Princess Arletta lives in the early Medieval kingdom of Klavon and believes she has two problems, one insolvable, the other she hopes to solve for herself. The first problem is that she lives in a world dominated by men; namely her father, the King, and her brother, the Crown Prince, the counsellors and all other hierarchy involved in the running of the kingdom. The second problem is that she wants to marry for love, not for position, and certainly not a marriage arranged by her father who keeps telling her that she must learn to submit to her place as a princess of Klavon. 
A pauper she spies at the beginning of this story turns out to be a prince but the man who proposes to her seems an ordinary man with no background of nobility.
Is she strong enough to escape her life as a princess and run away to marry and live the life of a pauper's wife? Can she be happy, living in a small, forest cottage-hut? Will it all work out happily ever after for Arletta? - Then, when everything turns to dread disaster due to the conqueror, Grahgor, will she ever find her way back to owning any form of meaning and purpose in her life?All Rights Reserved

Crowned in fire and thorns by NotEvenAWriter05

The wind played with a loose strand of her hair, sending it across her cheek. Without thinking, I reached out, brushing it back. Her breath hitched. My fingers lingered at the side of her face, the warmth of her skin burning into me. Her lips parted, just slightly. I could feel her breath, warm and uneven. We were too close. And yet, neither of us moved away. The tension between us, the one we had carefully danced around for so long, finally cracked open. My hand dropped to her waist, her body shifting just slightly toward mine, her fingers brushing against my sleeve as if testing a boundary neither of us wanted to acknowledge. Her eyes searched mine, and for the first time, I didn't know if I had the strength to pull away. She tilted her head up, and for a moment-just a single moment-I allowed myself to lean in. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will they fight to the end?

Yet, her fiery intelligence and stubborn defiance begin to unravel everything he thought he knew. A Kingdom of Shadows. A Royal Betrayal. A Love Neither Can Escape.

The feared Crimson King by MsDarkerdays

I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head. He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper.
