Tayla's life should have been full of adventure and battle, and it would have been had she not failed her Crest Champion test a year prior. Now she's stuck at her aunt's herbalist shop, selling potions to the very ranks she once dreamed to join. And her town has just become a hot spot for Crest Champions everywhere. The once-bound dragon Zyrel has awakened after a century of slumber, and he draws dangerous monsters to his cage. The Crest Champions must kill him before he can finally be freed. Tayla plans to keep her head down and avoid the constant reminder of her failed dream, but that changes when an alicorn appears in her garden, claiming they must join forces and release Zyrel before it's too late. There's something wrong with the story of Zyrel's imprisonment, and to uncover the truth, Tayla must join a familiar-and loathsome-face from her Academy days. Dangers await, but the greatest threat she finds in the woods won't be the prowling beasts. It will be herself. -- Shout out to @raizelrose3 for the absolutely amazing cover!!

She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation. *** In a world swallowed by the Ever-Dark, Iva Vernigora is nothing more than a lowly servant in the house of the cruel Voivode Yakub Ivanov, Duke of Highroot. But when Voivode blackmails her with the lives of her parents, Iva is forced to pretend she's his daughter, as she infiltrates the royal academy of magic - Kolegium. Voivode Yakub's order is absolute: poison the Prince Konstantin Veliki. Prince Konstantin is the heir to the throne, the last of the line of Dragons - a Zmey warrior of light, who was blessed with a dragon-shifting gift. At a first glance, he is nothing but a smug, pompous royal, and everything Iva is supposed to hate. Yet every touch, and every shared lesson at Kolegium blurs the line between the enemy she must kill and the man she is beginning to crave. While Iva stalks her prey as a knife in the dark, waiting for the chance to extinguish Konstantin's light, she discovers that the dragon everyone fears is the only thing standing between humanity and the void. As the Ever-Dark Shades rise, Iva must make an impossible choice. Will she carry out her sinister orders and secure her parents' freedom, or will she stand by the Dragon in the battle for the world's last light? *** The Shades are coming. The Dragons are falling. And the Eternal Spark is waiting for its host. © 2026 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompts: 97.

*Dark fantasy romance. Heavy themes (weaponized religion, coercive control, abuse, violence). Morally gray power dynamics. Child endangerment and distress. Read with care.* Lydia Baylor has learned that survival is simple: obey, endure, and stay silent. On the Mortal Isle, witches are punished in public, girls are traded in marriage, and devotion to the gods is enforced at the end of a brand. As the Lord-Bishop's daughter, Lydia is expected to smile through it all, even as her body fails her and her future is sold piece by piece. But something is wrong with Lydia. The fainting spells. The dreams. The necklace she never removes. When immortals arrive from the Seelie court, fae and shifter alike, Lydia becomes caught between forces far older and far crueler than her father's rule. And for the first time, obedience may no longer keep her safe. This is a dark, slow-burn fantasy romance featuring political oppression, forbidden magic, and a woman forced to decide whether survival is worth the cost of her silence. For readers who prefer a gothic atmosphere, morally grey power, and darkness with purpose.

Haunted by visions that bleed into reality and a beast buried deep within her mind, Thessaly's life fractures in a single night. What begins as survival draws her into a lethal game between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, the gods who have abandoned them, and a prophecy whispering of a power the world believed long dead and never meant to return. Pulled into treacherous alliances and ancient politics, Thessaly's magic awakens faster than she can control it, clawing at her humanity each time she gives it voice. Her war is personal and danger often walks beside desire. Riven, heir to the Seelie Court, was forged between two worlds. Born into a lineage the Courts deny and shaped by a past whose cruelty taught him to bury every softness, he learned early that loyalty is earned in blood and trust is a luxury he cannot afford. Yet, Thessaly breaches every wall he's built. Drawn to her defiance and the beast curling beneath her skin, he becomes both her sharpest adversary and her most relentless protector as distrust ignites into a dangerous, forbidden spark. But fate is never singular. Valen, marked by loss and carrying a power of his own, walks a quieter, bloodstained path-one tangled with sacrifice, survival, and truths some would rather remain buried. His choices may tip the balance of a war he never asked to fight. As prophecy tightens its grip and loyalties fracture, Thessaly must decide what she is willing to sacrifice -- power, love, or herself entirely. Because if the prophecy is right, her rise may save the realms . . . or shatter them beyond repair. ~~~~~~ Arising Fate is intended for an adult audience. The Mature rating reflects the presence of explicit themes, violence, psychological intensity, and sensual content, woven naturally into the plot in a manner similar to adult fantasy romance. This is an unedited first draft.

In Qaranlıq, hope is dead. A Zoneplex ruled by Demons, Djinn, and the Red Stone: Ghazayam. A world where dragons and mages are nothing more than slaves. An empire that devours the weak. Here, women are not seen as people but as possessions, sexual trophies: claimed, traded, and discarded at the whims of monsters. Some are vessels for heirs, others playthings for cruel masters, and a rare few, like her, are something far worse: a prize worth starting a war over. A tyrant wants to defile her. A king wants to breed her. A mage wants to protect her. She was never meant to survive, but blood remembers what the mind forgets, and soon, they will all learn; a caged thing does not forget the taste of freedom. And when the chains break, the world will bleed. TRIGGER WARNING; SEXUAL ASSAULT, SATANISM, DARK THEMES.

One job. One heist. One shattering connection. Lyra is a changeling- a human adopted by the wildlands themselves, abandoned as a child to die in the forests outside the frigid Moon Court and raised by magic instead. Accepted neither as a fae citizen nor a human one, changelings are often driven to thievery to survive, and Lyra is no exception. With her small family in turmoil and her brother wasting away from a strange sickness causing his veins to turn dark, she's desperate for solutions... and money to pay for her brother's care. However, when she tries to rob the vaults at the Moon Court castle for a mysterious employer offering a paycheck big enough to change her whole world, Lyra finds herself in significantly more trouble than she asked for-- hearing whispers from an ancient Oracle, averting prophecies at every turn, and wrapped in a messy fate bond with a king as cold and merciless as the frozen landscape of the Moon Court itself.
