A woman cannot rule the Kingdom of Vivelle. If a king should only have daughters, then the princesses are to participate in a Queens Trial. A series of tests to see who is most worthy of becoming the Queen Victorious. The Winning daughter will marry a suitor of the king's choosing. Once married, her husband will become king. The losing queens will be sacrificed back to the people as punishment for their ancestor's crimes. Or more specifically, the crimes of the Mad Queen.
...
Princess Illyana is the eldest of the king's five daughters. In a few days time, the Queens Trial will begin and there are only two possible outcomes. The first is she will fail and get sacrificed. The second is she will win and be forcibly wed to a cruel man and live the rest of her life knowing she is alive because her sisters are dead.
Illyana wants more. She wants to rule the Kingdom of Vivelle with her sisters by her side.
She only has a few days left to come up with a plan before the Trial begins. With the whole kingdom watching eagerly to see which daughter wins, it is going to be almost impossible for Illyana to change the minds of a nation so that she can sit on the throne.
Warning! Rated Mature as there will be violence, gore and themes of a sexual nature.
Lots of parts, but not long chapters. :)

After one of the bloodiest battles in fae history, where a betrayal rocked the Light Court, Elora finds herself in a terrible position. To take the crown she was born to she must find a Consort to rule at her side. Tradition requires her to hold a tournament and allow Lords and Ladies from across the Isle to compete for her hand. Even if that means opening their doors to those of the opposing Court and coming face-to-face with family of the man who betrayed her brother.
Without knowing who she can trust or how she will ever make a decision Elora is torn between making the right choice for her Court and the enigmatic Lord she has vowed to hate. With prophecies, notes, and an unknown power at her fingertips she soon realises that someone saw her on the battlefield that day and knows the truth about what happened.
Siblings parted by centuries,
One that will break us,
Another that frees.
A coming together to signal the end,
One betrayed by a lover,
One betrayed by a friend.
