When Aleta Kami's father dies in a horrific accident, she vows to never tell the truth to the Kingdom's Empress. 

After years of successfully concealing her magical powers she is ousted, and the power hungry Empress with genocide on her mind entraps her as a weapon.

In a Kingdom forsaken by the stars and gods, Aleta is thrown into a quest with an old friend, a new enemy, and a confidant shrouded in mystery.  

Along the way she learns the truth about the gods and the stars - and unveils a web tying her to the tyrant Empress. 

But to save herself, her loved ones, and the people of her land, Aleta must come to terms with the truth - a task harder than mastering her powers of telling truth from deception. She must chose to keep her vows and remain in the comforts of ignorance she once treasured at home... or to unveil her deeply harbored secrets and risk damnation for a life she never imagined. 

Along the way, Aleta gains her footing, challenges her concept of faith, and must answer the age long question... What does she want? And has her wishes for a life changed?

Nobody noticed, nobody tried to care... until that someone. • • • They loath each other and there's nothing anyone could do. Winter and Ethan are like fire and ice, like darkness and light, like hurricane and tornado they don't mix at all. But, fate, my friend is one hell of a player. So, what will happen when Fate works it's magic and the two arch enemies are thrown together? Amidst all the chaos, heart breaks and tears, will the truth finally come out and surrender? or will it act just as stubborn as the person, who hid it. Copyright © mysteriouslypoetic 2018.

Inferno of Sin by fearamzi

Introduction In the shadows of power and privilege, desire becomes a dangerous game. Alessandra Vittori had built her life on control-of her image, her career, and her emotions. As Italy's most sought-after publicist, she was untouchable, crafting legends and salvaging reputations with a single stroke of her brilliance. But when she steps into the orbit of Vincenzo DeLuca, the enigmatic heir to a ruthless mafia dynasty, her carefully curated world begins to unravel. Vincenzo is no ordinary man. Cold, calculating, and untouchable, he is a predator in a tailored suit, with the power to shape the world-and destroy anyone who defies him. Drawn to Alessandra's fire and resistance, he sees in her a challenge, an opportunity to bend the unbendable. For Alessandra, he represents everything she swore to avoid: chaos, danger, and an unrelenting pull she can't escape. Their worlds collide in a dark dance of seduction, where every touch blurs the lines between obsession and surrender, between love and control. In the twisted corridors of power, they must navigate the thin line between betrayal and trust, even as the stakes grow higher-and deadlier. In the end, who will dominate, and who will be consumed by the shadows?

Tomorrow's Blues by fadedxfires

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!

Dooming Curse of the Bloom by yourFEATHERS

The day was anything but normal for Princess Adira. When her mother reveals the ancient tradition of their kingdom, Adira's emotions spiral, pushing her toward a destiny she cannot escape. Now, she embarks on a perilous journey to the fourth continent-an uncharted land full of mysteries, dangers, and dark secrets. She isn't alone. With her are two loyal best friends, but the trio soon finds themselves caught up in a web of intrigue. Nine strangers, divided into secretive groups, are also heading to the continent, each with their own hidden motives. But as tensions rise, two individuals bring chaos that threatens to tear apart the fragile alliances. Who can Adira trust in a world where loyalty is uncertain, and even the most familiar faces might hide dark secrets? In this world, magic is alive-but not in the ways you might expect. There are no werewolves or vampires here, but angels, mermaids, and half-human creatures walk among them. As Adira's journey unfolds, she will face not only external threats but also the turmoil within herself. The powers at play are strong, and so are the emotions-will she be able to balance it all, or will she succumb to the path her closest one chose years ago? -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬: Design by @yourFEATHERS | Background image from Pinterest I hope you enjoy this story!

The Unlikely Hero by StValentineSt

When both the impossible and improbable happen and, out of all the wondrous creatures that reside in Amyron, young Aleta faces a dragon, she feels her whole world change and steps up to take the mantle of the hero that her people need. Or not. Preferably, not. With her moral compass pointing in quite the opposite direction and her not so sunny disposition making it difficult to find allies, our young heroine would rather slip away and hide her hide, so to say. And yet, as the news of dragons returning break out, she might just have to put her lifelong dream of getting rich aside and go on a world saving spree.
