damselindistress fantasy femaleprotagonist kidnapped knight knightinshiningarmor lessons romance sword

Cleo is everything a heroine shouldn't be. Prideful, arrogant, obnoxious, rude, badly mannered, egotistical, and generally of the opinion that she is superior to everyone and everything. She handles a sword better than her cutlery, and loathes the "weakness" she associates with acting feminine. She's the first cousin of the royal heirs, and has grown up entirely too pampered. 

All that changes when someone comes along and curses her. And what curse could be better, but a curse to forever be seen as a "damsel in distress"?

And much as she plans on being her own knight in shining armor, she might have to let someone else save her for once.All Rights Reserved

Forget the plot, let's become a Runaway Witch! by MagpieWithAQuill

Isn't it said that you should give away what you don't use? After losing my life, I became the Villainess in a novel I didn't even finish. That was alright; I had asked for this second chance, after all. Even if I didn't think my desperate pleas were going to be answered like this, I would not waste this chance. Living with my family was comfortable, but my ambitions were big. Still, the first thing to do was to evade the death flags. For that, I have to evade the Crown Prince at all costs. As a commoner, if he sees me and takes me as a concubine like in the original, it will be very troublesome. But what is this!? Didn't my parents tell you I was sick? Go away and enjoy the festival, and leave me alone! We don't know each other! If he is so insistent on taking me with him, then there is no other choice: I will run away from home! Mother, father, Lanto...I'm sorry. I hope your heads don't roll because of this. I sincerely enjoyed our time together. I learnt a lot from my father. Maybe becoming a wandering witch is not so bad... ... Isn't this how reincarnation stories usually go? With an obsessed male lead who suddenly shows interest in the reincarnated protagonist? But I'm completely honest when I say I will never marry or fall in love with this dude. And no, it's not just the usual 'protagonist who will later be proved wrong' talk. I will not let this become a cliche, damn it!

The Atonement of a Writer by 1OnceUponAFairytale1

Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lighthearted

A Past Life Princess by HumorousSarcasm

Cleo, a 14 year old girl who had friends, a family, a nice house. She lived a normal life.. until one day she gets kidnapped and taken away to a kingdom.

Damsel Knight by samaustinwriter

Sometimes the best knight is a damsel. In a world where women are seen as weak, defenceless creatures for men to protect and own, one orphan girl wants to be different. She dreams of being a knight. Slaying dragons, taking down armies with her father's sword. Only her foster parents don't agree with her views. On the night of her betrothal to a man over twice her age, the King's soldiers come to their tiny village, and in the chaotic aftermath she's left with a choice. Go back to life she knows and marry a man she despises. Or journey onward and risk death to earn the knighthood she dreams of. The road forward isn't a safe one for a girl travelling with only her foster brother as company. Magic lurks in dark places. Vengeance burrows deep in many equally dark hearts. And all around the circle armies are gathering to defend the Kingdom against a threat not seen for a thousand years. This is the first part of the 140 thousand word fantasy adventure.

Tempted H.S. by suckerbabyxoxo

Sequel to Temptress I can't find the original description to this book, but if you're here then you already pretty much know what's going on, right? Basically, Harry and Cleo are on the run. Will they get caught? Idk let's read and find out :) *This is NOT my original work, just a reupload!* (I copied and pasted this straight from a PDF so there might be times the format/spacing might be funky. I just wanted to get it all up, but I'll make edits to the format as I read along if needed!)

I Dare You by AsherMars

"Reject me." His eyes lightened a little, with surprise and he pulled away from me slightly. "Reject me Will, I dare you." The future is what you make of it. Although for Cleo, the future was not something she had any control over. The life she once knew was gone in a single breath, and from that moment on it was a dark and twisted nightmare. The plot to kill her was inevitable-with a psychotic and jealous blonde at the helm, but it was the unexpected betrayals that kept her in the fight. Who knew reclaiming control over one's future would include so much fur? •ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED TO ME• Please don't copy/steal my ideas. It's not cool. I've worked really hard to make this story amazing and something everyone will love. If you have any questions/inquiries about my book, please DM me immediately- I would love to talk to you about it! Happy reading my lovelies! xx
