An accomplished warrior and scholar, Kira has finally achieved her life-long goal of becoming the Hand of the Empress, her bodyguard and companion. But the capital city is more of a scorpion pit than a royal court, and there are many who want to see the Empress dead. Can Kira protect her ward, especially if she starts to fall in love with her?

* * *

Kira, daughter of poetry and blades, has had only one goal for as long as she can remember: become worthy of being named the First Hand of the Empress. To be her bodyguard, carer, and protector in a world where good leaders are not only needed, but targeted.

To this end, her life has followed a path of one determined to prove herself better than any and all alternatives. A deep seated pain lies within her, hidden like the secret crimes committed for her to survive this far. Its a secret that she would die for, rather than reveal, and one she is sure lies firmly in her past.

But with her success finally at hand, Kira realizes that she was anything but prepared. The simple world she had known mastering the ways of a spear-woman and scholar seems trivial in comparison to her new task of manoeuvring amongst the political campaigns of the Dragon Empress's Blood Court. The enigmatic Empress Hanaeri is another matter entirely. Something secret is happening behind those golden eyes, and in Kira's heart whenever she meets that gaze.

The poets of the century to come will call Kira "Black Fantail", an ill omen of death, and the deeds they will write about begin the day that she falls in love with the woman she was meant to protect.

* * *

ATTENTION! Black Fantail is currently on HIATUS as I am writing my Masters Thesis. I'm looking forward to continuing Kira's journey as soon as I can. Expected to resume in June 2020.

The Light of Miera: A Guard's Request (Book 1) by WriterMashashy
19 parts Complete Mature
(Epic Fantasy/LGBT Romance) COMPLETED & PUBLISHING A Guard's Request will be published with Fantastic Books Publishing in October of 2023, but I have decided to leave this early draft up for anyone who can't wait until then. With the creation of the Valnyr Galaxy, the Guardians vowed never to interfere with the affairs of the mortal realm. However, when sinister forces seek to steal the power of the Manastream, Alamantra's Guardian finds that some oaths are easier to keep than others. Life is about to change for the citizens of Freya as a blight sweeps across the land, corrupting the mana held within their bodies. Princess Arafrey finds herself stripped of all she holds dear, alone on the frontlines. However, there is hope as guards Reyla and Tharin take on a quest from the Gods to cure the sickness, leaving Freya to traverse the Ten Kingdoms in search of The Hand of Miera. But will they be able to find it in time? Meanwhile, in the East, The Duran Empire marshals their forces as the Emperor seeks to invade the starved desserts of Sudra. But the Sudra hold a terrible secret and Queen Nymati will not go down without a fight. * * * Imagine if Tim Burton and Joss Whedon got together to make a story to rival Full Metal Alchemist or Fairy Tail: that's my writing style. I hit some pretty deep topics but I try keep it light and entertaining. Trigger Warnings/Mature Content: I will post trigger warnings at the beginning of scenes to warn people, but let's make a list here just to be sure. Sex, survivors guilt, suicide, rape, murder, gay/lesbian sex, masturbation, assault, torture, addiction... There maybe more I missed, let me know if you feel I should add anything else.

The winter season turns out well for Zoey Smith, a twenty-four-year-old who holds the town's safety in her hands has a dark secret until someone by the name of Alexander Griffin, a rich, sadistic vampire who knows her secret decides to turn her life upside down, these two will now have to live together. Will there be bloodshed or love between these two? Sneak Peek: "I have a proposition for you.", he said as he sat back down and crossed his legs. "And if I don't want to sign it or have anything to do with you? What then?", she snapped back. Zoey was the type to always fight back. She was never the type to take a no for an answer. "Your reputation as a vigilante will be exposed and above all...your father will die at your hands. All because of your stupidity and selfishness of taking up a mask to wear at night yet you don't even think about the consequences" "What is the proposition?", she muttered under her breath gently. "Oh well, you will stay here with me, in this mansion with me." "Why do you want me to stay here?!", she questioned in confusion. "Do you remember the night before? On the alleyway, you killed my cousin." She choked on her tea as she heard this and tried to hide her laughter."Oh....I'm sorry...but on a serious note, he was not a nice person. He kidnapped and murdered children." He sat next to her and started to talk, "You're right, he deserved it", he chuckled."Please consider the proposition." It's my original story.

Ivan's Queen by WYLD_ROSE
31 parts Complete
Book 4 of The Alpha Series! Cannot be read as a standalone book! Highest rank: #1 in Werewolf genre on 06/11/2019! Amelia Reid and Ivan Romanov were once childhood friends that would see each other every summer. But that all changes when Ivan stops visiting. A few years later, they meet again. But this time, they don't see each other as friends. Join Amelia's journey as she tries to peel back the many layers of Ivan Romanov while finding her place in a completely different world. *** "They show what you've been through, and I think that's beautiful." I whisper back, running my fingers through his hair. "Hell, you're ten times stronger than I could ever be." In an instant, he turns around to lay on his back with me straddling his waist. I blush at the position, his hand caressing my heated cheek adoringly. His emerald gems hold an array of emotions, flickering across too quickly for me to catch and decipher. So, I choose to admire him instead. I meant what I said. Ivan is so breathtakingly handsome that it hurts sometimes. His midnight black hair is always tousled sexily, eyes bright and alert, there's two freckles by his right brow and one by his chin. His lips are full and most of the time they're either in a frown or a straight line, but I manage to catch several small smiles throughout the day. He's quite muscular but whenever he holds me I feel safe and protected, as if I'm in a soft cocoon. "You don't need to be strong." His low murmur snaps me out of my trance. "You have me, I'll always protect you." "You protect me from the world and I'll protect you from yourself, deal?" I smile softly when he laughs, nodding in agreement.
