Jewels of the Crown by heliotropegirl

Adellia has grown up surrounded by rules and regulations. She's been prepped from birth to eventually reside in the throne that has been in her family for what feels like forever. Unfortunately, her destiny is quickly approaching. Her father is dead, and her mother has only a couple of months to live according to doctors. All eyes in the castle, and kingdom, turn to Adellia expecting her to step into her mother's shoes. However, both women aren't ready to give up their lives just yet. Wanting to learn more about her kingdom, and the people of it, before she is forced into an arranged marriage and the throne for the rest of her life, Adellia ventures out into the kingdom to do just that. While there, Adellia meets a young blacksmith by the name of Faron and gets sucked into a plot that goes against her, and her mother's wishes. Will she be able to venture into the unknown, and survive out of the watchful eye of the palace? This book has sexual reference and mentions of things that could possibly be triggering to some - e.g. young motherhood and loss of a parent. This work is usually split into two parts, but I have decided to take down the second part, and consider the first part, one book for now, so I can work on the second. When the second part/book has been finished, I'll decide whether I like it as one book or to reincorporate the rest of the book to make it one. Entered in the Wattys(2020)!

Eyes Like The Ocean | A Culled Crown Novella by BriannaJoyCrump

Book 1.5 - The Culled Crown Series. A Culled Crown Novella. Ten girls. Nine bodies. One crown. If given the chance to be queen, would you take it? Viera Kevlar is goddess-touched, one of ten female heirs to the Erydian throne. She is a poisoner, the first girl in the history of the Culling to ever be blessed with such an ability. Despite her own reservations and desires, she will have to fight for the crown. She may have to die for it. If she wins the Culling by killing the other nine candidates, then she will be crowned queen of Erydia. Her family will be invited to live in the palace and her mother might have access to healers who could save her life. But to be queen, she may have to lose the one thing she cares most about-- herself. This is a novella that acts as a prequel to Monroe Benson's story--"The Culled Crown." I would suggest reading that novel before reading this one. Although this story takes place before Monroe's Culling, this novella should be read between book one and book two.

Malevolent by MISSY_M00

I have always been angry. My life, to say the least, has been interesting. I guess 'interesting' could be a synonym for bad luck. Luck that all started with the colour green. I have always despised the colour green. It was what got me into this mess, but somehow, it seemed, would also get me out. My luck started when I crossed paths with the green-eyed butterfly. Only eight years old, yet it taunted me in a way I couldn't deny. Introducing me to my first experience of fear, for I was no longer a normal child, it was time to say goodbye. Thus, the war began, and to even the score I was forced to bore the scars that had stolen my childhood. From that day forwards, my bad luck continued until I met another pair of green eyes. And for the second time in my life, I stared fear in the face. To the man I will meet, will you use your power to save the good and defeat the bad? Or will you hate what you've gained, only to love what you had? Torn between the love of family and the freedom I desire.... pushed to decide between the comfort of safety or the danger that arises... I will cooperate or suffer the consequences? Maybe love and magic is all that is needed to secure the Crown of Wolves.
