Plague Of Shadows

Pencilgon
In a medieval-futuristic empire where magic intertwines with aristocracy, Annalise, a low-born maid, has always been keenly aware of the rigid class divides that define her world. When she experiences a vivid vision of an impending apocalypse that threatens the very fabric of society, she realizes that the only way to change the future is to forge an alliance with the enigmatic Duke Ethan Vornhart—a man shunned by the nobility due to the scars left by his father's dark experiments. In a bold move, Annalise proposes marriage to Ethan, not out of romantic ideals, but to secure a legacy that could save them both. As they navigate the complexities of their partnership, they face opposition from a society that views their union as scandalous. With the looming threat of a plague that could turn the infected into mindless horrors, they must confront both external dangers and the whispers of betrayal from within the court. As the wedding preparations unfold, Annalise must learn the ways of the nobility while grappling with her own insecurities. Meanwhile, Ethan battles the shadows of his past, striving to carve out a future that defies the expectations placed upon him. Together, they must untangle the mysteries of their world—a realm where the powerful operate in secrecy and the shadows hold dark truths. In a tale of courage and resilience, Plague of Shadows explores the strength found in unlikely alliances, the weight of legacy, and the fight against a fate that threatens to consume them all. Will Annalise and Ethan succeed in rewriting their destinies, or will the forces of darkness tear them apart before their love can truly bloom?

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
