When Saki awoke in a forest clearing, she only remembered three things: her name, how to fight, and that she could lift objects with her mind. But, Saki has more important things to worry about. Laika is in the midst of a civil uprising, and Saki has stumbled right into in the middle of it.

Found and recruited by rebels, Saki focuses on her life as a renegade soldier. Fighting comes easily to her- a little bit too easy. But, she doesn't have the luxury on dwelling on that or her forgotten past when any moment could be her last. 

When a mysterious young man appears with proof that he is the Empress's long lost son, the rebellion sees their opportunity to usurp the throne. Saki's squad is tasked with assassinating the Empress and putting Prince Luwen in power.

Luwen also brings startling information: the government is looking for a young woman with mysterious powers like Saki's.  With only that to go on, Saki and her squad head to the capital with Luwen in tow to overthrow the throne and end this war.  But, Saki can't continue ignoring the questions of her past as they intertwine with the fate of not only Laika, but the entire world.

From the writer of the 2014 Watty Undiscovered Gem and former Featured book, THE TRUTH OF HEROES, comes a breathtaking dark fantasy set in a world based on ancient Asia. An Omen of Crows updates every Friday around 12pm EST

It Isn't Easy Being Queen by BrittanieCharmintine
49 parts Complete
Even teen evil queens need love. Right? (Or at least a handsome sword-fighting minion to do their bidding!) *** Bad things happen when Rowen is around and the worst part is, she has no idea why until a massive family secret sends her on a fantastical journey to fight her evil fate. Will Rowen fold into the forces of dark magic or honor her true self? *** On the surface, Rowen Keckilpenny-Brown seems like a normal teenage girl with normal teen problems-no boyfriend, overprotective parents, and no friends other than a three-legged cat. But her wild red hair, reptilian eyes, and legendary temper say otherwise. When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne. The current evil queen, Petronella Grimshaw, is desperate to crown Rowan the new sovereign and blackmails her into traveling to the queendom. Rowen has one month to learn how to evil queen, and it's not easy because there are those in the castle who want her dead, witches are disappearing, and an annoyingly cute swordsman keeps distracting her. Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all. Princess Diaries meets the School for Good & Evil with a touch of Wednesday Addams thrown in for bad luck. The best kind! Cover by @ClarissaNorth

Lily Rubia Albrecht, now known as Princess Lithuania Evander, never thought she would become the centerpiece of a royal struggle for power. Reincarnated into the world of Across the Stars, Lily originally sought only to survive the novel's dark, twisted fate, but she quickly discovered that her role was much more complex than she had anticipated. As the crowned princess, she must navigate her new royal responsibilities, including the deceptive beauty of her sister-in-law, Elizabeth Evander, whose ambition drives her to manipulate those around her in pursuit of the throne. Elizabeth, a strikingly charming and dangerous figure, is determined to claim what she believes is rightfully hers. With her cunning mind and calculated moves, she plots to undermine Lily and take the power she feels entitled to. However, Elizabeth's dark nature is hidden behind a veil of grace, and she presents herself as a sweet, innocent member of the royal family. But, beneath that sweetness, a villainous soul emerges. Lily, suspicious of Elizabeth's intentions, must uncover the truth while grappling with her own identity, caught between her past life's experiences and the novel's dangerous world she now inhabits. As the tension rises within the kingdom and a new nemesis, Kol Evander, emerges with his own twisted desires, Lily faces a choice: rise above her own feelings of betrayal, or let the darkness within her turn her into the very villain that her enemies expect. She must outwit those who would use her as a pawn, even as she finds herself drawn into a web of power, loyalty, and deceit. In this game of thrones, who will truly be the villain? And can Lily ever become the hero she wishes to be, or will she too fall prey to the seductive allure of power?
