Don't get frostbitten while reading this dark, gripping, passionate retelling of Snow White. Icelyn, the princess of the Winter Realm, is being used as a tether to unite the Winter and Summer Realms in an upcoming war. As a woman, she is seen as nothing more than chattel instead of the strong warrior she truly is. She longs to prove her worth to her father and people, but how do you accomplish that if never given a chance? When Icelyn's powers continue to strengthen, her evil stepmother decides that marrying her off may not be enough to rid the thorn in her side and takes a more drastic approach. For Icelyn, there is danger around every corner; even the mirrors have ears. To complicate matters, Icelyn learns that she is the fated mate of the King of the Night Realm, a wicked and unseelie fae that will do anything to claim what is rightfully his... When he comes to collect her, her entire world is turned upside down. Her fate was questionable in the Winter Realm, but how will she ever survive in a court of nightmares and ruin? *** She was mine, and it was about time they learned that. I have sat by idly for years, knowing she belonged to me, and yet, I did nothing about it. I did not want a mate, they were a weakness I could not afford, but now they were trying to join her with another, and there was no way I would allow that. "Ready or not, my little snowflake, here I come."

Like many low elves in the kingdom of Edresh, Morana was orphaned as a child during the war against neighboring Araphel. But Morana is more fortunate than most, and is taken to live in the palace as a companion to a captive princess, Astreia. She and Astreia become like sisters, and Morana nurses a tension-filled friendship with the sometimes cruel, but always charming High Elf Prince Tievel. But even with the war over, all is not well in Edresh. A curse spreads through the land, raising ghouls and monsters and stealing the lives of the unborn. Yet it is ignored by the High Elf nobility, whose immortality renders such concerns beneath them. Then, the king-Tievel's grandfather-is killed by a magical Araphelian assassin known as a Reaper. When Morana encounters the Reaper as he's making his escape, he reveals a truth that Morana had long-denied: she is one of the last Deathsingers, a wielder of the very same forbidden magic that inspired the king's savage assault on Araphel. Furthermore, her ability to Sing away immortality might just be the key to stopping the horrors slowly consuming their world... But only if she is willing to condemn those like her dear Tievel, who have only ever known eternal life, to the cold permanence of death. To right the wrongs of long ago and prevent the world's unraveling, Morana must dive head first into the sort of danger she's always avoided and venture into Araphel with her friends. But the Reaper is always close behind, a constant reminder of both what Morana is and the impossible sacrifice she might be called upon to make... Season 1 on The Deathsinger WARNING: This story contains depictions of violence and depictions of sexual assault that may not be suitable for some readers.

*𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔* 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒅-𝑩𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑬𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅 I felt his warm breath as it caressed my ear, causing a shiver to crawl down my spine as he whispered, "So it seems you have been having quite the time with my brother tonight, Miss Beckett." I looked up horrified to meet his cold blue eyes as they peered down at me, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing some of his beautifully white teeth. "I beg your forgiveness, My prince. I did not mean to offend you by accepting your brother's invitation to dance." I swallowed hard, trying to fight the lump of fear that had started to build in my throat, "I did not think I was allowed to decline." Prince Thomas let out a little chuckle, "Oh, I am not mad at you, Emma." I shivered when my name left his lips, "You have just piqued my interest, that is all." 𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 After the King of Myrce announces the commencement of a new event called the Courting, where nobles are summoned to compete against one another for a chance to wed a chosen member of the royal family, for some unknown reason Emma's parents demand she attend in her sister's stead. Thinking they have her on a tight leash, she is instructed not to seduce the prince and return home after making it to the final five. However, after enduring years of abuse and longing for freedom, Emma has other plans. She intends to win and by any means necessary.

