The King is dead.

CORA RIVERHEART, heir to a broken kingdom and a war she did not want, is on her way to the capital and its ice Castle. On her way to take the throne of a people who do not want her.
RYLAN BROWNJAY, an assassin and a rebel, has his bones to pick to with the rulers of Ecrin. So here he is, sword in hand and magic in his veins, ready to kill the new Queen.
But everything goes wrong when the Queen and her High Lord prove too strong to take down in combat and Rylan's only way of survival is to swear a blood oath, binding himself to the very people he has been trained to fight.
With Cora trying to rebuild the kingdom and Rylan trying to save it, alliances are made and broken, beasts of whispers and nightmares are awoken, dreams are forged and forgotten, and the dead past rises from the stones. Will one of them triumph or will they both fall to blood and rebellion and conquest?

Long live the Queen.

"You can't tell anyone." His words hit me hard, but I was ready for them. I grimaced slightly, but did my best to hide it as I squeezed my arms in response. "Fine," I said, nodding at him but not wanting to meet his eyes. I was met with silence. "Was there anything else?" I bit off, my tone a little more irritated than I intended it to be. He raised an eyebrow at me, and I felt almost naked as he studied me. His expression wasn't completely cold, but I couldn't figure out what else it held. "I wasn't expecting this," he admitted eventually, as if this were the easiest topic in the world. "I didn't ask for it to happen right now. In fact, the timing is rather terrible. And I'm sorry for that. But no one can know about this, okay? No one." "I said fine," I snapped. "Why don't you just reject me and put me out of my misery? I guarantee I can do it again." He blinked, taken aback by her sudden outburst. "You... already had a mate? And you were rejected? Who is he?" "You don't need to know," I replied, tilting my head to one side as I narrowed my eyes at him. "If you want to keep secrets, then so can I." I wasn't off to a great start with him, but only the Moon Goddess knew that it was only going to get worse from here. . . . Rhea Riverwood has already been rejected once by the man she thought to be her mate, so when she's given a second chance, she can hardly believe her luck when it comes in the form of heartbreaker James Severin, King of the Alpha Werewolves and Rhea's second fated mate. Rhea struggles to come to terms with who she is and where she came from as James struggles with his feelings for her, but they need to pull their shit together fast when someone close makes it very clear they want revenge and the royal throne, and won't stop at murder to get them.

Wicked Hearts by xyczsvi
11 parts Ongoing
In a world where souls can be stolen but never replaced, love and deception become a deadly game. *** Elowyn Emberveil died at eighteen, consumed by flames that devoured her home in Grandcrest. But death wasn't the end. Rescued by the enigmatic Chooser, her soul was exiled to the Island of the Spared Souls-a purgatory for those not bound for eternal torment. Survival meant stealing: devouring human souls to inhabit their bodies. For 173 years, Elowyn has endured, her spirit trapped in the decaying body of a 90-year-old woman. When a young, radiant girl arrives on the island, Elowyn sees her salvation. Consumed by desperation, she claims the girl's soul, unknowingly seizing the body of Princess Isabel Morrow, second in line to the kingdom of Ivor. Returning to the royal city with Isabel's devoted knight-and former lover-Raven Sinclair, Elowyn finds herself entangled in a life she never wanted and emotions she's never known. As Raven's unwavering love for Isabel tugs at her fractured soul, Elowyn begins to wonder: can a thief of souls deserve redemption? But secrets can't stay buried forever. As Elowyn struggles to maintain her facade, the truth of Isabel's fate looms. What will Raven do when he learns the woman he loves is gone-and the soul he now holds close is a stranger? And what will Elowyn sacrifice to hold onto a love that was never hers to begin with?

In a world where power is built on blood, betrayal, and dark magic, the price of survival is steep. The great houses of the realm once ruled with iron fists but now, with the monarchy on its last breath, war is on the horizon. Each family seeks the throne, willing to deceive, manipulate, and spill blood to claim it. But something far worse stirs beneath their feet. A long-forgotten prophecy begins to unfold, tying the fates of these rival houses together. Ancient evils awaken in forbidden ruins, shadow demons whisper in the dark, and the dead refuse to stay buried. As supernatural horrors creep closer, noble heirs are forced into political marriages that may secure alliances or end in betrayal. Beyond the walls of wealth and power, the oppressed rise. The poor, long crushed under the heels of the nobility, are done waiting for justice. As rebellion brews in the streets and assassins strike, the realm is on the edge of chaos. Will the houses unite against the coming darkness, or will their thirst for spilling blood and power doom them all?

(Completed) Two assassins were set to kill a girl. No questions asked. Just kill her and claim their prize. That was their mission. Except one of them was not supposed to visit Volney, the land of the dead and the other fall in love with a girl and totally forget about his mission to kill. For an heir who had dedicated her entire life for her kingdom, fate was not kind. Her sister should have returned home after her visit to her aunt's place. Her kingdom must have been safe, both terrestrial and by sea. But does anything ever goes planned? As a general, she must now decide. Kingdom or family? Suffice to say, slavery was the safest option for a bride. Hated by the king's daughter, she wonders what she had ever done in her life to deserve her hate. With her friend of fifteen years gone to join the rebellion, and without realising what it would cost her, she makes new friends. But would they keep her alive? Or would they sell her for their life? Friendships will be tested. Foes will become allies. Hunted will become the Hunter. And lover will become the betrayer. Not edited! Cover made by @Shadowsleek
