Midsummer Night : A Legacy of Gods Fanfic by anjumfiza

This is an Amateur attempt to write a fanfic based off Legacy of Gods Series. All characters belong to Rina Kent and RinaVerse. JerCes Daughter x LanMia Son Aanya's POV: London has always been my sanctuary, where goodness shines despite my father's Bratva ties. Meeting Theodore Sokolov King upends everything. His unsettling charisma and our fathers' rivalry stir turmoil. His recent actions at a Bratva meeting raise questions. What does Theo want, and why disrupt our lives? As I navigate deceit, I must protect my family's honor and legacy, even if it means challenging my own principles. Theo's POV: London is my domain, where power and strategy shape destinies. As the future CEO of King Empires, I thrive on control and ambition, navigating both boardrooms and underworlds with precision. Then I met Aanya Volkov. Aanya embodies everything I've learned to disdain-innocence, kindness, and an unwavering belief in goodness. She challenges my carefully crafted image of darkness concealed behind a gentlemanly facade. Yet, her presence captivates me in ways I cannot ignore. The rivalry between our families, rooted in old grudges between my father Landon and her father Jeremy, only intensifies my fascination with Aanya. My recent maneuvers within the Bratva were calculated to unsettle Jeremy, but Aanya's resilience surprises me. Her defiance fuels my determination to unravel her secrets. I've mastered manipulation, but Aanya remains an enigma-a puzzle I'm driven to solve. She holds the key to a world I've kept at arm's length, where emotions blur the lines between right and wrong. As I tread this treacherous path, I must tread carefully, for Aanya Volkov is more than a mere pawn-she's a force that could either save me or lead to my downfall.

Plight of an Empire by AMEdwards

Tragedy strikes at the heart of the Rundilean Empire. A king has been murdered and the long sustained peace is threatened for the first time since the founding of the empire, generations ago. All the while, to the far north, in a desolate land known only as the Tundra, an old enemy is stirring for the first time in thousands of years. Amongst the political discord and supernatural strife, sits Audriel Pellinor, heir to the throne of the empire, who refuses to follow tradition and find a husband. This epic tale follows a myriad of people across the empire who have everything at stake in this plight. At the center of it all, Audriel struggles with the uncertainty of who she can trust as plots abound to kill her and usurp her throne. First draft completed. Will be editing hard copy now. Note, I'm in the process of adding character lists at the back of the book for any who might be confused as to who is who.

But as the Rusted Citadel struggles to escape the shadow of the Iron Kingpin's despotic rule and embrace its brighter future, a new threat has emerged. A movement called the Shattered Circle works to reignite the conflict, with the goal of making money off of both sides for their own gains. With methods such as blackmailing, weapon trading, and information bargaining, they seek to return the Rusted Citadel to ruin and flee with the spoils. Moody has been tasked by King Ryker with investigating and taking down the Shattered Circle, and only time will tell if she succeeds.....or if the Rusted Citadel's dreams of freedom and liberty were always meant to be a fantasy from the start. • Cover designed by @Castiment

Superior by starlightt

Delaney Escott lives in a world where popularity reigns supreme. If you want to be noticed, social status is everything. The government is run by the Superiors: a very exclusive group of individuals who are virtually flawless. They are smarter than us and stronger than us, and to join their ranks is the highest honor. The Superiors pay an annual visit to the top schools in the nation and evaluate the students, choosing one boy and one girl - the most Popular in the school - to go the Capitol and train for Superiority. Delaney thinks that she's the only one indifferent to (and perhaps even suspicious of) the Superiors, until Caleb Payne, the most popular boy in school, approaches her with a request. He has a task for her, one that he believes she is uniquely capable of completing. And as she helps him, Delaney discovers that the government is hiding many secrets - and that the truth of the Superiors is far from what people believe it to be.
