(Posting to Royal Road) A child of Stormhenge, child of the giants of legend, Rúna has grown up sheltered among her own people, looking forward to the day she sets out into the wide world with a mix of excitement and trepidation. Every giant must find their place in legend, must win their gate into Paradise through feats of glory. Even trained for battle, schooled as a bard and storyteller, and born an able shape-shifter, she is anything but prepared for the world of the little-folk. 

Rigid and cut off from much of Creation, the world beyond Stormhenge is full of mysteries and dangers nothing has prepared her for. Her path takes her through the wild north, the lands of Ash Kordh, the home of myths and monsters, down into the kingdoms of men, where love and evil unfold as they will. Bound by the weaves and wefts of her fate, her honor will link her inexorably to those most in need of her protection and love even as she struggles to right a great wrong and cleanse a kingdom of dark influence. 

However, the cost, the sacrifice, might be more than she can pay.All Rights Reserved

The Monster's Stratagem (Lesbian Story) by HeatherDarte

Welcome to the future, where humans no longer exist - or so the monsters want you to believe. Dawn, one of the last of her kind, is tasked every month with leaving the safety of her home to traverse across enemy infested territory in order to keep her family afloat. There is only one rule: never get caught by what lies beyond the forest borders. When Dawn breaks this rule, she comes face to face with the monster, Syrena, who she would give anything for the opportunity to kill - and the feeling is mutual. What Dawn doesn't expect is for that very same monster to later need her help. Reluctantly, Dawn must join forces with her sworn enemy in order to uncover a plot that could lead to the ruination of everyone she cares for. Along the way, she learns that there is more to monsters than she originally thought. With this growing connection between the two, Dawn is forced to come to terms with her feelings for Syrena and reevaluate everything she once thought about her. Allied enemies, twisted betrayals, and a shocking truth plunges Dawn into questioning everything she once believed in, and herself... "Everyone wants to play monsters, ensure that you become the worst." --------- Cover made by @Shadowcroft © 2023 by Heather Darte

When Fae Kneel by Jan_u_lee

"From this very moment forward, I, Cyrus Ardere Kaan claim you, Ash Morin, as mine. Your every action will be for my benefit, your every thought will be on how you will best serve me, and every breath that you take will be mine to give and mine to take." And with this, I felt myself bound, held captive by delicate, yet unyielding hands that clutched me with an iron grip. Within the confines of an unfamiliar realm, Ash Morin found herself kidnapped by a cunning fae. Desperate to break free, she plotted against him only to find herself entangled in the clutches of yet another captor. How would she navigate a treacherous web of schemes and deceit if she ever hoped to find her way back home? But as she ponders her circumstances, she wonders if, given the chance, could she resist the temptation of long-lost secrets and the mesmerizing gaze of those fiery, vengeful golden eyes. ***WARNING: Dark content.

Until, indeed, the past, her memories, caught back up to her like a snake, slithering, and hissing. And this time, it won't be so easy to escape, was the message in the snake's beady, midnight-black eyes, in the snake's nasal, spine-chilling hisses.
