The original reincarnation romance fantasy and historical romance phenomenon continues in From a Knight to a Lady Volume 2 (Limited). Whispers of madness trail Lucifela , branding her as unstable while she wrestles with a past that refuses to release its hold. Yet beneath the slander lies a more harrowing truth--her sworn enemy, Khalid , lives on under a new name: Duke Louis Luke of Jansgar. Driven by vengeance, this strong heroine steels her will to reclaim her martial strength and wield her power against those who orchestrated her ultimate betrayal. But the imperial palace is a nest of vipers--the princes plot in the shadows, the Crown Prince preys upon the weak, and deception lurks behind every courteous smile. Navigating dense royal court intrigue , Lucifela must safeguard her identity while balancing a highly charged, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension. Just when she begins to stand proud as the true daughter of House Aydin, a cruel trap is ignited in the frozen mountains. Hunted, surrounded, and with only fleeting allies by her side... will she escape the snare, or fall into the hands of those who covet her life? Regression meets body-swapping in this emotionally charged, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers webcomic tale. A fallen knight awakens in the body of a noble lady within enemy territory, setting the stage for revenge, identity conflict, and a romance layered with tension and longing. Amassing over 231 million readers worldwide, the stakes are higher than ever--will her struggle for survival ignite her spectacular rise, or seal her final downfall?

What happens when your biggest rival suddenly becomes your teammate? Leni Winter returns to her snow-covered hometown of Fichtenau with one goal: survive the holiday season and get her life back on track. The last person she expects to see is Noah Berger-the man she's spent years trying to forget. When they're unexpectedly paired up for Fichtenau's legendary Christmas Rivals Competition , they're forced to work together through twenty-four festive challenges leading up to Christmas Eve. Between witty banter, fierce competition, and undeniable chemistry, every day pushes them closer to a truth neither of them is ready to face. Twenty-four days. Twenty-four challenges. One team. As sparkling lights illuminate the town square and the scent of cinnamon fills the winter air, the line between rivalry and attraction begins to blur. But just as Leni starts to believe in second chances, a long-buried misunderstanding resurfaces-threatening to destroy everything they've built together. Can love find its way when two hearts have spent years fighting against each other? Christmas Rivals is a heartwarming New Adult holiday romance filled with enemies-to-lovers tension, slow-burn chemistry, witty banter, cozy small-town charm, and a swoon-worthy happily ever after.

She won the Goddess's blessing. She got everything she asked for. So why does it feel like she's lost it all? Rose Kultavaris survived the Retterheld. She reclaimed her magic. Her title. Her place at court. But victory can be a hollow thing. Her sister's decisions have left her life in turmoil and the crown which Prince Kyor chose over her remains firmly on his arrogant head, while the tension between them is enough to rip the sky apart. The palace celebrates her as the gifted, yet behind gilded doors alliances shift, secrets surface, and the past refuses to stay buried. When the answers she needs lie beyond the city of Wrohelm, Rose is forced to leave its walls behind and chase the truth herself. Old betrayals cut deeper than any blade, while new truths shatter everything she thought she knew. Rose is more alone than ever, and her power, now reclaimed, proves far more dangerous than anything else she has faced. In a court built on lies and ambition, Rose must decide what she truly wants: vengeance, love, or something far more dangerous ... freedom. Vows of Blood and Deception is the second in a dark, spicy slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy series, perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, The Serpent and the Wings of Night, and Throne of Glass.
