Marmalade's Love Potion by brightwitchbrews

In the final days of autumn, a young princess climbs her favourite tree clutching a folded star of paper to her aching heart. Contained within its crisp lines are recountings of her dreams and darings... and a plea that she might, at last, be welcomed home. With a kiss for luck, she tosses her star to the southbound winds, and stumbles her way to a crumbling cottage in the deep woods. Years pass and the constellations spin, her pleas have gone unanswered. The princess grows, and her uncertainties are buried beneath the gentle earth of spurned hopes. It is now, when she has almost forgotten how to wish on morning stars, that an invitation of smoke and dream light arrives, carried on horseback by soldiers of a different kingdom; the Dark Moon Ball might prove her salvation. She does not yet know that love is an exquisite, wretched thing and that wishes are fickle as wisp light. She does not yet know that paths of magic have their own sense of poetry, and walking them presses footprints into the deepest sands of self, remaining even as the stars and seasons turn. She does not yet know that home is where you keep your north star.

Echoes of the Enchanted Sea by TeoNatsu

The sea is an unforgiving mistress, but none know her depths like Captain Niamh O'Connell. A bold and fearless leader, Niamh has spent her life carving a path through treacherous waters, fabled islands, and the looming shadows of ancient gods. Yet when the Morrigan-goddess of war and fate-marks her with a curse, Niamh's journey takes a darker turn. With danger lurking in every wave and whispers of a monstrous sea serpent haunting her quest, Niamh must rely on her wits, her crew, and an enigmatic selkie whose charm could melt even the hardest hearts. But in a world where loyalty is tested and myths become reality, the lines between friend and foe are never clear. As Niamh ventures into uncharted waters, where forgotten cities and cursed seas await, the greatest battle she faces may not be with the monsters of the deep, but with the secrets hidden in her own heart.

The Hunter's Pursuit by LeeraIvy

For centuries, the oceans of the world have served as a refuge for the pirates who sailed upon them, but many other dangerous creatures lurk beneath the surface and are now making themselves known. A terrible beast from ancient legends has returned and is now a plague upon the seas. The Pirate Lords are tasked with hunting down the beast, but tensions amongst them are fraught, making things more difficult, especially for Caspian and Primalia Flynn. They know that in order to face both threats surrounding them, they'll need help from someone who knows how to handle the larger of the two. The question is, will he be willing to take up his lance once more? And can he help them destroy the beast, or will another creature of the deep stand in their way? Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with sexual content, abuse, depression, gore, PTSD, and other topics which some might find triggering.
