Fifty years after the cataclysmic Second Jewel War, the Land of Spade has flourished under the legacy of Kaipo Kasumi, its once-fractured realms now united in an era of peace. But peace is a double-edged sword, for in the shadows of tranquility, a new and insidious evil stirs—one that threatens to unravel everything the heroes of old fought for. As dark forces emerge from the cracks of a fragile peace, the next generation of mages must rise to confront an adversary unlike any before. Will they uphold the legacy of their predecessors, or will the weight of history crush them? The fate of five universes rests in their hands, and their journey will test not only their power but the very essence of who they are.PS: If you haven't read previous series of The Land of Spade, it's totally fine! You don't have to be caught up and can read this as a totally new story, because that's what it is!

Prologue

A woman shatters the silence in the night with a bloodcurdling scream that awakens Tre. At first, he shutters and pulls the covers over his head, praying that whatever he heard was a figment of his imagination. After a few moments of heavy breathing, he hears the sound of the woman again, shrieking as if she’s been torn apart piece by piece. Tre begins to breathe faster and harder as each second passes. Underneath his legs, he feels the wet sheets soak in urine; the putrid smell enters his nostrils. He waits, terrified, whimpering like a prey cornered by its predator. The woman lets out one more screech, but this time cut off, followed by a thud and an eerie silence.

Tre stayed hidden for a time, listening and hearing nothing. He doesn’t hear any movement, no creaks from the weight of an intruder on the floorboards, no more screaming or even the slightest hint of life on the other side of the door, absolutely nothing. He waits a little longer and then begins to lower the covers from over his head. All of a sudden, blue and red lights start flashing, getting brighter and brighter as each second passes. He takes the covers off and swings his legs over the side of the bed, trying to quietly place his right foot and then his left on the wooden floor. Tre begins to put all his weight on the wooden floor, and it starts to creak as he takes each step toward his bedroom door.

Once he reaches the door, he leans in; his ear rests on the wooden surface and listens for anything, indicating life on the other side. Tre hears nothing, so he opens the door and pokes his head out before entering the hallway. He finds a bloody handprint to the right of his door that is smeared and leads around the corner to his parent’s bedroom. Before going around the corner, he waits a few moments before passing the hallway to the kitchen. He looks on both sides of the wall and sees a trail of blood leading into their bedroom.

As Tre passes the kitchen, he can see a police cruiser and its light flashing in his driveway. He wants to run out and get the police officer but instead decides against it. The boy makes his way into the vicinity outside of his parent’s bedroom and sees the door slightly ajar with blood smeared on the door handle. His instinct is to call for his parents, “Mom… Dad…” Neither of them answered. “Mom… Dad… Are you okay?” The gut feeling Tre had was gravitating toward the worst possible explanation imaginable. After not receiving a response again, he begins to cry as he steps closer and closer to their room. “Please, answer me.” He goes to push the door open and jumps as he hears the sound of hard knocking at his front door. “This is Officer James. We received a 911 call from this address. Is there anyone home?” Tre doesn’t answer, and he can’t answer. He’s stricken with fear.

The officer knocks again, “If you don’t answer, I’ll be forced to enter the premises. Is there anyone…” Tre’s attention gets pulled away as he hears a snarling behind him. He becomes paralyzed, refusing to turn around and confront what lies behind him.

"How can I trust you?"

"You'll have to learn."

Isabella Magaroth was just a child when her new family arrived, though her tale was quite different than anyone could've ever imagined. Four years after her father's death, Isabella encountered the prince of the lands, Blake, and forced herself to shy away despite him clearly being interested in her health.

In every tale, she had been made a maid, but in this tale, cruel unspeakable things happened in her household, and Blake vowed to his father that he would get her out at the right time; for if it was even a minute later, Isabella would've been murdered.

The moment Ella followed Blake into the forest, she wandered into a new world that—even in the medieval times—was considered unreal; a world of witches and angels, magic and sorcery, and Prince Blake was the center of it all.

For she had fallen for one of the fallen.

