From Ashes

by Anonymous

Abed, motionless, in a lonely village, For myself I sorrow not.The Forbidden City is a sacred land that only the Emperor, his concubines and various servants are allowed to enter, and there is no exit once one steps foot within its walls. However, it is also the place where a hidden plot to overthrow the Emperor is brewing, involving, among others, the Emperor's favourite, beautiful, brown-haired, brown-eyed concubine, and an apparent palace servant, with raven hair and green eyes.

Law of Vengeance

by Dusk Peterson (duskpeterson)

"For many years, I have wished to make a memoir of my life to pass on to future generations of Emorians who desire to learn what it means to have complete dedication to the Chara and his law. This is not to be the memoir I intended, but I find the time passing slowly here in the Chara's dungeon . . ." For over twenty years, Lord Carle has told the heir to the Emorian throne that vengeance is only the other side of mercy, and that disobedience and treachery should never be forgiven. Finally it seems that his message has been received. Which makes it all the more unfortunate that Carle should have chosen this moment to break the law. As war threatens and the foundations of his life crumble, his only hope for rescue lies with a man who has every reason to hate Carle.   Boilerplate warning for all my stories + my rating system.

The Fire Before

by Dusk Peterson (duskpeterson)

"'The fire before, the fire during, the fire after – which will be the fiercest? Pray, my children, that it will not be the fire after.'" The god's fire is fierce, but not as fierce as the god's wrath if you turn away. Tristan is the King's heir, destined to rule the Kingdom of Koretia. His nephew Robin has taken Tristan's place as baron of their town. Now both men are about to face the worst crisis their land has ever known. And neither of them understands what the true crisis is. As Tristan struggles to find the courage to follow his god's command, and Robin tries to find a middle ground between piety and disloyalty to his uncle, the two noblemen will be forced to confront the consequences of war . . . and the consequences of their own inaction.

Settlement (Breached Boundaries #5)

by Dusk Peterson (duskpeterson)

"It would have taken a more imaginative singer than I to envision walking up to a man like this and introducing ourselves. In silent agreement, we turned and fled through the first open door." In the north lies separation and snow and far too many revelations. Serva has lived her life as a slave, a princess in name only. Because she is the bastard daughter of the King of Daxis, her cousin the heir seeks to capture her. None of this has prepared her for the moment when she must enter the Emorian palace and introduce herself to the ruler of an empire. Accompanied by a escort who is even shyer than she is, Serva must somehow find the courage to face the Chara and beg refuge from him. Then she must find the courage to face herself. Boilerplate warning for all my stories.