▪️FANTASY ROMANCE▪️ "I didn't know that I had the right to say your name." "You don't and yet..." The Orc King's words trailed off, his breath coming out in a rough pant. I found myself extremely curious about what he was going to say, so I bravely tried to get him to continue. "And yet?" I probed. "And yet, I find myself intrigued about what it would sound like coming from that insolent mouth of yours." **** Izara was not very happy to find out that she was to be sent to the Orc King as tribute, an apology for something her brother did. Not being one to allow fate to dictate her life, she figured that she could make the most of it. Having always been curious about the Orcs, she is eager to live among them. King Baldur, however, does not share her enthusiasm, finding humans to be selfish and untrustworthy. He does not hold back, and uses every available opportunity to remind her of such. Unfortunately for him, Izara sees this as a challenge and vows to prove her worth. When an incident in the forest leaves King Baldur seriously injured, he quickly realises that he misjudged Izara and even finds himself becoming attracted to her in ways that he never anticipated. There is only one problem though, the Orc King isn't called Baldur the Butcher for nothing. Can he find it in himself to lower his guard around Izara or will she become the next victim of his blade? 🔅Rated R: Contains thematic issues, adult language, MATURE sexual content, violence and possible triggers. ------------------------------------------------- Cover Photo: Edited by @KimberlyTanithMarie using an image generated from Midjourney © All rights reserved 2023 I DO NOT consent to my story being translated, copied or otherwise reproduced by anyone.

Pokračování příběhu Dostatečně krásná: Vybraná! Hrozí nepochopení děje a souvislostí. Sedm je pryč. Dvacet zbývá. Jak se jejich počet snižuje, objevují se lidé, kteří veřejně proti tradici Zápisu vystupují. Na zámku jsou stanovena bezpečností opatření a každé z vybraných dívek je přidělena stráž. Z nějakého důvodu se zájem o bezpečí dívek týká především jedné z nich. Té, která o to absolutně nestojí. V ohrožení jsou především životy vybraných, které jsou nuceny zámek opustit. Za hradbami je ochrání stráž. Kdo se o ně ovšem postará, když se vrátí domů? Útoky narůstají, strach se šíří a s ním se zvětšují obavy obou princů. Oba zodpovídají za životy dívek, jež jsou na zámku čestnými hosty. Jeden život je princům ovšem dražší, než ty ostatní. Minimálně jednomu z nich. A tak se z hosta stává vězeň. Vězeň, který dělá vše proto, aby se ze spárů svého věznitele dostal. Ptáček je lapen v kleci, z níž není úniku. Co na tom, že je ta klec zlatá. Stále je to jen klec.

Království rozděleno na devět oblastí. Každá je jiná, stejně jako obyvatelé. Něčím výjimečná. Mír mezi nimi udržuje královský pár, jež má čtyři potomky. Podle tradice nejstarší syn usedne po smrti svých rodičů na trůn, zatímco všichni mladší synové si musí zvolit za ženu jednu z obyčejných dívek. V roce dvacátých narozenin druhorozeného královského potomka je vyhlášen Zápis, jehož se musí zúčastnit všechny mladé svobodné dívky, jež mají věk na vdávání. Mezi nimi je i Kristin Pennerová, pro níž je podle řečí lidí možnost být vybraná zapovězená. Dívka totiž nepochází z vyhrazené rodiny, což znamená, že její předkové nebyli čistě ze sedmé Oblasti. Tmavovláska se už na první pohled liší. Zvláště díky svým výrazným oříškovým očím, jež sdílí tři její sourozenci ze šesti. Oči nejsou to jediné, čím se vymyká. Všechny tyto věci ji činí výjimečnou, unikátní ale především jinou. Není dokonalým zástupcem sedmé Oblasti. Alespoň podle některých. V dalekém a pro mnohé nepřístupném zámku, se však najde někdo, kdo v ní uvidí mnohem víc. Někdo, kdo se jí rozhodne dát šanci utkat se o prince s dalšími dvaceti šesti dívkami. Dostane šanci, o kterou nestojí. Odmítnout však není možné a tak se jedna z nejméně pravděpodobných možností ocitá na královském dvoře. Na místě, jež jí nabízí mnohem víc, než si dokázala představit.

A on,Lucifer, již mnohá staletí, ba tisíciletí čeká, až se objeví ta jediná, která v něm dokáže znovu vidět a probudit to, co tehdy ztratil.
