Novel Synopsis: *"The Shattered Will Ascendant"*** --- **In a world where magic bends to the strongest will, one child’s birth tears the fabric of fate—and heaven itself trembles.** When the Astral Veil fractures during a once-in-a-millennium celestial alignment, the elven sorceress Lirael defies the gods to save her newborn son, **Otoku**, from a prophecy that demands his death. Her sacrifice leaves him with an inverted mana core—a power that warps reality through raw willpower, not elemental mastery. To the kingdoms of Eldryn, Otoku is either a weapon or a curse: the dwarves crave his magic to reignite their forges, the human dynasties plot to enslave him, and the elusive Kingdom of God watches silently, waiting to reclaim what it fears. Raised in exile by the ruthless High Elder Veyra, Otoku struggles to control his unstable abilities. His emotions ignite cataclysms—melting stone to gold, unraveling time, or summoning voids that devour light itself. But as whispers of the *Codex of Shattered Horizons* surface—an ancient text that once rewrote the laws of magic—Otoku becomes the linchpin in a war spanning continents. From the ash-choked battlefields of human empires to the crystalline spires of elven inquisitors, Otoku’s journey forces him to confront his legacy: - **A father**, Kaelion, now a warlord bonded to Voidspawn. - **A lover**, whose betrayal reveals her as a pawn of the God-King. - **A mother’s echo**, lingering in his soul, urging him to shatter heaven’s throne. As alliances fracture and the Veil crumbles, Otoku must choose: - **Destroy the God-King’s throne** and free humanity from celestial chains. - **Claim it**, mastering godlike power at the cost of his humanity. - **Rewrite existence itse.

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
