In the dead of night an infant princess was stolen from her cradle, and away from her family. She was murdered in cold blood, and thus began a war between two kingdoms. 

Now seventeen years later rumors spread like wild fire. Rumors of the missing princess being alive, and well. In a desperate hope to find his daughter, King Tobias sends his two sons into enemy territory to bring her home. While the princes are there they meet Alexandrine Bugus who was just cured of her illness that had plagued her for seventeen years. Alexandrine's cure may have given her something much more than she could have ever imagined. A key to her true past, and true home. With the help of the two undercover princes, an old friend, and the mysterious Prince Brant, it will take everything Alexandrine has to offer to find herself, and not to get caught in the cross fires of the war that is just beginning.All Rights Reserved

Ashes Of The Veilborn by NabilaShereen

🖤 Ashes of the Veilborn Dark Fantasy | Tragic Romance | Court Intrigue | Rebirth On the night the stars disappeared, a girl was born- a Veilborn princess never meant to exist. Feared for her magic. Silenced by her family. Marked from birth. Seraphyne Aelira lived her first life as a girl far too innocent for the world that raised her. She feared her older brother's hand, flinched at her father's voice, and learned quickly: no one defends a cursed child. Not even herself. Her only light was her older sister-the only one who ever truly loved her. But when tragedy struck, they said she caused it. A fire. A scream. A lie. And one day, when the fear and pain grew too much- Seraphyne snapped. Her magic-wild, ancient, Veilborn-exploded from her. And though she didn't understand it, couldn't even control it... The court saw a monster. From that day on, even their whispers were edged with terror. But even shadows can love. Years later, Seraphyne met Kaelion Draxmere Vaebrith. Their love was quiet. Fierce. Immediate. Like souls recognizing each other from lifetimes past. But it wasn't enough. Manipulated by her jealous guardian 𝐀𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐧... And deceived by the golden noblewoman Altheira, whose smile could ruin empires... Seraphyne was framed- And executed for a crime someone else committed. She was not killed by an enemy... But by someone who knew her best. Now, she is reborn- Haunted by the past. Carrying a power that no longer sleeps. And remembering every betrayal, every lie. She remembers how Altheira fooled her. How Kaelion stood still as she was taken. And how the court feared a girl who only ever wanted to be loved. But Seraphyne no longer craves their acceptance. She has returned not to forgive- But to uncover the truth, expose the traitor, and set fire to the lies that destroyed her. Fate chose her once. Now she chooses herself.

Laurel and Bone by FoundlingShadow

-"She'll ruin you! She'll bring you to your knees." His answer was a prayer, murmured above me. "Even better."- ~A tale of oaths, and the people who break them~ Cassia Aurelius is a thief, an orphan, and a girl who made a terrible mistake... she ate Fae food. Now she's trapped in a realm of beautiful half-truths disguised as mercy, where the price of survival is combat. Forced into deadly trials before a crowd of merciless Fae, Cassia fights to keep her life, unaware that the game was never meant for her to win. When a dashing Fae Lord steps in to save the hapless human girl, she sees no way to live long enough to find her way home, except his unwanted offer of marriage. This Lord had his own reasons for this chivalry, however. She was not to be a bride, but a key. Hunted, terrified, and betrayed, Cassia finds an unlikely ally in the court of her betrothed. One with secrets that echo her own... one who leads her to a reclusive and broken Fae Lord who sees the darkness she hides. As war brews and ancient magic stirs, love becomes a weapon. Cassia must decide who to trust before she loses more than her home and freedom. In the Fae realm, looks can be deceiving.

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The Sixth Star by Riri_Novelwriter

In a world ruled by the elements, where each kingdom bends nature to its will, the Crystal Kingdom stood as a shimmering jewel of peace and power. Its people wielded the strength of water and ice, born of a royal bloodline said to be blessed by the skies themselves. Among the six children of the throne, a girl was born last-quiet, observant, and radiant like the morning frost. She was rare, not for her beauty or her status, but for the blood that coursed through her veins: a perfect balance of her father's ice and her mother's water. A gift... and a threat. As kingdoms watched, and as shadows stirred in places where light had long forgotten to reach, destinies began to shift. Betrayal would bloom where love should have stood. Swords would rise not just against enemies-but against kin. And through it all, she would carry a promise etched deep within her soul: To reunite the broken, protect the innocent, and become more than just the sixth star in her family's sky-she would become their hope.

