Between Wings

_quillotine
“In a house divided by status, secrets, and the whisper of wings, freedom feels as distant as the stars.” When Laura Charles takes a position at the prestigious Wyndham Estate, she plans to keep her head down, her past hidden, and her heart untangled. Among the polished silver and immaculate halls, she’s determined to play her part as the perfect lady's maid: quiet, diligent, and invisible. But nothing at Wyndham is as simple as it seems. From Amber, the exuberant housemaid, to Mrs. Hobbs, the sharp and rigid housekeeper, the servants' hall brims with personalities as complex as the estate itself. Among them is Aleksi, a towering, sharp-tongued footman whose presence stirs something Laura can't quite define. As their paths cross in unexpected ways, sparks fly—not of romance but of class tension and sharp disdain. Yet beneath the barbs and silences lies an unsettling intensity that neither can fully ignore. Meanwhile, the estate hides more than just its opulent splendor. Foreign servants whisper in a language Laura doesn’t understand, and the weight of expectations crushes everyone under the roof, noble or not. In a world where every glance and gesture is a battle for survival, trust becomes a dangerous luxury, and the line between ally and enemy blurs. As the seasons shift and the stakes rise, Laura finds herself trapped between two wings: the strict confines of duty and the yearning for something more—freedom, perhaps, or even love. But how far will she go to protect herself when her heart and her carefully constructed walls are both at risk of crumbling? Between Wings is a tale of class, romance, and survival, where every choice is fraught with danger and even the smallest kindness can have far-reaching consequences. For fans of slow-burn romance, rich historical drama, and characters navigating a world determined to define them, this is a story of transformation and defiance against all odds.

In The Flames Of The Fallen

“Those who venture into the flames shall be consumed by its tongue—And they shall be called the Fallen.” Ember AshFall was the last person meant to survive that fateful night. She had lived all her life as a powerless witch. An unloved daughter. It was expected that she would be the first to burn in the very flames that claimed her coven’s life. And she did burn that night—alongside a thousand of them. And for a heartbeat, she even died as they did. Until Khaos BlueBlood happened. Cold-blooded vampire. Battle-scarred god. Possessing immortality that transcends time, Khaos wasn’t meant to be a savior—but a nightmare that stalks monsters. And when he drags Ember from the fire, it’s not for love. Nor for mercy. But for a blurred purpose. He offers her a choice: die as a powerless, forgotten witch… or rise as something far more dangerous. It was never really a choice. So like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Ember is thrust into a new life—one where she must take on the identity of another. Now, as Princess Ember Thorne, she exchanges her name as a witch for the crown of the largest Human Clan—people known as the Huntsmen. But a stolen life comes with a steep cost. Her new mother—Queen Consort Serpentine Andal Thorne—doesn’t want a replacement daughter. She wants a pawn. A weapon sharpened by grief and wielded without remorse as she plays her bloodstained game of vengeance. Ember is thus forced to play the role of the perfect princess in a court filled with devils draped in silk— a role that grows more dangerous with every step she takes. And Khaos? He didn’t save her to watch her play pretend. He’s training her from the shadows. Testing her. Tempting her. He saved her to mold her. Break her. And maybe… claim her. With whispers that burn hotter than fire and eyes that see through every lie, Ember is aware that he’s someone far ancient for her to dabble with. And as danger coils around the throne and the ghosts of Ember’s past rise to haunt her, she realizes: this isn’t a game of thrones. It’s a war of hearts. And in this world of night and blood, fire and magic, loyalty is earned through pain… and love is just another form of control. One wears a stolen crown. One sharpens a stolen daughter. One hides a dagger behind every smile. Here where fire feeds the fallen, only the cruel will survive.

Reborn As The Duke’s Daughter: Noodle Apocalypse In Another World

When a K-drama-obsessed college student chokes to death on spicy ramyeon during Revenge of the Weak’s explosive finale, she expects her story to end as a meme. Instead, she’s reborn as Lady Evangeline Antoinette Kraevia Evernight, the prophesied youngest daughter of a powerful duke in a world where magic, nobility, and absurdity collide. Armed with a glowing birthmark that summons holographic K-pop idols, a knack for hexing her enemies bald, and a talking cat with delusions of grandeur (“Call me Lord Whiskerton, peasant”), Evangeline quickly learns that noble life is just another drama—but with more swords and fewer subtitles. Her To-Do List: 1. Survive assassination attempts (toddler princes with marriage contracts are weirdly persistent.) 2. Master her chaotic magic (accidentally turning the archbishop’s robes into ramyeon counts as progress, right?). 3. Avoid her four overprotective brothers (one’s a sword-wielding mama’s boy, one’s a scheming scholar, one’s a pyromaniac mage, and the youngest just wants a pet swan). 4. Decode her prophecy (“Child of Moon and Shadow” sounds cool, but why does it involve sentient noodles?). But when a mysterious enemy awakens a ramyeon elemental hellbent on seasoning the kingdom into submission, Evangeline must rally her dysfunctional family, her sassy cat, and EX’ ACT’s greatest hits to prove that even a noodle-fueled isekai disaster can rewrite destiny—one spicy misadventure at a time.
