Masquerade by emmaklively

The kingdom of Verlockend has a secret. Within its emerald green hills and spanning lakes lies a deadly curse. Behind its citizens' extravagant masks exists a condition beyond compare: hideous boils that cover every face. For as long as Fawn has known, this is the way life has been under the rule of King Malin; everyone within its walls is mandated to wear a mask at all times, so as not to reveal the cause of Verlockend's mysterious solitude to its enemies. The curse that covered the miles of fruitful land long ago is not only hard to look at, but deadly as citizens continue to age. The elderly members of the community are starting to disappear more and more often, sent far away from civilization due to the violent characteristics of the curse. Their heartbroken families never see them again. Despite the horrors of this, Fawn lives a comfortable life as a baker's daughter. Having lived this sad tale all her life, she has grown used to spending her days hidden behind cloth. But even within the mundane kitchen life, a secret as big as her kingdom's always looms in the back of her mind: she is not cursed. She was born an anomaly, the one Verlockan citizen without those grotesque features the curse brings; her skin is smooth and white as milk, keeping her immune from the curse's claws. When the home she thought she knew is suddenly turned upside down, Fawn realizes that she cannot live surrounded by secrets any longer. Her chance comes upon meeting a cunning stranger named Jacinth, whose bold spirit leads them both into an unexplored land to discover the truth behind all the lies. Along with wise Kendry, confident Wrendolyn, and some companions along the way, Fawn finds herself as she discovers the story behind her kingdom's fate - and if there is a way to break the curse once and for all.

Briarborne by EllisBeddoe

In the far western regions of Tayrul, beyond the coasts of Kemmaweth and Ostaviel, is the fractured Empire of Nyllensari, the realm of the fae and their many courts. One kingdom in particular that has resisted the rule of the Mynetheas Dynasty for millennia is that of Illyethluna, the realm of Dark Elves. Kept fully under Unseelie rule and ruled over by the royal Jhalvar family, it has become a place of strife and intrigue. Poisoned wine and daggers like thorns. An orderly anarchy, full of backstabbing courtiers and ruthless warlords. It's a place where the weak and enfeebled have no right to be, should they value their lives. Born to the greatest power in this realm, Vellienne's very existence damages her family's ruthless and cruel image. Tarnished their reputation. Born early and frail, white as a sheet and agonized by sunlight, Vellienne is kept by her mother Zeldiira, away from a world she wishes to hold in the palm of her hand, no matter how delicate. Plagued by her envy in her brothers' successes and her parents' dismay, as well as loathing for how her own body prevents her from achieving such heights, Vellienne begins to plot and conspire to become greater than was thought possible for her. Greater than her own kin. She would become someone else entirely, if that is what it took.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1 by marcellaiswriting

~ 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.

Alder Tierney is an estranged daughter of the North, a smallfolk with a secret larger than a dragon. She has the blood of the forest in her, the touch of the Old Gods. And she longs for more than her life. All stories begin somewhere. This is the story of a prince who falls from his dragon, finds his mother a sworn shield, and somehow (possibly) stops a war.
