The Offering by megan_rose_writes
77 parts Complete
Almost a century ago, the fae discovered they could no longer bear children-and humanity paid the price. A treaty was forged: The Offering. Once every couple of decades, young fertile women are taken from their homes and delivered to the fae realm, destined to become wives for fae lords. Treasured. Trapped. Chosen. Daella always knew it could happen to her. But when the fae come, she isn't ready. And she sure as hell isn't willing. Now forced to live inside a gilded palace among the other chosen, Daella must learn the ways of the fae world-obedience, grace, and silence. She refuses. Her defiance draws the attention of the three fae princes, each bound by duty... and each dangerously intrigued by the human girl who dares to fight back. As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom. And in a realm built on secrets and power, she might be the spark that sets everything ablaze.

Heart of Magic by ElisDndl
5 parts Ongoing
Prince Cahal of Aethermoor has always been different. His heart magic allows him to heal emotional wounds and read the feelings of others, but it also makes him vulnerable to every shadow of fear and despair. When ancient creatures begin breaking through the failing barriers that protect his world, Al finds himself facing a terrifying truth: to survive, his kingdom must ally with their oldest enemies. The alliance comes in the form of Prince Dames of Valdris - a warrior whose body magic can crush stone and bend steel, but who views Al's emotional abilities as weakness. Cold, arrogant, and devastatingly powerful, Dames has been sent as Al's bodyguard, a protection that feels more like an insult than aid. But when darkness invades Al's dreams and void creatures hunt him through nightmares made real, the two princes discover their magic works better together than apart. Body and heart, strength and compassion: they're stronger as partners than as enemies. The problem is that saving the world requires more than magical compatibility. It requires complete trust. As the barriers collapse and creatures of living shadow pour into their realm, Al and Dames must forge a bond deeper than alliance, stronger than magic and more powerful than the ancient hatred between their kingdoms. Because the only weapon capable of destroying creatures of pure malevolence is something the princes are just learning to wield: Love. But love demands sacrifice, and some prices may be too high to pay - even for salvation.

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.

Our Forever Flame by SerenityMoretti
59 parts Complete Mature
Seventeen-year-old Princess Ember of the Phoenix Kingdom was born into an era of uneasy peace. For years, her people and the Dragon Kingdom have coexisted under a fragile truce, the remnants of ancient wars buried beneath a thin veil of diplomacy. But peace, like fire, is unpredictable-and all it takes is one spark to set everything ablaze. That spark ignites just days after Ember meets Nineteen-year-old Prince Xiodis. Their encounter is unplanned, their connection instant-two heirs from rival lands, drawn together by something deeper than duty or alliance. Ember is flame: fierce, impulsive, and full of heart. Xiodis is the calm before the storm: sharp, composed, and unshakably strong. In each other, they find something rare-understanding in a world that only expects obedience. But just as they begin to uncover what they truly mean to each other, Xiodis is betrothed to Princess Ella of the Wolf Kingdom, sealing an alliance that threatens everything he and Ember have begun to build in secret. Now, with the bonds of loyalty pulling them in opposite directions, Ember and Xiodis must choose: betray their hearts or betray their kingdoms. Because in a world where love is a liability, every choice comes with a cost. Our Forever Flame is a tale of love caught in the crossfire, of destiny rewritten, and of two hearts who dared to hope for more-even as the world around them burns.
