A Song Of Flayed Banners

Xlander289
He dies at twenty-five in a bedroom that isn't his, shot four times by a man whose wife he shouldn't have touched. The last thing Vikram Malhotra feels is the cold spreading through his chest, and then—nothing. Until he wakes up as someone else. Castor Bolton. Twelve years old. Heir to the Dreadfort, a fortress in the frozen North where they still tell stories about flaying men alive. His father is the kind of lord who makes people nervous just by existing. His mother is beautiful, lonely, and carries Targaryen blood two generations back—dragon ancestry that shows in silver hair and violet eyes. And Castor? He remembers everything. Two lives crammed into one head, and he's stuck in a world he recognizes from books he read in another lifetime. Westeros. Years before the story even begins, before the game of thrones tears the realm apart. The thing is, he knows what's coming. Every war, every betrayal, every house that's going to fall. And he's a Bolton now, in a medieval world where power doesn't answer to laws or cameras or angry husbands with guns. Just strength. Just will. Just the ability to take what you want and make people believe it was always yours. The North is brutal. The Dreadfort is worse. And Castor Bolton doesn't plan to waste his second chance playing nice. He's tall, sharp-minded, better at reading people than they are at hiding from him. He knows how to make servants loyal, how to find the cracks in marriages, how to build something dark and useful in the spaces between what people say and what they want. No honor. No redemption arc. No Stark-simp Just a dead man given another life, and a medieval world that's about to learn what happens when someone plays the game without a conscience... 'cause.. .in..the end... the VILLAIN always wins!! -------------------------------------------- For more immersive experience visit my scribble hub site: [ https://www.scribblehub.com/series/2062912/a-song-of-flayed-banners/ ] -------------------------------------------- For complete experience [ volume 1 ] (a lot of images (even r18) better fonts) :- [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D7m3VzUjgPusx9O6zNz8pYhyORS5dDs7/view?usp=drivesdk ] ---------------------------------------------- I am also posting on Royal Road:- ( https://www.royalroad.com/profile/877919/fictions )

Kira has spent her life believing she's cursed - a wolfless embarrassment her father barely tolerates. But when she's forced into a contract marriage with the cold and terrifying Lycan King, she learns the truth is far more deadly. *** Derek Wolfe didn't ask for a wife, just a womb for his heir. Emotionless, merciless, and built entirely from brooding muscle and trauma, the Lycan King intends to use her, then send her back where she came from. But when an assassination attempt exposes the lies surrounding her birth, he realises he's married something far more dangerous than a powerless girl. P.S: This is a slow-burn love story.

In the shadowed world of shifters, Lyra Ashcroft was raised to become the perfect Luna—destined to bond with her childhood friend and supposed fated mate, Aric, to unite their packs in peace. But on the night of their sacred ceremony, the ancestral stone shatters at her touch, unleashing a terrifying prophecy: Any child born from her womb will bring about the end of the shifter world. And if Aric marks her, Silvermoon will fall. To save his people, Aric rejects her before the entire pack, condemning her as a curse worthy of death. Hunted and betrayed, Lyra flees into the forbidden territory of the Nightbane Pack—straight into the hands of Darius Nightbane. He is the ruthless Tyrant King, rumored to be a lethal hybrid of wolf and vampire. An impossible, intoxicating mate bond sparks between them, leading to one unforgettable night of surrender. Terrified of her cursed fate, Lyra flees to the human world the very next morning, determined to put the pack life behind her and start anew. But weeks later, she realizes she is pregnant with the Tyrant King's child Or children. Children tied to a prophecy powerful enough to either destroy the shifter world… or unite it beneath a single throne. When Darius tracks her down, his obsession turns feral the moment he senses the lives growing inside her. But he is not the only one coming for her. Aric, the Silvermoon pack, and power-hungry Alphas across the continent are hunting her down, desperate to eliminate the threat her unborn heirs pose to their power. As packs prepare for war, fanatics rise to worship the unborn children, and enemies gather to destroy them, Lyra finds herself trapped at the center of a battle far greater than love.

Six Months Contract With The Mafia God

He was forbidden. My brother's best friend. Also the most dangerous man in the country. And I signed myself over to him. Leah Thorne had one rule: stay away from Dimitri Valentino. It shouldn't have been difficult. He was ruthless, feared, and devastatingly beautiful in the way that only truly dangerous things are. The kind of man who owned nightclubs, commanded armies, and made grown men weep with a single look. The kind of man her brother Mike trusted with his life. The kind of man she had absolutely no business wanting. But one shattered marriage, one bottle of whiskey, and one catastrophically bad decision later, Leah wakes up in Dimitri's bed with a signed contract on the nightstand and six months of her life no longer her own. Her body. His rules. No exceptions. The contract is iron-clad, the penalty clause suffocating — fifty million dollars she doesn't have. And Dimitri Valentino, the Wolf of the Italian underworld, has absolutely no intention of letting her go. He says he'll ruin her for other men. He's not lying. Because beneath the cold control and the thousand-dollar suits is a man who has wanted her for seven sinful years — who has memorized the curve of her smile, the sound of her laugh, and exactly how to take her apart piece by piece until the only word left in her vocabulary is his name. Eve came to him broken, looking to feel wanted. She never expected to feel owned. She never expected to love it. Six Months Contract With The Mafia God is a scorching dark romance about forbidden hunger, dangerous obsession, and the catastrophic moment a good girl stops running from the wolf who has always been hunting her. Some contracts change everything. Some men are worth the fine print.

Three Kingdoms, Myth

Chen Xi looked at the soldier who had just thrown a boulder weighing several hundred pounds and silently gazed up at the sky. Is this really the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? Lü Bu single-handedly breaking through an army of ten thousand, how does that even make sense? Zhao Zilong truly seemed possessed by the dragon's spirit, cutting a mountain in half with a single sword strike—can he really be human? Dian Wei, single-handedly protecting Cao Cao and killing thousands of infantry and cavalry as they broke out of the enemy camp—this combat power is off the charts! Something seems off here. Chen Xi casually grabbed a goose feather fan, waved it, and as a strong wind rose, he sighed deeply. ____________________ You can read advance chapters of this novel and other novels in my patreon patreon.com/NO_NAME1412

The Bedrock Graveyard

Elyan, heir to the desert city of Heliqar, has always believed the world runs on cause and effect. As the prince who engineered a safe trade route across the deadly Red Sand Sea, he trusts discipline and rationality above all else. When a dying woman entrusts him with a set of artifacts unlike anything he’s ever studied—devices that respond not to strength or skill but to intent—Elyan becomes determined to unravel their precise, inexplicable rules one by one. His discovery draws the attention of Heliqar’s most ruthless enemy. Captured and taken deep into their territory, Elyan must finish deciphering the artifacts while navigating a system built on cruelty and fear. The more he learns, the clearer it becomes: the artifacts’ power is fundamentally incompatible with the logic of the state that now holds him prisoner. To save himself and protect his city, Elyan must decide how far he’s willing to push a tool that exposes injustice with perfect, merciless precision—and what it means to wield that power inside a nation defined by it.
