The Children of Destiny by The_NB_Dragon

¡TW! Character death, child abuse, child death, war, gore, violence, mentioned racism(ish) ¡TW! (If any of these themes upset you, you don't have to read this!) Evander, a young boy who was supposedly kicked out of his tribe and raised by flying snake-tailed lions basically his entire life, finds out that he and another kid are part of a very important prophecy that could stop the big war that's going on. Before he does anything, however, he has to find the other child of the prophecy before anyone else does to fulfill the prophecy. Will the perilous journey through tribe territory get him killed because of his so-called "dangerous" abilities or will he survive long enough to see the war finally come to an end as he's always hoped it would?

Light by miaomiao83

Jasper is the typical prince you don't want to piss off; cold, unforgiving, and mysterious. He is alright with living his life with this cold facade, having fully prepared himself for dying alone and friendless. He doesn't want to do anything about his boring life, for he believes himself far too lazy to achieve anything substantial. Unfortunately, all that changes when he is forced into a marriage with a lord's daughter, and his long lost brother suddenly resurfaces. As deeply buried emotions start to tug at his heart, how long can he keep up his 'facade'? I SHLD BE ADDING TRIGGER WARNINGS here it goes (takes a deep breath) Graphic violence & torture Psychological abuse & manipulation Captivity & imprisonment Forced servitude Self-destructive behavior Blood, injuries, chronic illness / disability PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, dissociation, body dysmorphia (Listing some of Jas's mental illnesses out like a cake recipe) Death of family members / execution Power imbalance & morally grey protagonist Subtle themes of toxic dynamics REALLY dubious consent Hopelessness and despair Moral corruption Implied sexual trauma Public humiliation & degredation Grooming undertones and control (i'm looking at u elios) Love as manipulation Self loathing&blame Panic attacks Execution scenes Confinement and starvation

The Beast's Beauty by Curious_writer101

He had everything he could ever want; luxuries, fine meals, power, respect... He needed nothing more than himself in the realm to fill his empty heart. Alexander, a prideful, arrogant, and powerful King is cursed to live in the hideous form of a monstrous beast after showing his heartless ways at a masquerade ball. Desperately, King Xander uses all of his own sources of magic to try and break the hell-bound curse, all while staying defiant in following the Enchantress' prophesy of love. After years of living hidden in the castle walls, time and hope began running out for the King and all his servants, who were cursed alongside him. If the King never tried following the love prophecy, could it perhaps be his last chance at redemption? 𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒... it was almost laughable. How could a heartless King ever love? And most importantly, how could someone ever love a beast? *I only write when it's cold* ❄️⛈️ #1 in Innerconflict! - 7/5/2025 #6 in lgbtlove 🥹

Sword of the Heart ~ Knight x Princess by twilighttanya

Knight x Princess In a kingdom ruled by fear and tradition, lies a knight and a princess. A knight, cloaked in armor and rumor, wearing a mask that hides a soul weighed down by sorrow and hatred. A princess, being swallowed by expectation, overlooked by those too loud to notice her pain. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage neither of them chose, it is meant to be a sentence. A punishment for her, a strategy for him. But behind guarded eyes and sharp silences, something begins to stir. He sees the quiet fire in her that no one else bothered to notice. She sees the man behind the blade, the one who bleeds and the one who hides. In stolen glances. In late-night conversations and lingering silences. She begins to see the man beneath the steel. He begins to hear the voice behind her silence. But love is dangerous in a world like theirs. Because secrets are buried deep within the castle walls. And neither of them truly knows the other's past... or what their union is truly meant to ignite. He was forged to destroy. She was taught to endure. Together, they may either save a kingdom...or burn it to ash. When sword meets silence, when fear meets fury... what will be born of it? What destiny awaits when the fearsome knight's fury meets the silent strength of the quiet princess? Together, can they rewrite the fate that neither could face alone? *note~i do not own any pictures/images that are uploaded throughout the entirety of this book...all rights go to the rightful owners*

All I Need ✔️ by Chronically-Chaotic

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

Loyalties by bl-sensei

Abd i'Adhith has always done everything for their kingdom, everything they were asked to do. But when their ruler suddenly abandons them on enemy territory, their whole world is flipped upside down, especially since this enemy kingdom seems ideal and welcoming. But it's not so easy turning the page on a kingdom you gave your entire life for, even if it would mean a better life. Torn between loyalty, betrayal, love, hate, identity, culture, beliefs, religion, family, friends, and acceptance, Abd i'Adhith only tries to survive through their loss without loosing themselves in the process. I'm really looking forward to constructive criticism, so feel free to let me know what you think of each chapter.

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.
