Moon Blessed by LeeraIvy
60 parts Complete Mature
For three-hundred years, the five kingdoms in the land of Damir have lived at peace with one another, but tensions are rising once more. Rumors abound that an ambitious Emperor seeks to conquer the entire land and claim it for his own. Desperate to prevent this plot from coming to light, the King and Queen of Nyctoli arrange a tournament in the hopes of uniting the five kingdoms under a different goal: winning the hand of their daughter, Princess Nastasia. Being the first Moon Blessed in centuries is a gift, but also a curse. All her life, Nastasia has been treated as a precious treasure meant to be hidden and guarded, for every Moon Blessed before her led a life leading to martyrdom, and many are afraid that her fate will be the same. Now, Nastasia has gone from being a treasure to a prize. That isn't something she can quietly accept. An air of danger looms and Nastasia is determined to forge her own path before she is forced down the same one her predecessors trod. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, depression, gore, PTSD, and other topics which some might find triggering. Book 1 of 3 Completed October 5, 2023 *UNSOLICITED CRITICS MAY BE MUTED* see bio
To Marry a Dragon by DomiSotto
29 parts Complete
||WATTY 2021 SHORTLIST|| Ex-Princess-Bride wants to marry her beloved Dragon, but when a curse threatens their happily ever after, they are left racing against time to break the spell before it breaks their hearts. *** Elvira, a princess who gave up her rights to the crown to go on adventures and do good, falls in love with a dragon knight Ferrante. Alas, copious amounts of lightning bolts threaten to keep Elvira and Ferrante apart forever, to protect the rights of her long-forgotten, dead-beat betrothed. Who knew that magic-sealed marriage contracts don't have an expiration date when the royals are involved? With romance on the line, Elvira immediately sets out in search of her betrothed to wed him, bed him and be done with him. It would have been simple, except her runaway prince had since become a highway robber and nobody knows where he might be hiding. Ferrante, infuriated with Elvira's quest to save their nuptials, takes on the ancient Arcane Guild to annul the contract. More brawn than brains, the fine print is not his forte, and the dangers of sparring with nimble minds are far greater than he had seen in his nightmares. Meanwhile, a sinister puppet-master also has designs on Elvira... So, the race to the altar is on! Age range I think is NA to adult, but it's smut-free. If you see this book on any other site, they'd stolen it. If they're charging you for it, this is the best and free version. Please read it on W-A-T-T-pad. First Published: April 29, 2020

Still in his embrace, a daunting realisation began to set in. She'd met this man before. Long before he even dreamed of being a king... **************** A tyrant king conquers a kingdom so he can get married to her forgotten princess. People expect a marriage filled with strife and everything but none of that happens. Instead he treats her right, worships her and kisses the very ground she walks on. Why is that? People wonder.

Sure, she gets the occasional slap from her Mother, and lives in the poor section of her Country being overly bored with her life, but she's at least normal. Except when you couple those details with the fact that she has crippling anxiety that makes communicating, or doing anything around others torturous for her. This is the main reason why she can never receive her Mother's love that she so desperately wants. Until, her parents catch wind that the Royal Academy is opening back up. The Academy is accepting one fifteen year old or older girl or boy to compete in a race to become the next monarch of Alumbridge. Her Mother is overjoyed at the news, until she realizes she only has one option to send there. So here we are, anxiety-ridden Catherine forced to compete in this competition with other people her age just to help her family with finances, and finally receive affection from her mother. Things at the Academy are alright, rocky, but overall she's alright. She's just passing by. Until, she discovers some dark truths against her world that she can't bear to ignore any further. These truths both propel her into action, and cause her to question all she's known her entire sheltered life.
