Ratu Medusa

Di balik kemegahan Kerajaan Tirta Mandala, tersimpan sebuah ramalan kuno tentang Sang Cahaya—sosok yang akan membawa kejayaan atau kehancuran. Saraswati, seorang putri yang hidup terkurung dalam istana, dibesarkan tanpa mengetahui jati dirinya. Mimpi-mimpi ganjil, bisikan misterius, dan pengawalnya yang baru, Raka Mahardika, membangkitkan tekadnya untuk mencari kebenaran. Pencariannya mengungkap rahasia kelam: Saraswati bukan keturunan raja, melainkan pewaris sah dari klan pemberontak yang telah dibantai. Ia seharusnya telah dibunuh, tapi justru disembunyikan. Dengan bantuan Raka dan Ki Wira, ia melarikan diri, menemukan perlindungan di Hutan Angkara, dan merangkul takdirnya sebagai pemimpin pemberontakan. Namun perjuangan tak berhenti di medan perang. Setelah menggulingkan Raja Adhiraj—ayah angkat sekaligus musuhnya—Saraswati dihadapkan pada dilema: membalas dendam atau menjadi pemimpin yang berbeda. Ia memilih belas kasih, mengasingkan raja dan naik takhta sebagai Ratu Tirta Mandala. Tapi kemenangan hanyalah awal. Di balik dinding istana, konspirasi baru mulai tumbuh. Para bangsawan yang kecewa menyusun rencana untuk menggulingkannya tanpa perang—dengan fitnah dan pengkhianatan dari dalam. Di saat genting, bahkan cinta antara Saraswati dan Raka diuji. Ketika pengkhianat dari lingkaran terdekatnya terungkap, Saraswati harus menghadapi ujian terakhir: bertahan sebagai pemimpin atau tumbang seperti yang lain. Dalam dunia yang diselimuti bayang-bayang, akankah ia mampu menjadi cahaya yang membawa perubahan? "Darah dan Takhta" adalah kisah epik tentang takdir, pengkhianatan, dan kekuatan seorang wanita muda dalam menuntun kerajaan menuju cahaya—atau kehancuran.

Better to be straight forward Med! I gulped down the lump formed in my throat and spoke with my stern voice trying to be confident. "Yes, I'm scared of you, more than you can even imagine." All my confidence faded away within an instant as his soft chuckle replaced the silence. Jerking me forward into his arms he leaned forward to whisper into my ear. "I will kiss you, hug you and bang you so hard that you will only remember my name to sa-, moan. You will see me around a lot baby, get ready your therapy session to get rid off your fear starts now." He whispered in his deep husky voice and winked before leaving me alone dumbfounded.

What in this world can be darker than night?? 🖤🖤 🖤🖤 🖤🖤 🖤🖤 🖤🖤 🖤🖤 🖤 She takes three slow steps towards us and looks up to him right in the eyes... "You are Kolawole David Dolapo. My son! the heir to the House of Davies." she darts her eyes to me then back to him "And you will not settle for less!!" I was bitter and awestruck, speechless at the same time. I couldn't cry anymore, my tears already vain. He grits his teeth and folds his fists tighter "Mom I can't believe you are saying this" he yells "Do not walk out on me Kola" she says knowing that's the next thing he was going to do. He takes my hand and turn to leave "if you take one more step with that girl, consider yourself as not my son anymore Kola" she yelled through. He stopped in his pace without turning back "I never took you as a mom anyways, you never treated me as one" he says and heads back to his car. I could hear his mom breakdown behind us.

"Help me tighten this?" Her voice trembles as she turns her bare back to the doorway. Calloused fingers brush her spine – but it’s not her stepmother. It’s Asher Voss, SU’s star quarterback and her new stepbrother, smirking in the mirror， "Next time you mistake me for Mom..." His breath scorches her ear. "...I’ll leave a real mark." To survive the sweltering New York summer before college, Wendy Wu makes a deal with Asher: Act like strangers once school starts. He’ll remain the untouchable quarterback; she’ll be just another exchange student. No eye contact. No acknowledgement. Ever. But when her father’s long hauls and her stepmother’s busy schedule force Asher into babysitting duty, the lines blur: In the kitchen, he catches her weeping over a shelter documentary and lifts her against his sweat-drenched chest. Garage doors rattle open – his grip tightens: "Hold on. Unless you want them to see you like this." At a party, her friend spots a cherry hair tie on his wrist before he drags her into a dark hallway: "You didn’t want to see me?" His whiskey-laced kiss brands her lips. "Yet your eyes undressed me all night." In a restaurant, a rival girl glares through the window. He traps Wendy’s thigh under the table， "Call me ‘brother’ and I’ll save you."  Their secret collapses. Wendy ends it, and he freezes her out in public， "Do I know you?" Until a rain-lashed night when Ahser, drenched and desperate, pins her to the wall， "Don’t tell me you do not regret the breakup" His teeth find her collarbone. "I have to admit it-- I miss you." Can a love forged in stolen touches survive the spotlight? Or will their step-sibling bond shatter them both?
