Ambroise: The Cruel Duchess

TheArale
“When the black shadows fade, I will return with vengeance long delayed. I am the heir, the wind that fans the flame, and I will burn a throne unworthy of its name.” - Aeris Ambroise The cruel tragedy that unfolded seven years ago forced a young girl to stand as the shield of her family. Every emotion, every sorrow, was buried deep within her heart, locked away with no voice to release them. “My lady, life is cruel enough already. Why are you pushing me away too? Keep me by your side and use me as you like. I will walk into the fire with you.” - Ash Hendro Watching the woman who captured his heart, yet whom he could never truly possess, Ash Hendro chose to defy orders to remain at Aeris Ambroise’s side. Even knowing his decision could cost him his life. Even if it meant closing his eyes and turning away from his sworn duty. “We serve the crown, not the emperor. Our loyalty belongs only to the throne held by the Imperial Family. It is our duty to ensure that the ruler fulfills their responsibility to the people. Airel, if the one seated upon the throne oppresses his own people, then we, as the guardian of the empire, must take action. Do not falter as the protection of the wind will always be with you. Remember that.” - Aeris Ambroise Blinded by a vengeance long nurtured in silence, can Aeris Ambroise turn her back on her responsibility in the name of justice? Can she continue moving forward, even if it means letting go of everything she holds dear? The once-peaceful Empire of Ankaa stands on the brink of a great conflict. One that will leave scars upon history itself. Because of the brutal tragedy seven years ago, the sole female heir of the Ambroise family came to be known as the most ruthless head the Ambroise lineage has ever produced.

STARLIGHT 2: THE STOLEN REALITY

What’s worse than the apocalypse? Waking up in the heart of its ruins with no memory of who you are. Stray awakens on Starlight 2, a planet that has become a graveyard for an advanced civilization. Without memories, without an identity, he is armed only with the raw instinct to survive in a world where the laws of nature have bent and twisted. This planet is no longer one; it is fractured into layers of shifting realities, hiding dark secrets behind every shadow. Stray’s journey is more than just a flight for survival. To uncover his past, he must traverse six Great Cities standing on the brink of collapse—each protected by a Divine Guard, powerful entities who hold the keys to the truth and serve as the ultimate barrier to anyone who dares disturb the world’s fragile order. Starting as an "empty shell," lost and confused, Stray begins to feel a burning empathy as he witnesses the desperate struggle of humanity within these chaotic cities. But as the truth begins to unravel, he realizes that his fall to this planet was no accident. There is an emotional purpose buried deep within his mind. There is a grand destiny awaiting him at the end of his journey. And there is a heavy price to pay to restore the reality that was stolen. "I don’t know who I was, but I know this world isn't supposed to be like this." Can Stray piece together his broken memories before the entire planet vanishes into permanent darkness? Or is his true identity the very threat everyone should fear? DISCLAIMER: The cover of the novel is an illustration of how the main male character sees a woman before he falls on the planet Starlight-2.
