Shadow of The Realms

aria809
Main Synopsis: In a world where spirit and sword determine fate, Wei Yehan is considered the weakest among the rising stars of cultivation. Born without a sword, lacking elemental affinity, and carrying nothing but his quiet smile—he is overlooked by allies, dismissed by rivals, and forgotten by history. But the Mirror Gate of Deep Reflection remembers. When the Spirit Assessment Ceremony begins, ancient forces stir from sleep. Beneath blooming lotuses and veils of mist, something awakens in Wei Yehan—a forgotten power, or perhaps a buried truth. What lies beyond the Spirit Realm is not just a trial, but a path leading to secrets long erased by time. Beside him stands Feng Yusheng, the silent second young master of Lianfeng Sect—elegant, distant, and carrying a destiny of his own. What begins as duty becomes something more, as the two are drawn together by dreams, danger, and a past neither of them can fully remember. Five sects. One ceremony. A veil that separates realms is beginning to thin. And the boy with no sword may be the key to everything. The truth is not what the world believes. And sometimes, even a forgotten shadow can reshape the heavens. --- Short Blurb: “You keep staring,” Wei Yehan said, half-laughing as he leaned back on the jade railing, pretending not to care. “If you’re trying to intimidate me, it’s not working.” Feng Yusheng stepped closer, gaze steady. “I’m not trying to intimidate you.” “Then what?” Wei Yehan blinked. “Trying to seduce me?” Silence. A breath. Then Feng Yusheng replied, calm as ever— “Would it work?” Wei Yehan scoffed, lips curling. “Don’t tell me you’ve been having bad thoughts about me, Young Master Feng?” “I have,” Feng Yusheng said. “And none of them are innocent.” Wei Yehan’s smile faltered—just for a heartbeat. “Tch. You say it like I’ll believe you.” Feng Yusheng closed the distance, voice low. “Then let me prove it.”

The Last Touched: Rite of Queens

AUTHOR'S NOTE: It's come to my attention that I accidentally set my privilege chapters to start too early, to make up for this (since I'm unable to change that) I've set up an 80% Privilege Chapter Discount launching May 2025 for all privilege tiers. I hope you still give my book a chance so that you can fall in love with the characters as much as I have while writing it. ABSTRACT: Elsbeth is the last touched, the Alpha of the 12th cursed pack of wolves, struggling to rebuild her life after her father, the former alpha, murdered the queen. To protect her people from her former mate—a dangerous and vengeful force bent on hunting them to extinction—Elsbeth must undergo the Rite of Queens, an ancient and powerful ritual that challenges the descendants of the bloodline to prove they can rule with strength and wisdom. In the Rite, Elsbeth is thrust into the past, inhabiting the life of her ancestor, the first queen, and the rightful heir to the throne. Born of a potent wolf bloodline, she is destined to ascend to the throne and lead the kingdom. But her world unravels when she uncovers a buried secret—she has a sister, Julia, a half-sibling born of fire and cast out long ago. Julia, a firefox-wolf hybrid, is not just a bitter reminder of their mother's betrayal; she is a living force of destruction, burning with unrelenting rage and power, and she’s determined to claim the throne for herself. As Elsbeth navigates this new life and rises in her rightful position, she is haunted by the bond she shares with Fen, her true mate. The mate bond is a powerful connection, one that threatens to consume her entirely. Elsbeth fears that if she surrenders too deeply to this love, she will lose herself, unable to fulfill her duties as queen and warrior. The idea of abandoning everything for the sake of love terrifies her, and the fear of being drawn into the mate bond’s pull is one she can’t ignore. Meanwhile, Julia is amassing an army, her flames of fury ready to burn the kingdom to the ground. Determined to reclaim what she believes is her birthright, Julia will stop at nothing to destroy everything Elsbeth holds dear. As Elsbeth’s responsibilities mount, the battle between the two sisters becomes inevitable—a clash of fire and wolf that could reshape the very fate of their realm. Caught between the loyalty to her people and the magnetic pull of her mate, Elsbeth must find a way to confront her sister’s growing power, protect her kingdom, and navigate the turmoil within herself. The future of the kingdom hangs in the balance, and Elsbeth must decide what kind of ruler she will be. Will she succumb to the love of her mate, or will she rise above, setting aside her heart to protect everything she’s sworn to defend? The Last Touched: Rite of Queens is a tale of family, power, and sacrifice. In a world where the fire of the past threatens to consume everything, Elsbeth’s greatest challenge lies in finding the strength to rule—without losing herself in the flames.
