BOOK ONE OF THE “RECLAIMING HER FATE” SERIES “Wealth, crown, wild, and heart. Together they rise, or together they fall.” Heiress of the First Werewolf Kingdom, Aveloria Valenor was betrayed, rejected, and slain in her first life. Reborn by the Moon Goddess, she vows to change her fate, only to discover she has not just one mate, but four: the one who once doomed her, the one whose power could save her, the one who tempts her freedom, and the one who has always loved her. Bound by prophecy, hunted by dark shadows, Aveloria must either choose to unite her Tetrabond or see the world consumed by darkness. EXCERPT He groaned against her lips, a low growl that sent shivers down her spine, and she kissed him back with equal fire, matching his rhythm and hunger. Their breaths tangle, shallow and uneven. His large hand grabbed her neck, tilting her head up as he deepened the kiss, causing her pulse to race beneath his touch and her body to ache for his. When they finally parted, Aveloria’s breath trembled. Their foreheads rested together, breathing ragged and lips swollen. Neither spoke. Words would have ruined it, that wild, reckless pull that said they were already too far gone. She looked at him, the one who had saved her, the one who shouldn’t have been hers, and for a moment, everything made sense. But the guilt came next to the reality. She stepped back, her heart racing. “I have to tell you something.” His expression shifted. “What is it?” “There are others.” “Others?” “Mates,” she said quietly. “Three.” He froze. “You’re serious?” She nodded. “I didn’t choose them. It just happened.” He exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. “I thought those were just rumors. No one believed it.” “I wish they were.” His jaw tightened, but he laughed softly, shaking his head. “Of course. The Moon gives me a mate; she already has three others. That sounds about right for my luck.” Aveloria swallowed, guilt pressing at her chest. “I didn’t mean for this to happen.” He looked at her again, calmer this time. “Neither did I.”

In a world of glittering skyscrapers and cold-blooded ambition, Ruby Dior is a woman living on the edge of a secret. Four years ago, she sold a night of her life to the powerful Boron family to save her dying mother. She emerged with her soul intact but her world forever changed, raising her daughter, Mira, in the quiet shadows of the city. The illusion of safety shatters when Ruby is forced into the "Perfect Bride" competition—a twisted pageant designed by the Boron patriarch, Silas, to find a woman worthy of his dynasty. But the stakes are higher than a title: Ruby discovers that her son, Leo, whom she was told died at birth, is alive and being raised as a cold corporate heir within the Boron walls. As Silas decrees that his multi-billion-dollar empire will only be inherited by the son who successfully weds Ruby, she becomes the most hunted woman in the city.

Standing against the Boron tide is Karan Doe, a man of mystery and immense power who claims to be Ruby's true protector. Yet, even his sanctuary has strings attached. When Ruby realizes that she is being treated as a prize by both sides, she makes a choice that shocks the elite: she walks away from the penthouses and the power plays. Now living a "normal" life in a cramped apartment with her friend Ivy, Ruby works as a dance tutor, determined to raise her twins on her own terms. But with a lethal tracking chip still embedded in her neck and the Boron princess, Zara, using Karan’s own sister as a pawn to manipulate her way into Ruby’s inner circle, the peace is a fragile lie.

In the battle for the Boron crown, Ruby Dior is the only player who knows that the most powerful thing in the room isn't money—it's the truth.

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Or will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Han scrapes a desperate existence from the trash heaps at the edge of a world where magic is harvested from monstrous beasts and sold by corporate titans like Dawn Enterprise. When he’s caught trespassing, he’s offered a way out: sign a contract to be the fifth member of a legendary hunting party for 20 missions, and earn an "armament"—a magical artifact that grants the powerless a chance to rise. Blinded by hope and illiteracy, Han signs. He soon learns his party is a farce. His teammates are powerful, resentful professionals, and their leader, the radiant and cruel Third Light, treats them all as disposable props. The hunts are not for glory, but for gathering specific, rare beast shards. As Han endures mockery, terror, and near-death, he realizes he isn't a hunter. He’s the pack mule, carrying the components of a ritual he cannot comprehend. When the ritual is complete, it rips open a path to a forgotten castle, the prison of Azeru, the Sacred Soul Beast—a majestic, ancient dragon bound not by chains, but by his own unbreakable oaths. Han’s contract was never for an armament. It was a bill of sale. He is the "willing slave" delivered to Azeru in exchange for one of the dragon’s sacred scales. Abandoned by Third Light, Han expects a fate worse than death. Instead, he finds not a monster, but a lonely, principled sovereign. Azeru, who despises humanity’s cruelty, shows Han a devastating kindness, reshaping his own divine form to accommodate his frightened, mortal "guest." In Azeru’s gilded cage, Han learns the true history of power: of fallen kingdoms, of the avarice of Third Light’s father, the entity called Daystar, and of a duty so heavy it can paralyze a god. When the time comes for Azeru to pay his debt, he does not give Han up. Instead, he bequeaths to him the last relic of the kingdom he once served: The King's Crown. It is not an armament of brute force, but one of sovereign will and soul-deep authority, a fragment of a lost age's majesty now fused with Han's own desperate spirit. With the Crown burning on his brow and a dragon's bittersweet farewell at his back, Han steps back into the world. His goal is no longer survival, but revenge. He will hunt the hunters. He will make Third Light and the shadowy Dawn Enterprise answer for the lives they commodified. But the Crown is a beacon. In a world where power is the only currency, a treasure that once commanded kingdoms draws every predator, mercenary, and hidden power from the shadows. As Han stalks his prey, greater hunters begin to stalk him. He must learn to wield a crown meant for kings while living like a fugitive, navigating a web of ancient grudges and fresh betrayals, where every ally might covet the power on his head.

In the smog-choked streets of a 190X-era colonial city, where steam engines rumble and cultivators refine deadly steam essence, a forbidden plague unleashes hell. The Corrupted Dao Virus twists qi meridians into mechanical nightmares, transforming proud practitioners into steam-leaking zombies that hunger for spiritual energy and spread chaos. Halen Wang, a dedicated imperial investigator armed with piston-driven combat techniques and unbreakable resolve, finds himself at the heart of the outbreak. Starting as a rookie with basic Brass Gear Realm skills, he fights through hordes of gear-mutated undead, overclocks his body to the limit, and pushes his Steam Dao toward unprecedented heights to survive and uncover the truth. When he reluctantly teams up with Rose Mei, a cunning spy with partial immunity to the virus and secrets darker than the plague itself, their alliance is forged in blood and betrayal. Rose offers vital intel and deadly poison qi support, but her hidden motives keep Halen on edge—trust her, or risk becoming another pawn? Lurking behind it all is Fang Hedi, a ruthless genius who views the outbreak as the path to godhood. With corrupted boilers granting him infinite power and regeneration, he manipulates events from the shadows, turning the city into his twisted laboratory. As the apocalypse engulfs the world, Halen must master forbidden upgrades, forge uneasy alliances, and face overwhelming odds. In a realm where weakness means death and power demands sacrifice, one man rises from the ashes of a fallen era to stop the plague—or become its ultimate weapon. Survival is no longer enough. Evolution is coming... and it won't ask permission.
