Every night since Elijah Woodscroft was six years old, he saw her. She'd sneak up to the roof, happy and carefree. Every night, Elijah fell in love with her a little bit more. There was only one problem: she was a princess and he was a commoner struggling under the harsh reign of King Charles Silvaki. Soon, he joins a rebel group trying to take him down, but his fascination with Lilith interferes with everything.

Every night since Princess Lilith Lorraine of house Silvaki, third in line to the throne, was five years old, she's climbed up to the roof of the castle. At first it was simply because she was bored and wanted to play more imaginative games than what she could in her playroom, but over the years it became a safehaven from her abusive father, the king. She hates her father, but loves him too. Her conflicting emotions alter her entire life.

As soon as Elijah is old enough, he gets a job at the palace working for the man he despises and the woman he loves. He can't help but wonder: will his love for Lilith and loyalty to the rebels conflict? Will his life ever make sense again?

A Million Whispers❤️ by BeckyMerari1909
13 parts Ongoing
A Million Whispers The wind carried secrets through the valleys of Velmora, each whisper threading itself into the fabric of a kingdom on the edge of ruin. It was said that if one stood still enough in the palace gardens, they could hear the voices of the past-echoes of lost loves, broken oaths, and the quiet desperation of those bound by duty. Princess Evelyne had listened to those whispers all her life, and now, as she stood on the marble balcony overlooking the gilded city, she wondered if her own voice would soon be among them. Her father, King Aldric, was a ruler of iron will and heavy expectations. The crown prince of the enemy kingdom, Kieran Valcour, had arrived at court, his presence a reminder of the treaty forged in desperation-an alliance that would be sealed with Evelyne's hand in marriage. She had always known she would be a pawn in the game of politics, but she never expected her heart to rebel against her fate. Beyond the palace walls, in the dense forests where the kingdom's heartbeat pulsed strongest, another whisper stirred. A boy with storm-gray eyes and a past he refused to remember was coming for her. His name was Rylen, and though Evelyne did not yet know him, their destinies were tangled in ways neither could foresee. War brewed on the horizon. Love, duty, and fate would collide. And in a world where a single whisper could start a war or heal a heart, Evelyne would have to decide which voices to follow-those of the past, or the call of her own soul.

**Coming to KU in January 2026** Sometimes fate brings you exactly what you need before you even realize it. *** Brigid Kelly has lost everything and no amount of spells or wishes stopped it. After her Gran fell ill and passed away, Brigid wasn't able to keep her grandmother's metaphysical shop going. With everything crashing down around her, Brigid buys a one-way ticket to the land of her ancestors, hoping to find solace in the old cabin where her Gran grew up. Ireland is everything she was always told it was and then some. As she sorts out the slowly declining house in the woods, she's thrust into the path of handsome Torin Boyle by circumstance. The walls she's built up around her heart are slowly chipped away as Torin reveals pieces of himself as well, opening not only his home but his heart too. Torin Boyle has spent the last thirty-odd years living in the North of Ireland, running through the rolling hills with his friends. As a pack of wolf Shifters in a country that has no natural wolves, Torin has learned to keep a tap on his inner emotions to protect those he loves. But his homeland is dying; small patches of forest turning brown and dry. When a witch appears on his family's land out of nowhere, he's concerned that the witch is to cause for what's been happening to the land. He never expected to feel pulled into her orbit so completely. Brigid's idyllic life comes to a halt when Torin's father falls ill, closely followed by other members of the Shifter's family. The land around them - the very land where Brigid's ancestors lived - is dying. If Brigid and Torin can't figure out how to fix it, she might not be the only one losing those she loves. **Trigger Warnings - mentions of hospitals and death/cancer; loosing loved ones**

In a kingdom built on beauty called Lilith Kingdom there was once a soldier named Aristide. As strong as steel, half as large as a corn stalk, and just the sight of him caused young maidens to faint in the streets. Everybody knew what he looked like, but never got to know him personally. Some people said he was nice, others said he was cold, the truth was no one knew. Everyone said, You're so young and handsome, why don't you find yourself a girl to be your wife, but he never answered. No one knew that Aristide was looking for someone who loved him not because of his appearance but because of his personality. He was trying to find someone who knew when his birthday was, someone who knew his name. What he didn't know was that the love he was seeking was just as lost as he was in the deserted lands not that far away. Acacia, a beautiful girl with a scarred face, her parents named her Acacia, which means abandoned. The wasteland is the place where every person who was "DEFECTIVE" was placed. Acacia was a beautiful girl who was inquisitive, she was always looking for an adventure or occasionally looking for a little trouble. She was 17 with beautiful long locks of silk chestnut colored hair and bronzed skin but a small scar on her left eye. One problem was that Acacia was a female and her birthday was 2 months away. The law of the wasteland is that all females must be wed at the age 18. Acacia loves no one other than her adoptive father because in the wasteland most people don't love at all and think of themselves to be a curse. She says she would need more time but, how will she get the time to find that love. Let's begin the story.

The Thorn on the Roses

22 parts Complete Mature

A Queen forged in blood. A kingdom built on lies. A love doomed to the flames. Asterin Anthea was supposed to be dead. Instead, she stands in the heart of the kingdom that stole everything from her, wearing a name that isn't hers, playing a game designed to destroy her. Disguised as Princess Lorelei Blackwater, she enters the deadly Trials of Tavasz-a brutal competition where the strongest contender will win the hand of Prince Sebastian Rose and the crown of the kingdom that murdered her family. But Asterin has no intention of being a wife. She has come to reclaim what was stolen. To take back Tavasz. To bring down King Darian Rose and his bloodstained reign from the inside. With every trial, the court watches. The nobles whisper. The enemies lurking in the shadows grow restless. And then there's Cassian-her oldest friend, her fiercest protector, the boy who would burn the world down for her if she asked. But even he cannot save her from the weight of what she must do. As the trials push her to the brink, Asterin finds herself trapped in a tangled web of power and deception-one woven by Sebastian himself. The prince is not the foolish, arrogant boy she expected. He is clever. Dangerous. And worst of all, he sees her. When the final trial demands the ultimate sacrifice, Asterin must decide: Will she become the Queen they want her to be? Or the monster they never saw coming?
