Christina Casey has been a part of the shadow world all her life.

Growing up in The Shadow Guard, the assassin organisation that is at the disposal of the royal family, she is surrounded by desperate serfs searching for gold and the strongest warriors the military has to offer. And amongst these many men and few women grappling for high-paying missions, she is the best of the best.

In the kingdom of Featherheart, Christina has been assigned protector of Princess Eleanor, her cover: the betrothed of the future king, Prince Caspian. The problem: Caspian's charming persona and mischevious ways are threatening to steal her heart, and she can only play the part as a neighbouring princess for so long, until she finds the person offering the steep price on the Princess's head. 

In a world of feuding kingdoms, families battling for power and handsome young men grappling for her heart, Christina must figure out who is on her side, and who her enemies are.

~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.

The Thorn on the Roses by JuliMarie24
22 parts Complete Mature
A Queen forged in blood. A kingdom built on lies. A love doomed to the flames. Asterin Anthea was supposed to be dead. Instead, she stands in the heart of the kingdom that stole everything from her, wearing a name that isn't hers, playing a game designed to destroy her. Disguised as Princess Lorelei Blackwater, she enters the deadly Trials of Tavasz-a brutal competition where the strongest contender will win the hand of Prince Sebastian Rose and the crown of the kingdom that murdered her family. But Asterin has no intention of being a wife. She has come to reclaim what was stolen. To take back Tavasz. To bring down King Darian Rose and his bloodstained reign from the inside. With every trial, the court watches. The nobles whisper. The enemies lurking in the shadows grow restless. And then there's Cassian-her oldest friend, her fiercest protector, the boy who would burn the world down for her if she asked. But even he cannot save her from the weight of what she must do. As the trials push her to the brink, Asterin finds herself trapped in a tangled web of power and deception-one woven by Sebastian himself. The prince is not the foolish, arrogant boy she expected. He is clever. Dangerous. And worst of all, he sees her. When the final trial demands the ultimate sacrifice, Asterin must decide: Will she become the Queen they want her to be? Or the monster they never saw coming?

Cursed. That's how seventeen-year-old Kayden Branimir, the realm's deadliest assassin, views herself. Some believe she could save the world with her rare healing magic, but she gave up on her powers long ago after failing to save her best friend. Her life changes when she receives a letter from her supposedly dead twin brother, Alaric, begging to be rescued from rival territory Leodia. For the first time since her friend's accident, Kayden is determined to be the hero, but she must learn to embrace her magic--and herself--along the way. Strange. Unnatural.

Forced into the queen's service, Zara wants to escape and return home, but she has nothing to offer the queen in exchange for her freedom.

Vixen Nightbloom is an assassin feared across kingdoms, a blade honed in darkness and blood. Trained by the ruthless Alaric, who shaped her into his perfect weapon, Vixen has spent her life running from her past, haunted by shadows and the faces of those she's killed. When she's captured and chained, stripped of her powers and caged within Shadow lock prison, Vixen must navigate a deadly game of alliances and betrayals, playing the roles of prisoner, protector, and something far more dangerous. King Malachi and his captain, Ezra, are torn between their desire to keep Vixen close and the growing fear that she's far more than she appears.

But when whispers of rebellion surface, and Alaric returns to reclaim her as his weapon, Vixen's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. Caught between the loyalty of those who would kill for her and the men who would die to save her, Vixen must confront the truth she's buried for so long-her destiny as the last heir of a fallen kingdom and the power that lies dormant within her blood. As the lines between enemy and ally blur, and the pull of a long-forgotten throne beckons, Vixen must decide whether to rise from the ashes or let the darkness consume her once more. In a world where trust is a fragile illusion and power comes at a deadly price, Vixen's next move could save a kingdom-or destroy it.
