𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒅☑𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒚&𝒕𝒉𝒆𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕 "𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕?" After being trapped in the cursed town of Du Ciel for seven years, Isabelle's life was only going to get worse. Because she is turning eighteen, which puts her in danger of being sent in the next Offering to the Beast, her father pushes her to marry without love to save herself. However, since Isabelle is poor, and the other four girls that are of age happen to be from very prestigious families, she believes she will be sent by default. This leaves her with one of two choices: give up her freedom and marry without love to save herself, or risk being sent into the depths of the Castle where a monstrous Beast lurks and an unknown fate awaits her. But, what if the Beast was the least of her problems?

The Source (Creasan #1) by WillJaceDaemonPatch
20 parts Complete
In a world where dragons rule the sky and ogres walk the earth, a young woman leads a rebellion against the corrupt king in pursuit of answers and revenge. Eighteen-year-old Thea Wyvern has hated King Favian Lance of Creasan her entire life. It isn't a hard emotion to have when she has grown up witnessing murder in the streets and starvation in her family and friends. Raised in the rebellion known as The Source, Thea has been trained and conditioned to handle herself in battles of both violence and intellect. After the king executed someone very close to her, Thea has been working towards the king's demise as The Source's new leader. When an assassination attempt goes horribly wrong, Thea becomes the king's prisoner and is given a firsthand look at the people she has loathed her entire life. She takes note of the king's insecurity, the handsome Prince Fendrel Lance's carefully restrained demeanor, the abused look of Queen Ana, and the delicate balance of court life. Armed with this knowledge, she manages to escape the palace with a new plan to help her fellow citizens. If she can find Aestus, the dragon responsible for the founding of the kingdom, she might finally be able to overthrow the horrible king. It is a perilous and risky mission, but her fellow rebels agree to the plan. Joined by the prince whose motivations may only appear to be genuine, they head for The Forbidden Mountain, where Aestus is said to live. The rebels will have to fight against the mythical creatures of the forest, the weather, and their own prejudices. Meanwhile, the king and queen are caught in their own web of danger as Ana seeks safety away from her husband and the Lance family curse sends Favian spiraling into madness. The fate of the royal family, the people of Creasan, and The Source all rest on Thea's last-ditch plan, but her own trauma might very well be the largest threat to the mission.

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.

As a Cursed elf, one born with no magic, Edwyr has been forced to live among humans for over ten years. He doesn't mind his job of defending the town that he now lives in from beast attacks, and he gets along with most of the humans well enough, but he can never quite make the bitterness and resentment over being exiled go away. Life goes on as usual until a talented but inexperienced elf named Feyrith arrives and tells Edwyr that the High Elven Council wants him to help Feyrith on a quest. Despite his hatred towards the Council, Edwyr ends up agreeing, if only because he doubts Feyrith can survive a trip like this alone. The task is to investigate strange magical energies in a ruin a few days' travel away. Edwyr assumes that the only thing to worry about will be avoiding getting killed by the jungle wildlife, but the mission turns much more complicated when they stumble across a conspiracy that aims to change everything about the elven society. Including both of their destinies. --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words]
The Heart Of The Forest by HasanStories
20 parts Complete
In the mystical forest of Althoria, where ancient trees whisper secrets and magic flows through every leaf, Elara, one of the last remaining fairies, lives hidden from the mortal world. With shimmering wings and silver hair that glows in the moonlight, she is a guardian of the forest's heart-a place where time moves differently and magic is alive. One evening, a lost traveler named Rowan stumbles into the forest, his path tangled after his horse bolts into the depths of Althoria. Though wary of the forest's dangers, Rowan is captivated by the ethereal figure who appears to offer him help-Elara, a fairy whose beauty and power seem to belong to another world. Though she has never shown herself to a mortal before, something about Rowan's quiet strength stirs a deep, unspoken bond. Guiding Rowan through the forest's ancient paths, Elara reveals a realm that blurs the line between the magical and the real. The deeper they venture, the more Rowan learns about the forest's secrets and his own connection to its ancient magic. At the heart of Althoria lies a stone circle where time and fate intertwine, and Rowan's journey is about to take a turn he could never have imagined. As Rowan and Elara grow closer, the forest reveals more than either of them is prepared for-an ancient destiny tied to Rowan's arrival and the future of the enchanted land. But love, magic, and danger are woven together in the Heart of the Forest, and Rowan must face a choice that will change everything. The Heart of the Forest is a tale of magic, mystery, and a love that transcends the boundaries of time. A journey into a world of enchantment, where fate is forged in the quiet whispers of the trees, and where one heart's choice could save or destroy everything.

Long ago, in a kingdom ruled by silence, two princesses dared to speak. Thana and Khalida were sisters bound by blood but divided by destiny. Together they formed the Guerrillas, a secret band of warrior women fighting for justice in a land that denied them power. But when one sister dares to enter the forbidden heart of their realm-the Forest of Lights, a place of both refuge and fear-a single prophecy brings secrets to light and fractures the bond they believed was unbreakable. In a world where light can deceive and darkness can guide, only the truth within their shattered hearts can save what remains. ~~ The story is finally complete! I'd appreciate your reads so much. ❤ The second book of the series is a work in progress (but may never be finished due to my co-writer disappearing) Note: no, this book has nothing to do with The Bringer of Light, the titles are accidentally similar. I'll try not to put "light" in my next book title lol TRIGGER WARNING: suicide, violence, mental health issues
