When the fiercely independent Eloise Bridgerton finally makes her long-delayed debut into society, the ton waits with bated breath to see which suitor will dare attempt to win her heart. But Eloise has made one thing abundantly clear-she has no interest in marriage, courtship, or any of the pomp that comes with it. Enter Viscount Cedric Lancaster: a charming, scandalous rake with a reputation as dazzling as his smile. Bored by the Season's predictability, Cedric and his equally rakish friends make a wager-he must accomplish the impossible: swoon Miss Bridgerton. But what begins as a game quickly becomes far more complicated. Cedric didn't count on Eloise's wit, her fire, or the way she sees through his carefully crafted mask. And to make matters worse, her fiercely protective brother Anthony Bridgerton will stop at nothing to keep men like Cedric far from his sister. As Cedric finds himself tangled in a web of banter, desire, and unexpected affection, he must decide if he's still playing the game-or if he's already lost his heart. Because the greatest scandal of all? Falling truly, deeply in love.

Seven years after the tragic loss of his beloved wife, Prince Charles-Queen Charlotte's youngest and most cherished son-returns to England with his two young daughters and a heart shrouded in grief. Dubbed the "Widowed Prince" by the public, he has sworn never to love again... until fate intervenes in the most unexpected of places. While wandering a bustling London market, the mischievous princesses slip away from their guards-only to be rescued by Francesca Bridgerton, a poised yet quietly yearning young woman from a prominent family. In the midst of chaos, Francesca offers calm, kindness, and safety-winning the hearts of the girls... and unknowingly capturing the attention of their grieving father. But Charles resists. Bound by memory, duty, and guilt, he fights his growing feelings for Francesca. The princesses, however, have other plans-and enlist the formidable Queen Charlotte in their quiet campaign to bring joy back into their father's life. As royal expectations collide with forbidden affection, Francesca must decide if she's willing to risk her heart-and her freedom-for a life inside the gilded world of royalty. At the emotional crossroads of grief and healing, Prince Charles must make a choice: remain loyal to the shadows of his past... or embrace a second chance at love, family, and a future he never dared imagine.

Arturo Ragnarson was born as Theodric of Bebbanburg, the youngest of the children of Lord Uhtred. Theodric grew up with not much love or care from his father. He was the last-born son and from a early age knew life would not give him much because of that, but he was fierce and aggressive against those who wish to go against him. And so with 8 years old when the Danes came to invade his father's lands, Theodric snuck out in the night with his older Brother who had just been named Uhtred to help aid their father in battle. Young Theodric showed what he was made of that day, and Earl Ragnarson took a liking to him..... but when the day came that they could be ransomed back to their uncle it was not Earl Ragnar who spoke up to buy Theodric it was Young Ragnar, and from that day Theodric of Bebbanburg became Arturo Ragnarson, son of Ragnar Ragnarson. What place will Arturo take in the Danish Invasions? Will he as his brother Uhtred be swayed towards the side of the Saxons or will he stay true to what his father has been teaching him for years? That the only things he could ever have, are those he takes for himself.

He never intended to fall in love. Certainly not with her. Frederick Bridgerton, the soft-spoken and elusive twin of Francesca Bridgerton, has always preferred shadows to candlelight, the quiet forge to a crowded ballroom. A scholar, a metalsmith, and wholly uninterested in the season's spectacles, he becomes an unwilling participant in society once his twin is declared this year's diamond. When his path crosses with Theodora Wexley-sharp, guarded, and utterly uninterested in marriage-Frederick finds himself unraveling. She is the sister of a former rival, a reluctant debutant, and entirely wrong for a Bridgerton. And yet, she may be the only person who truly hears him. As the ton watches, secrets burn, letters smolder, and two people unused to the spotlight may have to risk everything for a future neither expected. Because sometimes, the loudest love stories are the quietest ones of all.

When the king of Aizasea is assassinated, eighteen-year-old Celvene is wise enough to keep her head down after witnessing the attack. As a circus mage, she has no business in politics - until the next ruler is selected by ritual, and Celvene is the sole soul capable of wielding the king's sword. Declared the destined queen, Celvene expects to rise... but her kingdom has other plans. Instead of honoring the ritual, the brutish general Aleksandr brands her an upstart peasant and forces her into the castle as a servant, hoping she'll disappear quietly. With their mortal enemy continuing to strike the city, the people yearn for a more ruthless leader, and Aleksandr is hellbent on seizing the crown for himself. On top of that, forbidden and deadly magic begins to blossom in Celvene's heart, threatening to unravel all she holds dear. The magic corrupts her mind and drives her to acts she commits against her will, tainting her already struggling reputation. And among the enemy ranks stands her childhood best friend, fighting for the other side of the war. Facing her again is a complication Celvene can't ignore. As tensions rise and the horrors of war unfold, Celvene uncovers twisted secrets that could spell the death of her city. Will she survive long enough to fulfill her destiny as queen, or will the shadows of dark magic and war consume her? BY ROYAL DECREE: ✓ Circus-mage underdog protagonist ✓ Grumpy sapphic love interest with a heart of gold ✓ Corruption magic fueled by famine ✓ Iconic, sassy non-binary mentor ✓ Worldbuilding inspired by the Four Horsemen ✓ Twists and turns galore FEATURED: ♛ @Fantasy's Epic/High Fantasy