Battle in the Storm by JLeigh1

In grief, she found vengeance. In vengeance, she may lose herself. Dr. Lydia Allard wanted to heal. War taught her how to hunt. Eleven years after the Fae opened portals into Earth, sparking war and misery across human cities and wildlands. Lydia-once a leading physician studying the lethal residue of Fae magic-has already paid the war's highest price: her parents and her young daughter. When her brother's experimental portal briefly succeeds and is then destroyed to keep it from the wrong hands, the only path into the Fae realm is through the enemy's own magics. With a rogue team-including a half-Fae ally-Lydia plans a perilous infiltration: pass as Fae within a human-realm based war camp to be carried through the gates into the heart of their realm to find the one who took her very soul. But the deeper they go, the more the war's narrative unravels. The magic that mummifies the dead whispers of design, not chaos. Allegiances blur. And a hidden architect seems intent on feeding two worlds into the same fire. Driven by a mother's grief and a scientist's precision, Lydia must navigate knives, lies, and a power awakening in her own bloodline-before the true enemy turns both realms into kindling.

Shadows & Chains by purplekushbabe

book 1 of The Ashes of Edrathis Trilogy Blair Nightwyck remembers nothing of her life before the war-only screams, fire, and her uncle's rough hands dragging her from the ashes. The story he told her was simple: her parents were slaughtered by a dragon during the Great War between Shifters and mankind. That the monsters deserved their extinction. That her survival was a curse she would spend the rest of her life repaying. For years she's been his weapon, his trapper-chasing and capturing what others fear, selling the rare and the dangerous for his profit while she dreams of freedom she'll never taste. Until the crown makes her an offer. A job dangerous enough to kill her. Lucrative enough to buy her freedom. All she has to do is work for the king-hunt creatures the realm believes extinct-and in return, she'll finally earn her way out of her uncle's chains. But when she meets Lieutenant Malachi Ryerson, the man assigned to train and accompany her, her carefully built world begins to unravel. He's powerful, commanding, impossibly magnetic-and hiding something that makes the air around him hum with danger. Something ancient. Something that should not exist. The deeper she's drawn into his shadow, the more she begins to question everything she's ever known about monsters, about the war... and about herself. Because in Edrathis, truth is as deadly as magic-and the monster she's been hunting may not be the one wearing claws.

Against the Crown by _NJGar

Dhara's life was turned upside down once before, and she had recovered nicely from it, thank you very much. Then the king dies, which is enough cause for worry, and the reason for all the past upheaval in her life walks in through the front door with the youngest prince when a necromancer and his goons try to kill her. She is glad for his help, but does she want him around after all this time? Malachi was a warrior mage. He always knew the path his calling would lead him on, and that path did not include Dhara. Years later, as Captain of the Guard to the suspiciously-dead king, Malachi finds out that he needs to protect Dhara, and do so at all costs, because there is something about her that neither of them knew before that placed her high on the Queen's kill list. Can they overcome their past differences and work together to save Sansia as they know it? Can they forget past hurts and go up against the crown for the sake of their kingdom?

Healer by silli__lilli

Completed. AzrielxFemale OC - Slow Burn, Fluff, Smut, Soft Az. Lots of Action/Story/Other character involvement. "Coming back is like swimming up to the surface. If you almost drowned already, it takes a while to feel safe taking a breath." The Shadowsinger gets distracted on a raid by a gentle natured female that appears out of place in the camp he's just taken over. He gets his job done, but takes critical moments to pull her aside and offer her refuge in his home city of Velaris. The risk of their conversation costs him, and the next few months are spent overcoming the repercussions, both physical and emotional. Dark magic swirls in Prythian, calling on spells more ancient than the High Lords and Ladies have seen in centuries and wreaking havoc on those who are too young to even recognize the source. A war is brewing and a quiet battle is already raging for the loyalty of the only healer in Prythian possessing the skills to identify and fight back against the sorcery. How will young and old, light and dark, pain and forgiveness, come together to save the land, and each other? Disclaimer: I own none of the characters or places referenced here.

Forgotten by crystalbooks24

//He had my hands pinned tightly above my head as I squirmed beneath him. The blade twisting between his fingers. He held it up to my throat. I was afraid but refused to show it. "Hurt me." I said between gritted teeth. He just gave me a sorrowful glance before driving the dagger into my flesh.// This is no story of love and happiness. This is a story of death and destruction. One of a man and woman who met one night and not only changed the lives of themselves, but the lives of a whole world of people. One was fire and one was water. They were perfectly balanced. Until one night when the sun fell just below the tip of the tallest castle, the balance faltered, and all hell broke loose. Fire on fire. This is no memorable story that was told on for generations after. No. This is a story of the forgotten. ------------------------------------------- The prince and princess are forced to marry out of their fathers hatred for one another. Yet, there's a falter to the plan and murder gets involved.
