Clues to a dark legacy tied to powerful enemies-and the dangerous game Sofia and her brothers were born into. Now, silence is her weapon. Family is her only shield. And trust? A luxury they can't afford. To survive, Sofia must decode her mother's secrets, stay one step ahead of those who want her gone-and write a new ending. Because the old one? Was never hers. Found family. Fierce brothers. Deadly secrets. Welcome to the game. 📖 Bonus content & exclusive chapters: https://substack.com/@theprincessher4knights

Polyphia by summerblossom01

Six stories. One final year. Everything is about to change. Camilla wants nothing more than to get senior year over with. She doesn't believe in permanence, and certainly doesn't believe that anything real can come out of high school. Not even love. Ryan, the quiet classmate, is on the edge of something bigger: a journey of self-discovery that will force him to confront who he really is. At his side, Lily-the wallflower-hides behind invisibility at school, while living a double life as the "perfect daughter" at home. Ashley, the golden girl, pushes herself to be flawless, desperate to conceal the grief of losing someone and the loneliness that gnaws at her. Jack, the star athlete, begins to realize there's more to life than popularity and trophies-especially when it comes to breaking through Camilla's walls. And Elijah, the drifter, wants only one thing: to belong, to find the love and home he's never known. They never expected to collide. But one year will tie them together in ways none of them saw coming-through heartbreak and laughter, secrets and revelations, the fragile bonds of friendship, and the messy beginnings of love. Six lives. One unforgettable story about growing up, letting go, and finding out who you really are when the world finally notices you.
