The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy) by chlo_dance
39 parts Complete
As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist. A fight for her loved ones. A fight for the oppressed. A fight to save the remaining good in Naturian. The chains have been released. Now the real fight begins.

The Cursed Throne [Under Revision] by ShadowedRunes
32 parts Complete Mature
Bound by chains, haunted by a curse, and trapped in a palace of shadows. When a tyrant king claims that she is the reincarnation of his treacherous queen, Elara is torn from her life of anonymity and thrust into a world of power, manipulation, and danger. The king demands her loyalty, but his motives are as dark as the curse that plagues his throne. In the gilded halls of the cursed palace, she discovers secrets that could shatter the fragile line between love and hate. As their deadly game of power escalates, she must decide: Will she destroy the king to save herself, or surrender to the darkness that binds them both? The throne demands blood. The curse demands sacrifice. And her heart may demand something far worse. Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of emotional manipulation, toxic relationships, dark romance dynamics, and morally gray characters. Reader discretion is advised. DISCLAIMER: I know the names change around chapter 15 or so, I don't know what was going on in my head. I'll revise it as soon as possible. Just picture Liora and read Elara instead. I'm really sorry!

He also answered my questions vaguely and I was nowhere closer to figuring him out than when he first arrived, but I was drawn to him. Like an addict to a drug, damn I wanted to be close to him. I wanted his touch. There was no sane explanation for it, it was just a want, a need."
