Every year for the last decade Ashether, the Kingdom of Ashes, celebrated the memory of those who died for its freedom. Every year for the last decade the Festival of the Dead brought together the four Kingdoms of the Royal Lands to remember the souls that sacrificed themselves for freedom. Every year for the last decade everything went according to plan. Until the 10th year.
What happens when you put a group of low rank thieves with a leader way too cocky for his own good together with a smart-like-a-fox woman who dreams big as they all try to steal their way to riches and luxury?
But said heist is not the curtain call of the night. For there are some who side-eye Ashether's freedom and its Queen. And they have been looking forward for the Festival of the Dead for reasons that differ from those you would imagine.
So what do you believe will happen when that very group of thieves find themselves tangled in a political matter that has nothing to do with their original cause?

To Make a Kinder Children's Tale
Esme had one big fear in life: being captured as a thief by the city's guardsmen and being executed for her crimes, and that so heavily weighed on her mind that she increased her risks by being distracted in the middle of a heist. That's when she runs into Althalos Fourthborn: Inner Circle Guardsman, one of the many princes of the realm, an Aelif (Dark Elf, local dialect)...and her betrothed by treaty. (That was something her almost human mind could not handle.) So she calls off the heist, gets demoted into a far more risky job, learns the true bitter depth of what this treaty's bond is like, and lands safely by her prince's side....sort of. There were people who still wanted to end her life, even if she was in what most people would call a Happily Ever After. That and her prince had his own living fears that were gnawing at any chance they had. That and she might just lose her mind from everyday boredom. But the one she couldn't wrap her all-too human mind around was that she would one day grow wings and fly away from her almost Happily Ever After to live in a hive with ancestors more alien than a hottie with pointed ears and abandonment issues. ~~~~ Yes, there are adult themes in this book, and difficult subjects, but nothing is excessive, as this is probably my simplest story. So, trigger warnings: A history of assault. Occasional vulgar language. References to partial cannibaliam. Extremely mild, light, and rare sex scenes. At least one elitist mentality. ~~~~ Ages of MC/ML: Esme: Apparent age of 24, roughly 20 years lived (mostly human). Althalos: Apparent age of 30, roughly 65 years lived (Elves mature slower).Complete

Those who weren't killed in the Emergence gathered in remote towns. This is where Aurora Dyer was raised, with only the faintest memories of life before the Lycans. However, even these isolated settlements could not outrun the Decree issued that fateful winter's eve: His Highness seeks a Bride. The search begins for a suitable mate, whatever the cost. Along with hundreds of other women, Aurora finds herself herded into a world clouded with unimaginable wealth, mystery and depth. As the selection for Her Highness begins, Aurora must not only confront the monster responsible for overtaking her life, but also prevent him from destroying what remains of it. // ONGOING | To be completed by Summer 2026 Written by MaybeManhattan

Thieves of the crown
The kingdom of Orovia bleeds. Every harvest season, the Frost royals send their imperials to strip villages bare. Gold. Crops. Heirlooms. Even lives. Everything claimed in the name of the crown. Alexandra Beaumont has lost enough. When the king opens the army to new recruits, she seizes her chance. Not to serve, but to steal. Beneath the armor of a royal soldier, she hides a secret mission: infiltrate the castle, reclaim what was stolen, and return it to the people who were robbed of everything. But she is not alone. A band of outcasts forms at her side, bound by vengeance and hope. By day, they wear the king's colors. By night, they become shadows on the sea. Pirates who raid treasuries, kingdoms, and crowns themselves. Rebels carving justice out of theft. Yet betrayal stalks the rebellion as closely as the royals do. And when Alexandra's heart tangles with Asher Knight-the general's son, her greatest threat, and her greatest ally-loyalties blur, danger sharpens, and every stolen heartbeat could be her last. In a world where rebellion is treason and love is forbidden, Alexandra must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to take back a kingdom drowning in frost.![Resurgence (GxG Story)[ Color Series: #2 Gray ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/291184984-256-k867876.jpg)
