Raised as abandoned royalty in the scheming Kingdom of Virilis, all Giovanna Vrykolan had ever known was the art of survival. Selfishly wrapped in their own avaricious desires, the small kingdom was soon forced into deference by the Holy Lyovia Empire. Thrown out of her own Kingdom, Gia climbs from the bottomless depths to the high throne.
Ripped away from her future and thrust into the desolate reality of her present, Gia will stop at nothing to claim back what is hers.

Hall of Games [ REWRITE ] | The Varya Chronicles #1 by seventhstar

MISTBORN x GAME OF THRONES *Wattpad YA profile Featured story* If Cadence had said no to a blood spirit, the noble family she worked for would still be alive. Her brother wouldn't be conscripted into the Hall of Games. She wouldn't have to follow him and be a soldier for the rest of her life. Her Papa would still have his head. A close brush with death awakens her necromancy abilities, and she becomes hell-bent on resurrecting her father. However, necromancy is forbidden, and if her secret is exposed, the Hall of Games will execute her. As her new powers demand more than her body can ever give, it will ultimately push her humanity to its limits-if saving her father doesn't destroy her first.

Tsar Czarina Alena Stepanov (Complete) by The_Mind_of_Cici

In a world in the middle of a global pandemic, the Russia/Ukraine tension has grown to a dangerous point. Russian citizens have had enough of President Vladimir Putin's terrifyingly chaotic time in office as he stations Russian troops on the Ukrainian border ready to invade. As the world receives word that Putin has ordered the invasion of Ukraine, they watch in awe as the Russian people and military removed him from office and dismantled the government. Within a week, Russia had voted to return to a monarchy, but the citizens also had a say. The one problem was that no one knew where the royal families had fled during the last revolution. With a name that means, "A born empress, Light; Crown," it was evident that Czarina Alena Stepanov's mother had high expectations of her daughter. Rina didn't know how high or even to what extent, not knowing anything about her family history on her mother's side. Not knowing much about her heritage, Rina watched her grandfather's home county turn upside down at the same time she and her boyfriend started looking to buy their first home.

The Carnelian Way by Jazzy1983

Deceit. Love. Power. Centuries ago, the mages of Old Denea destroyed their civilisation to keep Mai, a half-blood prince, from inheriting the throne. Mai rescued the survivors from the remaining Devastation and brought them to Eurora. Since that time the refugees' descendants have toiled--ostracised and feared by the Eurans, enslaved by the strict dictates of the Magisterium that keep their powers in check--hoping to earn forgiveness from the now god-like Emperor Mai. Rina, a young Denese woman leaves her home in Eurora's northern outpost, Amadore, and travels to the capital, Nebia, determined to find a way to convince Mai and the Magisterium to free her people before they rise up. But when she gets there, she uncovers a web of lies and deceit that threatens to trigger the demise of another nation.

The Plague Doctor's Daughter by rskovach

[2021 WATTYS Winner] Giovanna joins a handsome nobleman to save a friend from an arranged marriage, but they discover a plot that may have victims of Venice's Black Death rising from their graves. * * * As a child, Giovanna Visconti learned the arts of bloodletting and elixir brewing from her father with an intent to simply support his work, not take it over. But when he falls ill from the pestilence that's been ravaging Venice for months, she reluctantly dons the beaked mask of the plague doctor. Vowing to protect her father however she can, Giovanna hides him away and sees her first patient--the handsome, but alarmingly feverish Matteo Barozzi. Although she successfully treats this son of a high-ranking official, in a careless moment Giovanna fails to properly conceal her identity. The only reason she isn't tossed into a dank jail cell is thanks to the young man's honor and feelings of indebtedness. The association between the charming aristocrat and the clever commoner should end there, but when Giovanna's dearest friend goes missing right after her betrothal to the Doge's son and amid strange reports of nighttime attacks, violent commotions, and inexplicable behaviors in the community, the only person Giovanna can turn to for help is Matteo. Together, they must carefully navigate Venice's increasingly deadly canals to uncover a sect peddling false cures and a smuggling plot involving the highest levels of government or risk the entire Republic falling victim to something even worse than the plague: the risen dead.
