Learning that their utopian form of government is all a lie, they will have to decide which side of the war they will side on.

The Elements of Forbidden Love by shaelydawn75

Nixie Caldwell lives in a New Earth. A world that has mutated along with the people in it. A world with four domains of life. The domains are Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Each resident is born with special abilities involving the element that they were born into. Each elemental lives in their separate regions away from the others. They rarely saw each other. Especially if they are royals like Nixie. Nixie is a water princess who has been studying the other royals almost all her life, but she has never seen anyone outside her family. On her sixteenth birthday, she is finally given the opportunity to meet them at the royal assembly that is held every year in the Earth domain. When she meets unknown creatures trying to destroy her, a handsome prince willing to court her, a pair of twins filling her life with humor, and a mysterious boy she cannot fall in love with under any circumstances, she starts to realize that life is a lot more complicated than just proving herself to her father and that being queen isn't actually the most important thing in her life.

Intertwined Fates | ✔︎ by Isabelle18Rose

In a world where one-third of humanity is composed of elementals, a unique group possesses extraordinary abilities tied to the natural elements: fire, water, air, and earth. Among them are the protectors of light and darkness, emerging every other century with unparalleled powers. For centuries, elementals have operated in secrecy, forming a society dedicated solely to safeguarding humanity from mythical horrors that should never have been unleashed. However, two centuries ago, their existence was accidentally exposed, leading to a catastrophic war that claimed millions of lives and devastated countless homes. Now, a century later, a new pair of protectors has been chosen just as the very force that ignited the original conflict threatens to escape its prison and annihilate everything in its path-humans and elementals alike. As they navigate a treacherous landscape filled with government pursuers, mercenaries, assassins, and monstrous foes, these protectors must rise to the challenge. They face the daunting task of stopping a shadow-powered entity determined to obliterate the world. Will they overcome their differences and unite in this critical fight, or is history destined to repeat itself?, as the fate of both species hangs in the balance.

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me. "You know, it's my job to eliminate spies." "Eliminate me huh? I'd like to see you try." I was surprised by my response, just as much as he was, and he raised one of his perfectly shaped eyebrows at me. "Is that a challenge? I like a challenge." *** I never wanted any of the lives set out for me. Unfortunately in the new world where the monarchy has taken over, there was never a choice for a girl like me. At 18, I'm forced to leave the academy. It's a horrible place where young girls are groomed to become the perfect wives, and yet it's the only home I've ever know . Now I'll either become a human incubator, breeding children for the kingdom, or sold at auction to a man who would make me his wife and slave. Little did I know I would become a chosen one. Forced to compete in the coming-of-age competition to win the heart of the Prince and the crown. All were terrible fates, but only one included him. ___________________________________________ - completed - Mature sexual content Cover credits go to Devilishwritings

Elementals II: Prophecies (DISCONTINUED) by RocketK

[SPOILER ALERT! This is the sequel to "Elementals". If you haven't read it, don't read further.] Following the events on the moon, our two Elementals, Breeze and Blaze, continue to develop their powers for the field-duty that lies ahead. As they go, different challenges lie ahead: Blaze continues experience voids in her memory, while Breeze holds back the death of their Senior. Blaze has yet to figure it out as they embark on their training, closely watched by Grand Master Vulcano who continues to manipulate Blaze's fragile mind. Breeze on the other hand, grows more and more aware of his surroundings, and gets to know his new ally Aqú even better, but Blaze is suspicious of Aqú, only knowing him as Senior Fall. She does not trust him and she can't seem to figure out why Breeze does. They are evolving in two different directions that might see them drift further apart than they ever imagined. What will happen when they find themselves on two different paths? Rankings: #88 in Science Fiction (10/4-15)
