A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world.... more>>

Magic, mad science, multicultural ambience, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M.

Intended for mature audiences, 18+.

~~~*~~~

All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people.

Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use.

Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last?

She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her – especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family?

Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister – and the rekindling of an old flame.

Content/ Mature warnings are on for:

Gore: Nothing terribly extreme. Some bleeding wounds and broken bits, but all limbs remain attached and all innards remain inward.

Sexual Content: It's not all smut all the time, but there is some. I aim for not vague but also not overly lewd. Smut chapters are labeled NSFW. Chapters with very brief smut or just some torrid making out or somesuch are labeled NSFW-ish. All on-screen depictions are consensual, but there are a few passing references to noncon having happened off-screen (not to any MCs).

Strong Language: One character really loves to swear, and could probably construct an entire monologue with just various inflections of the F word. So, yeah, that's on too.

Other CWs: Dark themes (abuse, trauma, ptsd, depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms). Mostly in discussions of past events, but there are a few scenes that may be troubling to some readers. <<less

…Never once Stella thought that she would give up the prosperous future she fought for all these years and go back in time to save the woman she once despised. ... more>>

Stella was the youngest daughter of the Duke of Northland, and she was the most adored among her siblings. However, her life took a turn completely after her father passed away in a tragic accident and her older half-brother, Anthony, became the next duke instead. He didn’t hesitate to get rid of her by sending Stella to the Chevalier for political marriage and she was then engaged to Ophelia Chevalier, the deranged possessive villainess. It was the three most painful years of Stella’s life being imprisoned by the Chevalier and becoming Ophelia’s alpha pet. Being treated like a prisoner and abused by everyone, she had to endure all these inhumane treatments as her desire for revenge grew immensely.

Once she turned 18, Stella exposed her brother and the Chevalier’s evildoings and corruption with the support of her friends and allies. At last, she reclaimed her rightful title as the true Duchess of Northland as she was the true successor. She was convinced that was the end of her dark times and the beginning of her bright future with her soulmate…until she learned the truth.

Who would’ve thought that the mastermind behind her happy ending would be the villainess herself?

By the time she realized that it was too late. Unbearable guilt struck her even harder when she realized she had a part in contributing to Ophelia’s tragic death. She couldn’t forgive both herself and the villainess.

None of this would’ve happened if they chose to work together than to be enemies.

Now that she was given a chance to redo her past, she gave up the future with her soulmate and returned to when she was 15 – to the beginning of her three years of nightmare. As she retained all the memories of the past, Stella decided to stop from Ophelia walking down the path to her lonely and cruel end.
