She felt blessed, like the Stars themselves had granted her this. There was no limit, no rules or constraints. She was boundless; she was home, safe and secure in his unbreakable embrace.

~

Shackled in an abrupt and demanding upbringing, Althera is brought down to her knees before the king of the First Kingdom, who is all too powerful for his own good. But she doesn't remember anything - not her childhood, her family, or her identity. All she knows is her name and that she can trust no one.

As she is tossed between the affairs of the palace and the unstable feelings growing inside of her for a man she cannot have, Althera cannot help but question who she truly is what she wants, But what she doesn't realize is that every decision comes with a cost, and her choice may lead to the destruction of all she holds dear.

It Isn't Easy Being Queen by BrittanieCharmintine
49 parts Complete
Even teen evil queens need love. Right? (Or at least a handsome sword-fighting minion to do their bidding!) *** Bad things happen when Rowen is around and the worst part is, she has no idea why until a massive family secret sends her on a fantastical journey to fight her evil fate. Will Rowen fold into the forces of dark magic or honor her true self? *** On the surface, Rowen Keckilpenny-Brown seems like a normal teenage girl with normal teen problems-no boyfriend, overprotective parents, and no friends other than a three-legged cat. But her wild red hair, reptilian eyes, and legendary temper say otherwise. When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne. The current evil queen, Petronella Grimshaw, is desperate to crown Rowan the new sovereign and blackmails her into traveling to the queendom. Rowen has one month to learn how to evil queen, and it's not easy because there are those in the castle who want her dead, witches are disappearing, and an annoyingly cute swordsman keeps distracting her. Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all. Princess Diaries meets the School for Good & Evil with a touch of Wednesday Addams thrown in for bad luck. The best kind! Cover by @ClarissaNorth

Growing up, Imogene Baker knew that she was different from everyone else, but little did she know how different she really was. I grew up as an orphan, so I didn't know what it was like to have a real family. She was found on the streets as a baby, and since then, she'd been bounced around from foster home to foster home. She didn't know anything about her real family or who she was. Now, twenty-five years later, Imogene lives in a small apartment and works at a local coffee shop. She didn't really have any friends growing up. She has been an outsider all her life. Well, that was before she met Aaron Dawkins and knew what it was like to have a real friend. Aaron was kind to her and was always there for her when she needed him. He made her feel special, and she couldn't help but care deeply for him. He even promised her that he would help her find out her true identity. But then something weird happened that took her by surprise. She found out that she was no ordinary girl. She had unimaginable powers that she didn't know she possessed. Magical powers that she didn't even know existed. With these newly awakened powers, she was scared and confused more than ever. On her quest of discovering who she is, she met a guy who told her he knew about her parents. He seemed to know everything about her, and she was grateful to finally find out what was missing in her life. It didn't take long for Imogene to get close to this stranger. He pulled her in with his enchanting charm and looks and desperate for answers. She put her trust in him. However, deep down, doubts were lurking in Imogene's mind; doubts about her past and her supposed future. Even though this stranger gave her all the answers, could she really trust him? Was she really who he said she was? Finding out the truth will be the easy part, but will she figure it out soon enough to save her kingdom from the evil that wants to take it over? And will she be able to save her own heart in the process?
