Rasputina and the Witch's Tsar by FaeWhit

This is the Emperor. I think. Alexandr. Queen Victoria's grandson, the foreign British power. I feel his blood beat, thin, beneath his paper skin, in those blue veins. Something amiss. Something that's too weak in the Russian snow, the turned earth. His hand is cold against my cheek, thumb winding through my coiled hair. "How can I thank you for saving my son's life?" He runs a thumb against my lower lip, waiting. Not pressing, just hoping with bated breath. The walls are thin. The walls whisper. I pull away with a cold smile. I catch my eyes in his gaze, the forbidding ice of my home. Of what the snow made me. The wild, black hair of a vědma. "Haven't you heard? I'm the devil, Alexandr. You don't want to bed me unless you wish to lose your soul." *** A parallel universe where Rasputin was born as Matryona Grigorievna Rasputina. There was real magic. And the tsar most certainly fell under her spell. When she falls, so too will St. Petersburg. *** DARK FANTASY (UPDATES WEEKLY) COPYRIGHT 2018 BY SOPHIA WHITTEMORE. All Rights Reserved.

Whispers of Power by Alittlebookmadness

"I know what it's like to live in a house of lies." In a realm where secrets are currency and betrayal wears a crown, the three Vandenynas sisters live bound by chains-both seen and unseen. Leila, the favored daughter, has been groomed to be her father's perfect instrument, concealing a heart fractured by longing for freedom and truth. Nyla, the eldest, bears the weight of protecting her sisters, her loyalty forged through sacrifice and scars. And Isla, the youngest, hides behind innocence, her true strength kept leashed by shadows and silence. When whispers arise of a forgotten power tied to their mother's murder and the downfall of the Vandenynas line, Leila is forced into an uneasy alliance with Lord Ossian, a man whose charming demeanor masks dangerous ambitions. As the web of deception deepens and the sisters are pulled into a deadly game of loyalty and betrayal, Leila must unravel the truth before the chains of her past tighten beyond escape. But in a world where even whispers can kill, the line between ally and enemy blurs, and trust may be the most dangerous risk of all. Will the sisters break free from the chains that bind them-or become pawns in a game woven by those who whisper of power?

Fatal Bonds by ayiannabarnes

Hopelessly, a young boy wanders through the desolate streets of Eldorium's slums, belonging to nowhere but the dust. He has no recollection of anything - only that he finds himself drawing closer to the preeminent palace each day. Eldorium is a kingdom of conquered riches, clashing steel and an irrefutable rank of who is ontop and who is below the pyramid. The sand has seen an overflowing amount of bloodshed over all the years this formidable empire has stood. It all means nothing to him, until he stumbles upon a boy cornered into an alley of the gilded markets. One thing he discovers about himself is his ability to fight, which lands him on his knees before the throne, where the boy he aided turns out to be the prince. The prince pleads for mercy upon his new friend, for a commoner mingling with a royalty is forbidden, especially a commoner with no records of existence - ever. The king grants him training to become the prince's personal assassin; a deadly shadow for a powerful sun. They face the world together. Everyday is spent sweating blood or drawing it from the battles they dive into sword-first, falling even the most impenetrable kingdoms side by side. However, not even the desert can bury the dark secrets of Eldorium, nor can it whisper warnings of the daunting times to come. And the Gods... well, they see everything. And their rage grows, with Eldorium at the center of it.

Path to Power by BKDaniels

In the glittering halls of sixth-century Constantinople, an ancient temple burns - and with it, a dark prophecy is set in motion. Justinian, nephew to the aging Emperor Justin, finds himself thrust into a deadly game of power where noble blood means everything and his common birth marks him for destruction. At his side stands Theodora, a former actress whose wit and beauty make her as many enemies as allies. Together, they must navigate a court where every smile hides treachery and every friend could be an assassin. As shadowy forces gather against them, Justinian builds an unlikely alliance: Belisarius, a brilliant young general from the empire's savage frontier; John of Cappadocia, whose brutal efficiency keeps the empire running; and Magnus Aurelius, an ancient noble whose measured counsel masks unknown ambitions. But in the dark forests beyond Constantinople's walls, an otherworldly power stirs. The Shadow Master's warning echoes through time: "That which is sanctified, once desecrated, demands its price in full." Path to Power begins an epic saga of ambition, love, and betrayal, where the fate of an empire hangs on the choices of those who would rule it - and the price they're willing to pay for power.

A Coil of Shadows and Sunlight by AkiNoHyo

In a world where power decides fate, those born without magic-the Snakes-are seen as cursed, descendants of the Great White Serpent that was cast into the depths long ago. They are outcasts, prey for the Sun-Blessed, who wield magic like gods and rule with an iron grip. Mila has always known what she is-a Snake, meant to bow, meant to suffer. Until the day she is thrown from the heights, left to die at the hands of the powerful. But death never comes. Her blood ignites. Her body shifts. And from the abyss, she rises-a dragon reborn. Across the golden spires, Prince Edwin is raised to believe his destiny is to command a great dragon, just as his ancestors did before him. The world is his to rule, and the Snakes are his to crush. But Edwin is soft, too kind for a world built on cruelty. He dreams of peace, of change-of a future where power isn't everything. When fate binds the prince and the dragon together, their worlds collide in a way neither could have expected. Mila is no servant, and Edwin is no tyrant-but in a world that demands they be enemies, can they rewrite the story written in their blood? A legend reborn. A kingdom on the brink. And two souls bound by fate, standing on opposite sides of a war that has raged for centuries.

A Crown of Ashes by Nikkiwritees

The witches of Moraveth are nothing but ghosts-hunted, slaughtered, and forgotten. The Kingdom of Ravaryn thrives on our suffering, bleeding us dry to fuel their power. I was sent to stop them. Disguised as a noblewoman, I slip into the royal court with a single purpose: get close to the king, dismantle his empire from within, and make them all pay in blood. I have spent years sharpening my hatred into a weapon, and I will not fail. But then there's him. General Tristan Vale. The King's Butcher. The man who led the charge against my people, who burned my homeland and stained his hands with the blood of my kind. He is ruthless. Unyielding. A legend built on the bones of witches. And now he is my greatest obstacle. He watches me too closely, shadows my every step, as if he knows I don't belong. He is meant to be my enemy-my executioner, if he ever discovers the truth. But the longer I stand in his fire, the more I begin to see the cracks beneath his armor. The war-haunted man beneath the legend. And the way his touch-his forbidden, maddening touch-sets something inside me aflame. I came here to destroy the kingdom. So why does its deadliest weapon make me want to burn?
