In the lands of Kainor some people are born with runes. These runes, scrawled in black at the base of the right side of the neck, grant the person a certain power. These powers can range from cooking to combat and some can be very powerful and others not so much. 

One girl is born with a different rune, a golden rune painted on her face. The strange rune gives her strange powers. She is able to steal other people's runes. 

Now a dangerous assassin, Laika travels the lands of Kainor until she is finally captured by the King of Galabee's soldiers. She is used as a brute to strike fear into the King's not so loyal subjects, while she is kept company by the King's two sons. One of whom helps her realize that maybe she is more than just a killer.

In a world ruled by dark magic and ancient bloodlines, Zarek and Seraphine are the living embodiments of two opposing forces: one born of shadow, the other of light. Stolen from their mother at birth and raised under the tyrannical guidance of Vaeron and Kallista, they have become powerful weapons, groomed to fulfil the dark ambitions of their captors. But as they grow into their powers, they begin to question the future laid out before them. Zarek, with his brooding darkness and mastery over shadow magic, has always followed the path of destruction, but his sister, Seraphine, carries the light of hope deep within her-a light that both tempers and threatens to consume the darkness. Together, they are an unstoppable force, but they are also bound by the legacy of a twisted bloodline and the expectations of those who raised them. As the two prepare to leave the fortress of their childhood and conquer the outside world, they are tasked with ensuring the continuation of their bloodline-a task that will seal their fates. Torn between loyalty to the only family they've ever known and the desire to break free from the chains of their past, Zarek and Seraphine must decide if they will be the architects of destruction or the saviours of their destiny. The world is on the edge of chaos, and their decision will shape the future of magic, light, and darkness. In Children of Shadow and Light, loyalty, power, and family collide in an epic battle for control-where even the strongest bonds can be broken and the most dangerous enemies may lie within.

Together, they'll learn how leadership binds them together - or tears them apart . . . --- A low fantasy story set in an alternative medieval-gunpowder mix era.

Sword and Mind by AshleaAdams

Pallu, at seventeen, is exhausted from training as a warrior and as one of the Queen's elite White Guard, a group of telekinetics who protect the kingdom from evil mages. Already, she has traveled and battled more than most grown men. What she needs is a holiday, but naturally that holiday can't go without the king's being assassinated, her father nearly dying, her own life being threatened, and oh, she can suddenly hear a voice in her head.

Together these new friends must fight to save their kingdom from the chaos and destruction of traitorous mages. But at what cost? ***I've finally gotten all the chapters loaded!

Veiled in Light and Ruin by jemicahcolleen

Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

The Messiah [1] by c-cirillo

Athena has no one. Orphaned at the tender age of twelve, she doesn't want anything to do with the Color War; a decades long war being waged between the vicious King of the new world and the magic users of the past. In a realm where a person's eye color directly relates to the magic they can control, Athena's green eyes mark her as the most powerful mage to have been born in centuries - and everyone wants a piece. Jax has everyone. Prince of the new world, he has no understanding of the war that rages outside the kingdom walls. After the violent death of his childhood tutor, Jax begins to realize the world around him is slowly spinning into all out chaos - and that he doesn't want to be King if his only legacy is cruelty. Their fates are inevitably intertwined, and together, Athena and Jax will be forced to face a prophecy that could leave their country in ruin or usher it into a new era of peace.
