Karensia

Gwendolyn Breckenridge, a precious daughter of noble family from Brovodian Kingdom, wakes up to a terrifying dream come true. Injured and trapped in a carriage, she's carted away to a strange land. The awful truth hits her: she's being sold as a slave.

Betrayed by both her lover and trusted handmaiden, with her parents missing in the midst of the chaos engulfing her family, she is plunged into despair. Stripped of her wealth and status, she is left to deal with a harsh reality where her once-gilded life is now in tatters.

After a series of torments, she landed in a shadowland called Sotreapis Kingdom – a place she's never even heard of. One terrifying fact becomes clear: in the shadow Kingdom of Sotreapis, a cruel king named Malgarius captures beautiful women only to kill them. But he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Gwendolyn's spirit and resilience despite their different realm.

Despite the danger, a forbidden attraction blossoms between them. Now, she is trapped in this deadly game, surrounded by danger and unsure of who to trust – a ruthless king captivated by her, a court teeming with suspicion, and the ever-present threat of those who wish to silence her.
 
Can she use this unexpected turn of events to not only clear her name and find her family, but perhaps even rewrite the deadly fate awaiting her in Sotreapis? Can Gwendolyn overcome the betrayal that shattered her life? And most importantly, can she survive the clutches of a murderous king in a foreign land or fell deeper into his honey trap?

The Shadow King's Uncrowned Queen

The path stretched ahead, and Malgarius felt as if the weight of the entire Ignis Realm was on his shoulders. But, somehow, he also felt as if, for the first time, there was a possibility of a future where they could be together. He glanced at Gwendolyn, taking in her beautiful face, her long blonde hair, and her radiant smile.

He could feel the pull of his attraction toward her, and for the first time, he allowed himself to give in to it, allowing his thoughts to drift freely and openly, imagining the possibility of a future where they could be together and explore the love between them.

And as he did, a new thought formed, a tiny seed of hope and possibility. He had the power to control the Ignis Realm. What if he could control more than just the landscape? What if he could manipulate the very fabric of time and space itself?

His heart skipped a beat. Was it even possible? He didn't know, but he was determined to find out.
