What do you do when everyone seems to want you dead? 
Kill them first, of course.

Minerva Pyroline, assassin by night and heir to an empire by day, has one goal: 
Survive. No matter the obstacles. No matter the cost.
But with political tensions on the rise, strange feelings for a secretive enemy prince, and destructive capabilities hidden within Minerva herself, the goal is nearly impossible to attain. In fighting fire with fire, killing to not be killed, she's tipped the scales of justice too far. Blood cannot be shed without a price. The goddess of retribution is coming to collect.

When Minerva finds herself on the receiving end of the blade, she must answer its whispered question: 
Do you deserve mercy?

A Forest of Secrets by LRamirezN

⭐ FEATURED ⭐ 02/16/2018 Longlisted, Wattys 2018 ✅ COMPLETE Jocasta's nineteen years of peaceful existence in a little village of the Kingdom of Ontur blew up in pieces without much warning: Grandmother had a secret, an old pact with a mysterious man-a pact that, apparently, Jo and her new tagalongs - a flamboyant mage, a goofball knight pledge and a young alchemist-now had to take care of, thanks to the untimely death of the King of Ontur. A quest to find an ancient place, concealing an artifact of unmeasurable power and rumored to be deadly. And posthaste, before it falls into the wrong hands. That's something all grandmothers ask of their granddaughters sometime in their lifetime, right? And all that was at stake was the stability of the kingdom: no pressure. Set in a world where magic is vital, where mages are as equally feared and shunned as they're needed. A temporarily Kingless kingdom where vultures wait for the perfect time to take a plunge. A world where secrets and lies are as abundant, dangerous and necessary as magic. But something else brews in the Kingdom of Ontur: something bigger than Jocasta and her Grandmother's secrets. ⭐ 1st place in Fantasy, The Crystal Crown Awards 2017 || Highest ranking : #46 in Fantasy 03/04/2018 #writteninaction you can read a review here: https://www.wattpad.com/471550430-island-of-lost-toys-reviews-great-reads-for-the

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

Whispers of the Tenth by addington14

In a world ruled by ten types of magic, Eleanor has none-at least, that's what everyone believes. Dropped on the doorstep of a poor village during a storm, sixteen-year-old Eleanor has always been a misfit. Now, accepted into Winston Magic Academy in the capital city, she steps into a world of power, politics, and danger where her lack of magic should mark her as invisible. But Eleanor hides a secret... one that could rewrite everything the academy thought it knew about magic. As two castles-one radiant, one ominous-cast their shadows over the city, Eleanor is drawn into a growing conflict between ancient forces. Whispers speak of a forbidden tenth magic, long buried in myth and fear. And those whispers seem to follow her. Meanwhile, tensions rise beyond the capital walls-a powerful neighboring kingdom threatens war, led by a cruel ruler who hungers for control over all ten magics. With unexpected allies, enemies in disguise, and a charming boy who may not be what he seems, Eleanor must decide: will she run from the power stirring inside her-or let it rise?
