[Wattpad Picks: Editors' Choice]

Saoirse's blood dances with iron and trickery, a secret she has managed to sheathe from all faery alike. 

Until now, that is.

When Saoirse's cunning and charade is shredded to bits by the malevolent interfering of faery royalty, Saoirse makes a vow of thorns; edged and prickly, one dangerous enough to cost her the life she invoked it for. To keep her life and the cursed magic that makes her both admired and feared, she must use her prized gifts to cross faery territory and charm her way into the heart of the Alder King's Court at the command of the Spring.All Rights Reserved

Embracing the Dark by Rubberduckz84

(Wicked Lovely Fanfic) Maeve Byrne has always known she wasn't completely human. It's the reason she could always see the faeries that inhabited Huntsdale. But she's also never told a soul what she was or what she could see. Her mother, for all her faults, had pressed one thing on her - it was dangerous. If others found out what she was - especially the Summer Court - they could hurt her to get to her father, whoever he was. All she knows is that he was a member of the Dark Court. And that she can never take off the charm that hides what she truly is. But now she's back in Huntsdale, the last place she ever thought she would return. Her dreams of being a professional ballerina - of creating a life with her fiance - are now dead after a horrific car accident two years ago. Maeve isn't sure what drew her back to her hometown. But feels like the new Dark King just might have something to do with it. Maybe he can help her find out who her father is. And perhaps finally embrace the darkness that has always lived inside her...

In The Mist of Shadows by readerofrealms6

Adela (ah-del-ah) Meaning: noble She was anything but. Born into enslavement of her father's kingdom, becoming his deadliest weapon, Adela Faelan thought her whole life was planned before her by her father. He had trained her as an assassin starting at the age of five, completely throwing away her princess duties or any shred of a personal life. It was easy however, as Adela's father seemed to always have a list of enemies needing of dispatch. But one night, being called into her father's privet chambers she was asked to perform a different task. Emissary. Her father had heard of this realm called Prythian, how they just came back from a war, winning against his brother, the King of Hybern. They seemed to be in shambles, fighting each other about what to do with their mortal lands, everyone on edge about who is really who's ally. He heard of the Spring Court and it's Lord who seemed to have lost everything, maybe he was the perfect way to wiggle in. So he sent her to the Spring Court of Prythian to convince Lord Tamlin to agree to this treaty. Allow the King of Ells to come into your land and stand with him as they both conquered what his lost brother didn't get to have. But complications arose as anyone in her path seemed to recognize her. Her long onyx hair, tan skin when the summer months came around, the shape of her face... And her violet eyes. But it couldn't be possible that she was related to the Lord of the Night Court. His family was dead. But when the Lord sent his spymaster to get information about this stranger in their lands, there was no doubting it. Adela Faelan was in fact somehow a part of his bloodline. And somehow found herself as the spymaster's mate.

Oblivion, A Timeless Void by Aster_Rae27

❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 7] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carried, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out on a journey to find the Elementals - a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1 by marcellaiswriting

~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.
