The finale to The Culled Crown series.

                                                                      *****

Monroe Benson is a girl made of lies--a girl made of lies who fell in love with a boy who excelled at telling them. The son of a sailor, he'd said. A nobody. 

Liar. 
Beautiful liar.

Shouldn't she have tasted those lies on his lips? Shouldn't she have known? And even if she hadn't seen it, hadn't thought to look deeper into his past, shouldn't he have told her? Liar. Liar. Lair. He should have been honest. All those nights they'd laid in bed together and he'd never even been who she'd thought he was. Lies. All of it lies. And what would she have done if he'd mustered the courage to tell her the truth? Would she have run from him? As Monroe finds herself imprisoned once more in Oredison Palace, the answers to those broken questions hardly seem to matter anymore. 

The Culling is not over. There are four girls left. Four girls, all of them goddess-chosen and goddess-blessed. And the crown is not finished with them. The whisper of that roiling, dark power in Monroe's blood has not dimmed, even with tacet suffocating it. The game is not over. That toxicant throne was not sated with the blood of a princess. The throne craves a queen. The goddess craves blood. Erydia craves a revolution. And to end it all...to end the Culling and change the world, the liar---the boy with the golden tattoos and the artist's hands---must die.

Jewels of the Crown by heliotropegirl

Adellia has grown up surrounded by rules and regulations. She's been prepped from birth to eventually reside in the throne that has been in her family for what feels like forever. Unfortunately, her destiny is quickly approaching. Her father is dead, and her mother has only a couple of months to live according to doctors. All eyes in the castle, and kingdom, turn to Adellia expecting her to step into her mother's shoes. However, both women aren't ready to give up their lives just yet. Wanting to learn more about her kingdom, and the people of it, before she is forced into an arranged marriage and the throne for the rest of her life, Adellia ventures out into the kingdom to do just that. While there, Adellia meets a young blacksmith by the name of Faron and gets sucked into a plot that goes against her, and her mother's wishes. Will she be able to venture into the unknown, and survive out of the watchful eye of the palace? This book has sexual reference and mentions of things that could possibly be triggering to some - e.g. young motherhood and loss of a parent. This work is usually split into two parts, but I have decided to take down the second part, and consider the first part, one book for now, so I can work on the second. When the second part/book has been finished, I'll decide whether I like it as one book or to reincorporate the rest of the book to make it one. Entered in the Wattys(2020)!

The last Queen of Magic was evil.. hated all of her peers, yelled at everyone who helped her, and even ended up killing her allies. But another Mage stepped up and defeated the Demon King, being crowned the new Queen. When she was put into rule, many people favored her because of her kindness and selflessness towards anyone she came across. Merlin the Boar Sin of Gluttony has looked up to the new Queen, determined to be as strong as her. When she and Merlin have a first encounter, who knows what'll happen from there. (This is also in no way related to the Lovely series, I'm just too obsessed with Merlin) :)

A Wicked Game [The Crown Saga II] (Under Editing) by ToriRHayes

The pursuit for the Golden Crown continues but being the strongest academy representative is no longer enough. The victorious suitor must also convince the Golden Heir that they are everything the royals could desire in a bride before she can claim the title of Heliac's queen and guardian. Yet, Willow's purpose remains indifferent. But trying to balance life as a masked suitor while striving to achieve complete control of her powers is a lot more complicated than she anticipated. The more control she gains over her powers, the more control she loses of her emotions, and her feelings for Caiden are becoming harder to deny with each day she remains part of the competition. New secrets emerge, forcing Willow to choose between her heart and her goal if she wants to survive what destiny has in store for her. But completing what she set out to do is challenging when a mind corrupted by wicked thoughts is doing everything they can to prevent Willow from seeing the Crown Trials through.

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me. "You know, it's my job to eliminate spies." "Eliminate me huh? I'd like to see you try." I was surprised by my response, just as much as he was, and he raised one of his perfectly shaped eyebrows at me. "Is that a challenge? I like a challenge." *** I never wanted any of the lives set out for me. Unfortunately in the new world where the monarchy has taken over, there was never a choice for a girl like me. At 18, I'm forced to leave the academy. It's a horrible place where young girls are groomed to become the perfect wives, and yet it's the only home I've ever know . Now I'll either become a human incubator, breeding children for the kingdom, or sold at auction to a man who would make me his wife and slave. Little did I know I would become a chosen one.

