The Mystery Girl by SiaYadav07

"It was dark, darker than black. Spider webs all over, clinging down the slim lane. There stood in front of me, a grey painting of a grey Queen. Only her crown shining in vibrant colours. I looked at it, around it, and above it. As my steps reached behind the painting, I slipped off, falling in more darkness. At this point, there was no difference in keeping my eyelids open or close. There, I saw the flash of light that can either change my life completely, or finish it, completely." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #215 in Warriors #109 in Epic #239 in India (Last I'd checked) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suzanne, a 22 year old intern finds a mysterious map in a book she was reading.

As a gambler's daughter, Frances was resigned to spending her life masquerading as a boy, learning how to shoot a pistol and fight with a sword. Constantly moving from town to town, it was far safer than being a girl. But when her father dies suddenly, she must pack her bags and return to England, to search for the family she has never met. Hoping to find her place at last, the last thing Frances expects is that she will need to continue the masquerade - or risk her life and her heart. A light-hearted regency romance.

Her face contorted with disgust. He chuckled and gently tugged her nose, 'All in good time, Anamika. The cosmos waits for everyone.' She was surprised, 'It does?' He nodded, 'Of course it does. How else would you explain the coexistence of so many souls?' 'I thought they just went on. The higher souls go to the Devlok and they forget about us.' He shook his head, 'No, they don't. Indeed, they stay there in the Devlok for some time but when they're done enjoying the fruit of their good deeds, they go back to the Prithvilok.' He paused, 'It's birth and death over and over again.' ; Join Anamika and Keval as they venture into the depths of war and death- from normal beings of the earth to the strongest of the two warring realms. Both felt worthless, both were broken, both were afraid. But worthlessness can be fought, brokenness can be mended, fears can be faced. They feared for themselves for the Heaven they were promised seemed lost, gone to waste. . . . #1 in Sunflower Awards 2.0 #2 in The Sapphire Awards

Regency Romance: The Earl's Obsession (Historical Romance) (COMPLETED) by charlottestonebooks

(COMPLETED) It's 1817 and there is nothing more a woman wants than to marry a rich man and live a life of comfort. But not Nancy Brooks. Having spent half her life helping her mother run her laundry shop and the other half in the local library, Nancy knows what she wants, and it is not a life spent looking for the perfect suitor. Things take a turn when she delivers clothes to one of the schools she always dreamed of attending and ends up saving the day. Lord Andrew Montgomery rules almost every place he sets foot in-one of the perks of being the son of the most powerful duke of the time-and this includes Oxford. Violent and aggressive, he vows to make the life of every student who dares defy him miserable. However, when he targets the new (and first) girl at Oxford, his obsession becomes a little more than just making her life miserable. It began, he would later speculate, with a shout: the simple sound of someone shouting at him-for the first time in his life. It began, she would later speculate, with a catch: the simple movement of strong arms, breaking her fall, catching her midway. But after that, there would come many more events, and ones not too keen on bringing them together. What will they do when a powerful duchess steps in, when it seems every person is working to keep them apart? This is a story of betrayal and love, because they are not so different after all...

VIKING AND THE TIGRESS. by Central_vee

She was never one to be swayed... Trained to have a hard exterior from when she was just a fledgling, she had a hard time confronting these conflicting sentiments that'd raided her. She was never one to be religious... But after the incident, she prayed to whatever god there was. She was never one to believe in love... But the outcome of that history brought along a foreign feeling, one that she always pleaded to be freed from. She was one to be strong, to completely dispose of problems that may arise to be an issue. She believed in her power and knew that only she took whatever means to get to where she was. She was one to fight like never before, not caring if they had families. But... Now she'd gone soft, and she knew it. So it was either she disposed of the root of her problems, or be disposed. ~×~ Betrayed by her friend and ditched on her supposed lover, she is being imprisoned for what she thought was right after her last hope of family abandons her. Now banished from the Kingdom to an unknown land, the young female must find a way to survive and have her revenge. But alas, the damned gods were never on her side this time to begin with. It's a tug of war, and time's running out. Who will win? Will it be the tigress? Or shall the Vikings conquer? Find out in... THE VIKING AND THE TIGRESS.
