Beholder's Eye

LeanGabral
In a world obsessed with appearances, one person dares to redefine beauty—starting with herself. Growing up, she dreamed of being pretty—graceful, elegant, adored. Inspired by icons like Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, and Heart Evangelista, she tried to embody kindness and poise, even when life was anything but glamorous. Working grueling hours in a call center to care for her ailing mother, she clung to her dream, finding solace in makeup tutorials and DIY transformations. A surprise win in a prestigious image consulting contest opens the door to a dazzling new life. She thinks she’s finally found her purpose. But the higher she rises, the harder the fall. Entangled in the industry's shallow standards and her own evolving truth, she’s forced to confront what beauty truly means—and what it has cost her. Her journey is one of love and loss, reinvention and rediscovery. From rivalries with charming idols to viral fame, betrayal, and healing, Beholder's Eye is a story about reclaiming identity, embracing imperfections, and learning to see your own worth—even when the mirror can’t. This is not just a transformation tale. It’s a celebration of resilience, womanhood, and the power of being truly seen.

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.