Hidden by CSEdward

Curvaceous Carly Smith isn't your average 19-year-old she-wolf. It's hard to be ordinary when you're constantly on the run and forced to stay hidden. She lives in the shadows, moving from town to town every few months to avoid attention. Being a rogue makes her vulnerable; being unmated and a she-wolf makes her an even bigger target, as she tries to evade the influential individuals searching for her. All Carly wants is to be left alone. Since her teenage years, she has learned to completely transform herself. Disguising as "Carl," she dresses in baggy men's clothing and uses chemicals to mask her scent. Duct-taping down her curves allows her to pass as a low-ranking omega rogue wolf. However, one day this careful facade backfires when she ends up in front of one of the toughest and cruelest rogue-killing wolf packs. While posing as Carl, she faces the alpha. Despite her chemical disguise, he recognizes her as his mate! What will happen next? Will she reveal the truth, or will she try to maintain her cover for as long as possible? Will he believe she's a male, or will he see through her deception? How will she handle being pursued by another alpha who claims her for himself? Declan Cole, 29, is the alpha of one of the strongest and largest eastern packs, the Rising Dawn pack. They have a history of being both feared and respected on this side of the US. Declan has waited patiently for years to find his mate since he turned 16, almost losing hope entirely. However, things take an interesting turn when he returns home from a work trip and discovers a rogue wandering in his territory. He goes to interrogate the rogue and unexpectedly realizes they are mates! Not fully accepting this revelation, Declan leaves Carly in a cell, shocked and unsure of what to do next. What happens when certain members of the pack abuse their trust and power? What huge secrets will be revealed? Will Carly find it in her heart to forgive him, or will he have to chase her down as well?

Malevolent by MISSY_M00

I have always been angry. My life, to say the least, has been interesting. I guess 'interesting' could be a synonym for bad luck. Luck that all started with the colour green. I have always despised the colour green. It was what got me into this mess, but somehow, it seemed, would also get me out. My luck started when I crossed paths with the green-eyed butterfly. Only eight years old, yet it taunted me in a way I couldn't deny. Introducing me to my first experience of fear, for I was no longer a normal child, it was time to say goodbye. Thus, the war began, and to even the score I was forced to bore the scars that had stolen my childhood. From that day forwards, my bad luck continued until I met another pair of green eyes. And for the second time in my life, I stared fear in the face. To the man I will meet, will you use your power to save the good and defeat the bad? Or will you hate what you've gained, only to love what you had? Torn between the love of family and the freedom I desire.... pushed to decide between the comfort of safety or the danger that arises... I will cooperate or suffer the consequences? Maybe love and magic is all that is needed to secure the Crown of Wolves.

Valiantly Yours, by sheromania1012

"That's enough out of you." Frank drew his hands along the tops of her thighs. Her flawless skin was soft and contradicting under his rough palms. That short pink skirt was high and snugged around her upper thigh. If he shoved it up, he could see those expensive panties she wore. When he moved his gaze up, finally settling to her eyes. "You maybe rich, princess but to me you are just a little spoilt brat." Those hazel eyes burned with rebellion. "And you are a dirty poor man." Her words maybe spiteful but her tone was breathy. Like silver drops of crystals dangling in the chandelier except it came tumbling down and crushing him underneath. Snickering, he sneered his next words. "That's where you are wrong, princess. I'm only a man." _ Venus Williams is a high society sophisticated student of Burbington High School. She has never felt the strapping needs of struggle and never endured pain. That also means she never felt love and pleasure either. Becoming student President was her only accomplishment and she was determined to do her best. Politics and manipulation was her usual playbook but getting caught in difficult tight places and sneered upon by the school's janitor was not. Frank Harris always had a hard life. He didn't trust in good things because of their shortened longevity. Hence, the best he does is to never hope. Although, Frank keeps catching the sexy brat in compromising positions and all they ever do is bicker, degrade and keep circling around each other. How long will they keep circling?

Slow Poison by Jannysweet487

[A SWEET MAFIA ROMANCE] Nicole thought that her life would be easy now after she left behind all the memories of an awful night, which led to an unexpected tribulation in her life. She moved into a new city trying to forget the inexplicable incident that happened with her. Little did she know that she can never escape from it because the devil will always find her. No matter how hard she tries to get away from him. He was meant to be her medicine but he turned out to be a Slow Poison. ------------------------------------- I hear his hoarse voice bringing me back from the daze as he growls in between the kisses. "You have no idea how dangerous it can be..." He says with his lips going down to the area just above my breast, he sucks in desperately, squeezing my ass gently, making me whimper in bliss. I clutch to his shirt, trying to hold my body from collapsing. "Careful...You are messing with the devil, Cole." He doesn't let me breathe for a minute as he starts attacking me with his open-mouthed kisses all the way back. Rapture succumbs me as I feel his lips again on my neck, traveling higher. I breathe heavily, unable to maintain my composure while being acquainted with this unfamiliar sensation. His lips reach my ear as he gently nibbles my earlobe. "You know why people call me the devil?" His breath fanning over my ear. "It's not because I am a sinner." His harsh breath comes out in pants, showing me how equally he is affected as he continues. "It's because I am capable of making innocent people commit sins."

The second is she will win and be forcibly wed to a cruel man and live the rest of her life knowing she is alive because her sisters are dead. Illyana wants more. She wants to rule the Kingdom of Vivelle with her sisters by her side. She only has a few days left to come up with a plan before the Trial begins. With the whole kingdom watching eagerly to see which daughter wins, it is going to be almost impossible for Illyana to change the minds of a nation so that she can sit on the throne. Warning! Rated Mature as there will be violence, gore and themes of a sexual nature. Lots of parts, but not long chapters. :)
