Halfway to Forever

Amber_Delight
After fourteen years of love, laughter, and growing up side by side, Shawn and Amber seem like the couple who would make it to the end. They met as teenagers, weathered heartbreaks, dreams, and detours together. Now, as Shawn turns 30, he’s ready to take the next step—to settle down and build the future he’s always imagined with the only woman he's ever loved. But Amber’s dreams have just begun to bloom. With her career finally taking off, the timing feels all wrong. Torn between ambition and affection, she declines Shawn’s heartfelt proposal—not out of doubt, but out of hope. She promises him two more years, just a little more time... and then they’ll have everything. But time has its own plans. As distance and doubt creep in, Shawn begins to stray, seeking comfort in the arms of another even as he continues to love Amber. Guilt weighs heavily, and secrets slowly crack the foundation of what once felt unbreakable. Halfway to Forever, is a deeply emotional journey through love tested by time, choices, and timing. It's about soulmates who never stopped loving each other—just forgot how to love each other right. In the end, will love be enough to bridge the gap between who they were and who they’ve become?

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.
