The Blood of the Bound (Reverse Harem) by enlypaige
37 parts Complete Mature
Book One In Nytherra, magic isn't just power. It's identity. In a realm where elemental magic shapes society, and ancient Houses govern with unyielding power, humans are little more than shadows, weak, forgotten, and bound to servitude. Vampires, shifters, sirens, fae, and more are all bound to their House, their legacy, and their pride. Humans like Lyria don't belong. Orphaned, lowborn, and barely registering on a magical scan, her admittance into Ophidian Hall is a mystery no one can explain, least of all her. But there is something ancient in her blood, something that doesn't fit into the world's rigid four-House order. From the cold halls of House Storm, where witches and fae weave their intricate spells, to the fiery pride of House Flame's vampires, the grounded strength of Stone's werewolves, and the elusive depths of Tide's aquatic folk, Lyria wants no part in ancient rivalries. Despite this, she's forced into a perilous game of politics, magic, and legacy, where she finds herself inexplicably bound to four volatile suitors, each more dangerous and tempting than the last.

A MODERN MEDIEVAL FANTASY #3 in Fantasy |Book 1 of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy| When darkness arises and the world of Fantasy is in danger of being destroyed, the Dragon Riders are the first to show up. Fire and fang, sword and shaft, meet the enemy head on and the wars don't end until the enemy is disbanded. It's not a pretty business, but it must be done to secure the lives of every creature within Fantasy. There are two Rider schools - over thousands of Riders and dragons - and Smoke Green is one of them, no matter how much she dislikes the idea and the heights. Her fate has been chosen, even if she doesn't want it. With a vacant father, a mother who has too many secrets, four older sisters, an older brother, and a three minute older, annoying twin brother, Smoke isn't expected to be much more than a hometown girl of Folklore; who will get a boring desk job and never leave home. But then the Sage of the Burrows proclaims her a Dragon Rider and a Fifth Daughter and Smoke's life changes stories - literally. Moving from Folklore to Legend, Smoke is taught that fears can be conquered and villains do have a hunger for power. She also learns she might just have the power this villain is after. She makes friends: Something she didn't know she could do, she finds her dragon: Someone she didn't know even existed, and she learns her past: Something she didn't know was so complicated. But when rebellions begin to break out across the globe; the world of Fantasy is once again put in danger and the Dragon Riders might not be able to save their home this time around. Especially, when the enemy is from one of their own royal families; once thought incinerated, and his accomplice might just be Smoke's long thought dead father. In this first book of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy, J.J. wants you to forget everything you think you know of mythology and open your mind to a new kind of fantasy.

In the silence of her suffering, something ancient began to whisper her name. Lyra Duskbane was born different-an intersex girl in a world that only worships perfection. Her father is gone, her stepmother delights in cruelty, and her stepsister treats her like dirt beneath polished shoes. Bruises fade, but the whispers never stop: useless, pathetic, unwanted. Yet when the darkness answers her silent prayers, everything begins to change.

It doesn't just watch her. It claims her. Drawn into a dangerous bond she never asked for, Lyra finds herself caught between fear and temptation. The shadow promises freedom. Power. Belonging. But it also hungers for her in ways she cannot yet understand. As hunters close in and her stepfamily schemes to break her, Lyra must decide: Will she remain the broken girl they tried to destroy? Or embrace the darkness that calls her name-and become something the world has never seen before? A dark fantasy slow-burn romance where survival collides with forbidden desire, betrayal bleeds into destiny, and love might cost more than a soul.

Taniel (The Taverner's Daughter I) by ChristineJRandall
113 parts Complete
THE TAVERNER'S DAUGHTER - BOOK ONE FANTASY, MAGIC, DRAGONS, ROMANCE, WINGED WIZARDS. Please Note: The rest of this series will not be published until the complete series is drafted and revised - probably another four volumes over the next year. However, this book doesn't end on some really bad cliffhanger, and I think it has a satisfactory 'end' feel, so do read it if you wish. After mistaking a leather-clad wizard for a dragonrider, the taverner's daughter agrees to binding vows: Jarryd hopes for a magic-saving paternity spell but Taniel just wants his dragon. Of course, it is not that simple. It never is. Others have plans for Taniel and can do without Jarryd's interference. Taniel's father is little help, too busy dealing with a guilty conscious and pining for his missing wife. Add talking dragons, kidnappings, a gallivanting Grandmaster Wizard, a wicked stepfather, seductive shape shifting winged wizards, and midwitchery. Stir with rumour of plotting land-locked pirates, spies, feisty forest sprites, rockgoblins, and a failing magical barrier. Welcome to the world of A Corrangorachian Fantasy. SOME MILD MATURE MOMENTS (but maybe not enough to mark MATURE): A few not-particularly-graphic sex scenes. Violence? Could get nasty, depending on your perception. Drug Use? Pipe smoking, copious alcohol, and the odd potion. And some coarse language, of course. (AUSTRALIAN - BRITISH ENGLISH)
