King Baudwin of Breoch is a broken man. Crushed in the height of war, crowned in the face of treason and turmoil, he fights to save his kingdom. Hoping to stave off rebellion, he reluctantly agrees to marry the daughter of his main opposition. But travelling in disguise, he comes to realise his future bride may be even less inclined to marry than he is.

Rhiannon is hiding from the world. Haunted by the demons of her past, the last thing she needs is to be dragged from the shadows to marry a stranger. Refusing to play as a political pawn, she grudgingly agrees to leave the safety she's found in the Swamps of Lyndor to confront her parents. Against her better judgement, Rhiannon finds herself warming to the company of the knight escorting her.

Together, they must face their past. To survive the misery and destruction that have pervaded their worlds, they must learn to trust again. Not a simple task when their relationship is filled with lies and deception from the very start.

Cinders by Serena_Storm

In a realm where shadows whisper secrets and magic throbs beneath every step, Ash, a skilled huntress, becomes entangled in a destiny darker than she ever imagined. Her path crosses with a prince shrouded in darkness, his smile hiding more than mere secrets-it veils a sinister purpose and a connection to the enigmatic King of Shadows, who rules from the hidden corners of this world. As Ash traverses a treacherous landscape where nothing is as it seems, she must face not only her deepest fears but also desires she never knew existed. One arrow, loosed from her bow, sets in motion a chain of events that plunges her into a deadly game of power, where each move could either crown her as queen or drag her into the abyss. In this world of deception, trust is a double-edged sword. The prince's true intentions remain cloaked in mystery, forcing Ash to decide who to trust as she teeters on the razor's edge between light and shadow. One wrong step, and the darkness will consume her.
