged and set up. The idea was reckless. Madness. But the thought of burning her engagement to Knox to the ground, of watching her father and stepmother’s fury as she tied herself to their enemy? Delicious. What she didn’t expect was Damon’s obsession. He was ruthless. Unhinged. Exactly what she should have anticipated from the heir to the Blackwell mafia. But Livana was no damsel. If he thought he could control her, he was wrong. She had her own games to play. And this time, she wouldn’t be the one losing.
