Reneira Dorient is a precious princess with a dangerous secret -- she was born with magic, a power that is taboo in the seven kingdoms and punishable by death. The royal family locked away her power, but the King had a darker plan: he forced her into marriage with the evil prince of Thegara, a ruthless barbarian rumored to have bathed in the blood of countless victims. The night the prince arrives to claim her, Reneira braces herself for the worst. But her new husband is a sweet torment, an immortal god-like being disguised in an impossibly beautiful human form. His every gaze feels like punishment, and his sinful aura tempts her in ways she never expected. Yet this god of lust refuses to touch her or accept her as his true wife. Resigned to her fate, Reneira hopes to make a home in the hell she was thrown into. But fate has other plans. When the prince finally decides to claim her completely, the woman who was forced into marriage discovers that the devil's son was always meant to be hers.

Magic broke the world once. A dead empire reached too far, tore something in the sky that never healed, and sent civilization back to the dark ages. Eons later, the scar remains, along with the monsters that came through it. A modern military officer opens his eyes in a ditch, in a dead man's body, in a region the kingdom uses as a dumping ground for its problems. He inherits a gutted city, a corrupt garrison, flooded mines, and a woman who can bend gravity with her bare hands. He also possesses something this world has never seen: knowledge of the industrial revolution that never happened here. The officer who was dumped in the Badlands decides that the revolution will happen now. As he rebuilds the city from nothing, confronts the corrupt forces that control the region, and introduces technologies that reshape the balance of power, the military officer discovers that the magic-scarred world is not just broken -- it is waiting for someone bold enough to fix it. The iron revolution begins with one man and a vision that this world has never imagined.

Zog the Red Dragon simply wanted to make a little cash. He carved runes into yo-yos so their tricks produced dazzling light effects, created trading cards that summoned holographic illusions, and handed a Zor a mana-powered electric guitar that sparked a rock-and-roll revolution. The dragon who refused to engage in mindless slaughter discovered a far more profitable path. Under Zog's influence, Dwarves and Elves willingly sat in the same room to play co-op games, while commoners and nobles wept together over the same soap operas. The Dragon-Slaying Knights rented dragons from Zog's talent agency to shoot their promotional videos. Before he realized it, this draconic anomaly had amassed a hoard of gold coins taller than a mountain. The Holy Church declared he was bewitching the minds of the masses, but the people firmly chose to stand by his side. Facing the completely isolated, century-old Pope, Zog smirked and delivered his verdict: "Culture Victory, kid." The red dragon lord who could have conquered the world with fire chose to conquer it with entertainment instead, and succeeded beyond any tyrant's wildest dreams.
