Catherine Hunter is one of the lucky ones. Fourteen years old, a daughter of privilege, she doesn't need to fear the Collections which rip other Anglyan families apart. But she longs for escape - before her dad can marry her off to a rich government brat and imprison her forever. 

So Catherine becomes Cat, and stows away on the skyship Stormdancer. But the ship's small, courageous crew have secrets of their own. As they brave the storms that fill the skies between islands, Cat must choose: loyalty or freedom; family or truth; love or battle? Let the skies decide.All Rights Reserved

There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. ***** For four hundred years the Everburning City has withstood the advance of the life-strangling fog known as the Gloam.

Golems are coming out of the mist, and the bodies of the dead are rising at the Gloam's bidding.

The brightest of these valiant heroes are Tabitha a'Loria and her apprentice Gerald Reath.

A Court of Sirens and Shadows (An ACOTAR Fanfic) by Stelleon_

In the heart of the Night Court, Loralei has spent her life honing her skills in combat, refusing to be the girl who waits in the shadows. Born to Gwyneth Berdara and the legendary shadowsinger Azriel, she is the embodiment of strength-sharp, quick, and deadly. But beneath the surface, something stirs within her, an inheritance she doesn't fully understand, a latent power tied to her nymph heritage. When Kieran, a cunning thief from the Court of Nightmares, crashes a ball to steal a mysterious relic, he has no idea that his mission will entangle him with the daughter of a shadowsinger. Loralei should kill him where he stands. Instead, she finds herself drawn to him in a way she can't explain, as if something within her is reaching out. As the relic becomes the center of a brewing war between the Night Court and the Autumn Court, Loralei begins to feel the pull of something darker, something powerful-an unspoken force that is tied to her bloodline, yet she can't quite control. Bound by fate and their own dark abilities, Loralei and Kieran must navigate treachery, political intrigue, and a dangerous attraction neither can afford. But in a world where shadows whisper and unknown powers lurk, temptation can be a deadly game. The next generation of the Night Court rises. And a game of courts is about to begin.

Unproven by B_L_A_Z_E

SHADOW IS AZH'NAHN, A POWERLESS MAGE born into a culture that prides itself in sharing the earth's powers. When he chooses a life of voluntary exile to preserve his family's honor, Shadow receives a mysterious call to witness the unearthing of kotrakoy, treacherous telepathic beasts with four wings and four rows of teeth. As he watches their unholy resurrection with great horror, kotrakoy open their minds to his and offer a glimpse into what life would be like wielding a mage's powers. As Shadow races to warn his people of the impending threat, he discovers a mysterious Trayki woman hanging from the trees and on the verge of death. Uncertain what to do, Shadow initially hesitates to rescue this woman whose people embrace technology and eschew his culture. As Shadow tends to her glider crash wounds, the earth unites them in a soul bond, a sacred union that gives Shadow an unerring duty to protect and preserve her life. And that duty will be fraught with peril: Trayki troops begin bombing Hiwalani villages and while losses mount, magic evolves and Shadow's people lose their power. The Hiwalani must rely on inexperienced youth to master the new magic and stop enemy attacks. Desperate to save their people, few make any progress at all. Only the outcast azh'nahn seems to understand it - and very few trust his judgment. When Shadow believes he's unlocked the solution, it involves empowering the most deadly kotrakoy and risking the complete annihilation of his people. While his solution sounds reasonable in theory, there is no time to test it - it's UNPROVEN.

Taken from her people, raised in indentured servitude, and finding her footing in Volante's navy, having the opportunity to change the course of her life is strange and terrifying.

The Emperor's Edge by LindsayBuroker

Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.
