Aysel is a Letter, an ancient people with blood teeming with magic just waiting to be released by a blade. But when her elder brother is captured by an unseen foe, only to return weeks later with a mysterious, seemingly-incurable illness, Aysel knows that no amount of spilled blood will be enough to save him. 

The only chance lies with the monsters that lurk in the shadows of her world, Beasts with violent minds, a taste for flesh, and  power enough to rival even a Letter. Her pact with them-- a cure for her brother in return for her service-- will reveal deep-seated hatred in her own heart, souls twisted by greed and fear, and love where she thought nothing but evil could grow.

The Faith that Comes Between Us oleh Randall-Maddison

For all the goody two shoe girls who romanced Minthara Baenre, This is for you ;) In a world where the oppressive Fidelis Order governs all aspects of life through a rigid control of ancient magic, Ayenna, a young disciple cast out for her crimes against the sect, stumbles into a dangerous conspiracy. While on a journey to redeem herself, she inadvertently binds herself to a mysterious woman named Nilvi, a former member of the rebellion. Bound by a magical link that intertwines their fates, Ayenna and Nilvi must navigate a web of secrets, betrayals, and growing tensions within the rebel group they find themselves allied with. Along the way, they uncover ancient ruins and mythical markings that may hold the key to dismantling the Fidelis Order's power. As Ayenna grapples with her burgeoning connection to forbidden magic and the painful truths about her own identity, she is forced to confront not only the Sect but also the deepening personal conflicts within the group. Nilvi's dark past, haunted by betrayal and regret, slowly unravels, threatening to destroy any hope of trust between them. Caught between the fight for freedom and the mysterious forces guiding her, Ayenna must decide where her loyalties lie-and whether she can trust Nilvi with her heart, or if Nilvi's secrets will lead them all to ruin.

The Apothecary's Moonbound Bride oleh ItoshiKai

In a town on the edge of magic and danger, a chance encounter brings two broken souls together. Yuu, a kind-hearted apothecary, has spent years keeping people at arm's length, haunted by a tragic past that left him wary of getting too close. Everything changes when he becomes responsible for Alyra, a demi-human girl burdened by years of captivity and distrust. Together, they seek solace in each other's company-Yuu offering Alyra the warmth of kindness she thought she'd lost forever, and Alyra finding within herself the strength to protect the only person who has made her feel safe. But peace is fleeting in a world where darkness lurks just beyond the town's fragile walls. As Yuu and Alyra navigate the complexities of trust and healing, Yuu begins to rely on others in ways he never thought possible, and the bonds they forge will be tested by threats they never imagined-both from within their own pasts and from the terrifying creatures that threaten the town's future. Together, they must rise above their fears, discovering not only the courage to fight for their home but also the hope for something greater: the promise of belonging. A story of healing, courage, and the transformative power of connection.

Crown of Fate: The Resilient Princess oleh rahel010

No one can outrun fate, and love often arrives as an uninvited guest, a quiet visitor in the midst of chaos. Where others cling to vengeance, she has chosen peace; while some seek power, she finds strength in family. He is a figure once feared-ruthless, cunning, and powerful, a former king of the underworld now seeking redemption within the tangled web of politics, a place as dangerous as his past. She, resilient and breathtakingly gifted, has turned tragedy into purpose, using her healing touch to save lives after losing her own family to violence. Their worlds couldn't be more different-one, a storm of shadows, the other, a refuge of light. Yet, in a world fraught with contradictions, they've found each other. Together, they are both the calm and the chaos, the fire and the water, soulmates bound by fate even as the world conspires to keep them apart.

He hated her yet he want her. The past was buried, But when the ground is disturbed, when old sins are unearthed, the present begins to unravel-every truth twisted, every memory tainted with doubt. What was once hate is now a weapon. A weapon sharp enough to carve the future, or blunt enough to shatter the past. Because in this story, hate isn't just an emotion; it's the ink that will write their fates. Two sides of the same story-yet something vital remains missing, lurking in the spaces between their truths. A single piece that could change everything. A collision of two forces, a war neither can afford to lose. He is the viper-silent, venomous, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. She is the storm-wild, untamed, ready to destroy anything in her path. And in a game written by vengeance, one truth remains: The past is never really buried. And when it rises, it will demand a price. ▼・ᴥ・▼ 𝙏𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙨 & 𝙂𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙚 Childhood friends to enemies Childhood sweetheart University romance Revenge

She is a monster, a nightmare, a killer, who dreams of an ancient battlefield and a different, brutal world where stars fall and dark blood stains the earth. Kye Merran is an Ember, one who wields fire magic. When a childhood friend shows up at his house with a strange girl who is bleeding black blood, he knows that he's getting into something he definitely shouldn't. Especially when the Dark King of Rurik, who may have much more to him than it seems, is looking to conquer another kingdom or two, preferably with a powerful, dark queen at his side. But Kye can't seem to stay away from the mysterious girl with the blood of Darkness. And Val can't stay away from Kye either, no matter how much she claims that she hates him. As Val, Kye, and their friends race to stop the Dark King and his approaching army, what they don't realize is that they are playing a part in an ancient, deadly game, a game between the light and the dark, one years in the making. But it is a game which neither of them can win, for their fates have already been determined by the desperate Gods, written in blood among the stars.

Bound To The Shadows oleh xSpellBoundScribesx

When the Moon Bleeds Red, Shadows Rise. The Blood Moon rises, and with it, the old stories awaken. Legends of curses and shadows, of forbidden love and powers too great to control. For centuries, they were dismissed as myths-until the night the moon bled red and everything changed. Marked by a searing symbol in the heart of the forest, She becomes tied to a fate older than the stars. Whispers follow her every move, warning of a shadowed destiny that will demand her strength, her choices, and perhaps her soul. The villagers speak of the Blood Moon as a curse, a harbinger of ruin-but for her, it is fate. She encounters a mysterious figure cloaked in shadow of the woods, whose piercing gaze reveals a truth she cannot escape: their fates are entwined. His presence is both a warning and a temptation, drawing her deeper into a battle against forces older than time itself. With the line between life and death blurred, she must unravel the secrets of her mark and confront the shadowy forces that seek to claim her. But as the moon's light grows stronger, so does the pull of her bond to the stranger-a bond as dangerous as the blood running through her veins. In a world where every choice carries the weight of eternity, she must decide: will she embrace her cursed destiny and the love that could destroy her, or will she fight to rewrite her fate before the shadows consume everything?