She is my obsession.

This isn't a normal love story, Sweetheart. The girl's no spitfire, the man's no saint.

We are both villains.

She is my obsession; I am hers.

I know my princess hates that prince, I know she will flee that castle.

I know she will follow me, and once she enters these woods...

She's mine.

*****

This isn't a normal fantasy romance. This is a story of a princess who happens to be a murderer, but all her murders are blamed on one man.

THE MAN IN THE MASK.

Any normal person would fear him, but not Alice. Alice happens to be intrigued by him... and she knows he's not so innocent either.

For he is also a murderer.

An obsession is what she has, but she knows her obsession isn't one-sided. For he had been watching her for some time now.

And little did she know, that he had claimed her as his own.

*****this is my own original work, please do not plagiarize****

***** this is part of The Crush Saga but is a side novel, this can be read whenever with or without reading The Crush Saga, although Elias and Alice's story is continued in The Crush Saga***

Arthur is a noble-born reincarnator searching for absolute immortality to avoid the terrifying fate he witnessed in the afterlife. Thanks to a failed spell designed by an unimaginative ancestor, he is able to glimpse a path leading toward immortality while laying the foundations to become the world's first necromancer. However, magic in the world of Nithe is as brutal and complex as the world itself.

Although Arthur would like nothing more than to focus his efforts on advancing his goals, the circumstances of his birth compel him to be an active participant in the world's happenings regardless of his desires. With death hanging around every corner, to attain absolute immortality, Arthur first needs to survive the cruel yet fantastical world he now inhabits.

Aurora Harper had lived her childhood in the confines of a small room with parents who had mostly given up hope and relatives who knew nothing but scorn. Aurora Harper had found glory in her teenage, being celebrated as a gem of the theatre. A performer extraordinaire. She lived in a villa with parents who wanted to suck her dry off opportunities and relatives who knew nothing but bootlicking.

At twenty, in another housefull theatre of Harper Productions, she faces an ambiguous death and wakes up in the body of a scrawny five-year-old with no future or fortune in sight. Iris Bernadette.

To add fuel to destiny's arson that was her life, Iris also happens to a thief!

Given a blank canvas of a character with no background of the world or the people in it, how long can Aurora Harper ad-lib her way through life?

She finds herself caught up in a flurry of manipulative bets set forth by the young, fun loving and curious Ducal Prince, Arcel Maynard, and the suspicious mannerisms of a lurker of the shadows, Vasil.

There is a gorgeous Duchess and her stolen necklace. There is magic, a hunt for a soul and a Priestess. There are faeries, mermaids, ghosts, dragons and murders. There are schools, churches and strange new lands with treasures. There is adventure, romance and deceit. But there is no war.

There's also illiteracy and poverty  but that isn't life threatening for Aurora, yet.

Plummeted into a new world order with a constant existential crises in hand, will Aurora be able to save herself with only her dramatics to get her through?

Or will she fall in the web of this Aurora - Iris paradox and succumb to the whims of the people who want to control her?

Oh- also, she needs to earn a whole lot of money and get rich. Fast! By any means possible. Will you stay to see her get rich? For if you don't, she'll keep failing thoroughly.

Once upon a time, in the hills of The Gilded Kingdom, lived a Princess raised with the purpose of one day becoming The Greatest Queen of Aurelia.

As a proper royal, she must dress well, behave well and attain all the knowledge from the piles of books in the shelves of the Great Library and, of course, find her People's future King through a traditional ball hosted in her home as a pretense for a contest among all the nobles that must prove themselves worthy of her hand.

But what happens if the Princess prefers swords rather than dresses, or adventures rather than balls? And one night she wishes not to hold her title anymore.

In the twists and turns of the pretentious aristocrats that now occupy her home, the Princess might find true love or a broken heart. Each way shall guide her to the life she ever craved for - or so she thought.

A new journey begins in a frigid evening of crimson snow when the nine kingdoms rise from all the corners of the world.

#1 of The Gilded Kingdom series
