I Became a Mother in Another World

★ 4.62

Urmie

“9… 8…. 7… 6…. 5…. 4…. 3…. 2… 1!”

She stepped forward. Throwing a “SEE YOU IN A FEW HOURS!” in the loudest voice she could manage towards the pilot, she ran towards the edge and jumped, unaware of what a big, fat lie those words would turn out to be.

— — —

Samaya Dhar, codename Maya, was a Special Agent of the Third Eye Agency, an intelligence agency that operates worldwide to ensure peace and order, no matter the means. On a mission, she finds herself transported to a strange and unfamiliar world.

First order of things. Steal some appropriate clothes.

Second order of things. Find out where you are.

Third order of things. Try to find …. Wait, is that a half-dead child in the alleyway? What the heck?

The boy looks on the verge of death. She cannot bring herself to leave the child alone. It’s fine. She will still find a way back. She will still go back home. She will just take the little bun with her.

Or so she thought until the little bun caught the eyes of some very important people.

Turns out, the little bun is a Prince. And his father wants him at the Palace. But hell would freeze over before Samaya let anyone take her child from her.

This is the story of a woman who is just trying to protect her found family while looking for a way home and ends up being entangled in a big web of politics, harem intrigue, assassination plots, and one infuriating man who is at the center of it all.

★ 4.79

KLeo Gerts

"What is reflected in your eyes? Everything that doesn't kill us makes us stronger. That's what people say. But is it?

Axel is only ten moons old when his world shatters—torn from home, sold into the demon realm like property. In his diary, he lays bare a fate too cruel to ignore, raising questions to which society turns a blind eye.

At the clash of three worlds, war breeds only blood, betrayal, and silence.With Felix and Nel—the only sparks in a drowning darkness—he defies despair.

Together, they endure.Together, they choose humanity. They will protect each other.

This is Axel’s struggle. His defiance. His voice in the darkness.

🖤 Dark fantasy — only raw truth

🧠 Psychological depth

💭 Philosophical reflections — on identity, suffering, and choice

🔥 Inner strength and magic — a fight not just against fate, but the world itself

🌌 Interdimensional travel — across realms consumed by war.

👥Connections that go deeper than survival — bromance, romance, and found family.

✒️First person narration.

📅 New chapters every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

🖤 Read. Feel. Let the darkness consume you.

"This story is for those who made it through.
And for those still finding their way."

The Beast and The Swallow

Ariana Vivoni

The complete edited Book 1 is now available on Amazon for a large cup of coffee. All books on RoyalRoadare first drafts.

The Beast and The Swallow on Amazon

Of all the tales in all the lands, there isn't a story more famous and more heart-wrenching than the one about the Beast and the White Swallow.

Never heard of it? Then come closer, for it is about to unfold before your very own eyes.

In a far-away land of snow and mystery, the fates of two bastards entangle.

He is a warrior and a ruler. She is a physician with a tormented past.

Now both of them will have to learn not only to live together but also to fight against any and all that threatens to ruin their happiness. Amongst chaos, schemes, and war, will they manage to fulfill the most difficult task - finding the way to each other's heart and soul?

The path won’t be easy. A dark cult and even darker magic are resurfacing after years of slumber. And while they wreak havoc in the lands of Norden, the Star-gazer’s voice echoes in the night, heralding a dangerous future:

When the Beast falls, the Swallow shall triumph.

For the Sun to shine over Norden, the Swallow must be devoured.

The Lady’s Handbook of Intrigue and Murder (High Fantasy Politics)

★ 4.8

HaltWrite

Summary:

The daughter of a dying house is summoned to the Imperial City to meet and perhaps marry a handsome prince. It sounds like a fairy tale.

Except Mydea doesn’t have the advantage of a half-forgotten childhood encounter, supreme magic to match the highest echelons of society, or even the privilege of an ally. In order to survive and make a name for herself, she must beat the Imperial Court at its own game.

At least no one's tried to kill her—yet.

