A Republic soldier A reluctant Emperor When love and duty collide, who wins? Layla is a patriotic soldier of the Altainan Republic. And patriots don’t ally themselves with rival empires. But when she reencounters the handsome imperial noble she fell in love with years before, she falls again. Hard. And she decides: she’s going to marry that man. Duty be damned. Unfortunately, he’s also the new Valharan Emperor. And their planets are about to go to war. As tensions rise between the two worlds, Layla’s attempts at neutrality go awry. She finds herself unsafe and threatened, a foreigner no matter where she lands. Eventually, instability in their isolated galactic community leaves it ripe for invasion. Layla has to overcome her dual loyalty and end this war for once and for all–before the Whorl goes up in flames, and she loses the man she loves.

Deep within the uncharted jungle of Tinuta lies Georgianwise— an ancient city long untouched, its ruins steeped in shadow and mist. In the aftermath of the civilization’s dark downfall, strange and unsettling phenomena ripple through the land— shapes that move between nightmares and reality, ancient forces stirring beneath alien skies, and relics that pulse with eerie light. No one has dared to set foot within its borders for generations. But when a team of explorers ventures to discover what isn’t mentioned in their history archives, they find more than just secrets buried beneath the ground. This expedition isn’t about the glory of discovery. It’s about understanding what horror unfolded here, deciphering the unnatural forces that still cling to Georgianwise, and surviving a mystery older than time. Enter a world where science meets the supernatural, and the truth is as dangerous as the shadows that guard it.
