~In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Valkyries also appear as women with tremendous beauty, lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty. ~ After hearing of a weapon of mass destruction that was falling into the wrong hands on one of the Republic's planets, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his former padawan Anakin Skywalker are sent to Valeria to restore peace on the former quiet and peacefull planet. It is only after they capture the rebel's leader, a woman called Lyanna, that they discover that there is much more behind the so called 'civil war'. Some reviews: This is heartbreakingly beautiful. I love every part of this story, from the descriptions to the references. It's humorous and dramatic, tragic and fiery. I love this story so much oh my god 🥺 this story is so different than your usual fanfiction in all the best ways- the heroine is strong and can take care of herself, but she has flaws and she's not a mary sue. A developed world besides just the stuff shown in the story, complicated and memorable characters, beautiful writing, this story is just the best <3 Y e s No other words can describe this book because I'd have to use them all (Not your basic "love at first sight" story where there is no or rarely a mention of the Jedi's rules and Obi-Wan's commitment to them. (Because let's be honest here, it's almost impossible to make him ignore the rules) Plus, besides the romance, there is much more in this story and an actual plotline. So don't expect any rainbows, butterflies and love-sick puppies! ) Cover made by me

The night Kylo Ren was born, he destroyed half of the Jedi Knights training under Luke Skywalker. The other half he gave a tantalizing offer: join him and live, or die alongside their brethren. For many of them the choice was easy: Salvation. Over the years those who joined him died off: they tried to over throw him or showed a weakness that was exploited. All except Serena. She fell under Kylo's wing and latched on. They grew together, gained power together, fought side by side as equals, and friends. Serena was his confidant, she was the whisper in his ear. For that reason, she was even more terrorizing than Kylo Ren himself. She stayed with him despite all he had done- all that he had made her do. She knew nothing else, only him, only the First Order. Until she met the Resistance's Best Pilot, and found a way out.

Asya is the most promising ballerina the Royal Ballet has seen in years. Wildly ambitious, back-breakingly disciplined, and immensely driven, she has only one objective: prima ballerina. There is nothing she won't do to earn this once-in-a-generation title. But behind her ballerina grace she hides dark secrets of an inhumanly strict mother, pushing her body to cruel limits, and serial hookups with male dancers. Roman Zharnov is the star of the Russian ballet: young, successful, arrogant, beautiful, and worst of all, talented. He's come to London to clean up his reputation after a drug scandal nearly cost him his career. At the Royal Opera House he crosses paths with Asya, a nineteen-year-old soloist with spitfire in her eyes and a talent to match his own. Roman is convinced he's found the one ballerina that can keep up with him and his relentless work ethic, but Asya has a partner, and she wants to stay far away from the Russian prodigy with a reputation that won't seem to leave him alone. In the competitive world of classical ballet Asya is climbing the ranks and building a name for herself, but all the while she is playing a dangerous game behind the curtain. Roman is adamant they'd be a reverential on-stage match, but will soon find out that when it comes to Asya Radzevich, it's prima or nothing. • 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 by the amazing @mahgadahling • 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑 Creature's plot is not intended for a young audience.
