The Queen: Kings of Castle


Book Description

The crown weighs heavy on my head, and the Castle University’s ivy-clad walls have become a gilded cage. As the dust settles from betrayal and bloodshed, I stand amidst the wreckage, not just as a mafia heiress, but as the Queen in a game where hearts are for the taking and every move could be a deadly trap. The men I've let into my heart are the pillars of my reign. My strength. My weakness. In a world where loyalty is measured in blood, we stand united, because when the swords are drawn and alliances shatter, it's not just my love I'll fight for—it's their lives, and the future of an empire built on a legacy of our pasts. The gambit is set, the players ready, and I must make my move. In this war of intrigue and danger, it's not just about winning—it's about surviving. This is a dark academia reverse harem with plenty of TWs. This takes place in an entirely fictional world set in the UK. This is the second book of three in the Kings of Castle.

Japan


Book Description

Japan: Courts and Culture tells the story of three centuries of British royal contact with Japan, from 1603 to c.1937, when the exchange of exquisite works of art was central to both diplomatic relations and cultural communication. With discussions of courtly rituals, trade relationships, treaties, and other matters of concern between the two nations, this book provides important historical and political context in addition to granting a new look at the works of art in question. Featuring new research on previously unpublished works, including porcelain, lacquer, armor, embroidery, metalwork, and works on paper, this book showcases the unparalleled craftsmanship of these objects, and the local materials, techniques, and traditions behind them. Japan: Courts and Culture is published to accompany a spectacular exhibition of the same name, which opens at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace, in June 2020. The book's stunning photography, contextual essays, and historical insights offer a highly visual record of a royal narrative and history that has not yet been widely documented.










The Queen Who Lost Her Castle


Book Description

The Queen Who Lost Her Castle is a mythical story about Queen Jacqueline of Heart Land and her quest to have the people of Heart Land love and accept her as much as they do their king. Queen Jacqueline plans an enormous party for the entire kingdom and totally fails. She is thrown out of the castle by the King and can only return to the castle and her king when she returns with the Five Laws of Light. She endures a difficult journey to Wise Dome to seek the Sorceress of the Shadow Self. The Sorceress holds the keys to the inner caves where the Five Laws of Light are protected. Jacqueline experiences a total change in her outer appearance, her belief systems in her quest for understanding her true role in life. The end of the story finds her standing at the gates of the castle with the Five Laws of Light. No one recognizes her for her beauty, her heart, her clothes, her jewels or her makeup; but rather for her heart. The story is a wonderful teaching tool for children in learning that being accepted must begin in loving yourself for WHO you are, not what you have. A surprise ending that will delight you!
