BRAITHE is leading a double life. The dutiful princess during the day, at night the masked vigilante fighting back against her parents' abuse of the kingdom's citizens. Disguised as a man to protect her identity, things get even more complicated when a handsome outsider catches her attention.

AURELIAN is not your typical damsel in distress. First of all, he's a man. Secondly, he's... actually exceedingly good at getting himself into sticky situations. A visitor in the kingdom, he finds himself embroiled in the ongoing struggles, though perhaps not in the sense he would have liked, getting kidnapped and all.

Now Braithe may need to save him from the very people she's been trying to help.

Fauna Clarice Rheasydia is one of two of the most feared assassins in all of Ker. The Ebony Nightingale. Trained since four, her identity has been kept secret, leaving only rumors of her bloody wake to whisper through the streets. Little do they know that the blood pooling at her feet isn't that of her victims, but instead that of someone she may have never truly known. Lance Arthur Rheasydia, The Sinister Fox. Trained alongside his sister to protect those he cares for, more so now than ever after the death of his soulmate and betrayal of his best friend. He has no path left to follow aside from that of his family, and even that is beginning to narrow. Or is it widening? Darius Zandro Rosendal is sick of playing the picture-perfect Crown Prince of Vandaria. His father sees nothing but a ghost when he's nearby, too busy praying to the Gods and their Saints that his wife's womb carries another boy. Darius's life force runs through the veins of his guard and best friends. He has the family he wants, all the luxury wealth can buy, but still finds something missing. That is until an unexpected visitor gives him hope for the life he's only dreamt of. Can they keep the demons coming from every direction from breaking down the walls? Are they capable of fulfilling their destiny? Or will they fail and damn the world to its crumbling end? This is just the beginning, and hope is running thin. **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 4,000 **Edited (x1) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES!

The Sweetbriar Slayer by AleksandraEvans

Aurelia is a Courtesan, not an Assassin. Her world is turned upside down, however, when she kills a high-ranking Senator in self defense. Given his status, and the political power his family wields, Aurelia knows she will be executed without a trial. When all hope seems lost, the Assassin's Guild of Glascoast steps in and offers her a rare opportunity: if she succeeds in assassinating seven senators in seven days, she will be permitted to join their ranks, and her murder will be written off as Guild business. As Aurelia struggles to complete the task set before her, she discovers that there is much more to this challenge than meets the eye. There are dark currents swirling through Glascoast, and somehow, she has stumbled into the heart of them. Hemmed in on all sides, a choice looms before her. Its consequences will ripple through her city, and have the potential to save or destroy her world. 1st place winner in The Blossom Awards, 2023 1st place winner in The Gemini Awards, 2023 1st place winner in the Tricolor Triennial Awards, 2023 *Contains graphic scenes of gore, violence, and sexuality* Cover by @annamitamuscaria
