Shattered Empires Novels & Stories

Chapter 50: The Empire of the Wild The golden embers of the shattered war pavilion slowly died into black ash, scattering across the frozen earth floorboards under the rhythmic, freezing blast of the canyon wind. The silence that gripped the base of the Dragon’s-Tooth Pass was no longer the tense, suffocating quiet of a cornered beast; it was the absolute, heavy stillness of a territory that had just been thoroughly, permanently conquered. Across the sprawling bone-white granite plains stretching out from the Great Divide, thousands of rogue coalition warriors sat directly in the flint-strewn dirt, their crude leather shields and notched falchions piled into massive, silent mounds along the

My whole body trembled as reality crashed in. Alexander reached for me, pulling me close. “It’s over,” he whispered. I buried my face in his chest, heart pounding so hard it hurt. “Is it?” He held me tighter. “It will be.” Outside, sirens wailed again. The city was awake. The empire had finally crumbled—and in its ruins, maybe we could finally start over.

Sage's POV The shockwave rippled through the car, shaking the frame, rattling the windows. The vehicle shuddered but held. Good thing it was built strong, military grade, designed to withstand more than just a bumpy road. Debris rained down on the roof, clattering like hailstones, and I ducked my head on instinct, waiting for the sound to stop. What was happening? We were under attack. Here, in broad daylight.

Breath coming in short, desperate pants. “Come on,” he murmured. “Give it to me. Let go.” I shattered. Not just an orgasm—an explosion. Liquid heat gushed out around his fingers, around his cock.

“They’re moving faster than I expected.” The advisor frowned. “Is that a problem?” Adrian shook his head. “No.” “It’s perfect.” Because when kings start attacking each other… Empires fall faster. And Adrian Moretti planned to be the one left standing when the dust settled.

I read until the sun came up and my tears ran dry. And I understood, finally, why Dante Marchetti's eyes were so cold. He'd married the daughter of his nightmares. And now we were both trapped in a house built on lies and blood.

Chapter 86 – Rebuilding Navarro Althea POV Rebuilding is never as clean as destruction. That was the first truth I learned after Damian’s death. People think rebuilding means starting over—fresh walls, new paint, a clean foundation. But Navarro Enterprises wasn’t a collapsed building. It was a house still standing, its cracks hidden beneath polished marble floors and legacy portraits. The damage lived inside the structure, woven into decisions, contracts, and unspoken rules that had governed the company for decades.

The only thing the Ardians lost in conquering the lost empire was their lives. Why is Ard the lost empire? How did it shatter? When did greed take the place of kindness? Where did it start? And who ended the war of means? But, those who borned and died were not ready to be part of the soil again. Reincarnation, the carved scripture and the sculpture of this unrealistic but real world would not allow the limits of the creations and their destruction as well.
