All I Need ✔️ by Chronically-Chaotic

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

Throne of the Everflame by GBDawnthorn

They called her cursed. They didn't know she was worse. Sold by her own mother at seven years old, Sayuri grew up in chains - first in a brothel, then in the grip of men who treated her life as currency. When fire and steel took that world from her, she thought she might finally be free. Instead, she found herself in a place where power has rules, and weakness has a price: Dawn Academy, home of the world's most dangerous warriors. Sayuri wants nothing to do with heroes or chosen ones. She wants to survive. But survival means mastering the Veil - a magic so feared that most people won't even speak its name. It means enduring brutal Trials that leave students broken... or dead. It means facing Elessa, the rival who refuses to be outdone. And it means navigating the fragile trust of Lyra and Korrin, the only people who might actually care whether she lives. When a mission goes wrong and a mountain falls, Sayuri's secret threatens to burn through every wall she's built around herself. Whispers spread. The Council watches. And enemies - both human and not - are beginning to see her as something more than a girl. In a world where control is power and mercy is weakness, Sayuri must decide whether she'll keep running from the darkness inside her... or unleash it. Friendship, rivalry, and raw survival collide in this brutal academy fantasy where every choice costs blood, and every victory demands a piece of your soul.

"I Believe In You" by egun_kgun

Parians Secrets by a4xcrx

Paria Academy - Where Forsaken Remains Axolotl controls fire and ice, keeping her distance from everyone-but her silence hides guilt and pain. Milea bends gravity, strong and determined, yet quietly jealous of what she can't have. Rift wields electricity, fierce and protective, but his anger can't hide his heart. Cydry flows like water, calm and gentle, but stronger than anyone realizes. After the Parians Ball, the Academy changes. A blackout swallows the hall, dozens vanish, and when it's over-Axolotl is the only one left standing. Now, everyone turns against her. Betrayal, secrets, and power collide. The missing aren't gone. The Sentinels aren't what they seem. And the ones who were forsaken... may hold the fate of the world in their hands. In Paria Academy, trust is fragile, love is dangerous, and surviving may cost everything.

For Her Favor by BattleOfHearts

"This man had sought revenge for me and made a spectacle for it. He had protected my crown. He also answered my questions vaguely and I was nowhere closer to figuring him out than when he first arrived, but I was drawn to him. Like an addict to a drug, damn I wanted to be close to him. I wanted his touch. There was no sane explanation for it, it was just a want, a need." Princess Esme was never supposed to be Queen, but when tradgedy strikes in her Fae kingdom, she is forced to bear the crown. In Amoria, the Kingdom of Love and Life, she must battle with the patriarchy now to keep it. They want a king on the throne and she wants a chance at true love like the rest of her people. To placate the nobles in her kingdom that have a grip on her power, she agrees to the Battle of Hearts-a competition where eligible princes from other kingdoms compete for her favor and to be named king. Everything Esme knows is about to be challenged and not everything will be as it seems. In the end she'll have to choose; her kingdom or her heart.
