The Great War has wrecked havoc across the world, but in the forgotten coastal town of Westmire, young Emmeline is naive and hopeful. A daydreamer and constant reader, Emmy awaits the day she can be free of poverty and her broken family until one day a damaged ship arrives at the pier, bringing in several of rumored tyrant King Edwin's men. Taking refugee in the people of Westmire's home, Emmy comes to meet Captain Wen - a charming and opened minded man who is friends with the king despite his reputation. In an instant the two are drawn to one another, leading Wen to propose the idea of returning with to him to Midmoor, a royal city where the king himself resides.
In a sudden impulse, Emmy follows, leaving behind resenting sisters and an alcoholic mother and enters into a world of wealth, politics and deception. Much like Wen, upon meeting Emmy, King Edwin is attracted to her compassionate and innocent fuming his already bitter wife. After their meeting, unexpected things occur. Wen is sent into a suicidal mission and the Queen is taken ill, leaving Emmy a penniless widow whose only security comes from King Edwin.

The Four
There used to be a time where the world feared Locatlie. This time was merely decades ago. They thought that the Locatlie family was untouchable, they couldn't come near anyone anymore after the War of hearts. But the people that lived through the War of Hearts got soft, they either died or forgot it happened in the first place. Their children got children and those children forgot whom they were dealing with. Nobody thought that anybody could compete with Queen Julia. The queen whom brought down nations. Until I came along. You think Julia had it rough? Pfft. Her life was a fucking cake walk compared to mine- but lets not get ahead of the story. Julia might be the queen that brought down the nations, but I was the one that made them beg for mercy while burned them all to the ground. Important information: You can read this story without reading the Locatlie series, but it will spoil the Locatlie series for you. If you like books that close off chapters and you like reading long stories, read the Locatlie series first. :) Warning: This story contains physical abuse, mental abuse and sexual abuse.Complete

Speared By Heart ♡ (Yandere! Male! Warrior x Princess! Reader)
Play the visual novel version here! https://kittenstealth.itch.io/speared-by-heart PART I: Princess (Y/N). Instead of being offered to join the war and fight back for your freedom, you were almost handed away to marriage on a silver platter with a man you used to love. He grew cold with age and ruling a kingdom did not do his personality any good; being sent over to him for marriage now would be a death sentence for you. Not doing it would mean a death sentence for everyone else. Still, you had to run away. You never wanted the royal life nor to get married at the exact young age of 20. Running away to a small town nearby was not the best idea you could have ever come up with, but it served well as the town agreed to keep you and put you to work. Mainly with hand-to-hand combat training. You were never allowed to do anything of the sort when at the hands of your mother, so it was nice for a change. But what were they training you for? The war. No one knew you were the princess, and they were expecting to have you frontline back into the kingdom you tried so hard to escape from to fight in the war. Escaping now to anywhere else in the world seemed to be the only good option. One person in particular wasn't going to let you do that. Clyde Ray. ♡ PART II: Coming soon :) (All rights reserved for both the story and art.)
Crown of Fate: The Resilient Princess
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.Complete
Forged In Sea And Smoke
"No one is coming to save you. There will be no escape, there will only be you and me, here, for however long it takes for you to answer every one of my questions. If you are waiting for your King to come and save you, you are sadly mistaken, he cannot reach you here." That statement might have defeated any other prisoner, but she knew better. She had known and accepted that she would find her death here. She laughed as loudly as she could, making a show of it, "rescue me? Please don't tell me you think I'm a damsel in distress." His smile met her laugh, meeting her challenge with his own. "Distress? No. But we have just gotten started." ---- Adriell did not come here for a prince, she came for his throne. Born of the sea, bound by vengeance. Adriell, heir of the merpeople, and warrior, is captured by the humans from the land up above and transformed into the very creature she despises. Captured and transformed, she is a mermaid adrift, a warrior without her sea. Her prison becomes her battleground when she vows to assassinate the Sultan, the man who stole her life. To slaughter the sultan the way he slaughters her people. In the heart of the enemy's court, she discovers Allaric, the Sultan's son, a man haunted by his own secrets and a man who yearns for his father's downfall. Forced into a dangerous alliance, they navigate a world of shadows and lies, where enemies become allies, and hatred simmers into a forbidden desire. In this dark fantasy retelling, alliances are forged in blood, and the price of freedom is paid in secrets and sacrifice. A dark, enemies-to-lovers fantasy where the sea meets the sword. Trigger warnings inside.![The Butterfly Bracelet [Yandere Prince x Female Reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/230345104-256-k687619.jpg)
