After the queen of light was slain, king Soldar, the dark Fae declared dominion over the realms including the five human kingdoms. But there is a prophesy you see, one that foretells his destruction by a Fae. Distracted by the need to hunt down the harbinger of his doom, he ignores the human kingdoms leaving them alone to conduct their business as usual.
   Of the five human kingdoms the strongest demesne is the Kingdom of Pretoria.  Ruled by the benevolent king Silas, they are preparing to host the annual royal games when his son Prince Byron spies a young boy Darren who has come of age to join the royal army.  Evaline, Darren's ever protective sister volunteers to accompany her young brother becoming the first female to ever join the Pretorian royal army.
   Despite protests from her friend Caspian, the half brother the prince, his mother Jutu, her best friend Havah and the chatelaine Eve, Evaline is determined to protect her brother at all costs. This is the story of a determined young lady to battle court intrigue, and the specter of the dark Fae lurking in the shadows.

Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Audrey Grey will enjoy this first installment of Return of Vesna Series.

SEVEN MOONS by Brooklyn_nicole3

Many moons ago, the world of Vahldria flourished with Fae in abundance. As time moved on, so did its inhabitants. War was inevitable. And what was once Vahldria, is now split among boundaries, and the Fae no longer exist here. After everything, their magic and peculiar portals were left behind. Each boundary is ruled by a leader of their own kind. However, Nastaeria is known for its nasty business with the Videguard, a group of assassins whose purpose is to serve their owner. Novalie Venantius was born into the Videguard, alongside her wolf, Shiloh. Deemed an assassin at a young age, she began dipping her hands into a dangerous world of theft, trade, and murder. When word crosses Nova that the King placed a bounty on her, she is determined to leave Nastaeria immediately. Her owner gives her the only option of traveling to the old Fae land of Vahldria, where she tries her best to ignore the people who reside here: the Aiken. Following the mission her owner gave her, Nova is tasked to behead an unknown rebel of Vahldria. Upon finding her target, she is met with an unlikely character and more questions than answers. When worlds collide with the Princes of Vahldria, Nova finds herself in the mix of a very dangerous plan. Unfortunately, one problem exists, the signature sign of a Fae creature: her burning blue eyes. Nova faces betrayal in the ones she trusts, friendship with unexpected people, and love, something she has never allowed herself to feel since her mother passed. She begins a new life that she never could have imagined. A life that she is torn between giving up and continuing to pursue. But how many more deaths could she handle? Did her owner deceive her? Or help her? How far would she go for answers? And the one question that she can not stop asking. Where did her ancestors, the Fae, go?

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.

She wants to rule the Kingdom of Vivelle with her sisters by her side. She only has a few days left to come up with a plan before the Trial begins.
