A Kingdom Of Ruin Novels & Stories

Empires will crumble. Kingdoms will fall. A true queen will ascend to take her throne. And I will destroy the world to make it happen.

“I destroyed it.” He frowned. “What?” “His kingdom,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “Adrian’s kingdom. It’s gone.” Kael inhaled sharply, his grip tightening. “You did it.” I nodded. “It’s over.” For a long moment, he said nothing. The rain poured around us, washing away the blood, the ash, the past. Finally, he spoke. “Then why do you look like you lost?” I froze. Kael had always been sharp—too sharp. He saw the things I tried to bury.

Chapter 24: The Shattered Prince The once-thriving kingdom of Zorana had been hollowed out by the endless war. The castle’s stone walls, now scarred with both the wear of battle and the passing of time, echoed with a kind of quiet desperation. And inside the cold, unfeeling chambers of the prince, Caden was no longer the man Karina had known. His eyes were sharp, relentless—a man consumed not by loss, but by a burning, obsessive need for vengeance.

Piles of rubble scattered everywhere and just to my far left is a tall broken down building that looks suspiciously like a castle. I noticed that the prince's expressions turned grim and that made my curiosity tingle. "What is this place?" I asked them. "It's the ruins of the former kingdom of Gija." Said Nate.

The others also mounted their stallion and moments later, they were already back on course. Because of her frequenting the towns of Caelum, they easily found their way around and left the Kingdom. What's beyond the borders is where the real danger lies. Right outside of the border are the ruins of the neighboring Kingdom recently destroyed by Kingdom Caelum during King Estefan's reign, Kingdom Vyria. It's now a complete wasteland which made their travel a ton times easier. Although the air was stuffy and the land barren, they still managed to make it past there all fine. Alessia had the entirety of the continent map memorized, so every terrain, every landmark, was familiar to her. Her journe

"If this is what you saw earlier," continued Rai. "Aima? I never heard of it," replied Diana. "Of course, because that kingdom has collapsed since ten centuries ago."

The First King's Challenge The ruined kingdom stretched endlessly. Broken towers pierced the dark sky. Collapsed castles littered the landscape. The ground itself was scarred by ancient wars. Everywhere Thomas looked— he saw destruction. Not ordinary destruction. Ancient destruction. The kind left behind by gods. God. No. Fair. Absolutely not. Reasonable honestly. Then Arkan sat upon the shattered throne. Calm. Patient. Watching. The First King. The original ruler. The creator of the Crown System.

Raisa and Helie said together, Raisa continuing lightly, "We will get there when we get there, sweet." "She's right," said Helie, sniffing one last time as she reached resoluteness. "Right now, we have to focus on finding—" I pointed ahead. "That?!" Raisa leaned forward and breathed, "Oh, my Goddess." A kingdom of ruins. That was the only thing I could think of to describe what was looming ahead of us, because that's exactly what it was.
