Game of Thrones: From Deserter to Power

Cave_Learther
House of the Dragon Side Story Transmigrated as the nephew of a mercenary captain in Essos, Tiberius Mord wanted nothing more than to live the easy life of a rich man—far, far away from the bloody chaos of the Dance of the Dragons that was coming. But destiny has a wicked sense of humor. One brutal clash in Essos—the Battle of the Golden Spurs—shot his name across the Known World overnight. Famous whether he liked it or not, the reluctant hero gets dragged, kicking and screaming, straight into the Targaryen family’s savage war for the throne. And that’s when everything went gloriously off the rails: He only meant to help Prince Daemon drill a decent company of troops and cavalry to make the prince look good. Instead, he forged Westeros’s very first professional standing army—the legendary Dragonflame Legion. All he wanted was to quietly develop a patch of land on the Crab Claw Peninsula, make a little side money, and build himself a comfortable villa. What he got was a ruthless commercial empire that monopolized the sugar and fine-wine trade across the Narrow Sea. He figured he’d dash off a flattering royal history book to suck up to the crown and pocket some easy royalties. It became the official propaganda bible for House Targaryen. Years later, Tiberius sits on the Iron Throne, fingers idly tracing its vicious iron spikes, and sighs to his inner circle with pure resignation: “Boys… I swear on the Seven, all I ever wanted at the start was to be a simple deserter.”

Bloodstained Vows

In the shadowed underbelly of New York City, two once-innocent hearts are forged anew in betrayal and bloodshed. Elena Rossi was the untouchable princess of the second-largest mafia family—pampered, protected, and promised a life without stains. Until the night her father is gunned down, shattering her world and leaving her clan teetering on collapse. Her only salvation lies with the man she once loved and now despises: Luca Moretti, the ruthless boss of the rival Moretti empire. The boy who stole her first kiss under summer stars has returned from five years abroad as a cold, lethal predator—scarred, unforgiving, and more powerful than ever. Desperate for revenge and survival, Elena swallows her pride and begs for his alliance. Luca agrees... but his price is cruel and intimate. She must become his mistress—body, nights, and secrets surrendered completely. Every touch reignites old flames; every argument ends in bruising passion. As they hunt her father's killers together, buried truths surface: the assassination was no simple power grab, but a deeper conspiracy that threatens both empires. Hatred twists into obsession. Revenge becomes redemption. And the line between enemy and lover blurs until it shatters entirely. In a world where trust is a luxury and love is a weapon, Elena and Luca must decide: will they burn everything down for vengeance... or build something unbreakable from the ashes? A steamy, second-chance enemies-to-lovers mafia romance packed with face-slapping tension, slow-burn fire, weak-to-strong heroine growth, dark secrets, and a love that could destroy them both.
