One's leading the resistance. And the other one? He works for the authorities. It's his job to find two of them, and as for the third...she might be locked up, but her heart is proving to be the most elusive out of the lot. And that's not all. A Time of Mirroring approaches, according to The Temple in The Grove. Who doesn't like a prophecy? Well, a lot of people aren't going to like this one.

The Forest of Lights by Purplestar222
16 parts Complete Mature
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

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen
20 parts Ongoing
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

There, among forgotten ruins and magical beasts, she discovers that Elvira is alive-but changed. And the forest wants more than just memories. As old powers awaken and shadowed figures hunt the bloodline Elara never knew she carried, she must decide: trust the sister who abandoned her, or the wild magic calling her to become something else entirely. In a world where myths breathe, monsters dream, and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade-what will Elara choose when the truth shatters everything?
