the last ember

The Last Embers In a kingdom where fire-magic was hunted to extinction, the last thing anyone expects is a stablehand carrying its spark. Darian Solace has lived his whole life in the shadows of the royal stables—quiet, unnoticed, and certain he will never matter. But when a dying knight presses a sealed letter into his hands, Darian is thrust into a perilous journey across kingdoms. The letter carries a warning that could prevent a war, but it also makes Darian the target of assassins, mercenaries, and the dark sorcery of Archon Veyric, the king’s most trusted advisor. On the run with Princess Serenya Valebright, disguised and determined to save her people, Darian discovers a truth long buried: he is the last heir of the Emberborn, a bloodline cursed and hunted for centuries. His fire is unstable—capable of both salvation and destruction—and every choice he makes risks burning the world he’s sworn to protect. As war between shadow and flame looms, Darian must decide what it means to be the last ember of a fallen people: a dying spark destined to fade… or the flame that will ignite a new dawn.

I Just Wanted A Soft Life, Not A Demon Husband

Death by overwork? Check. Isekai’d into a glittery kingdom called Aelthryndivoryssalindria, yes, that's the name but I call it Aelthryn, because who has time for that? Double check. All I wanted was a soft life filled with pastries, naps, and no husband. But five years into my new life as Princess Elyndravyssorathielindria Sylvarindelthys—Elyn, please, God knows why the names are so difficult to pronounce—my father demands I marry. But explain to me why all the potential suitors look like they were picked up from the fucking gutter? I kid you not. one of them literally suggested teaching me to ride a horse and guess who found out he could not ride one at all and at the end of the day cried begging for his mother...me. And that's just one. There's also the fact that I don't want to even get married. So in a panic, after scaring my suitors away, I tell my father I'm in love with Zorathys Vaelkyrion. What I didn't plan for was the fact that Zorathys is real, he’s at our annual ball, and he’s calling me his lover to settle Dad’s debts. Now I’m stuck in the Underworld, managing Hell’s paperwork, babysitting demon nobles, and dodging a giant snake with a sweet tooth. Oh, and Zor? A lazy, body-pillow-hugging tease who makes my heart race. Worse, every escape portal dumps me in his bedroom, and he’s not so bad. But when I stumble into a plot to overthrow him, my soft-life dreams might cost me everything—unless I fight for the husband I never wanted. Send help please, I just wanted a soft life and not a demon husband.. --------------------- "...you can't marry my daughter," my father said to the demon king and I nodded. "...she...she's gay. Yes," he said with a nod like that was the most reasonable explanation ever. "She's into girls." I was shocked and stared at him then back at the demon king who paused. Maybe this could work after all. I nodded too, supporting my father's words. The demon king smiled then. "What good taste you have, there's a reason why we belong to each other after all. I'm into women too." What?
