Of Threads and Thunder

Akatoby
In a continent torn by ancient gods and rising kingdoms, power is everything. Some wield mana to cast spells and shape elements. Others, like the warriors of Blóðfjöll, are bound to Æther—divine energy that transforms the body and leads the worthy toward godhood. Kyjell Erikson is fifteen. A prince. A warrior. The son of the strongest man on the continent. But he’s not a hero—yet. What begins as a brutal coming-of-age trial soon spirals into something far greater: war, betrayal, and a thread of fate that even the gods can’t control. As two great powers clash—one holy, one forged in blood—Kyjell will be forced to rise, fall, and rise again in a world where monsters wear many faces… and some don’t bleed when cut. Bound by rune and thunder, his journey will test more than strength. It will test what it means to be human. This is a story of war and love. Of fate and rebellion. Of a boy who was never meant to survive… and might become something no god can kill.

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
