What happens when the princess finds her champion--but he has better things to do? 

When Lidah, princess of Napesh, follows the advice of an oracle and seeks a champion to rescue her country, she is acting out of desperation and hope. But Galen, the champion she finds, isn't eager to leave a comfortable life and her hope seems in vain. And indeed, so it might have been had Lidah not been abducted and carried off to the underworld, and had Galen not discovered too late that his heart was not in accord with his head. But seeking a woman who is no longer in this world leads him down strange paths with stranger companions. And Lidah finds it's sometimes up to the princess to be the champion.

My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone.

Heptagram (Unleashed, Book 1) by Naomi_Anika
4 parts Ongoing Mature
When her mother sends her to a mysterious man who may be able to help with her problem, Lyssa could never have imagined that she would end up entangled in such a mess. Not only is the person who was supposed to help her missing, but she also finds herself in the very place she had dreamed of ever since she was old enough to understand what she wanted. Too bad the prestigious Aletheia Academy is nothing like she imagined. She will soon realize that even the walls in this place have secrets. Students are going missing in the middle of the night, and the high-ups act like they saw nothing. There's an extremely annoying young man who treats her like she's the center of all the problems occurring at the Academy, and her mind popping out new memories every five minutes is no help at all. Oh, and of course, there's the challenge of actually surviving the near-death race she signed up for without even knowing it. One month has never seemed so long as Lyssa tries her best not to get killed, kidnapped, or have her mind reduced to shreds - all while keeping in mind her main goal, without anyone else finding out about it. UPDATES COULD BE A LITTLE SLOWER IN THE MONTHS OF OCTOBER/NOVEMBER AS I'M BUSY WRITING MY GRADUATION THESIS. I'LL BE BACK WITH REGULAR WEEKLY UPDATES AS SOON AS I CAN

Cover by: @Caitlyn-Blayne "After the great war, King Archeron, who was not yet a king, was the obvious choice to be the monarch of Avenlea. He possessed all the qualities a king should have-courage, intelligence, boldness, strength, and empathy-but most of all, the gods had given him a quality of his own, something he could pass on to his children. They gave him fire. Fire that could bring down nations." Jasmine has been told stories of Avenlea since she was a child, but it isn't until she meets a handsome stranger who claims to be Avenlean that she starts considering that the myths could be true.
