Scars in the Mirror

Ayoola_Assurance
Ezinne has known pain longer than she’s known peace. Raised in a home where love was scarce and survival was a daily battle, she learned early how to hide her scars—especially the ones no one could see. A betrayal in her youth leaves her with a son and a shattered heart. Years later, trapped in a toxic marriage and haunted by memories that won’t fade, she finds herself at the edge of breaking… until an unexpected encounter lights something in her she thought was long dead: hope. What follows is a journey through darkness and light, secrets and revelations, love and vengeance. Just when she begins to rebuild, ghosts from her past return—some seeking redemption, others with motives far more dangerous. Her family holds truths that could change everything. A man she once trusted resurfaces with a claim that could tear her world apart. And through it all, Ezinne must decide who she is, what she’s willing to fight for, and what must be left behind. This is not just a story of survival. It’s a story of awakening, of reclaiming power, and of a love so unshakable it defies even the deepest wounds.

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.
