Lyra is the daughter of the brutal tyrant ruling the Second Kingdom. As her father's right hand and first General, she has tortured, killed and committed heinous acts against innocents. In the darkness of the night, she silences those opposing King Acheron, upholding his merciless rule. 

Arlen is descended from the vanished House of Ertha. He is driven by two certainties. The first is that he must protect the innocent in the Quarter from the bloodthirsty Corps. The second is that this can only be accomplished by wiping out the Acheron line. Working among a centuries old resistance, he knows he must face King Acheron - the man ready to burn every kingdom to the ground with his power lust, the man who slaughtered his parents. 

With the drums of war sounding closer than ever, a stratagem to wield the Artifact, a royal relic capable of massacring thousands, emerges and thrusts Lyra into Arlen's world. 

In a dance against time, betrayal and her very own nature, Lyra must decide where she stands - with the comforting darkness that consumes her and the kingdom, or the fiery passion of strangers in the Quarter, holding the potential to spark light in an era of darkness.All Rights Reserved

ENTANGLED by riddhisaraswat1

Welcome to the world of Arcane Bonds. Lyra Blackwood thought her life was ordinary-a quiet existence far from chaos. But everything shatters when she's thrust into a secret world of vampires, witches, and ancient magic. She learns she's the heir of the Flameborn Witch-a legacy tied to the Arcane Gate, a mystical portal capable of reshaping the fates of all realms, magical and human alike. Caught between her mundane past and a destiny she never chose, Lyra is drawn into the magnetic orbit of Tristan Throne, a dangerously charming vampire with enough arrogance to set the world aflame. Beneath his flirtatious exterior lies a protector with secrets darker than the shadows he commands. Guiding her through the treacherous maze of vampire courts and witch covens, Tristan becomes both her greatest ally and most infuriating obstacle. But Tristan isn't the only one vying for her attention-or trust. Enter Vesper, a roguish wizard whose loyalty lies solely with Lyra, even if his motives remain suspect. As alliances form and shatter, and war looms on the horizon, Lyra must navigate a deadly web of betrayal, forbidden desires, and the weight of a legacy she barely understands. With danger closing in and Tristan's possessiveness igniting tension at every turn, Lyra begins to unravel the truth behind her power and her lineage. Will she rise to claim her destiny, or will the secrets of the past consume her? Entangled is a spellbinding tale of fiery passion, dangerous alliances, and self-discovery. In this world where love and power collide, nothing is ever as it seems. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, enemies-to-lovers romance, and slow-burn.

A Heart Untamed by kaycat_writes

Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.