Notes: Basically, if you liked the magic of Harry Potter and the politics of Game of Thrones, you'll probably like this. While the first book focuses on the female lead, and the interplay of competing regional and imperial interests, subsequent books will also cover warfare and how I imagine that differs wildly from historical norms with the introductions of a magical aristocracy.

Fallen Eagle [Kingdom-Building; Military Strategy]

★ 4.74

Theodorus Sideris

The year is 1459. Constantinople has fallen, and the Romans are no more.

Nearly fifteen hundred years after its founding, the greatest empire the world has known has ceased to exist, swallowed whole by the Great Ottoman tide. In the dying embers of the Byzantine world, its last rump states stand on the brink of collapse. Their fall will mark the end of any remnant of Roman rule.

Nestled in the mountains of the Crimean Peninsula, the tiny Greek Principality of Theodoro clings to a desperate existence, living in the shadow of Byzantium's destroyers. Its fall is not a possibility; it is a historical certainty.

Dr. Nikos Karagiannis is a History professor ripped across worlds into the body of Theodorus, a bookish third son in a disgraced house with a prophetic name, but little prospects. Nikos has no magic or divine blessings. What he does possess is the knowledge of the political blunders, the shifting alliances, and the military tactics that will lead this land to ruin.

"The city is fallen and I am still alive."

– Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last Byzantine Emperor.

What to Expect:

Historical Kingdom-Building: A gritty, grounded take on rebuilding a nation where logistics are king, supply lines are lifelines, and battles are won with strategy, not superpowers.

A Brutally Realistic World: The protagonist is not the center of the universe. Allies and antagonists have their own ambitions and plans, and will act accordingly.

Meaningful Character Arcs: A story where characters are forged and broken by the crucible of war and politics. Dramatic and tense character interplay abounds, and no one is safe. You have been warned.

The Morgulon – Werewolves, Hunters, War and Politics

★ 4.62

Kerma B

Loegrion is a country thrice cursed.

Least of the three is the occupation by the Valoisian Empire, which the people have grudgingly learned to live with.

The second is the Rot, spawned by the spells the invaders used during their crusade: Magic spoiled and twisted has infested the fertile meadows, lively rivers and deep forests of Loegrion, turning the very land against its inhabitants and granting a perverted mirror of life to things that should be dead.

Third is the oldest and most dangerous curse: Werewolves, big as horses and hungry for human flesh. It’s this curse that, if left alone, would kill the most, if it weren’t for people like the noble House Feleke, hunters and sworn enemies of the monsters.

Greg Feleke, youngest of four, has it all figured out. He’s going to do his part in slowing the spread of the third curse—for a few years, until he’s made enough money to get by on his own. Mostly, he wants to prove to his overbearing family he has what it takes to join the family business.

However, when his opportunity finally arrives, it all goes wrong. Greg is bitten, and suddenly finds himself running from his own family. But while hiding on the edges of society, he learns that the three curses might be closer connected than anyone knew—and that the cure might be more fantastic and yet closer at hand that anyone could have dreamed.

An AI sworn to protect humanity, stranded on a world of magic and monsters, ready to unleash the fury of the universe on those who would threaten her humans.

Sapphiria was performing her duties as a fleet admiral of the Terran Federation, leading a goodwill tour of the fringe worlds, when she was caught in a hyperspace anomaly.

She now finds herself crashlanded on a foreign world of magic and monsters. She is cut off from all reinforcements, with nothing but the contents of her escape pod and her expertise as one of the best engineers to ever serve the Navy to help her. Luckily, she is an Artificial Intelligence, though she retains much of the humanity from the digitalized brains and AI fragments her consciousness was forged from, and her escape pod is not just a glorified lifeboat, but a miniature factory, equipped with the means and knowledge to build an entire colony from scratch.

However, she soon finds herself before a problem: humans, or 'squishies', as most AIs in the Federation call them, at least where their charges can't hear them. Squishies surviving under the threat of an undead invasion, slaughtering everything and everyone they come across, a horror born out of the fall of a powerful Empire of necromancers, that now threatens the entire world.

It will be their funeral.
